Overview
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.
| Good news! For a little extra, this property can be booked as a Vill'otel |

What you should know…
- The light coloured decor may seem a concern with young children, but all furnishings are in fact easily washable.

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.
