History:
In the Middle Ages the castle of Mavaleix was a fortress, built to protect the forges that were along the lenght of the small river 'La Valouze', against invasion from the occupying neighbours. The forges were vital as they produced weapons, instruments, keys and locks necessary for the nobility. The castle was, at the same time, the residence of certain "Master Ironsmith" who often acquired a noble title.
One of these illustrious residents was Nicolas-Emile Grenouillet of Mavaleix. This Master of the Forge, well liked within his entourage, was the mayor of the community of Chalais for several years. His imposing tomb, dating of the end of the 19th century, can be found hidden in the woods of the castle. This monument can be still be visited today, although his remains have been transferred to the cemetery of Chalais where one can admire a copy of his tomb.

«Castle Apartment in Chaleix by Forest» achieves a holiday rating of 4.3 (rating scale: 1 to 5) at 96 submitted reviews.
Van vissen tot zwemmen, rusten. En natuurlijk de vele bezienswaardigheden in de streek, kortom alles wat een vakantie moet zijn.
Er is genoeg slaapplek voor 9 mensen en de bedden liggen heerlijk!! maar met een tafel model koelkast konden wij met 4 man uit de voeten maar voor 9 mensen zal het wat aan de kleine kant zijn. Bij aankomst was het even zoeken naar iemand die kon helpen omdat er niemand in het restaurant aanwezig was en het niet duidelijk was waar je je dan moest melden.
De eigenaars zijn erg aardig en behulpzaam. Voor kinderen is dit een prima plek met een omheind zwembad, trampoline, schommels en tennis en jeu de boule baan. Er heerste een ontspannen sfeer en de kinderen hadden snel vriendjes gemaakt en hebben heerlijk hun gang kunnen gaan op het landgoed.
Het restaurant was ook fijn en de sushi was heerlijk!
Prima plek om met kinderen een ontspannen vakantie te hebben.
We hebben de gite betrokken met twee gezinnen met in totaal vijf kinderen (2 tot 6 jaar). We vonden er alles wat nodig is, al zou de frigo wel wat groter mogen zijn. Aangezien het schitterend weer was, hebben we vooral genoten van de prachtige tuin en het (gelukkig omheinde) zwembad. Ook de speeltuigen (schommel, wip, trampoline) vielen in de smaak bij de kindjes, al zouden die misschien eens opgefrist kunnen worden. Toen de kindjes in bed zaten, konden we genieten van de keuken van het hotel vanaf het terras heb je zicht op de gite en de babyfoons reiken ver genoeg. Dat was voor ons echt genieten voeten onder tafel, wijntje erbij, heerlijk eten en gezellig praten ... Een ervaring die je in niet veel vakantiehuizen kan vinden!
Zwembad was niet geheel schoon, maar wel goed afgeschermd.
De hele entourage, het zwembad en het restaurant (waar we 5 keer hebben gegeten) waren goed en onze hond had enrom veel vrijheid op het open terrein. Kortom, wij hebben een er een leuke tijd gehad.
We waren erg gastvrij ontvangen en de sfeer op het hele complex was erg prettig. Erg mooi kasteel met overal leuke dingen om te zien en te doen. Ontbijt was lekker en prettig in overleg af te stemmen wanneer het beste uit kwam. Mooi groot zwembad en verschillende plekken om te ontspannen in en uit de zon. Wij waren er zelf met een hondje en deze was hier meer dan welkom, erg prettig om te ervaren. De voorzieningen in de buurt zijn voornamelijk met de auto binnen paar minuten te bereiken, lopen circa 30 minuten. Binnen een straal van circa 60 minuten rijden zijn er veel leuke dorpjes en stadjes om te bezoeken.
Kortom heerlijke tijd gehad en ook zeker een aanrader om in het kasteel te eten, een van onze betere diners van de week!
