About this property
An extraordinary 900-year old chateau in the Pays de Loire with luxury accommodations and a picturesque setting outside a pretty village: this historic castle wing sets the scene for magical family holidays.
This particular wing of the castle, the Chateau des Poetes Keep, dates back to the 13th century and is artfully designed. Ornate wallpaper, rich tapestries, antique furnishings, and chandeliers decorate the four floors, including five sumptuous bedrooms with luxury bedding and gorgeous valley views.
Dinners at home are quite special in the medieval dining room beside the Gothic fireplace (wood included!), and the library, piano, billiard table, and games make it easy to stay entertained indoors.
The 15 hectares of parkland are filled with exotic trees imported from all over the world. Guests will also love the private pond, shared pool, and a vibrant French garden, complete with ancient castle ruins.
The famous Puy du Fou is a must see. It’s been named the 2nd most popular theme park in France next to Disneyland Paris and is just 8km away!
The owners live in the main part of the castle (they run a B&B here) and they rent this historical wing of the large castle, with an independent entrance. Please contact us for further details.
There is a village close by where you will find a bakery, chemist and supermarket (open every day till 7.30 p.m and on Sunday morning).
There is a tennis court in the village which is within walking distance. There are excellent golf courses and horse riding possibilities within 15-25 minutes from the castle.
If you wish to try local restaurants, we recommend taking a short trip to La Bergelière (menus from 20 euros per person), Les 3 Piliers (5 km) or Auberge du Mont Mercure (2km).
On your request we can arrange grocery delivery directly at the chateau!
