Whatever the season, Château Quatre Saisons is the ultimate home away from home and countryside retreat within easy reach of UK and Paris.
After 375 years, this historic château has been brought back to life with the love and exquisite taste of its new owners, who have transformed it into an incredibly stylish and elegant haven. Previous owners of this estate have been traced back as far as 1495 and some records suggest that the Abbot of Mont Saint-Michel may have been the owner of the surrounding land.
Guests are treated to 60 acres of park and woodlands listed as a ‘site classé’ and offering many restored walking paths, beautiful at all times of the year. There is even a rather mystical Cèdre du Liban reputed to have magical powers.
From its privileged location in the stunning Basse Normandie, it is only a 50-minute drive away from three local jewels; Mont St Michel, Bayeux and the D-Day landing beaches and important sites. The immediate area is home to a popular cycling route, so plenty of safe cycling is on hand and can be enjoyed thanks to the château's complimentary bikes.
After a lengthy and meticulous restoration guests can now enjoy up to 10 elegant bedrooms, plenty of comfortable living areas, a library, a fabulous kitchen as well as a gym and a tennis court. The extremely well-equipped kitchen is a real centre piece of the château and a great place to cook and socialise together with friends and family, but when a break from cooking is required the château can organise great meals by its excellent chef and even breakfast.
Outside there are beautiful lawns, the White Terrace and a spectacular enclosed ‘potager’ offering fresh organic fruit and vegetables for most of the year.
Château Quatre Saisons is one of those rare finds where history, natural beauty and exquisite taste have come together to create a masterpiece...a masterpiece just like the magnificent tapestry that hangs in nearby Bayeux.
- When booking the 10-person price, only 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms will be available for guests to use. All 10 bedrooms and 9 bathrooms will be available for guests to use when booking the 18-person price.
- When booking the 10-person price, please let the owners know which bedrooms you wish to be made up for your stay.
- The château's gardien lives on site in a separate cottage and is also on hand to prepare delicious meals as a trained chef!
- A car is recommended for shopping, restaurants and exploring the area.
