Physically, Chateau Mirande, set in well maintained gardens, is most attractive having been restored with great care and attention to detail. We stayed in the garden apartment which was ideal for us as we prefer to self-cater. However, it is the gracious and warm hospitality of Nina and Matthias that enhances the beauty of this place. With their guidance, we were able to add such dimension to our stay: every day, we had new and insightful excursions that they detailed for us. We will certainly remember our stay at Chateau Mirande, albeit far too brief and a good reason to return.
