Featured in The Telegraph ‘The 10 Best Villa Holidays in France for 2017’

Chateau de Choisel, a castle in Brittany just south of Rennes, is a listed historical monument constructed in the 17th and 18th centuries. Relax in a heated pool and Jacuzzi spa or amongst century-old oak trees around a fishing lake.

The chateau comfortably sleeps up to 11 adults and 2 children in spacious bedrooms, two of which are suites with living rooms that can serve as additional sleeping space. Gather together in two large salons, including a TV room with Satellite TV, and a library and grand dining room. The chateau’s fully equipped kitchen opens up to the terrace, and you can barbecue and dine al fresco or even take a refreshing dip in the heated pool!

You’re close to the village of Poligne, which has a tennis court, and nearby Bain de Bretagne’s weekly market. Visit the picturesque historic centre of Rennes (33 km), as well as its museums and Jardin du Thabor. You’re also only one hour from the châteaux of the Loire, Mont-Saint-Michel and Saint Malo.

Reach Chateau de Choisel via the Rennes (27 km) or Dinard (100 km) airports or the port of Saint Malo (100 km).

Region

Brittany is famed chiefly for its beaches, and with so much coastline to explore it’s certainly one of the best reasons to visit the region. But there’s more to Brittany than sun, sea and sand, and while a good chunk of our villas and chateaux in Brittany are found next to the coast the ones further inland are just as tempting. Want to get the inside scoop on Brittany before you book? You’ll find our full Brittany travel guide below, full of tips, inspiration and great things to do.

    on 28/09/2019

    The Owner is precious and the Chateau is beautiful...It may need a tiny bit of work here and there but overall, I would love to go stay there again. I would recommend it to anyone who is looking for an experience in a historic home that has not been destroyed by "restoration" that diminishes the character of the place!
