From the moment you arrive at Chateau Calinotte, you can experience dreamy, unspoilt French countryside from this beautiful 19th century chateau, only about 45-minutes from Bordeaux centre. Built in 1824, this magnificent neo-classical house has been carefully renovated, rejuvenating the architecture and luster of its past, whilst adding in elements from the current century. Chateau Calinotte is located in Lamarque along the Gironde estuary, where you can truly appreciate the calm and serenity of the estate and its superb, wooded park, with 40 hectares of surrounding vines.

As you step inside, every corner of the property drips with old style charm, sophistication, and an atmosphere of serenity. Contemporary artworks hint to the modernisation of the building, yet never overshadow the classic elegance of the original design. The entrance boasts a colourful chandelier signed Bocci, as well as three paintings in copper wire, works by Alice Anderson that enhance the surrounding stonework.

To one side of the entrance way there is a fabulous dining room with a feature fireplace and an enviable kitchen, just waiting for budding guests to pick up some local ingredients and start cooking! To the other side of the chateau there is a large living room, with Italian furniture and an intimate smoking room-library, perfect for quiet moments of contemplation.

The bedrooms are arranged over two floors, with two cosy rooms overlooking the courtyard and vineyards. Upstairs there are two spacious suites, furnished with unique Afghan rugs, antique furniture and high-end bedding. Finally, the top floor boasts a fantastic games room, with vast sofas, a flat screen and board games, perfect for joyful evenings and afternoons as a family.
