Château de Vault de Lugny

This hotel is so discreet we almost drove right past it. The grounds are amazing and the service excellent. There is a pond, a restaurant garden, a flock of white peacocks and a flock of geese and a chicken coop. A lovely ambience.

This is a beautiful castle. However, the hotel inside is a disappointment. The cheapest room is still outrageously expensive but small and has no charm at all with uninspired furniture and a tiny TV. No spa, just a small, stuffy indoor pool with some jets. The bar features a severely limited selection and an amateur bartender charging high-end prices. Breakfast was OK but served in an uncomfortable room. Service is a mixed bag from friendly and helpful to indifferent and snooty. The only redeeming feature is the park and terrace with a majestic tree. It seems the hotel is living of its "1000 Places to See" fame, attracting many unsuspecting English speakers, and of its truly excellent, Michelin-starred restaurant. There are much nicer places to stay in Burgundy.

Set in nature, this Chateau is an absolute delight. My wife, adult daughter and I loved every minute here. It was hard to leave! Both the dinner and breakfast we enjoyed while there were beyond first class--so delicious, and the service was the best of our two weeks in France. We loved the staff! We stayed in what appeared to be the carriage house--it was wonderful. The beds, living area and bathroom could not have been better. Chateau de Vault-de-Lugny is truly a special place.

The pictures do not do show what you experience at this castle. The Staff, Rooms, yards and the food are all amazing. Rare find.

This is a beautiful property and we felt like royalty staying here. Our room, the King Room, was huge! And the bathroom was almost as big. The only downsides to the room were: the lack of conveniently located outlets for modern electronics, the shower didn’t have any shelving for products, and the large bathroom windows faced the front of the chateau, which were draped with only sheer curtains. So make sure you use those provided robes! Our breakfasts were plentiful and we enjoyed two very delicious gourmet dinners here. The gardens are lovely and the geese, ducks, and chickens add to the charm. We highly recommend this hotel- it’s gorgeous.

This is a truly lovely place. We arrived in mid 30 degree heat and were shown immediately to our gorgeous room, which was delightfully cool. The bed was super large and the bathroom had all amenities. We had emailed 2 days prior to advise that owing to a fish intolerance we could not eat fish and that was acknowledged on arrival. Nevertheless the restaurant staff appeared aghast that we could not eat fish as the menu is fish dominated and we were persuaded to have crab starter. The only non fish main was duck which is not our favourite thing to eat. However, the appetisers, crab, duck and dessert (raspberries from Chateau garden) were simply delicious and faultless. We ate dinner and breakfast the following day on the terrace overlooking the grounds and chateau walls. Robot lawnmowers (which without my glasses I thought were giant hedgehogs) worked away throughout. Breakfast was superb, each guest was served breakfast on the terrace on a tray - a boiled egg, croissant, baguette, cold ham, selection of cheese, yoghurt, condiments - all beautifully presented, felt thoroughly spoiled. By the way the wine list was superb.
