What Oliver loves...
The chateau was actually built in the 11th century and the owners have done an incredible job in combining the truly unique atmosphere inherited from the Middle Ages with all the mod-cons you'd expect from a luxury holiday chateau (and more)!
This property sits in a beautiful part of France that inspires you to really get back to nature. The chateau is entirely private, secluded and tranquil. Truly the ideal place to sit back and unwind.
The home cinema is the best I've seen. So comfortable that it's easy to imagine losing a few hours in there on a rainy day.
There is a brand-new swimming pool that you can enjoy while relaxing and taking in the views of Mont Blanc and the Alps.
What you should know
There are springs that create a natural pool from the river in the garden. If you have children, you will need to keep an eye on them near the springs and the pool.
The current caretakers live on the property and are available for any questions during posted hours.
Children are welcome and please inquire about equipment and local activities that are available.
The lovely heated pool can be enjoyed from 1st May to 30th September
