We stayed for one night on the way back home from a road trip in France, on the recommendation of good friends who have enjoyed staying here a couple of times recently. The chateau is just outside Rennes and an hour or so from St Malo. The property is set in lovely countryside, and dining on site is recommended. We had a large room on the first floor with a well appointed and designed bathroom in one of the corner turrets of the building. Really comfortable bed and decor in style of the property Staff throughout were charming with special mention of the attentive Maitre D’Hotel who looked after us really well. Champagne on the terrace with canapés before dinner in one of two small dining rooms. Starters were Carpaccio of large prawns with delicious dressing and cuttlefish with bearnaise and its ink with some small potato croquette. Delicious. We then both had lobster (again! Third time this week…) delicious, and beautifully presented. A shared and well kept cheese course preceded desserts which were a strawberry composition and a vanilla, mucovado and salted caramel concoction. Wine was Latour Montagny Premier cru, delicious and suited to the mainly fish meal. We then went down to the Cave and had a couple of liqueurs watching France play Senegal in World Cup with various staff and guests checking in for the score. Lovely breakfast the next morning, and delightful staff again. I would recommend this chateau for great food and accommodation and a peaceful stay where the staff are spot on.

We were pleased to revisit Chateau D'Apigne and it was as enjoyable an experience as last time. It really is a very attractive Chateau in lovely grounds with a long sweeping drive. We stayed in the same room as last time and it was excellent being elegant, spacious and with a walk in shower. We booked dinner in 'Les Tourelles' restaurant in the chateau and it was excellent. Fairly fine fining but not over fussy with great ingredients and beautifully presented. The starter of prawns with spring vegetables was delicate and light and the pollack was wonderful as a main course. We ordered one cheese and one strawberry dessert and felt we had eaten very well indeed. A bottle of rose wine accompanied the meal perfectly. We didn't stay for breakfast but were tempted from happy memories and headed off after a leisurely morning both exclaiming the joy of staying at Chateua D'Apigne whilst looking forward to another return visit!
