    It was a real priviledge to stay in this chateau. It was absolutely full of history and stunning. We stayed in the Maran room which had a small kitchenette which was a real plus. The Pool area was lovely in such warm weather and you felt very much...

    Amazing rooms in the attic with the exposed beams and views. Very quirky, with different levels. A few steps to climb. But worth the effort. The magnificent dining room, well you will have to see for yourself. Breakfast marvellous.

Property information

An authentic castle in a quiet countryside location with beautiful views. Each room is different, with furniture fitted to each style, and equipped with a kitchenette. Games lounges are available with billiards, ping-pong, games.

Neighbourhood information

Notre château est situé dans un village calme, juste à côté de l'église romane qui vient juste d'être restaurée. Dans le village on trouve de petits commerces (boulangerie, épicerie, boucher-charcutier-traiteur) et un petit restaurant portugais très simple. Je vais régulièrement courir dans les environs, la campagne est découverte et sure, et je peux facilement indiquer des boucles faciles à trouver. Une piste cyclable est aussi disponible dans la campagne.
