Le Château, all to yourselves
An 8-bedroom château for your exclusive use, with its private heated pool and enclosed garden, at the heart of the estate.
When you book the château, it is yours alone for the whole stay: the house, its garden and its fenced, heated private pool. The 5,000 m² property is entirely private and not overlooked. The château has its own walled area, separate from the estate’s gîtes.
You enter through a large hall with a stone staircase. On the ground floor, the grand sitting room and the dining room have room for everyone; on the top floor, there is a second, cosier sitting room. There is also a library and a games room with a table-tennis table.
The kitchen is made for cooking together around its big table: dishwasher, oven, hob, microwave, three fridges and three freezers, plus a scullery to keep things organised. The washing machine and tumble dryer are on site.
Outside: the pool, the large barbecue, garden furniture, and a sandpit and swings for the children. In summer, life is lived outdoors between the pool and the dinner table; in winter, it’s the place to gather for a stay or a weekend by the fire.
We live on the estate and are available throughout your stay.
