The chateau’s interior has gorgeous wooden floors and panelling, complemented by impressive fireplaces and luxurious furnishings. The six towers present charming feature rooms, including a wonderfully secluded library. Breathtaking views of the countryside can be glimpsed from all the stained glass windows. Guests can discover their own favourite place for reading, relaxing or enjoying a drink in the spacious living room and the halls where bookcases and armchairs are set on each floor. Our suites are spacious and individual in character, and all are wonderfully restful.

The Chateau is furnished (where appropriate) with antiques, some original to the chateau, others discovered and some rescued and restored. We have combed brocantes and markets to find pieces that appealed to us, and still enjoy browsing for special pieces.

Chateau Ribagnac is set in 35 hectares of gardens, meadows and woodland and is surrounded by unspoilt Limousin countryside. Guests can explore the beautiful grounds and relax by the lakes, and pause to enjoy the cool sweet waters of our own spring. There is also a charming kitchen garden.

The chateau changes over the year with the seasons, allowing guests to enjoy a link with nature, though the inspirational spring blooms of the fruit trees and rhododendra, the joy of summer and its wild flowers and hydrangeas to the stunning autumnal colours of trees, ferns and heather and the crisp clear days of winter. Perhaps you will catch a glimpse of our deer, hear the cuckoos, woodpeckers and numerous owls, marvel at the birds of prey or witness the migration of the cranes.

There is an unsupervised play area for children on the grounds.

For the 2007 season, we have a small tearoom, located on the mezzanine, for guests. There is a fridge, kettle, bottle warmer and sterilizer and sink, as well as tea, coffee and tisanes. An ironing board, iron and trouser press are also available.
