Chateau de La Resle - Design Hotels

A Fantastic Hotel with lovely people, wonderful food by the chef Yaman and comfortable rooms. Stay more than one night, you will definitely not regret it in this quiet place. The rooms are beautifully furnished and the main building has many designer objects. And of course I would also like to mention the breakfast. Just like when you are invited to a friend's house.

This is a beautiful Chateau that is quite remote. There is breakfast available but no dinner. The gate and door are locked at night, and it is no small feat to get with both an electronic gate and old-fashioned keys. The pool is not heated after October 1 although it is a lovely pool. It is quite a long drive to have dinner or even to go to a grocery store.

Thank you Johan and Pieter for the fabulous stay at the Chateau de Resle. The house, grounds and of course the pool are unique, beautifully furbished (clearly a life’s passion) with bucket loads of ambience and style. We stayed in the self contained Noyers apartment - fully kitted kitchen, lounge, dining and of course a sumptuous attic bedroom with en suite. Enough space to park the mountain bikes, and store the cases of Chablis. Throughly enjoyed the Saturday and Monday pool side dinners cooked by Johan, and the table banter with Pieter. The salt water lap pool and quiet pool side setting offer a much needed respite, especially if you have cycled to Chablis, walked the river at Arcy and visited the caves, brought honey at Pontigny Abbey, lunched in the medieval town of Noyers or ambled the back streets of Auxerre. You are top quartile hosts Johan and Pieter - nothing is too much trouble (even loaning us martini glasses for a cheeky pre dinner cocktail). Loved the continental style breakfasts, your scrambled and the wonderful warm, fresh bread. The chateau is a must for those passing Chablis - is on our repeat list. As my wife Gloria said at the time, simply spectacular !
