This is a truly wonderful place to stay – a stunning castle with beautiful rooms and dreamy shared spaces, but most importantly a real sense of community and friendship. My time there included hikes, bike rides, communal feasts, yoga, and even a murder mystery, while still managing to get my work done!This was my first coliving experience and I loved it. I'll definitely be trying more – including a return to the chateau before too long!

This is such an amazing place! From the historical building, to the scenic surroundings, and the awesome community, I thoroughly enjoyed my 6-weeks stay. Among all of the highlights, the most memorable was the sense of belonging. Staying in the Château was like spending holidays with good friends and was as far from a traditional hotel experience as I could dream of. Katia and Emmanuel are wonderful people. I feel like they understand the nomad lifestyle and needs better than anyone. I think they should run a school for other hosts starting their own colivings

We had an unforgettable time at this co-living/co-working Castle. Katia is so sweet and accommodating. We are a family with kids and stayed in the Manor apartment. It had everything we needed and was very comfortable. We stayed for a month. The Manor/Castle was so homey, it felt like we were just staying at Kaita's home. We felt so honored to stay in a place with such a rich history. We are thankful that Katia and her husband have opened up their family home for others to enjoy.

I had an absolutely incredible stay this month at the chateau. I leave today feeling like I’m leaving family.The hosts were really wonderful, the room I stayed in (Burgas) is out of a dream and the chateau and the grounds make you feel like you’re living out of time (but with wifi in every room).I’m already thinking about my return trip later this year.
