Accommodation

Authentic 10-bedroom holiday chateau with beautiful, private grounds and in the heart of the village - ideal for several families & large group gatherings

A farm in a former life, this is a unique holiday property in the heart of a seaside village!

Comprising four buildings, the 550m2 property is wrapped around a secluded courtyard and features an amazing garden too. In all, the plot is approximately 3200m2 and more than half of this is given over to the garden.

The property can in fact be accessed from two sides - one leading directly into its enchanting garden and another into its imposing courtyard entrance.

The chateau retains plenty of character features and is decorated & furnished tastefully - you will certainly feel you are holidaying in a classically French property. At the same time, it has a laid-back and 'sociable' vibe where families can relax and feel at ease.

Location

Situated in the heart of Angoulins-sur-Mer a seaside village just to the south of famous La Rochelle. The chateau location is convenient for village amenities, supermarkets and the beaches of Angoulins and beyond. The property is very tucked away in a residential area - it's something of a 'secret' location. The property has dual access: the main front entrance into the courtyard and an entrance from the road into the gardens. The park-style gardens are surrounded by the original high walls and this affords plenty of privacy and seclusion. From Angoulins, it's a short drive to La Rochelle or catch a train from the village station and save the hassle of parking. La Rochelle airport is a 20-minute drive making this venue a very good choice for a weekend/short break - what better place to celebrate an anniversary or special birthday with friends/family?
