    We were looking for somewhere to stay for a few days to relax.......and wow, we found somewhere special. This truly is a magnificent Chateau set in acres of vineyards. Philippe is fantastic, talking us through the history of the Chateau and vineyards. I'm not sure if it was just being in the moment, but the 2012 Chateau De Tournesol wine (red) was rather special. Philippe also provided us with some great recommendations for food and local site seeing. The rooms and bathrooms are vast, we had our own kitchen and lounge and the breakfast provided was plentiful with good variety. We've enjoyed Tournesol so much we're staying an extra night. Serene, peaceful, tranquil, extremely well kept......a must!!

    What a stunning Chateau, a complete dream and incredible stay! We stayed here for 3 nights after coming for a wedding in the South of France. This was the perfect stay after a busy few days! Perfect and peaceful with the most beautiful views from every direction. Philippe who welcomed us when we arrived was the perfect host and always happy to help. He gave us two amazing recommendation to eat for lunch and supper which both were superb. Definitely would recommend. Thanks again!

    Au coeur de la nature et des vignes. Nous avons passé 2 jours de séminaire et 2 nuits au château de Mazelieres, tout était parfait. Le châtelain est très sympa et à l'écoute. Mention spéciale pour le foie gras (et l'atelier pour apprendre à le préparer), les chambres immenses et le calme. Je recommande!
