Originally built in the early 1600s, Chateau Serbise has been lovingly converted into an impressive holiday home. The estate, including vast areas of stunning parkland, also includes two more simple houses; Etables Serbise and Domaine Serbise, all three historical homes can be rented together for large groups and weddings or booked separately for an ideal family holiday or celebration.
Chateau Serbise is the largest home on the estate, sleeping sixteen guests with eight bedrooms. The characterful grand salon features a rare decorative fireplace and the snooker room will delight all generations. An unpretentious dining room allows families and friends to gather for fine feasts and doors lead to the south facing patio, great for sun worshippers.
Whilst the charming home is full of history, you will find all the modern conveniences you would expect such as a well-equipped kitchen suitable for caterers, Wi-Fi and satellite TV. The chateau features a wonderful terrace, barbecue and al-fresco eating area which all leads to the inviting swimming pool overlooking the vast gardens and parkland.
Within 7km can find yourself in medieval Pons with restaurants, small shops and historical sights. Activities in the area include golf, horse-riding and canoeing. Beach-lovers only have to travel just over half an hour to the coast – there are long stretches of sandy beaches from St Georges de Didonne to St Palais sur Mer. Wine aficionados needn’t travel far either with dozens of wineries and Cognac nearby. This region has a particularly mild climate all year round and it can be one of the sunniest parts of France during from late Spring to Autumn.
Whether a picturesque wedding in beautiful surroundings or a relaxing family holiday, Chateau Serbise offers you character and comfort in a glorious historical setting.
- Please note that there is no heating in the chateau.
- Please note that only the chef from the property can be used for private chef services.
- Due to the age of the building, the owners (who live discreetly onsite) may require access to the property in case of any issues e.g. water and electricity. They will always request permission beforehand.
- The closest bars and restaurants are 5-7km away, so we recommend a car rental. If you go without, pre-booking taxis is a must!
