Stunning views and a really fabulous pool!
When we first saw the photos we went “wow” but when we saw it for real we were even more impressed! The Chateau and it’s surroundings are truly breathtaking and the owners are doing a great job renovating and making improvements. The pool area in the converted orangerie is a great example. There were two toilets, a shower and a small kitchen and large dining area. Lots of room to spend all day at the pool. Inside the Chateau the bedrooms were very comfortable and spacious. There was even a laundry room - which was handy as we were a family of 9 on this trip. If you have someone who is disabled or struggles with stairs then the downstairs bedroom and en-suite were fantastic. Overall we had a great time, including lots of great meals in the lovely dining area. Many thanks for your hospitality, Marina and Phillipe!

A delightful week in the Chateau
A beautiful historic house in a picturesque setting overlooking the valley. The hosts, Marina and Philippe, were very welcoming. We had a great week walking in the surrounding countryside, visiting nearby towns or just relaxing by the swimming pool. We hope to visit again.

Shhh, don’t tell anyone
We had a wonderful stay in this beautiful chateau. We have been coming to France for decades and I can defy say that this is the best equipped. Marina and Philippe were able to be very versatile with bed combinations which, with 5 children, made our bedtime so much easier. The pool is superb and the pool house again wonderfully equipped. The area is beautiful and with a rich history to explore. Would love to return

AMAZING!!
The property is beautiful and even better than the pictures. There is so much history in this exquisite home. It is updated with comfortable and new bathrooms and a very well equipped kitchen. There is character in the historic wood floors and stonework. The owners are fantastic and outstanding and extremely kind. They went above and beyond for us and made our stay incredible. The spiral staircases may be difficult for people with limited mobility, but the downstairs bedroom has been outfitted with a large and accommodating bathroom/shower for those differently abled. Be sure to enjoy the sparkling pool with newly renovated pool house… as well as ping pong and foosball in the basement. I already want to return!

Beautiful chateau in a tranquil setting - magnifique!
This was the perfect place for a stay with our extended family. The chateau is beautiful and the gite section has been very sensitively refurbished so it keeps all of its original charm whilst providing every modern convenience. The chateau provides a spectacular view over the river valley, which can be enjoyed from all the major rooms in the gite. The chateau owners, Marina and Philippe, were very welcoming and the check-in/departure process was a breeze. I highly recommend this place for a peaceful holiday in a beautiful setting.

Wonderful, Beautiful Chateau
We recently had a wonderful stay at Chateau De La Flotte. The Chateau is beautiful with rich history. The interior retains its historical charm with modern, upgrade touches in the bathrooms and kitchen. The interior was spectacular. I just wish we could have stayed longer. Only 10-12 minutes from the village of La Charte-sur-le-Loir where several restaurants and shops are located. There were a total of 5 of us with an additional 2 friends joining us for two nights. We had ample room with the 5 bedrooms, large kitchen and numerous sitting areas and dining area. We hope to return soon for a longer stay. The owners, Mr. and Mrs. Chassany are wonderful!

Excellent accommodations, excellent value!
Marina and Philippe have created a magical holiday space and we feel so lucky to have experienced it. It was our most favorite stopping point in France this trip. The historic Chateau is truly first class and better than we could have imagined. The bucolic views were unforgettable, like oil paintings at each beautiful window. The kitchen and baths are new, very tasteful, fitting and comfortable with everything we needed. It was such a great location for us. Even in December/January we managed to visit Chambord, Chenoncueau, Villandry, Ambroise and Tours to get an excellent taste of the Loire Valley. We highly recommend!!

Magnifique lieu, Environnement superbe
Excellent séjour sous tous les aspects. Hôtes charmants et arrangeants. Château magnifiquement rénové dans la partie alloués aux invités, avec tout le confort moderne haut de gamme et tout le charme de l'ancien. Équipements très largement au niveau (orangerie rénovée en contrebas avec barbecue et cuisine d'été, piscine, ping ping, baby foot). Environnement époustouflant avec vue plongeante sur la vallée. Je précise : nous étions avec une personne à mobilité réduite (en fauteuil électrique) et tout est très bien adapté

Court séjour avec des amis et en famille
Excellent WE au château de la Flotte. Malgré un temps mitigé, nous avons pu profité de la piscine chauffée et de l’orangerie très bien restaurée et aménagée avec goût. Pour nos 3 familles de 4 soit 12 personnes, le gîte est idéal. La vue depuis les pièces de vie est magnifique. L’accueil et les conseils des propriétaires ont largement contribué à nous faire passer un séjour très agréable. On recommande vivement !!!

Très agréable séjour en automne
Excellent accueil de nos hotes et délicate attention à notre arrivée. Très beau château, décoré avec goût avec vue imprenable sur la campagne Sarthoise. Nous avons sejourné à 12 dans le gite du château de la Flotte lors des vacances de la Toussaint (enfants, ados, adultes et grands parents). Le gite est très propre, très confortable et bien aménagé. Très bon couchage, très grandes salles de bain, chambres spacieuses, cuisine bien équipée, grande salle à manger et grand salon avec poêle. La chambre au rdc avec sa salle de bain attenante est idéale pour des personnes âgées ou à mobilité réduite. Alors qu'il a plu et fait frais une bonne partie du weekend, nous avons trouvé le gite très agréable car bien chauffé, bien isolé et chaleureux. La salle ping pong et baby foot a été appréciée des petits et grands. Les promenades dans la forêt avoisinante (GR), nous ont permis de profiter des paysages aux couleurs de l'automne et de voir des biches. Un endroit à recommander. Nous esperons y revenir aux beaux jours pour profiter de la piscine.

Un week-end d'exception
Le site, exceptionnel, a fait l'objet d'une rénovation soignée et respectueuse des bâtiments historiques. Les pièces ouvertes à la location sont toutes dans un état impeccable avec des équipements de qualité (salles de bain, cuisine) et les accessoires sont à profusion, excédant largement les besoins d'un week-end de quatre jours. La piscine et l'orangerie qui la longe sont un lieu de détente et d'amusements pour toutes générations avec la vallée du Loir pour décor en arrière-plan : MAGNIFIQUE !!!!

Traumhaft!
Eine wundervolle und außergewöhnliche Zeit. Das Herz schlug schon höher als wir bei Anreise das tolle Schloss am Hügel erblickten. Die Zufahrt zum Schloss hat die Vorfreude nochmals gesteigert. Am Schloss wurden wir sehr herzlich von den Eigentümern begrüßt. Sehr nett und ausführlich haben wir den Teil des Schlosses (Ferienwohnung) sowie Orangerie, Swimmingpool und Freizeitraum erklärt und vorgestellt bekommen. Die Ausstattung einfach nur toll und sehr reichhaltig. So viel Besteck, Gläser, Geschirr etc. hatten wir noch in keiner Ferienwohnung. Die Beschreibung und Bilder auf der Internetseite geben die Schönheit der Zimmer und Bäder nicht wieder. Wir sind mit 8 Erwachsen gereist und haben alle Zimmer belegt. Wir haben uns alle sehr wohlgefühlt und haben das außergewöhnliche Ambiente sehr genossen. Wir wären gerne länger geblieben.

Les derniers travaux ont permis d'ajouter un espace piscine très agréable, dont nous avons été les premiers à bénéficier, et doté d'une belle orangerie restaurée comprenant tout le confort nécessaire : cuisine d'éte, salle à manger d'été, sanitaires et douche. A noter que les équipements sont accessibles aux personnes handicapées. Les propriétaires du château sont extrêmement attentifs et compréhensifs.
