The Area
The Chateau offers a rare opportunity to enter the world of the French
aristocracy. This luxurious property is set in the Auvergne, deep in the heart
of France. The Chateau's owners have renovated their ancestral home in perfect
taste, providing every modern comfort while preserving the aura of days gone by.
The Chateau's exterior dates back to the 17th century, while the interiors are
decorated in opulent 18th-century style. The property is a stunning showcase for
antique furnishings, ancestral portraits, leather bound books and picturesque
old hunting weapons. Each of the bedrooms has its own special style, with canopy
beds and luxurious bathrooms with deep tubs and marble sinks. Set on a hilltop,
the property includes a 15-acre park and a small swimming pool.
The Properties
Imagine having breakfast in bed while listening to the fountain splash in the
inner courtyard, and enjoying the views of the Puys mountain range from your
bedroom window. On warm days, lunch is served outdoors under an arbor of
hazelnut trees. And in the evening, you will enjoy exquisitely prepared gourmet
meals served in the beautiful dining room, silverware gleaming in the
candlelight. All meals and wines are included, and the discreet, highly trained
staff (cook, maid and caretaker) will help you feel perfectly at home. During
your stay, you can tour nearby chateaux and Romanesque churches, attend a
concert at a local music festival, or simply enjoy the beauty of the Auvergne.
With volcanic mountains, deep valleys and lakes, the Auvergne offers
opportunities for hiking, horseback riding and canoeing, as well as tennis and
golf. Day trips are possible throughout the region, as far as the Dordogne.
