“Medieval Château oozing romance and elegance making a hideaway luxury hotel. Celestial views over the vines and towards the lake from beautiful bedrooms. Enjoy the dishes at the restaurant, explore the spa treatments and walk under the 100-year-old lime trees on the terrace. A romantic's paradise. ”

Hotel review

Restored by Lady Hamlyn, now a Von Essen hotel, this deluxe venue is also an important historic monument, and makes an impressive venue for weddings or private parties as well as a romantic setting for couples. Dine in the glittering Salle des Gardes or under 100-year-old lime trees on the terrace, with Beaujolais spread out below. Sleep in gorgeous period-furnished bedrooms with Renaissance wall paintings. Spoiling and dramatically different.
