A Night of Medieval Magic

FROM AMIT'S VIEWPOINT

It was simply breathtaking. The entire chateau was composed of two towers connected with the entryway between them. The rest of the chateau was behind the wall. There were a total of only 12 or so rooms in the chateau, serviced by a handful of staff. The outside of the chateau had a couple of bicycles just waiting to be used, a pond and a swing. Our room happened to be in one of the towers, so it was round on the inside with a bath and a stand up shower. It was lavishly furnished with tables, a TV and a queen sized bed. We took a quick nap and went down for dinner. 

We had a glass of champagne in the sitting room and ordered dinner and a bottle of wine. After sitting and chatting for a bit, the waitress ( a delightful lady from the UK) informed us that our dinner was ready and asked if we were ready to be seated at the table. We both ordered a 4 course meal. Each course was an event and came out beautifully arranged on the plate. It contained several flavors in each bite. absouluotely amazing!

FROM ANJALI'S VIEWPOINT

We arrived at the Chateau in the early afternoon, after a beautiful drive through the countryside.  Upon arrival, we were greeted at the front desk by Holger, the manager.  He welcomed us by taking us on a tour of the grounds...the pool, gardens, living room, then showed us to our room in the tower.  It was decadent.  We relaxed in the room for a bit before venturing out into the gardens for a walk.  The gardens were lovely - a swing, a pond, trees, flowers...it was beautiful and so romantic.  After strolling around for a bit, we ventured over to the nearby town for a couple of beers.

That evening, we went down to the living room for some cocktails before dinner.  Since there were only 8 other guests in the chateau, it was a very personal experience.  When we sat down in the very posh but cozy living room, we were offered cocktails and handed our dinner menus right there.  We enjoyed a couple of glasses of champagne and let them know what we would be having for dinner.  About 15 minutes before our dinner was ready, we were shown to the dining area where we started with a bottle of wine and our first course.  Dinner was an event...really...we were down there in the living room, then the dining room, then coffee in the courtyard garden, for 3 hours.  We felt so pampered!
