A pleasing visit to a royal residence
Imagine receiving news from your parents that you have a French Baron for a long lost grand uncle and that he would be delighted to host you in a historic Chateau located at Villersexel, France before it is sold. And when you do decide to go, you will find out that the Chateau Villersexel is located deep in the French countryside and the drive there will be long but scenic. Immediately upon your arrival, you will be given a warm welcome by the Baron Potet himself and at once you find yourself at home- something about the Baron's character that is a combination of intelligence, charm, sense of humor and genuine kindness will make you feel glad that you decided to visit him and his family. You will be given a room that you picked and it will give you a majestic view of the lands around the chateau. The furniture inside the chateau is old but clean and comfortable. Decorations include treasured family memorabilia and an exotic collection of artifacts that have been collected all over the world. As you explore its surroundings, you'll notice that the nearby river, old wooden bridge, grassy meadows and quiet woods will add to your sense of belonging. By the time you leave, you will feel that you will miss the Baron, his hospitality and the Chateau itself because it seemed that you were really a part of his family... Of course, not all of us have French royal blood but a visit to Chateau Villersexel will certainly give you with that impression! A visit to this place is a must!!

The host was very friendly. Overall a treat for the kids. The negative was the fridge, kettle and plastic coke cups in the bathroom. A venue of such history and rich decorations can surely provide guests with proper mugs/tea cups and saucers for tea/coffee. With all the fireplaces in the castle, a lit fireplace will actually also be a positive as the rooms are quite cold. Also something to note regarding the google map on hotels.com - it takes you to a desolate location next to a cemetery. This is quite haunting for strangers in a country not speaking the local language....

Stay a night or three in a real live french castle
Lets get one thing straight. This is not a hotel, it is more a B&B inside a French Chateaux where the actual baron is your landlord. He will have your breakfast laid out for you in the adjoining room from his office, along the glorious, wing that has history dripping from every painting, room, piano, sculpture, chandelier, etc. The 700 year history, right up to the last century is jaw droppingly awesome and if you have time for the museum tour by the baronette, then take it!! The animals they have living in the grounds are amazing and you get to go up close to feed them as the deer lick your hands. Villersexel is a medieval town that hasnt changed in the last 300 years and is as beautiful as the chateaux and the Baron's family. I will be bringing the family back to stay next year so that they can feel part of French, living history and experience the animal park too.

Unique Experience
This is a unique and a once in a lifetime experience but you have to tradeoff typical hotel facilities in exchange of feeling like a guest of the owner, Baron Jean Pierre Potet, wife Corrine aand 2 kids, whose family has owned the property, 40,000 square feet of castle on 70 acres, for 400 years. If you are willing to carry your own bags to your room, no TV, handheld shower, no restaurant in the castle and only breakfast, although a gourmet one 5 minutes away, it is like being invited to a museum by the owner. Take a tour of the castle guided by the owner and you will admire 400 year old art, a piano played by Chopin, 400 hundred year old gobellinos, etc. Read a book in one of the various sitting rooms. Wallk ( or drive ) the grounds and you will have the oportunity to see a camel, a llama, a beautiful river, etc. If you really want to feel how it was to be a guest in a castle, this is it. I recommende a 2 to 3 night stay.

A unique experience
The castle is very pretty and well worth a visit. The baron is as unique as the castle. We loved it, but if you are seeking comfort and luxury, this is not the place.

Amazing
The chateau is an amazing building. The Baron let us look around at all the rooms we chose to see. The only concern was that we did not realize breakfast was extra! Overall beautiful and wonderful.

Meget smukt slot der ligger isoleret, men stadig inde i byen. Stedet har en spændende historie. Der er forsøgt at genskabe stedet med de historiske møbler, men desværre for stedets ånd, er der sneget sig "moderne" ting ind som Ikea knager, plast plantekasser, laminerede skilte på dørene. Det er synd og vi håber for stedet at de får midlerne til at holde den gamle stil.. Meget venligt personale. Poolen var lukket og krævede en ordentlig omgang vedligehold, selvom vi havde søgt udelukkende på et hotel med Pool. Der burde hotellet fjerne både det gamle billede af pool og søgefilteret på Pool, når man er uden for sæson. Chateau De Villersexel er et sted vi godt kunne finde på at komme tilbage til en senere dag.

Ein wunderschönes Schloß
Ein traumhaftes Ambiente in wundervoller Umgebung bei einer liebenswürdigen Familie. Man kann sich hervorragend die Beine im Park vertreten und sabere Luft tanken, wenn man lange hinterm Steuer saß. Der Tip zum Restaurant war auch goldrichtig und das französische Frühstück am Morgen war ein wunderbarer Abschluss eines wunderschönen Urlaubs in Frankreich.

Séjour à Villersexel
Hôtel surprenant - magnifique d'un côté - désuet de l'autre. On s'y attacherait mais les chambres ont vraiment besoin d'être rafraîchie ... du moins, les plafond doivent être repeint. très bon accueil, belle visite ... bref, un château et des propriétaires qui ont une âme. Dommage que ce soit si cher.

Prachtig kasteel, wel wat achterstallig onderhoud. Voor wie bereid is wat in te leveren in comfort van de badkamer maar in stijl wil overnachten: prachtig. De ontvangst door de "Marquis" en zijn vrouw is erg leuk, met als bonus een rondleiding door het kasteel. Zolang het nog kan aan te bevelen; het kasteel staat te koop...

Övernattning på slott när det är som allra bäst
Hotel värt en egen resa med adligt mottagande av Baronen själv, riklig historisk information, hjälp med bordsbokning på middagsrestaurang och utmärkt frukost i slottets privata del

A fun and very particular place
A fantastic experience, a real memory for the kids. We loved it but it is not for all- it is not luxurious but fun. It is more like being houseguests than staying at a hotel. Big rooms. Great and very personal breakfast! Beautiful exterior and a lot of history.

En oplevelse
Slottet er et levende museum, som man kan få lov til at opleve. Slotejeren tudser rundt og er lidt knotten over sin fremskredne alder og vil gerne sælge slottet. Morgenmaden får man i et mindre rum, sammen med de andre beboere af meget forskellig nationalitet m.v. 1-2 overnatninger er en god oplevelse, hvis man værdsætter en smuk bygning og smukke rum, med udsøgte detaljer - men ikke nyt og ikke moderne luksus.

Vie de chateau
Excellent accueil, les propriétaires sont vraiment très sympas et cultivés, aiment bien discuter. Cadre agréable, chambre très spacieuse et tranquille. Les pièces du chateau sont magnifiques. S'il n'y avait pas l'électricité on se sentirait comme en 1850 ! :-) Le petit déjeuner dans les appartements privés est copieux, croissants et pains ficelle frais du matin, beurre confitures, jambon, coupe de fraises, fruits frais, yaourt, jus d'orange, café thé... de quoi bien commencer la journée !
