Each bedroom has its own beautiful design. The outdoor areas are stunning. The place oozes luxury but in an understated way. The feel of the chateau as well as the decoration and design is extremely high end.
The private chef Nicolas and his team were absolutely phenomenal. Some of the best food we have eaten in a long time (and we are all foodies from London, where some of the best restaurants in the world reside).
The concierge team both on and off site were extremely helpful. Amaya at Villanovo helped us every step of the way up until the trip with Jennifer taking over once we got there.
