"I found the Chateau De detily Writers Retreat to be an amazing experience and a fantastic place to be absorbed by your thoughts and inspired to write."
-Philip Stephens-
"I would rate many more stars if there were:) our stay of 3 nights in the Chateau de Detilly was absolutely perfect."
-Cristina-
"Between the caring and professional hosts, the splendid and immaculately kept Chateau and garden not to mention the daily menus of fresh food and superb wines I am about to book a return trip. However added to this is the gentle giant, the Irish Wolfhound Ramsès who is part of the warm welcoming committee and last but not least is the daily critique for writers which I found extremely useful for my work."
- Marie-Louise Mills -
"I visited the château for a short retreat and loved every moment of it. The hosts were wonderful and so helpful. Very welcoming. The property and the grounds were beautiful. It was nice meeting new people there but also having plenty of time to myself. I can't wait to return one day soon"

Before Château de Détilly was built here, a Roman villa occupied the land. The foundations of the villa are buried under the grounds.
The rose garden at Château de Détilly is the largest privately-owned one in the Loire Valley.
