We are a group of 3 families that holiday together multiple times a year. For 5 years each summer we have hired a large house abroad which we all share. Being 6 adults and 8 teenage girls finding a property that suits our requirements is a real challenge... but Chateau D'Hambye ticked every box!!! A wonderful outdoor pool where the girls could swim and play, and adults could relax in the sun OR shade! the indoor pool for when the weather was a bit less sunny (and when it was)… great grounds to play boules and badminton of an evening while we cooked a BBQ and all ate together on the back terrace.
The house itself was AMAZING!! Felt like a Queen for a week with 8 princesses! Enough bathrooms and bedrooms for all with loads of space for everyone. the kitchen was a fabulous size and so well equipped we could cook any meal with everyone helping out and chipping in. The utility room was great for storing all the drinks so the chefs were not disturbed when the girls wanted to fill up juice bottles.
A beautiful evening was had playing pool, and games in the ground floor rooms, and with the French doors opening to the long grass driveway flanked by trees - you couldn't get a better view to play games with friends and family.
Going to bed at night in such grand rooms, and closing all the shutters for the girls was a wonderful treat at the end of the day.
The local boulangerie and patisserie was a stones throw from the chateau and the girls enjoyed walking up each day to get fresh bread and cakes, and there is a local store in the village too. Shops such as Lidl and casino are within a short cars drive away and so is a large, quiet, beautiful sandy beach .. with free parking!
We couldn't have had a more perfect week in a more perfect location/accommodation. In fact it was that amazing we have booked for next year too!
Rob and Anna are two of the most lovely hosts you could wish for. They are on hand if you need them and are a lovely couple. Hopefully next year we will have a drink or two with them too!
Highly recommended property for any occasion - especially if you want long life memories to treasure - we sure have!
