Château Sainte Sabine

This was the fairy tale Chateau- tall beautiful towers, sweeping drives and gardens, perfect lawns and fountains- but then it was backed up by a ‘fairy tale experience’. As we arrived at the hotel car park I thought we had crashed someone’s wedding- there were ladies In beautiful dresses and gents in casual/smart wear wandering around the inner courtyard sipping cocktails. It turned out after a warm welcome by the hotel greeter who took our bags, that this was no wedding, but merely the cocktail party for all guests that is held every evening at 6-7pm. With a three piece live band playing classical & easy listening music, free cocktails & canapés from the endless trays of attentive waiters, we wandered around the grounds of this stunning , very grand hotel , and mingled with the other guests - and yes we felt like guests at a very posh wedding. Not bad on Thursday evening on trip down to the South of France. Also worth a mention was the restaurant- a Michelin mentioned restaurant- such incredible beautiful food delivered by waiters & sommeliers who attentive but not hanging around. The chef here really deserves a Michelin star such was the gorgeous food- the views from the large windows are also worth a mention - across the lawns and down to the lake. Stunning. But perhaps the highest praise is for the staff - from the manager to the receptionist - they were so friendly , helping to sort out any problems, all spoke English very well and were generally charming. The room we had was large - high ceilings and windows and with a lovely bathroom and a view of the lake. Definitely will return again
