New for Summer 2009
Le Catalpa is a newly renovated two bedroom house with a large living room and brand new kitchen. Ideal for families, but would also suit a couple or four adults. It has its own garden with garden furniture and a barbecue for enjoying dining al fresco on those balmy summer evenings. The house is part of the Chateau’s old stone built farmhouse and benefits from being within the grounds of the Chateau, so guests can also enjoy the extensive grounds (86 acres). The house looks out to a pair of ancient Catalpa trees (Indian bean trees) which reclines elegantly over the grass and to the Chateau. The house is far enough from the Chateau to enjoy its own privacy.
Le Catalpa is decorated in the chic country-modern style and has an impressive granite fireplace fitted with a wood burner supplied with firewood for cosy winter evenings. The house is tiled throughout with attractive creamy-white “blanc cassé” rustic tiles. The front door opens into the living room with generous space to relax in, and opens to the right into the kitchen, making for relaxed dining where you can chat and sip a glass of wine while you enjoy preparing the fabulous produce available, or simply warming up a Chateau prepared meal. The bedrooms are located at the rear of the house as is the luxurious bathroom.
We welcome families and make it as easy as possible to travel with younger family members.
