“We just returned from our second stay at Maison du Val, and once again, it was absolutely amazing—we didn’t want to leave! It’s such a perfect escape from the city, and the best part is that it’s so easy to get to from central Paris. Just a quick ride on the RER A, and within an hour you’re surrounded by the most stunning grounds, far away from the hustle and bustle of the city. The setting is absolutely breathtaking. The lush greenery and beautiful landscape make you feel like you’re in the countryside, even though Paris is so close by. Whether you’re exploring the grounds or just relaxing, it’s a stunning place to unwind. One of the highlights for us was the Sunday brunch—it’s simply incredible! The variety and quality of the food were top-notch, and it really felt like a special experience. We could’ve stayed at the table for hours just enjoying the delicious offerings. For families, Maison du Val is a dream. The kids’ club and activities kept our little ones entertained the whole weekend. They had a blast with all the fun things to do, and it gave us adults some much-needed downtime to enjoy the other amenities. Speaking of which, there’s so much to do! The game rooms, cinema, and Nordic bath were huge hits for us, and all these free facilities really make the stay interesting and packed with activities. Whether you want to relax or keep busy, there’s something for everyone. As for the rooms, they’re not overly luxurious, but they’re comfortable and have everything you need for a relaxing stay. Given all the other amazing aspects of the hotel, the rooms were perfectly fine for us. All in all, Maison du Val continues to be one of our favorite weekend getaways. We can’t wait to return again and enjoy everything it has to offer! Highly recommend for anyone looking for a peaceful retreat close to Paris.”
“Our place to go when we need a family lunch. Highly recommended and great value for money!”
“This is the perfect hotel for families as well as couples. It's tranquility is sublime and you even have the option to sleep in a high quality tree-tent if you want to watch the stars. The staff did their utmost to make our stay perfect right from the receptionist to the chef who made fantastic meals for us. They said we should just feel at home, which we easily did. We highly recommend this castle for anyone with the love of nature, beauty and silence.”
“Overall amazing! My wife and I spent a week end there last week with our daughter. She is 7, and this place is truly amazing. It’s an all inclusive place. There are 3 buffet meals, plus 1 snack around 4pm, every single item is home made, dishes, cakes, macarons, crepes, even the chocolate spread made by a pastry chef. The alcohol is on open bar, and there is also non alcoholic. The concierge Francois and the manager Sara are looking after you at any time of the day and night thank you to them. There are outdoor games, table tennis, football, hot tubs, trampoline, lovely little bicycle carts ( Rosalies) and you are at the gate of a forest , there is no sound, it’s quiet, family friendly. It feels like the best week end of the end of the vacation with family, when there is tension because everyone seizes the moment knowing it won’t last. The kids clubs is great, there is also a pool table, baby foot, flipper, and home cinema. The rooms are honestly so-so, but you truly pay not to spend a minute inside. The showers are a bit depressing. But it’s all fine, because it’s so peaceful and you rest so well there ! Thank you, we will see each other again !!”
“FABULOUS. We haven't gone back since a year or two and were pleasantly surprised that service & food are still 5 stars. My husband who can't eat meat had quite a variety of salads. Appreciated having a fish option in all meals. We had only planned to stay 1 night but ended up extending. If there was sauna and some basic gym equipment, we probably would've stayed even longer :)”
