Stepping inside the Chateau Douillett is like stepping into old French-styled luxury. From the exquisite decor to the spectacular French courtyard. My partner and I felt welcomed, warm, and secure in this beautiful oasis nestled in Springfield. You can see how Cheryl, the owner, takes great care of the property, paying attention to details, and provides an inviting space.
We were in town for a busy weekend (The Big E), and this location provided the perfect place to start and end each day. It offers a beautiful blend of old-world charm and current amenities.

Read moreLe Chateau Douillett is a stunning property. Built in 1929, the home has been carefully and lovingly restored and updated. The rooms are comfortable and tastefully decorated, with tall windows and lots of light.

The inside is equally breathtaking, with different rooms offering unique and elegant looks.
My favorite spots were the dining room, which had an exquisite charm, and the marble gazebo outside, which was simply enchanting. The pictures turned out absolutely amazing. The venue was the perfect spot to have my bespoke wedding gown collection photographed. Cheryl was very patient and allowed us to stay until we finished the shoot.
Overall, I highly recommend the Château. It’s a gorgeous venue with a fantastic and...
