You will find below testimonials from previous groups (we have many more but it would be too long to feature them all !).

Bear in mind that there are several hotels named “Chateau de Varennes” or Varenne in France thus the trip advisor reviews that you can see for Varennes-Sauveterre or Varenne-Jarcy or Varennes-le-grand are not related to us.

Please feel free to request references. We can provide you  contact details of previous guests from all over the world ! We can accommodate all cultures and type of food (on top of French/Western food, our chef is able to cater in a fusion, Indian, Asian, Latin American and African style)

We are also hosting many corporate events and a most of them are coming back every year since we opened (this loyalty must be a sign that the food is good^). You can also check more recent wedding pictures/videos/press articles on our Facebook page as we do not have much time to update our blog here.

And we are proud to have 4.9 out of 5 with 123 Facebook reviews^^

(Anna)

* Thank you so much for all your efforts. The wedding was more than perfect. Every day was unique and you worked so hard to make it all go so smoothly.

I absolutely adored the lanterns, the fireworks were outstanding, the wine tasting and tour of the environs was beautiful, the flowers and the decoration of the chapel were exquisite, as was the food! The wedding menu was brilliant, all the food was visually beautiful and the tastes were divine. The barbecue, breakfasts, brunch all superb and the wines exceptional as was the champagne.

Thank you for your attention to detail and for your unrelenting kindness. Your staff are well chosen and they too performed all duties with kindness and always with smiles!

We have no regrets apart from the fact that it is now a memory but you helped to give us some of the best memories of our life. Thank you.

We are planning to return for a reunion and we will certainly return for our daughter Alexandra’s wedding ! Thank you for everything. Best wishes always, (bride’s mother, wedding, September 2012)

* Clare’s holiday week (Summer 2012, Guernesey islands) : Just a quick email to thank you and all your staff for the most wonderful week at Chateau de Varennes. It was truly one of the most outstanding holidays for us all. I will be in touch about next year. Regards. Clare

* George’s holiday week (Summer 2012, USA) : Thank you for an incredible week in  this exceptional place. The surrounding area is charming and full of lovely day trips. Of course the wine of the region was outstanding. We had a great opportunity to relax and unwind, the staff was most kind and the resident chef was terrific (as good as a Michelin star chef).

* Sarah’s holiday week (Summer 2012, UK) : Our stay at your lovely chateau was truly memorable. The house has a wonderful atmosphere and the beds were so comfortable and all the bedrooms and bathrooms really lovely and luxurious. The children had the holiday of a lifetime…..they never stopped talking and playing from the moment they arrived! I think, should we come again which we find very tempting, we would employ the chef for both meals. I would like to say again on behalf of the whole family that it was a truly wonderful holiday from which we savour many many happy memories. With warmest wishes from us both, Bernard and Sarah (holiday group, Summer 2012, came back in Summer 2013)

You truly have an amazing place, it’s incredibly special. We leave tomorrow for our honeymoon. Thank you again, we will never forget this weekend!

* Nasim & Shek’s wedding (June 2012, Iran/Ivory Coast/USA) : We chose the Chateau de Varennes because the place is magical. It is beautifully renovated with the perfect balance between old and new. Also, we chose the Chateau because the owners, Sonia and Aymeric, made us and all of our guests staying there feel so comfortable. We had the luxuries of a perfect life – huge grounds, pool, trampoline, private chef – and the warmth of feeling at home.(testimonial as featured in the famous blog junebugweddings)
