Have a large group looking to soak up the bounty of the one of the most beautiful regions in France? Consisting of five diverse buildings with luxury accommodations for 40-48 guests, this chateau in Burgundy will delight with its jaw-dropping views and special charm.
A total of 21 bedrooms with equal bathrooms are dispersed among the Main House, Commons, Pavilions, Caves, and the Annexe, which centre around a gorgeous courtyard and are enclosed by fortified medieval walls.
The vaulted caves date back to the Middle Ages and are now gorgeous suites with fireplaces. The 19th century Main House above is equally stunning, with terraces on all sides overlooking the countryside. Two 17th century buildings make up the Commons, while the Pavilions have been converted into light-filled studios with private kitchens. The Annexe is a short walk from the chateau, making it an ideal space for those looking for more privacy.
Each property is beautifully designed and warmly inviting, with spacious common areas and traditional charm. Guests will delight in the spectacular pool, lush gardens, and alfresco dining alongside unobstructed valley views – plus the indoor games, cinema room, and the numerous vineyards just 25 minutes from the chateau!
What you should know…
- Please note weddings and events are not permitted
- The Annexe is a three minute walk from the chateau
This home is a part of our Great Value and Heritage Collection!
This is a historic home, and as such:
- It has probably been standing for over 100 years, which means it's full of historic value and charm but it may also have one or two quirks!
- Some of the decor and furnishings may not be brand new, but that should not detract from your holiday experience in this unique setting that allows you to take a step back in time!

This was a Really Special Holiday
The Chateau was amazingly brilliant and so beautiful. The pictures can't describe it.

Family holiday
We booked the Chateau and Annexe for one week in late September for a big holiday with family and friends. Everyone made a point of telling us what an incredible venue and area we had chosen - I'll list out a few of the many great things about Chateau-des-Siecles:
- The owner/staff who looked after us incredibly well - they were responsive, made themselves available and checked up most days (without being intrusive) and they went out of their way to make our stay as stress-free as possible (e.g. helping move furniture / changing linen for new guests).
- The accommodation - very tastefully decorated but without being stuffy (i.e. it felt like a place to be lived in and enjoyed), luxurious (great mattresses, linen, bathrooms, kitchens etc) and spacious with ample facilities for numerous groups to do their own thing, or indeed for everyone to get together.
- The setting / location - the views from the Chateau and it's grounds have to be seen to be believed, everywhere you walk you spot another stunning aspect. The local area offers plenty of activities such as canoeing, cycling, walking or visiting vineyards - we could easily have spent a month exploring.
- The little things - there were numerous touches which we were not expecting from a self-catering rental but which helped make our stay extra-special: pool towels washed and replaced each day, someone popping in in the early morning to clean and tidy communal areas and basic food provisions provided (jam, butter, milk etc) on the first day.
- Value for money - given the astonishing setting and luxurious accommodation, Chateau-des-Siecles offers superb value for money.
Highly recommended - so much so we are hoping to find another excuse to come back! -
Idyllic chateau, beautiful decor, and incredible views
My husband and I organised our wedding at the Chateau and Annex last month, and it exceeded our expectations. The grounds and rooms were stunning - we only wish we could have stayed longer! The owner, Marion, was incredibly helpful and anticipated all the needs and desires that guests would have - the chateau had everything you could hope for, from organising a formal dinner to hosting a BBQ on the terrace overlooking the valley to lounging by the pool. It was also incredibly spacious - with plenty of different spaces, allowing everyone to enjoy time on their own as well. Lastly, the area around the chateau was fantastic, with beautiful countryside and fantastic vineyards. I could not speak highly enough about this property - I'm sure you'll enjoy it as much as we did.
