An elegant French château brimming with antiques and surrounded by landscaped lawns. Enjoy convivial dinners with the perfect host

Read guest comments

This château was built in 1698 for one of Napoleon’s generals and the two paintings that hang in the Louis XVI salon were gifts from the Emperor. The house has been in David’s family for nearly a century and he’s a genuinely charming and welcoming host.

Enjoy the peace and quiet lazing on the terrace or in the library, or perhaps a game of billiards – or pull on your hiking boots and follow your nose through the woods and round the ponds. Stay in for splendid candlelit dinners in the majestic dining room in the company of your host.

Cycling and walking holidays can begin here, and David is happy to supply maps and suggestions. You can drive to Dieuze for shops and restaurants in ten minutes; Nancy, Strasbourg and Metz are within an hour’s drive.

"We had a memorable couple of nights at Chateau dAlteville, receiving a very warm welcome from our host and enjoying sociable evenings chatting to other guests over first aperitifs and then supper. It felt more ‘French country house party’ than B&B and we loved every minute of it - definitely very special."

"This is a really memorable place to stay. Beautiful setting, a chateau steeped in history and an owner David who is charming and goes out of his way to make his guests feel welcome, relaxed and special. We stayed three nights, took bikes and cycled around the villages, watched the storks and in the evenings ate with David and the other guests around their large dining table. Would definitely recommend."

"Fascinating castle, wonderful accommodation, lively and attentive hosts. Great for staying with families as there is a big garden, and the children can go to bed while the grown ups enjoy dinner downstairs. Lovely breakfasts. Ask for a tour - there's a lot of history here. Would love to stay again."

"Our ground floor bedroom was beautiful. We shared a delightful wild boar dinner with David, four South Africans, two Germans and two Dutch.It was hilarious and great company. DAVID AND THE TWO DAUGHTERS WERE EXCELLENT HOST AND HOSTESSES"

"My wife and I and our grown-up daughter had a lovely stay here for 7 nights in September. We would happily endorse the description on the Sawday site and also the earlier two reviews. To add a couple of other points: David is an absolutely charming host, who works hard to involve all his guests in the conversation - this is quite a challenge given the wide range of languages spoken! The area is quiet and beautiful countryside with excellent walking (David can provide maps and advice) and quite a lot of historical interest. We found plenty to do for a week, including day trips to Metz, Nancy and Strasbourg. Many people only stay for a day or two en route to and from the Channel ports, but the area deserves more time. The chateau is a fine historical building, well equipped and traditionally furnished. Everything works, just don't expect clinical efficiency - people who demand that should stay at a motel, and they'll miss out on the joys of being part of the family in such a lovely setting."
