Property information

An authentic castle in a quiet countryside location with beautiful views and a privative kitchen in each room. Rooms are big, and all different, with furniture fitted to each style.. Games lounges are available with billiards, ping-pong, games.

Neighbourhood information

Notre château est situé dans un village calme, juste à côté de l'église romane qui vient juste d'être restaurée. Dans le village on trouve de petits commerces (restaurant, boulangerie, épicerie, boucher-charcutier-traiteur). Je vais régulièrement courir dans les environs, la campagne est découverte et sure, et je peux facilement indiquer des boucles faciles à trouver. Une piste cyclable est aussi disponible dans la campagne.
