Perfect Château Experience

We had a fab family get together, the chateau is perfect for large groups - the bedrooms are all spacious and very comfortable (no bad rooms) and downstairs has lots of areas to congregate as a family/group or escape for some peace. Highly recommend!”

A Royal birthday Celebration at Château d'Isle-sur-Marne

Martine, the owner, provided an exquisite welcome with a stunning flower bouquet, making me feel truly royal upon my arrival at Château d'Isle-sur-Marne for my 40th birthday. The venue, perfect for intimate gatherings, featured a majestic entrance and beautifully maintained gardens that were a lush green in early May. Whether enjoying the cozy chimney warmth on cooler days or the expansive outdoor space for barbecues on sunny days, every moment was magical. Martine’s attentive and responsive hosting made our stay unforgettable. Highly recommend it for a luxurious and serene getaway. Merci,Merci,Merci,Merci, Martine!”

A magnificent Chateau on the doorstep of Champagne

Chateau Isle-sur-Marne is a magnificent estate and is a great place for a group of friends or families. The owner (Martine) and host (Stella) were extremely helpful. We really enjoyed a week in this special estate.”

Magnificent chateau out of a fairy tale story

This almost 300 year old château was magnificent. We had a group of 4 couples, each who had their own en suite bathroom. There are two additional bathrooms to use in the common areas downstairs. Since some of the en suite bathrooms are jack and jill style bathrooms, one could utilize additional bedrooms available if needed. While we were there during a very cold week (it snowed for a few minutes when we arrived), the grounds were still breathtaking and well maintained, and the home stayed warm enough with 3 roaring fireplaces downstairs with plenty of wood available, and heaters in the bedrooms and bathrooms, and main rooms. All rooms are quite spacious yet have understated and modest, but tasteful, furnishings. Some of the rooms such as the main salon (living room), and two dining rooms, looked and felt very regal with their high ceilings and incredible paneled molding, similar to rooms one might find in a palace. The home has an office and Tv room, as well as French pool table room and bar area. The kitchen was quite large and had an enormous island that we could utilize to set up a buffet each morning, as well as enjoyed a cooking class from a local gourmet chef. This chef also brought us breakfast several mornings which was a feast for about double the persons we had. Him and his wife also prepared and served a special dinner with wine pairings from the region. The outdoor setting and grounds were my favorite, and are incredibly picturesque and peaceful. They actually look even more fairytale like and beautiful in person. I loved sitting in the salon and looking out to the backyard and beyond each day. When the weather was nice, we could walk down to a small creek that took us down a path to a pond with several swans (offsite). When the day was clear, we could look to the west towards the old town church, hear the church bells, and enjoy the sunset in the background. Looking out towards the driveway from the home was also a field of solid yellow mustard grass that looked like a scene from a painting. Due to the cold weather, we were unable to enjoy the pool or dining outside as we would have normally done, although this would be quite lovely if you are fortunate to stay during a warmer week. The home felt very safe, despite being a bit remote and very old. We loved the moat that surrounded it which only added to the ambiance. Because the home is very old, we had to be and were understanding of some of the slight inconveniences that come with a home so s old that has original doors, hardware, etc. Martine, the owner, was as gracious and responsive as they come, and also quite helpful in making reservations during our stay for restaurants or providing travel tips. She also had some nice recommendations for places to visit or eat at, we enjoyed strolling in the charming towns such as Nancy and Troyes. We also enjoyed two days of champagne house tours. While this chateau sits in a very small town, and seemed so remote, there were thankfully still ample markets and restaurants not too far away, as well as larger towns only 20 minutes away. All the roads in this region were remarkably well paved, although at night, many of the roads in the area are not lit at all. Fortunately, it stayed light until later in the evening, and we were thankful that we could access google maps which helped tremendously. All in all, we had a lovely time and appreciate having the unique experience of staying in such a historic chateau that felt like being in a fairy tale. ”
