Castle of Thorens

很漂亮的小城堡，據説是12世紀的，佈置不是很豪華，可是也很温馨整潔，晚餐簡單的三道式，完全不是外面吃的那種重調味的，據説是比較好的法餐才會有的食物本味，很好的城堡住宿體驗。

Stunning views, beautiful castle with great history. Staff was amazing. Food delicious. Everything about our night was incredible!

Hotel has a no refund policy and is very pricey. Beware before booking here and spending a large sum when most other locations will provide some type of refund.

Staying at the exquisite Chateau de Thorens is a once in a lifetime experience and a memory my family and I will treasure. It’s not a typical hotel experience; it’s more like being welcomed to stay at a friend’s chateau, one that just happens to be out of a fairytale. If you’re looking for a pampering spa hotel, don’t come here. If you want a lovely, friendly welcome where the hosts want you to enjoy the tranquility, the peace, the loveliness, then this is for you. Definitely have dinner at the chateau! We ended up meeting another couple and having a four hour dinner with so many courses that I lost count (each one delicious) and Geoffrey stayed until midnight, thrilled that we were enjoying the castle. I practiced French with the count and wandered the woods. Honestly, it was perfect. If you’re open to a unique and lovely stay in the countryside, not too far from Annecy, definitely stay here! Even our 17 year old daughter loved it (and if you know teens, that’s high praise indeed).

Disappointed. I had high hopes but this place fell short of everything but the exterior. The welcome was awkward, and nobody offered to assist us with our suitcases. The room was large, but was also filled with bugs along the walls (see photo.!!) The person working there would not accommodate us for a 7am breakfast (kind of ridiculous, even though I paid for it in advance.) The stay was just not warm/welcome. I don’t recommend staying overnight, maybe just a day time visit.

Absolutely beautiful experience. Just perfect.
