Chateau de Moison, Domaine Eco Nature

My husband and I had a wonderful time at Chateau de Moison! It's a gorgeous property and well-maintained with a lot of historic charm. Be sure to screenshot his directions, our GPS stopped working in this lovely but remote location. We stayed in the blue suite which is on the top floor and had views all around the chateau - it's also a massive room! The bathroom was modern and everything very clean. We opted for happy hour (simply gets added to your bill, easy) in their beautifully decorated living room and enjoyed hearing stories from Bruno, who is a local historian and very knowledgeable about the region and wine. He gives a nice toast to how Americans have "saved the French!" more than one time. We had dinner at Bruno and Mary Ann's table both nights and it was delicious!! She cooks fresh from their garden and easily accommodated my pescatarian palate. They do not join you for dinner. Breakfast in the morning was coffee and freshly baked breads from the local bakery, scrumptious! It's about a 30 minute drive to a restaurant so be prepared to either eat at the chateau or build in driving time. We picked this spot to spend a whole day wine tasting and learning about the many surrounding vineyards in the Loire Valley and Sancerre region with Laure Juvet who is an excellent wine tour guide with Vini Tour (in English of course) - LOVED her and highly recommend this!! / she picked us up/dropped us off at the Chateau and is friendly with Bruno. We brought along a wine suitcase and brought a case of our dozen favorites home. Stay here for a night or several days, and enjoy this authentic French chateau! Thank you for making our stay so special.

Le château a été complètement et minutieusement restauré par les propriétaires , aménagé et décoré par leur fille. On s‘y sent immédiatement à l‘aise : ni salle de sport ou de conférence, juste quelques chambres charmantes donnant sur un parc et des arbres centenaires. Le dîner est simple mais raffiné , il est préparé par Madame et servi par Monsieur sur la terrasse en été. La carte des vins est bien élaborée et les conseils de Monsieur précieux pour faire un choix. Depuis Ivoy on part facilement visiter Bourges ou déguster du Sancerre chez les viticulteurs de la région. Excellent rapport qualité-prix. Notre chambre avait une douchette dans la baignoire. D’autres chambres ont heureusement une douche plus accessible. En résumé, cette étape dans un domaine éco-nature nous a comblés.
