Chateau de Talhouët - Rochefort-en-Terre - France

Click to Enlarge

The condition of Chateau de Talhouët is absolutely immaculate, the building dates from the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries and all its areas are so perfectly maintained (refurbished of course) that they look exactly as they must have been hundred of years ago... The salons as well as the rooms are really impressive and absolutely majestic! Now each room is fitted with an up to date bathroom. They have only eight rooms which are distributed in two floors. In each floor there are three rooms accessed by the main staircase of the chateau plus a fourth room in another part of the chateau, also on the same floor level, but accessed through a different staircase (these rooms are priced lower because the staircase is smaller). There is a characteristic of Chateau de Talhouët that can be quite appealing when traveling with family, each floor has two rooms sharing a threshold that when the two rooms are rented together, they become a nice apartment type arrangement; the rooms with this characteristic are the Louis XIII and Louis XV on the first floor, and the Bleue and Montgolfiere on the second floor. Overall, the Chateau de Talhouët is a great place with a wonderful atmosphere, where the chatelier, Monsieur Soulaine, is a great host and the cook could not be better...

"I can highly recommend Chateau de Talhouet - warm welcome, beautiful surroundings, excellent food - we plan to go back!"

"Everything was great, a bit remote, but a great town. Great room. Food was excellent. We were well cared for."

"Though our visit was short we were pleased with the willingness of the staff and we hope we will use your services in future again."

"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Chateau Talhouet, and will definitely stay there again if we are in the region. We found the rooms to be very nicely appointed and maintained, the dining room service was very personal and the food was excellent, and the grounds of the Chateau were beautiful and relaxing. All in all, it was one of the better lodging experiences we have had. We will definitely use your service for our next planned trip to France next year."

"We enjoyed it very much - a unique experience which we will remember for a long time. Your site was very helpful in making the booking."

"Chateau de Talhouet was the best we have visited, the owner was welcoming and helpful, we had beautiful rooms and lovely dinner and breakfast. We would certainly visit again and recommend it to others."

"We had a lovely three days at the Chateau de Talhou�t. The grounds and location were wonderful and the Chateau was very peaceful."

"We visited Ch. Talhouet in October, 2006. It was outside of Rochefort-en-Terre in the countryside, but was worth finding. Our room was reasonably priced and delightful with a good bathroom. The chateau is marvelously furnished by M. Soulaine and our dinner was excellent."

"We had a wonderful night�s stay at Chateau Talhou�t, probably one of the most enjoyable on our trip to Brittany. M. Soulaine was a remarkable host; the room was very nice with a nice, albeit small, bathroom. The furnishings in the chateau were amazing and it was obvious that M. Soulaine has spent a lot of time searching for exactly the right things. My husband especially enjoyed our stay there due to the pool table and the other friendly guests. We had dinner there that evening which was also very good et tr�s intime in a small dining room beautifully set. The chateau was a little removed from Rochefort-en-Terre but that was not a problem for us, although it may be for some other guests. I enjoy your website a lot and always look there when searching for hotels. Keep up the good work!"

"I am delighted to say that our stay at The Chateau Talhouet was excellent. The house itself was tasteful and showed eclectic taste. We had an enormous bedroom looking over parkland and the woods and the room and its decor really took us back to the 18th Century, when I imagine the Chateau was in its heyday. Monsieur Suleman was most attentive to our needs and his discreet but efficient service in the dining room was just right. The food was excellent. We will most certainly visit again, funds permitting!"

"Chateau de Talhouet is a unique and special place. We have been guests there 6 times. The country side, the forest one drives thru approaching the chateau, the well groomed gardens and the views to the hills are lovely. Externally the castle is an impressive example of Renaissance architecture. Inside everything is beautiful. The furniture, carpets, objects d' art'. It was restored by the owner, M. Jean-Pol Soulaine who is a connoisseur and the personification of grace and charm- capable and thoughtful gentleman. He administers the chateau with quiet efficiency. Dinner is served at small tables to there is no need to troupe at night after a busy day looking for a restaurant. Fresh seasonal food is carefully prepared and well presented. Beautiful, clean, comfortable bedrooms, delicious food, lovely surroundings- what more could one ask. We have enjoyed every day there and think highly of it. (We don't seek out "deals"- we just pay retail. Running a Chateau is costly-Kathry not a charity for prosperous travelers who dont need such concessions). We have stayed 6 times from 1999 thru 2007."
