Château De La Resle

Montigny-la-Resle

This is a beautiful Chateau that is quite remote. There is breakfast available but no dinner. The gate and door are locked at night, and it is no small feat to get with both an electronic gate and old-fashioned keys. The pool is not heated after October 1 although it is a lovely pool.
It is quite a long drive to have dinner or even to go to a grocery store.

Mixed experience.

We stayed at Chateau de la Resle for two nights en route to Italy.  It was extremely comfortable.  We were in Suite Vezelay and so had the swimming pool right outside our room, which was perfect.  We were looked after very well but a group of charming staffs and owners.  Breakfast was delicious.  The chateau and its grounds are beautiful.  We would love to return!

Beautiful place for a two night stopover!

We absolutely loved our stay at the gorgeous Chateau de la Resle. We stayed three nights for our 25th anniversary trip and were so glad we chose this amazing property - the highlight of our trip to Burgundy.  

We stayed in the Vezelay suite located immediately off the pool. The suite was beautiful and had everything we needed along with luxurious bedding, bath products, and a well-equipped kitchen. Every member of the staff we encountered was incredibly helpful, responding with enthusiasm for our every request.

Especially appreciated was the well-stocked honor bar with a broad selection of delicious wines, beers, and non-alcoholic beverages. Breakfasts were a delightful continental spread with made to order eggs and coffee.

Do not miss the Chateau's Art de Table on-site restaurant. Easily one of the best meals of our trip. Perfection.

The location is central to so many lovely towns, but also felt like a relaxing retreat. Very convenient to Auxerre, Chablis, and many interesting sites and villages. Also an easy drive from CDG.

Thank you so much for a wonderful stay. We can't wait to return one day , hopefully soon.

Highlight of our trip to Burgundy

Thank you Johan and Pieter for the fabulous stay at the Chateau de Resle. The house, grounds and of course the pool are  unique, beautifully  furbished (clearly a life’s passion) with bucket loads of ambience and style.  We stayed in the self contained Noyers apartment - fully kitted kitchen, lounge, dining and of course a sumptuous attic bedroom with en suite. Enough space to park the mountain bikes, and store the cases of Chablis. Throughly enjoyed the Saturday and Monday pool side dinners cooked by Johan, and the table banter with Pieter. The salt water lap pool and quiet pool side setting offer a much needed respite, especially if you have cycled to Chablis, walked the river at Arcy and visited the caves, brought honey at Pontigny Abbey, lunched in the medieval town of Noyers or ambled the back streets of Auxerre. You are top quartile hosts Johan and Pieter  - nothing is too much trouble (even loaning us martini glasses for a cheeky pre dinner cocktail). Loved the continental style breakfasts, your scrambled and the wonderful warm, fresh bread. The chateau is a must for those passing Chablis - is on our repeat list.  As my wife Gloria said at the time, simply spectacular !

Chateau de Resle -  a secret gem ! 

We spent a wonderful week at Chateau de la Resle in August. The warmth of the welcome, the uniformly high standard of accommodation, facilities and food, the kindness and cooperation of the owners and staff combined to make our stay a truly memorable, relaxing and totally enjoyable experience. 

Johan and Pieter have evolved a magical formula for Chateau de la Resle, and we are very grateful to Johan for his unfailing assistance and attention to our needs.

All of the staff were very professional and helpful, and Mathilde was especially helpful and considerate. 

In sum, a wonderful stay and we look forward to visiting Chateu de la Resle again.

Wonderful stay at Chateau de la Resle

Really a home! Johan, its host, incredible de amable Everything spectacular, the details, the attention, the furniture, the works of art, the landscape, the meal! He's been to incredible hotels but together with one in Menorca, it's my favorite memories.

It is excellent.

The stunning chateau will surprise you upon a closer look. Peter and Johan are avid art collectors and the chateau is exquisitely furnished with the most eclectic decor, art, and objects. Everything is super modern, clean, comfortable, and the pool is a perfect addition to relaxation while in Chablis. Their dinner offerings were really top notch too. Perhaps one of the best features of this stay was Johan’s huge smile, hospitality, and vast knowledge of the area. Definitely bike to Chablis on market day and enjoy all the delicious wines of this region. Loved it all!!

Beautiful Stay Near Chablis

We stayed at the chateau for a long weekend in July and used it as our base for exploring the Chablis wine region. The chateau is wonderful and had all the facilities we needed during our stay. We stayed in one of the rooms in the main house, which was lovely & spacious. The owners were also very friendly and helpful. 

We spent some time enjoying the pool each day and also ate at the chateau on two nights. The food was lovely and as there was only a pre-defined set menu to eat from for dinner, this actually meant we tried dishes we might not normally order in a restaurant. It was also nice to eat outside on the terrace by the pool. We ate out in Chablis at Fill Au Zinc one night as well, which was also a great experience. Breakfast again was very nice with a great selection of bread/cheese/fruit and choice of eggs cooked to order.

The hosts and staff could not do enough for us during our stay, and whilst it may not have all the facilities or services of a 5 star hotel, it certainly felt like a 5 star experience. The owners took time to talk to all the guests and offered advice on where was worth visiting in the local area.

We visited quite a few local villages in the area, including Chablis on market day. Definitely worth a trip if you want to pick up some local cheese/meat/bread/fruit. The local cherries were amazing! We also spent half a day exploring the vineyards on an e-bike tour that we rented from Chablis. Really great way to see the vineyards and allows you to stop off to do some wine tasting.

Definitely would love to return one day when next visiting the Burgandy region.

Beautiful boutique chateau close to Chablis

The rooms are beautifully decorated and comfortable. A lot of attention for the small details that make the stay special. Loved having breakfast outside in the beautiful garden. Above all Johan made us feel so welcome and so much at home

delightful

The Accommodation 

Close to Chablis, only 90 minutes from Paris, Château de la Resle, a member of “Design Hotels”, is a stunning destination for a few days in the French countryside.

The Château is more than a luxury hotel: hosts Pieter and Johan ensure that it is a “home away from home” experience with a private yet informal ethos.

The accommodation is stunning, whether staying in the poolside  Vezelay suites located in the old farm building, or as we did, in the expansive Saint Bris Suite-a short climb up a spiral staircase underneath the slate roof of the Château, with beautiful views on all sides. Our air conditioned suite had a spacious bedroom, separate living room, luxurious bathroom and fully equipped kitchen with comfortable furnishings, tasteful artwork and up to date technology; the Marshall Bluetooth speakers are fabulous! 

Food and Drink

The hosts have had years of experience in the food business, and their passion for quality cuisine with great ingredients and flavours is more than evident.

Breakfast is served every day in the former summer salon of the Château; a terrific selection of bread, pastries & home made patisserie. Eggs are prepared to order and cereals, honey and seasonal fruit are always available.

At lunchtimes, we headed to Chablis to buy a selection of wonderful French produce and then enjoyed an al fresco poolside sharing meal; freshly baked breads, charcuterie & cheese, olives & anchovies, crevettes & celeriac remoulade, the list of delicious treats goes on and on. But our personal favourite was the Salade du Pêcheur, a creamy potato salad with chunks of tuna and black olives.

On Sunday we attended the regular weekly market-a gastronomic assault on the senses. Quite simply an incredible foodie paradise, and we bought some fragrant Poivre Sauvage which was rich with aniseed notes, from Tsarazara Chantale of “Vanilla Sava”, to bring home. 

Each evening, we enjoyed dinner poolside  from the Restaurant Art De Table in the old Château farm. Using organic and seasonal herbs, vegetables, meat and seafood, everything is locally sourced and prepared freshly on site. We sampled the Saturday Gastronomic dinner, the Sunday Super Food selection, and we had the pleasure of our hosts joining us on Monday evening for Burgundy cuisine. All dishes were beautifully prepared and presented, and absolutely delicious. 

The Artwork 

Although Château de la Resle is renowned for its boutique hotel luxury, the charm, personality and unique style of this well-loved private home is enhanced by Johan and Pieter’s personal collection of contemporary art and design. 

Oozing good taste, this extraordinary collection attracts fellow connoisseurs from around the world. The hosts have been acquiring beautiful, contemporary pieces for many years, and every corner of the ivy-wrapped château, including the nine elegant rooms and suites, showcase these exclusive artworks. It was a pleasure and privilege to share, experience, and enjoy this outstanding collection.

Jean-Marc Brocard Domaine

We spent an idyllic morning exploring the Domaine Jean-Marc Brocard located in the vineyards, on top of a hill, near the 15th century St. Claire church. The wine tour is a must during a stay in Chablis. The panorama of the entire vineyard is stunning and Sebastian’s cellar tour was fascinating. 

And as for the wine? The tasting experience was informal, informative and we were treated to seven exceptional wines from the vineyard, accompanied by delicious quiches and Gougères.

We couldn’t resist buying a bottle of The Chablis Grand Cru Blanchots, from grapes which take root on a very steep slope, catching the early morning sun, a unique characteristic which results in a powerful wine with an equally unique attack on the palate. Very mineral in style, this harmonious wine is buttery, with toasted salty, floral notes. 

Noyers-sur-Serein

In the heart of Burgundy, the Medieval city of Noyers-sur-Serein, classified among the "Most Beautiful Villages of France", combines remarkable architectural heritage with the pleasures of a living city. 

There are half-timbered houses, ashlars, pillars and pinnacles. There are a lot of lanes and small squares made of chalk and granite pavements, and the river Serein twists and turns through this pretty fairytale town. Noyers is a magical place where modernism and naïve art can be found juxtaposed with beautiful Medieval architecture.
