“An impressive 13th Century moated Château set on charming grounds. Lofty bedrooms ooze old-world style, think antique drapes, bold wallpapers, four-poster beds and knockout views. Mouthwatering dinners are served, house party style, in a large kitchen, at separate tables, or on the lawn. Spoiling!”

Hotel review

Press a button, and iron gates open to reveal the front door beyond a sweep of lawn flecked with strutting peacocks. A stunning atmosphere is on offer at this wonderful 13th-century moated château where rich and delicious dinners are served, house party style, at a large table in the old kitchen or at separate tables, in fine weather, on the lawn. Some rooms are grand, others homely and comfortable.

Chateau de Vault de Lugny

"Old world elegance with a butler to boot. This is a place to live out your aristocratic fantasies. Beautifully furnished rooms (Versailles meets National Trust) and there also a fabulous swimming pool in the chateau’s vaults."
