As five seasoned travellers we’ve never stayed in a place quite like this. It’s bizarrely eclectic. But it’s also truly wonderful as a real live castle steeped in history and surrounded by idyllic National Park. Make sure you search in the multitude...

Château De Baloigne sits in the popular Ardeche region of south eastern France. For those seeking comfort, character, style and an atmosphere unique amongst our collection, then this medieval castle is the perfect choice for your luxury château holiday! This fabulous self-catering chateau is surrounded by medieval ruins providing a truly atmospheric holiday experience.

Château De Baloigne, and indeed the whole estate, is protected by the government as a Historic Monument. However, the ancient building has been combined with 21st century touches such as a fully fitted kitchen, hot and cold running water and modern bathrooms with showers. The interior décor is traditionally French but with a few Spanish touches.

Château De Baloigne can sleep up to 18 guests across the six bedrooms in the main house, a basic studio apartment in a separate part of the ruins (if required), and a tower with two bedrooms and bathrooms including a stunning rooftop terrace where you can sleep out under the stars on warm summer nights.

There is also table tennis, various dining terraces, a beautiful old open fire and a library.

What Oliver loves...

  • The property is set within the ruins of a medieval castle with some parts of the original dungeon dating back to the 12th century.
  • The views in every direction are just stunning. You are in the heart of nature surrounded by pine trees with the river running below
  • There are multiple great spots to relax and while away the hours either reading or enjoying a glass of wine on the terraces overlooking the woodland
  • Enjoy the stunning roof terrace where you can spend the night sleeping under the stars!

What you should know

  • The Wi-Fi is only available in the dining room, the kitchen and the rear terrace adjoining the kitchen.
  • There have been many groups with young children enjoy the chateau but remember that the property is set in castle ruins so some care does need to be taken!
  • Please note that the 12-person rate allows access to Château only. 18-person rate allows access to both the Château and Tower.

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!
