What people say

Château Gioux is located in a beautiful setting, perfect for those who love peace and nature. You can walk through picturesque villages, meadows, and forests, where the silence is overwhelming. The B&B is tastefully decorated, and you feel welcome from the moment you arrive. Steven and Sabine are the perfect hosts, doing everything they can to make sure their guests are comfortable. On Saturday, we enjoyed the *Table d'Hôte*, a delicious 3-course meal made with fresh local products. On the other evenings, we also joined the table for a simpler meal, but it was prepared with just as much care and love for the ingredients. It was delightful. For breakfast, Sabine offers variety every morning. We had, for example, bacon and eggs before heading out for a long walk, or once we were treated to delicious French toast with freshly baked apples. And let’s not forget Steven's homemade pastries! For our hikes, Sabine packed us a picnic with tasty sandwiches, generously filled, along with a piece of fruit and a drink. After our walks, we were welcomed back with a nice cup of coffee and a friendly chat. A definite highlight is relaxing in the hot tub while enjoying the sunset and the stars. Pure indulgence! We will definitely return!

Holiday ❘ Family We had a wonderful stay in a beautiful, spacious room with a private bathroom. The hosts were incredibly friendly, and we enjoyed the dinner made with fresh local ingredients. A fantastic stay in a peaceful, green setting, perfect for walks. Highly recommended!

Very peaceful location with a very warm welcome. Sabine and Steven are extremely friendly, and the breakfast was great. A top place to explore the Creuse region!

A beautiful residence, charmingly and warmly decorated, run by hosts who go above and beyond for their guests. The bathroom in the Antoinette room is fit for royalty. The breakfast and *table d'hôtes* were excellent, with plenty of homemade products. I was delighted with this stay and recommend it without hesitation. It's also ideal for disconnecting, if desired..

A very beautiful residence. The setting is peaceful, and the rooms are charming. The period décor is very pleasing. We had dinner there, and the food was excellent. The hosts are lovely and took great care of us throughout our stay. I highly recommend it.

A very short but very pleasant stay in a peaceful place managed by Sabine and Steven, who were wonderful hosts. I have fond memories of my time in the Creuse, despite the somewhat unnerving roads, as they were very narrow. I loved the spacious room with a large bathroom equipped with both a bathtub and a shower. The décor in the common areas was very original.
