Domaine de Bagatelle is an exceptional hilltop retreat centred around a grand courtyard, combining a 19th century mansion and a 18th century hunting lodge, 
surrounded by acres of immaculate private estate.
The interior design is lavish yet cosy in delicate shades of white and blue that complement the exposed stonework, creating bright and spacious interiors across fantastic dining and living spaces. Each benefits from four luxurious bedrooms in a family friendly mix of twin, double and bunk beds, as well as an extensive list of amenities including wide screen satellite TV’s, Bluetooth stereo and outdoor speakers.
The grounds are timeless in their grandeur, offering acres of expertly preened Aquitaine countryside that includes lawns, walled gardens, heated swimming pool, an arboretum, and two small lakes. There really is little you could want for when staying in such luxury, but you must be sure to explore the fantastic region that surrounds the property, where you’ll find exquisite restaurants, magnificent chateaux and endless tranquil countryside.

Yey! Wait… what is that? What’s included? |
What Oliver loves…
- A rare chance to stay in such a monumental historic mansion, recently renovated with stylish interior design.
- Acres of glorious private parkland that include a fantastic variety of features, from walled gardens and boules, to table tennis and the massive heated pool.
- The views from this secluded hilltop paradise never cease to amaze and will provide a memorable backdrop to care-free days at Domaine de Bagatelle.
What you should know…
- The light coloured decor may seem a concern with young children, but all furnishings are in fact easily washable.
- It takes a while to drive from the airport, but it's more than worth it when you finally arrive!
Property Features
The property is set in 175 acres of private land. Mainly mixed woodland and pasture.

Enjoy gourmet dining experiences with our new Chef Service!
We’re now offering our customers the chance to enjoy some unforgettable eats with our new Chef Service! Choose from booking a single sumptuous meal with a private chef for that special occasion, or hire a chef to cook your meals for all or part of your holiday - it’s as flexible as it is delicious.
A) Single Meal Service: A chef will travel to this villa and whip up a fantastic meal for you and your guests. The chef will arrive with all the necessary ingredients as well as the talent to turn them into something unforgettable. They’ll serve the meal and clear up afterwards - an easy and entertaining way to enjoy a top quality meal in your very own villa!
B) Full Chef Service: If you really want to kick back and relax, we can arrange for a chef to cater for the duration of your holiday (or part of it). With a range of options from simple family catering to full-on haute cuisine, we can organise a meal plan and a price to suit your needs. So why worry about self-catering when you can have everything taken care of?
Of course, before booking this service, we suggest you contact the property owner as they might already offer a similar cook or chef service in-house. To find out more simply visit www.oliverstravels.com/chefs.

What was it about the property that you first fell in love with?
Theo's parents friends owned it as a child, he remembers loving the view and when it came onto the market he couldn't help himself!
Are there any interesting stories in its history?
In the early 2000's the previous owners tried to get permission to build a racetrack in it's grounds. Luckily this was turned down by the local planners but not before it became the subject of local and international interest, including being written about in the Telegraph.
Have you ever had any famous guests staying?

For anyone coming to stay is there anything in the surrounding area they should...
