Castles in Nouvelle-Aquitaine

"Somewhat grand house with a lot of character. Nice view of the garden to the hills and river just outside. Spacious room and bathroom. Everything worked well. Ouffa (the host) was gracious and friendly. Easy and pretty walk into the nearby small town."

"Wow! From the moment we drove through the gates and were welcomed by Valentino, we were blown away. The property is stunning from the outside but is surpassed by what the owners have done to decorate the inside. Each room is breathtaking and the service of nightly orderves left us totally impressed. The final piece de resistance was the amazing meal that Val served up to us, complete with specially selected wines. We were so grateful for the assistance we were provided with arranging our...

"Lovely property. Friendly staff on check in. Breakfast limited but fine. Swimming pool showing it’s age and not well maintained. Value for money to stay in a property like this was great"

"We absolutely love this place. We had a fantastic stay. Thank you to Martine and Bruno for being excellent hosts. The accomodation was well equipped, there was an amazing pool , a ping pong table and a games room which entertained all the children. We spent most of the time outside near the pool and in the annexe which had a kitchen. We stayed in the main house which was plenty big enough to accommodate us all. We would definitely love to return one day with more of the family. Thank you for a...

"A group of 11 women starved here. The location was perfect and the chateau was as pictured. Lots of room. We would stay here again."

"Stunning castle and grounds, nicely appointed with very traditional furnishings. Well maintained. Grégoire, his wife and family were gracious hosts - we felt most welcome during our week-long stay. We stayed in the old block and small tower, away from the main tower. Some may find the accommodation a bit spooky, we did, but after the first night we found it added to the adventure. The pool was very pleasant, around 27 or 28degrees so perfect temperature. In the immediate surrounding area...

"A stunning house in a great character full town! The property catered for all our needs, especially with 9 kids ranging from 3 to 16. The hosts were extremely accommodating and very helpful which made the stay even more relaxing and enjoyable. Excideuil is a beautiful town with great shops and there are a number of lovely restaurants in both the town and the surrounding area. The market on Thursday is also superb. We had a great time and would recommend to anyone wanting to escape for a...

"Delighted by first impression and by overall grandeur of the property. Warmly welcomed by Xavier and his daughter Julia who could not be more helpful. All rooms light and airy and tastefully decorated, and very well appointed kitchen. Games room kept all occupied and the pool was in constant use - the pool size made a positive difference. Outside eating area perfect for family gatherings. Thank you Xavier"

"Zak was a brilliant host, friendly, attentive and ready to quick to any ofrequest. The chateau is fabulous, with loads of very big rooms to spread out in and all the facilities you coukd want. The plunge pool is a bonus on a hot day! "

"Wonderful chateau in the perfect location. Ideal place for unwinding and enjoying peace, tranquility and good food (the local chef is an excellent option)"

"After initial booking, don't expect much more help from the booking agency. And if French is not your spoken language, hire or ask a french speaking friend to help with booking the vendors. The recommended caterers are ok. Book the times 30 minutes earlier to ensure it's on time. And make sure ALL details are in writing and explored, or you may be disappointed."
