Dear Christophe & Sylvia,
The englishman says : My home is my castle. But for us the castle was our home, for a week. And what a week ! Nice weather, wonderful surroundings and a warm welcome. We are a family of 15 persons : grandma, grandpa, six adults and seven kids. We enjoyed our stay in Mercurey, never a dull moment. Thanks a lot, merci beaucoup.
Everything about our stay at Mercurey Castle was outstanding. We misjudged the time to get from Paris to Mercurey, but Christophe still waited an additional 2 hours for us to give us a personal tour and welcome (including local wine). The Castle is incredible; luxurious, yet still very comfortable. The location right next to the town makes it ideal to conveniently walk to buy food at the local markets or try some great local restaurants or try some of the very good local wine. I have enthusiastically recommended both Mercurey Castle and Christophe to everyone I come in contact with.
Thanks again
Dear Christophe,
Thank you so much for your wonderful welcome when we arrived. We have loved staying in your villa and you seem to have thought of everything to make our stay here comfortable. The house has been beautifully restored with a lovely attention to detail and so many activities to keep us all occupied.
Thank you very much.
Merci pour tout ! Nous sommes 16 amis des Etats Unis et c’est comme si nous avions une maison en France..ici au Château de Mercurey !
Let the sunshine on others, as it shined on us during our stay. Wonderful, glorious, happiness, wine, song, love.
Merci, Merci, Merci. C’est Perfect ! Chef thomas était merveilleux, j’espère que je retourne !
Met 15 mensen : Vader, moeder, kinderen en 7 kleinkinderen hadden we een fantastishe week. Waar het weer wat minder was bood het kasteel alle mogelijkheden.
We gaan elke jaar op “gezinsvakantie” en dit was de mooiste locatie tot nu toe !
Merci !
Dear Christophe and Sylvia,
As a very close group of four couples we meet each other since 37 years several times a year. The last 10 years we go for a week or so to a nice place for a holiday together. We visited many places in several countries. This time we were fortunate to be at Villa Saunières. The villa is perfect, the surroundings are beautiful, the wine was excellent. Although the weather did not cooperate, we enjoyed our stay, not in the least because we were advised by you properly about which places we should visit...and of course the wine tasting visit at your house was a highlight of last week. Thank you for making our stay unforgettable.
Dear Christophe,
Thank you for making our stay so comfortable! Your staff has been really friendly & helpful to us! We concur with the above- we enjoyed meeting you Christophe + hearing about your love of wine. We all love France, the people are so welcoming, especially in this area. We recommend the market in Verdun, it was "true France".
Nous venons de passer une semaine de pur bonheur dans ce cadre enchanteur. Bravo pour la décoration choisie avec goût, et les rajouts, que nous avons appréciés lors de cette deuxième édition. Petits et grands ont adoré passer de nombreuses heures dans la belle piscine, jouer à cache-cache dans le merveilleux parc et discuter à bâtons rompus dans les différentes pièces, toutes dignes d'un château. Nous y reviendrons avec grand plaisir pour une 3ème édition. Merci infiniment.
What a wonderful week we have had here at Château de Mercurey. Magnificient weather, enjoyed sampling the amazing Bourgogne wines and fabulous produce. We have enjoyed the pool, petanque, table tennis & billiards and have had the most amazing summer holiday. We will miss the birds of France and cant wait to return again soon !
Dear Christophe,
We very much appreciated the lovely villa experience you have created. The location is perfect and the amenities are perfect as well. All your recommendations we found of interest. Of course the wine tasting you conducted was the best. We learned so much about the wines of Burgundy. Thank you.
