“A fortified château with pristine gardens and friendly service. Fairytale turrets with spiral staircases and stone-flagged floors house pretty pastel bedrooms with vast beds and antique furnishings. Fantastic food best enjoyed on the leafy terrace. An idyllic country escape.”

Hotel Review
Don’t be misled by the massive, impeccably maintained fortified château and manicured garden: they have hauteur, but the welcome is warm, even cosy. Spiral staircases winding up into the turrets, stone-flagged floors, a huge open hearth in the massively beamed dining room (where dinner is a revelation), vast old beds and antique furnishings all contribute to a sense of time standing still.

Château d'Igé Hotel
A happy blend of medieval charm and 21st century comfort. The medieval century Chateau d’Ige has been impeccable restored. Surrounded by beautiful gardens, it’s a place to unwind and allow yourself to be pampered. Breakfast is served on the patio when the weather is fine.
