Chateau de La Goujonnerie

Outststanding Chateau in the heart of Vendee We have been 'Chateau' travelers for 42 years. I cannot count the number of establishments visited. Ch Goujonnerie is 'THE' most charming Chateau we have had the priviledge to stay. It was exceptionally difficult to say goodbye after 5 nights. Isabella, Natalie AND Stephen and Michel were the most charming hosts. We will never forget their care to guests. We look forward to returning again and is a great place for a base camp if you want to visit La Rochell or Il de Re or so many other places along the sea and throughout Vendee. They also offer Gites that some may prefer.

What a lovely welcome to this Chateau. Quirky, yet magical.Only wish the stay had been longer. The swimming pool was magnificent, and the rooms matched the whole ambience of the chateau. We WILL return. Our sincere thanks to Stefan and Bella.

What a stunning building, great location and so much to look at. The rooms were stunning, the pool was fab, Stefan and Ali were so accommodating with all our needs. Breakfast was delightful and I will definitely return. Just fantastic from start to finish.

An unplanned overnight stay that completely salvaged a horrific first day of our breakdown ridden drive to Portugal. From an hour away we called Stefan who squeezed us into the last available room in the Chateau and planned our evening (time to swim, shower and arrive at a wonderful local restaurant before final order cut off). This is a wonderful place to stay with lots of open space to do what you wish - play with children / dogs, pétanque, swim in the heated pool, sit and admire the unending view. Breakfast is a buffet with breads, fresh croissants / pain au chocolat, boiled eggs along with cereals and yoghurts in one of two dining rooms with large communal tables. The setting is beautiful. Easy to find when you know how - if the village church (100m away) is on your left you have driven past it. If it’s on your right, look left and find the stone wall, slow down and go past the first closed gate and pull in where the wall becomes conifer hedging. Press the buzzer for the large black iron gates to be opened for you. It’s worth coming down the driveway at night for the enchanting lighting display. This was a one hour diversion for us and totally worth it. Can’t wait to return for a longer weekend break.
