Château de Dissay, The Originals Collection

The le Château de Dissay Poitiers is an epic castle hotel that is set in extensive grounds. The room is quite large and stately, though dated. The views from the window onto the grounds and dry moat is fantastic. The public rooms of the hotel are superb and the large internal courtyard is excellent. The hotel is close to Poitiers making for a great out of town stay, All in all, an interesting chateau hotel well worth a stay.

Having read some scary reviews, we were a little worried - but it was not at all Fawlty Towers. The building itself is magnificent - it's definitely the tallest room I've ever slept in. The roses in the walkway - such a scent. The gardens have a well-tended, shabby-chic feel where you can see the grandeur of the original planting being colonised by nature. The menu is expensive but if you are at all foody, go for it. It was delicious. If you are more budget-orientated there's a bistro just outside the gates and another reasonable place by the station. It probably helps if you can speak French as not all staff were confident in English. I would have liked more info about the castle/hotel/facilities in the room just because I like stuff like that.

Newly settled in the region, my wife and I were looking for a romantic and exotic place, without the children, to spend an exceptional moment of love. When we arrived in Dissay, time seemed to stand still once we passed through the gates of the Château de Dissay, transporting us from the 21st century to the 15th century. However, make no mistake, the establishment has preserved the charm of the 15th century while offering rooms with refined decoration, elegantly combining the charm of the old with modernity. Upon our arrival, we were warmly and professionally welcomed by Carole, the Cinderella of the place. Upon waking, after spending a night in a five-star-worthy bed, what a delight it was to discover a breathtaking view of the splendid property. A true haven of peace that reflects the refinement of our hosts. The whole experience shows that beauty is not where you expect it to be, but that this place has the gift of surprising and seducing us simultaneously. The gourmet restaurant, for its part, deserves praise. We thank the chef as well as the warm and professional teams for their attentiveness. The cuisine, of great finesse, offers a menu and dishes worthy of a starred establishment. The dishes highlight homemade products, offering unique aromas and instinctive inspirations evoking flavors from elsewhere. I particularly recommend the desserts, not only for their exquisite taste but also for their presentation, worthy of a masterpiece painting. And if you are as lucky as we were, you will meet the owner of the place, a man who, although he does not have a title, certainly has the demeanor of a prince and a king. Our congratulations to our hosts. Natacha and Laurent HOUGUENADE.

Property is remarkable, but needs TLC. Staff were wonderful

The property needs a bit more care, something so simple as replacing the light bulbs in the dining room! The staff are always very kind.

Quiet and original The castle is beautiful, located in a charming little village. The room was clean, quiet, bed comfortable. It has a relatively small bathroom with small shower located in a corner. The toilets are separated to the right of the fire place. We did not eat at the restaurant because we were not hungry enough. The menu only offered expensive choices. No coffee machine or mini fridge in the room.
