“Built in 1550 for Diane de Poitiers, Henry II’s mistress, and reworked in the 18th-century, this is a real crenelated castle with a turret bedroom, 24-acre park and its own lake. In their stunning conversion, its designer owners, Peter Wylly and Birgit Israel, have created a masterly blend of the old and the new with a delightfully unstuffy feel.”
