Château Coliving

Terrible coworking experience.

first of all, the house is extremely run down. it's drafty. my shower the first night didn't drain properly (and they knew it when they gave me the room).

internet not consistent, especially in the rooms.

not safe. there are no locks on the doors for any of the rooms by the way - i learned when a random guy "accidentally" walked into my room one night at 2am. when i suggested that the staff add locks, they told me they deliberately removed the locks and i'd have to ask them why. when i never did - because i think any place where you are living with random strangers you should have locks - they thought i was overly hostile and too demanding of a place to stay. your decision whether it's worthwhile to stay in a place with strangers without locks, anon.

also, there are rats. i found out when they took and then returned my gummies with tooth marks in them.

this chateau was the local nazi headquarters for the area in wwii. they left a swastika downstairs that has not been painted over (though there is a painting hung over it).

your decision about what that means, dear reader.

We were not allowed to walk the grounds without booking a stay (update: one entry was open without any signs, nothing on google maps indicates this to be more private than other castles. as a warning to others dropping by castles based on google maps, a review of 1 star is in order)

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!

Magical oasis with pure nature, timeless elegance of 12th-century and farm-fresh food choices.

you will feel at home surrounded by friendly nomads, chateau is an ideal environment for both work and mental reset, offering a blend of retreat, creativity, awakening, and rejuvenation.

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

This place is a true digital nomad’s paradise. it’s gives such a unique co-living and co-working experience, that we visited 3 times already. wonderful community of lovely people. and nature around here’s amazing!

A digital nomad's paradise! a unique place for remote co-living and co-working. great, quiet nature around. the castle has an amazing vibe.

Living in a castle? check. surrounded by nature and deers? check. amazing community? double-check. at chateau coliving you can be sure to have a truly unique experience, including day trips to beaches & cultural sites, treasure hunts on the ground, game & movie nights, etc etc. :) i can highly recommend !!

It is hard to describe how magical this place is. it's a castle, to start with. but it's so much more than that. it's a community like no other.

The chateau is magical! i’ve been a working and traveling for over 2 years now and i’ve had the chance to visit a lot of colivings. chateau is probably the most special place i’ve been too. the area around is superb and it’s very easy to plan some nice day trips as well. i found myself very inspired there as the work flowed easily. thanks for hosting me and i will definitely be back as soon as possible 🥰

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.

We have been at the chateau with a large group of travelers and it's been a fantastic location, staff are so helpful and engaged. it's picture perfect in all ways!

This was an amazing coworking and coliving experience! i cannot recommend enough, and will be back! it's very well managed - the management team and community managers are definitely experienced and know what they're doing. and the diversity and quality of people that we got to meet there were top notch, my partner was even able to work long-term with 2 people on specific projects from our time there!

Amazing

Geweldige nostalgische locatie. heerlijk rustig met groen omgeven. niet voor kinderen. wel voor natuurgenieters. goede kamers, prima badkamer met ligbad. goed uitgeruste keuken.

A beautiful space, facilitated by wonderful hosts.

we stayed here for our first coliving experience and if other spaces are anything like this, i don't know why we would ever stop. i can't draw any comparisons to other colivings, but i know that we felt welcomed and integrated from our first day here.

it's in a rural location, so if you're looking for somewhere where you can stroll down the street to get a coffee and people-watch, this won't be right for you. there's plenty of interesting stuff nearby, but you'll need to have a car -- or ask the chateau team to arrange a trip to use one of the on-site cars. the rural situation, though, lends itself to a strong sense of community and connection. people spend a lot of time together (without it feeling cliquey), but there is so much room for everybody to have their own space that if you want to have a quiet day to yourself, it's easy.

couldn't recommend it more. :)

A dream coliving that became true

🏰 das château ist ein authentisches schloss aus dem 12. jahrhundert im herzen der normandie, das sehr visionär in einen coliving & coworking space verwandelt wurde.​ es ist einzigartiger ort, der mir für immer in erinnerung bleiben wird.
​
💥 es gibt überall schnelles wifi, einen riesengarten mit palmen, hängematten und grillstelle, 1 coworking space, 13 zimmer und 2 apartments. wir waren als familie in einem der apartments im herrenhaus aus dem 17. jahrhundert untergebracht, das sehr geräumig war.
​
❣️ direkt bei der ankunft wurden wir unglaublich freundlich begrüßt und haben gleich eine tour in und um das schloss bekommen. sofort ins auge fallen die storchennester auf dem dach, mit den störchen, die umherfliegen und wunderschön anzusehen sind.​
​
🌿 das château umgibt ganz viel wald und grüne wiesen, man spürt sofort eine ruhe und gleichzeitig den aristokratischen hauch dieser anlage.
​
👪 ​ jede woche wird gemeinsam mit den anderen colivern geplant. die coliver sind insgesamt ein junges, dynamisches publikum aus allen möglichen ländern (usa, brasilien, frankreich, deutschland, polen, italien, england etc.)

💘 wir hatten eine unglaublich schöne woche und ich kann einen aufenthalt im château von ganzem herzen weiterempfehlen!

Everything has been perfect. this is one of the best places i ever stayed and i wish i could stay longer. i’ve already booked a return trip. everyone is amazing, the rooms are big and beautiful, and honestly, it’s just the best all around. it’s been the most enormous privilege. a big thank you to the owners and the team. what a dream.

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 times

come for the castle-stay for the community.

Amazing place! one of the best coliving experience you can 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.

At some point it was so cool to live and work from a place like chateau coliving that i started feeling bad for my friends and colleagues and stopped mentioning it lol.

the place is awesome, rooms are big, beautiful, with a lot of light (even in normandy). the cowork space is huge.

there are many fun activities to do with an excellent community:

- real life among us? yeah!
- board games
- workshops
- community dinners, including excellent ultra-fresh seafood
- playing some videogames together
- movies
- many visits to beautiful villages and spots in the area
- all kinds of conversations!
- and many other things

i was in november and at the time of departure i was already booking for february and march.
my recommendation: come at least for a month :)

(i shouldn't actually post this, they are already getting fully booked after being opened for less than a year and it will be more difficult to book a room in the future. please forget everything i said, don't come, stay home)

What an amazing place. it's so peaceful, and everyone is so welcoming. i can't recommend this place enough. it exceeded my expectations and then some. i can't wait to go back!

What a place, what an experience! if you can work from remote, don't miss the opportunity to do it from here: a castle in normandy, with amazing human beings, nature, fun activities, shared meals and the perfect location to work without stress. i stayed there one week, but i wished i coud have stayed more. i'll be back!

This is a place that you'll a hard time leaving.

perfect atmosphere for remote workers and also comfortable and welcoming for families with young children.

will definitely come back!

Great place to stay - no matter if you are a digital nomad who is looking for a coworking / coliving place or if you wat to enjoy the quiet of nature while staying in a beautiful old castle doing nothing - this is the place to be. led by two amazing hosts, this place and the people i met will always stay in my memory! can highly recommend and wish to come back some time.

If you are a digital nomad looking to build lifelong friendships with others and live real and genuine experiences with beautiful humans, this is the perfect place for you. we stayed at the chateau for a week, and our only regret was not staying longer! it was such an incredible and welcoming environment with amazing events organized by jorge and gabe to make everyone feel at home. the next time we go, 3-4 weeks will definitely be our minimum for the stay! <3

Beautiful coliving surrounded by beautiful nature, super peaceful and well maintained, can't wait to go back!

Being at the chateau was so amazing.

Lovely people, beautiful building, amazing experience. this isn't a hotel, but an adventure. thank you for the experience.

Our stay at chateau de l’isle marie was delightful! living in a castle for two weeks was the highlight of our entire trip to france. located in a natural park normandy, the chateau is close to d-day beaches, many cute towns, and a short road trip to mont st michel. our bedroom and bathroom were very clean and comfortable. the common areas were very spacious and comfortable and we enjoyed spending time and joining in on fun activities with the other guests. we work remotely and the office space had very good wifi, and comfortable desks and chairs. jorge and gabe did an amazing job managing the chateau and creating a wonderful atmosphere and community among the co-livers. they were very attentive to our needs. highly recommend this place to any digital nomad!

Le cadre est magnifique, l’accueil superbe, les hôtes charmants…bref nous avons passé des moments inoubliables au château de l’isle marie.

Château coliving is incredible, full of amazing people, awesome hosts, great to work, but also to have fun and relax in a fantastic out of time environment.
always wanted to live the castle life for a while? this is the place!
we spent an amazing month here, thanks guys, we'll come back!

Fantastisch

Magnifique endroit perdu dans les marais

Superbe lieu

Staying at this lovely chateau was one of the highlights of our recent trip to france (we stayed here as a base for exploring normandy). we had such a peaceful and restorative stay. valentina and nicola are excellent hosts, and dinner was truly unforgettable!

Magique, féerique, hors du temps et reposant ! je descend toujours la dans la région - l accueil est chaleureux et discret - le rêve

À tester. super accueil

Super !!!!!

We spent 2 days at château de l’isle as we explored normandy. this was absolutely the highlight of our trip. the castle and surrounding buildings are incredible! each morning as i opened our beautiful windows i was stunned by the beauty and peacefulness of the property. absolutely beautiful!

Sfeervolle plek, met zeer gastvrije ontvangst

Een heel leuk verblijf in een historisch kasteel
· een zeer mooie locatie midden in de natuur. wij werden zeer vriendelijk ontvangen door de eigenaar, de managers waren op reis. het kasteel op zich kan inderdaad wat onderhoudswerken gebruiken. de kamers zijn zeer ruim en mooi ingericht en uitgerust met goede bedden.
men heeft goed geluisterd naar de beoordelingen want over het ontbijt hebben wij zeker geen klachten, alles was er ruim voldoende van hartig tot zoet.

Perfect place to stay, very nice owners and perfect breakfast.

Simplesmente perfeito

Heel vriendelijke gastheer en vrouw lekker ontbijt en hele mooie locatie

Super kasteel en heerlijke verzorging
en zeer goede hosts

Lieu authentique. se rapproche un peu plus d'une chambre d' hôtes que d'un hôtel mais dépaysement assuré!

Wonderful place, full of history, very cozy and at the same time very elegant. a true château experience. great service and amazing hosts!

Jolie et accueillant

Absolutely one of the finest places to stay in the normandy region. classic 12th century chateau continually upgraded through the years, amazing local history, management, and the breakfast is very nice before heading out for a day of exploration. this location is very reasonably priced and within easy driving distance of everything you could possibly want to see in the area. we had a fantastic time visiting with the gentleman who was taking care of the place and discussing local history. this is certainly not one to miss!

Très bien calme est ambiance intérieur château bon accueil

Great, gorgeous, lovely chateau! perfect for a weekend getaway, romantic escape or a family holiday. lovely grounds, like your own private park. horses over the fence, cows in the distance and deer wandering right up to the chateau.
couldn't ask for more welcoming & gracious hosts, there's a total feeling of peace and quiet here. go! enjoy!

Lieu atypique comme je les aime. l' endroit est magnifique, calme. les hôtes sont très sympathiques, passionnés et d'une grande disponibilité. les prestations sont d'un très bon niveau. une excellente découverte!!

Had a truly wonderful holiday here with the family. beautiful buildings, beautiful scenery and plenty to do in the area.

Posto incantevole e di grande interesse storico.
servizio puntuale e di buona qualità una esperienza assolutamente indimenticabile.

Wonderful atmosphere near quaint normany towns!

So much charm! lovely place. very friendly.

Bonne prestation et calme literie a revoir dans la chambre parentale de la suite

Wonderful, charming place owned by a familly that does their best to make your holidays unforgetable.

Gorgeous château with great history. from the vikings to the romans to wwii. the owner and manager are super friendly. the accommodations are magnificent and they also have a great breakfast. if you are visiting the area i would recommend you stay here.

Уникальная возможность побывать в гостях у владельцев замка, которые тщательно хронят историю своего семейного гнезда

Expérience parfaite

What an amazing place.
i just want to go back soon 🔜

An amazing place

Excelente lugar, magico, detenido en el tiempo, un castillo de casi 800 años, testigo de la historia de normandia. emmanuel muy agradable y atento. volveremos.

We stayed for 4 nights in a recent trip to normandy and were delighted with the accommodations. gillaume the manager is very helpful and a friendly expert on local attractions. breakfast was typical french continental every day and the location was peaceful and historic from 12 century origins to descriptions of parachutist landings nearby in 1944. would definitely stay there again.

Fantastic a truly beautiful place

Un endroit tres chaleureux un accueil personnalisé on se croirait a la maison a faire

Very friendly staff that speak english. family oriented and love to talk with patrons. very nice folks!

Accueil très chaleureux parc agréable chambre propre et petit déjeuner correct ambiance apaisante et relaxante

C'est un lieu magnifique et il est possible de s'y reposer le château est b&b

Magnifique lieu et dépaysement garanti, lieu très calme

Was für ein eindrucksvoller ort! schlossambiente wohin man blickt, schöne zimmer mit tollem ausblick. überaus nette und offene betreiber. wir haben uns so wohl gefühlt, dass wir gleich um eine nacht verlängert haben.

A truly unique experience in the beautiful normandy countryside. the chateau de l'isle marie has been in the owner's family for over 600 years and has only been open to guests for the past several years. we only stayed one night and wished we had stayed two. there was much more we wanted to see within a short distance.

the chateau is surrounded by lush fields that are flooded during the winter which creates the "island" around the property. the entire area is a protected natural preserve. staying here is so much different from a typical hotel. nights are quiet. no tv, no phones. in the evening, you sip wine, play cards or relax with a book before bed. breakfast was well laid-out and plentiful.

for history buffs, the chateau was a key german artillery strongpoint during the fight for control of the bridge at chef du pont nearby during the d-day landings. several building were heavily damaged or destroyed by u.s. artillery during the battle. ask to see the gis names written on the basement walls.

Super lieve mensen en zeer aangenaam verblijf en ben verliefd op de hond!👍😉

Très beau château. excellente réception.
n'hésitez pas séjourner dans cette demeure familiale. parfait pour découvrir la normandie et les plages du débarquement 😊.

Rooms are big! very nice hostapitality. host speaks very good english. best of all, they have the most funny dog i have ever seen, so cute and circle you around just to get you to play with him. love this castle hotel!

Fantastic host and room

Des hôtes à l écoute et un château splendide. ..

Superbe chateau, avec son grand domaine. reposant.

Sejour week end , pour les non frileux . 7 degres extérieur quasi idem dans la chambre . pas de chauffage ni de solution d'appoint. petit dej copieux , patrons sympathiques et accueillants

This chateau is amazing. the building, the history, and especially the people make it absolutely fantastic. we regularly travel to normandy, and we will always stay here. it is romantic and elegant, but at the same time, welcoming to our family of five (3 boys). i cannot say enough good things about this chateau.

“…un calme hors pair avant tout, une véritable demeure familiale sans ostentation mais avec un véritable patrimoine historique idéal pour se plonger au coeur de la vraie normandie…”
