    Fantastic to stay in a real chateau! The games rooms were great and added to the experience. Really helpful to have a little kitchen as it is in a small village (and was a stormy night so glad to stay in). Location is also great for Poitiers and...

Viviane
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.
We are a family team. After restoring this old castle we are pleased to open it for people from many countries who enjoy to talk about History, old buildings, Literature and many topics.
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.
