Brimming with character, this building recently underwent extensive conversion work and the result is very successful. The orangery has been transformed into a bright kitchen opening out onto the grounds and leading out onto a summer kitchen area. The suites and bedrooms have been tastefully and individually decorated and almost all feature en suite bathrooms or shower rooms. This prestigious property elegantly combines period features such as gargoyles and other quaint figures with a more contemporary decorative scheme. For optimal comfort, the tennis court has been joined by an attractive swimming pool located to the south at the foot of the turret.
Sufficiently spacious but not excessively so, Un Château de Rêve offers a range of different, cosy atmospheres including a reading room or billiards room, etc., and has a very warm and welcoming feel to it.
For maximum pleasure you can practice golf nearby (with three greens in a 15 km radius), head for the beaches at Pornichet or explore the well-known coastal resort of La Baule around 40 km away. Don't miss this opportunity to discover the rich and diverse tourist attractions of Nantes, a "town of art and history" including the Château des Ducs de Bretagne or"Les Machines de L’île". Also situated nearby, we find the Grande Brière marshes, the mediaeval town of Guérande and the salt marshes which are well worth visiting.
Un Château de rêve can comfortably accommodate up to four families with children or around twelve adults.

August 2024 / One-week stay: "We had a fantastic time at Chateau de Reve and will certainly book through ChicVillas again."
Jennifer P. (UK), 08/08/2023
July 2023 / One week stay / Second stay: "We had an excellent stay at the chateau, and I do hope to book again sometime."
Julie R. (UK), 09/09/2022
August 2022 / One week stay : " The chateau was wonderful and we had a fantastic time. Thank you for all the help arranging our stay."
Nick M. (UK), 09/09/2022
July 2022 / One week stay : "Could I just say how much I have enjoyed working with you and I am sorry we did not have the chance to meet while we were at the chateau. Our stay was a great success, enjoyed enormously by everyone. The pool and tennis court were used on a daily basis. The family cycled, ran, played badminton, volleyball and participated in mini-Olympics. They all took turns in preparing meals, one trying to outdo another."
Geoffrey T. (UK), 12/08/2022
July 2022 / One week stay : "We arrived at 4pm on a glorious day and drove up the kilometre long drive to the bridge and gatehouse when the huge chateau came into view : Wow, what a moment ! It was just my wife and I together with one son and his family. All of us could not speak, the chateau was magnificent in the sunshine. The photographs on your website does not do it justice! A couple of hours later, our second son drove their car onto the gravel drive having flown from Vietnam and, again, they were speechless and could not believe the whole chateau was just for us. Our third and fourth sons and family were flying over from Bristol together but not leaving until 8.00pm so we were busy whatsapping them to tell them how good the chateau was ! Both families arrived just before midnight. We put all the outside lights on just before they arrived and, on their arrival, they stopped at the gatehouse to marvel at the illuminated chateau. What a beginning ! Everything we needed was in situ and we had the most wonderful time with our children and grandchildren. We also spent time at the wakepark and swimming lake close to the chateau and at the beach about 45 minutes away. Time was spent in Nantes and croissants and pain au raisin ordered most days from the local boulangerie. We even took everyone to creperie nearby one evening, overlooking the Loire Valley in an old cider press farm house, so French and so good! It was with great sadness to leave the following Saturday and our youngest grandchild (5) apparently cried all the way down the drive as he wanted to stay with his older cousins at the chateau. Thank you once again in helping making this holiday truly memorable for us all, it is something none of us will forget especially as the older grandchildren will soon be leaving school and we cannot foresee all 19 of us being together at the same time for many years to come. A huge thank you to Chicvillas in replying promptly to all our enquiries and giving us so much information which was so useful."
Jennifer, UK, 21/08/2020
July 2020, one week stay : "Our large family spanning three generations (12 adults,10 children) had a wonderful week at the Chateau de Reve. The chateau is beautiful - un Chateau de Reve indeed! The accommodation suited us perfectly, large rooms, excellent washing facilities, and a well-equipped, capacious kitchen where many cooks could work ensemble. We were able to eat all our meals together at the long outdoor table by the barbecue. Both the swimming pool and tennis court were in constant use, and the huge quadrangle in front of the chateau hosted many games of cricket and rounders as well as Scottish reels. The team at Chicvillas and the local caretakers were most helpful. For us it was a week to remember, and we hope to return one day."
Astrid V. (Allemagne, Germany), 17/09/2019
Two weeks stay / August 2019 / "We spent a two-week family holiday in August with a varying number of people (7 to 15) and were all very enthusiastic about the equipment and the quiet surroundings of the castle. Despite the successful modernizations, the history of the complex is clearly noticeable and both sides are very attractive. The proximity to the wonderful city of Nantes with airport and TGV connection makes the journey easy and the wonderful (for the season relatively empty) beaches in the south are also fast to reach."
Rob M. (USA), 07/08/2019
One week stay / July 2019 / "We had an amazing time! Thank you for all. We look forward to using your services again in the future."
Nicolas D. (France), 23/11/2018

Albert H. (USA), 30/07/2018
"We had a wonderful stay at "Un Chateau de Reve" and could sense all the great history of the grounds and house. Our family had great fun playing ping pong, soccer and tennis, along with touring all the fabulous towns, cities, art and beaches in close proximity. The house is well situated, within a 15 minute drive to the highway and a large E.Leclerc. Thank you to the owners for sharing their wonderful home".
Hannah B. (UK), 22/08/2016
