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.
Château Coliving will forever have a special place in my heart and I consider it my European home. The grounds are beautiful, the buildings are stunning but the truly magical part about this place is it’s ability to turn strangers into family. I had an amazing experience there, extended my stay multiple times and am already planning another visit.This place has everything you could want and more- great coworking space- stunning rooms- cozy fireplace- quiet nooks to work or nap- lush grounds to explore- big kitchen that is perfect for family dinners and Sunday morning crepes- fun activities and games in the château- local experiences (highly recommend Juno Beach)- endless laughs and good timesCome for the castle-Stay for the community.
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.
