Het kasteel van binnen is leuk om te zien, niet spectaculair, maar de tuinen zijn schitterend om te zien more »

Château et jardins à visiter. Privilégier la visite du jardin après le début du printemps, beaucoup moins d’intérêt en hiver. La visite du château reste à faire absolument. Très beau château more »

Castle and gardens to visit. Focus on the visit of the garden after the beginning of the spring, much less interest in winter. The visit of the castle remains absolutely. Beautiful castle

Even in the winter it is worth going here. We had the place almost to ourselves and it's been beautifully restored. The gardens were still impressive in the winter and worth a stroll

A must visit place at any time of the year obviously best when plants in season but still has charm on any visit.

Back in the day I visited this beautiful maze in a castle. It was logical to cut all the hedges around to create a pretty maze like that. I can't forget how nice the early-morning was, when we could visit and spend time to look at every single thing in the Maze without being stuck in a crowd. It was a nice day and a nice memory about Château de Villandry.

A beautiful castle with an incredibly well designed and maintained garden. Easy parking. Audio guide is recommended as it gives interesting insight into the rich history of the features and sites.

Fantastic gardens. The château itself is lovely but the gardens took most of my time, memory card space, and left the biggest impression. I don't think I saw their equal anywhere else in France.
