The discreet entrance gives the impression of arriving at a private property and thus the magic begins. Overlooking a lake, the Château’s mellow hued stone, russet roof turrets and exquisitely restored period details give a unique sense of place. I made my way to reception where a warm greeting was received. After pleasantries and registering, an escort to my room was accepted. Our route to the room passed through a magnificent open mezzanine where I imagined the festivities it had witnessed. We arrived at my suite; it was huge with the ceiling reaching high up into the roof turret. The design sympathetically balanced modern comforts with the Château’s historical features. The views across the estate filled me with pleasure and an eagerness to go and explore.
