Description

Sheltered in its 12-hectare estate, the Quattrocento-style Château de Fonscolombe can only be discovered at the last moment. A magnificent avenue of two-hundred-year-old trees leads to this splendid building built in the 18th century by the Marquises of Saporta and Fonscolombe. Once you have crossed the threshold, you will be amazed by the beauty and character of the place, which has been preserved during the restoration. Old parquet floors and old terracotta tiles, a grand piano and a crystal chandelier all reflect the style of the house: old and refined.

For the pleasure of the eyes and the comfort of your nights, the rooms combine with perfection a period decoration (rare fabrics, noble materials, antique furniture…) with modern equipment (excellent bedding, contemporary bathrooms…). The majority of the rooms and suites offer a splendid view of the gardens.

Finally, families will be delighted by this kid-friendly house: catering adapted for toddlers, outdoor and indoor activities, playroom and baby-sitting. Everything is in place for a successful family holiday!
