“A 17th-century castle which has been completely renovated, turning it into a five-star hotel. Elegant rooms and suites have plenty of period style but the feel is fresh and contemporary. There's a fine dining restaurant, an impressive wine cellar and expansive grounds. Ideal for a luxe rural escape.”
