Le Chateau de Manoncourt was bought and restored by the the Kuntz family and they did a marvellous job with a lot of respect for the historical features. The reception hall of the castle was decorated by Louis Guingot, an art nouveau artist of L'école de Nancy, and has become the highlight of the place. In the morning, the guests have the honour to have breakfast in this gigantic and awe-striking decor. Virginie makes sure that breakfast is an equally wonderful experience. The breakfast is more-than-you-can eat and is served in an very friendly and disarming way by the lady of the house, Virginie. She tells you with a lot of passion about the renovation works. It is clear that the family lives to bring this estate back to its past grandeur. The rooms are situated in the former stables and are decorated with eye for detail in an Asian style. The rooms are spotless and you feel Virginie's concern to make your stay an unforgettable one. When you return from dinner, a candle is lighted to welcome you back in your room. The rooms are most comfortable and you have everything you need. This is a place to get away from it all and just enjoy, Virginie will make sure of that.

Magnificent place!

Absolutely fantastic place, made so by the lovely hosts. Attention to detail, welcome and special atmosphere are simply perfect.  Accommodation is superb. Highly recommended. Hello to dear Virginie and Olivier from Nat and Peter ! Nat and Peter (England)

5 star

Beautiful chateau with ancient rooms. Very caring owner, was keep to explain us the whole history of the place and give tips for visits around. The guest rooms are very comfortable (not necessarily antique), furnished in oriental style. Ideal for couples or a family. Pool is under a roof, not very big but there is also a good oppourtunity to cool off in shadow of old trees in the huge park... loved it. Very romantic accomodation - you will not forget this place!

Excellent address

When you look for an attractive place in the Chambres de Charme guide, you know in principle what you can expect. And  no mistake, four "épis d'or" is a high rating!
Virginie Kuntz and her team exactly and perfectly provide everything you might wish as far as adequate accomodation goes. Everything is absolutely first rate. No use to go into the many outstanding details. Whatever your benchmarks, they will be adequately met! The price/value rate could not be better.
But for us - we planned this stay as a family reunion, two octogenarians plus daughter and son in law - the obvious contentment and implementation of our expectations was not what made our stay so unique. I can distinguish three reasons that explain why we felt so elated about our Château-de-Manoncourt experience.
The first has to do with the location. Manoncourt is at equidistance (approximately thirty or so kilometers) from two remarkable cities, viz. Metz and Nancy. There are of course many aspects that make both cities so special. For us there are two outstanding attractions. Metz is the first city to host "another" Centre Pompidou. Its architecture is overwhelming. The way it functions as a museum, is exemplary. I never nor anywhere have seen such an efficient didactic approach to a selection of masterpieces as the one implemented in the gallery on the second floor. You walk along a dark corridor, look at the notices about the artists against the wall at your right side. You make a half turn around and you face the work in question. The only thing you further have to do, is entering the room where all the masterpieces can be admired. Definitely a brilliant idea!
A visit to Nancy brings you face to face with the absolutely perfect Place Stanislas. The rigid symmetry and harmony of the volumes is beyond compare. The exuberant sculptures in the corners are of an unseen grace! 
The second attraction of our lodgings is the underlying concept. Everything you see is an emanation of the Asian culture. It creates a very special kind of peace and rest. It exudes a homogenous harmony. And what is really special is that after a while you realize that you inhale an intriguing smell, the Ylang aroma, that gave its name to the rooms where you stay. What's  "in the name", is effectively also "in the air". It is uncommon to encounter evidence of this type. You simply cannot miss it. The beauty of this place is so overwhelming.
And the highest mark of originality lies in waiting for the visitor who is now walking through the garden to the reception hall, with his mind set on just having a healthy breakfast. It soon becomes apparent that the best is about to.come. Watch the perfectly dressed table. Flowers, colours, cups and plates of an extreme oriental elegance and the most jovial service and conversation. Here is where to drink your freshly pressed fruit juice and your tea has turned into an art and a "joie de vivre". Everything is fresh, fragrant and decorated. After one day you wonder what the next day will bring. More of the same but with delicate variation. Do not expect to drink two consecutive days from the same type of cups. On the final day of our stay, a Sunday, the lady of the manor had decided to match what she was wearing with the dominant colours on the breakfast table! 
No wonder we hope to be there another time. No wonder that this praise is so voluminous!

Why our stay was a unique experience?

I rented the gite. It was spotlessly clean and superficially opulent, with various oriental souvenirs on most surfaces. The grounds are large, with beautiful trees. There are problems, however: 
There is no shower.
There is no hanging space in the bedrooms.
The stairs are dark, narrow and potentially dangerous.
There is very little worksurface in the kitchen.
The dining chairs are uncomfortable and worn-out.
The TV is ludicrously large for such a small room (I suspect it's the owners' cast-off).
There is no private space outside.
The owner is intrusive.
The chateau is used for conferences and you may have to put up with a lot of arrivals and departures.
Cleaning, at 95€ is compulsory. The owner says it is not compulsory, but if you do a good job of cleaning she will find a hair on the carpet or dust under the TV and say you haven't cleaned properly and charge you anyway. This was done in a supercilious and condescending manner. I have rented, on average, 3 gites per year for 28 years. I always do my own cleaning and have never been charged before. The experience at this gite was uniquely unpleasant.
