Chateau de Chantore is a truly gorgeous 18th-century era Norman chateau B&B, with a view of Mont-Saint-Michel, and surrounded by nearly fifty acres of peaceful woods and parkland which includes a lake.
It has a selection of tremendously elegant rooms and suites that really are a treat for the eyes and, though modern with some touches, they are so in keeping with the historical fabric that you’d be forgiven for a waking dream that Louis XV is still on the throne.
The eye for design – the attention to historical detail in particular – is very impressive indeed.
There are no duvets – only traditional linens and wool blankets on the beds, and certainly no TVs, though there is WiFi. If you’re looking for a thoroughly authentic French chateau stay, but with the comfort levels of today, then this is it.
Some Guest Reviews:
“Chateau de Chantore is a magical place! Everything about it is wonderful – the most beautiful grounds to walk and experience calm and peace – peacocks, swans and fish in the lake, beehives, horses, beautiful apple trees (organic cider!) and the most sumptuous breakfast you will ever experience. Thank you to our wonderful hosts….”
“I truly felt like a pampered princess for a night! While exploring Normandy, a girlfriend and I decided to treat ourselves to a night in a chateau. This turned out to be a phenomenal decision. Chateau de Chantore itself is a beautifully restored residence. I felt as if I had stepped back in time as I walked through the halls, explored the sitting room, or lounged in the bedroom. Every space both inside and out is remarkable. The chateau sits on a large piece of land, and even offers a view of Mont St. Michel! There’s lakes, horse stables, and walking paths…take a stroll around and enjoy the quiet countryside- you’ll most likely have it all to yourself as the chateau only books out a handful of rooms. Bernard, the hotel’s owner, is also the most wonderful host you can imagine. The breakfast included in our stay was truly fit for a queen. I would not hesitate to come back here again- it was a one of a kind experience…..”
