Château de Fontanges

It’s love at first site as guests arrive at the impressive Château de Fontanges, a beautiful bubble of green, where the splendid castle sits central to the tree-lined outdoor spaces and sparkling outdoor pool. Inside quaint tapestries adorn the stone walls, leather bound books are stacked neatly on windowpanes, and soft chairs entice you to sit down and get comfortable.

Rooms at the castle are no less exquisite, a natural palette of colours extends from one room to the next, and plush wooden furniture pays homage to the establishment’s outdoor environment. Sink into your deluxe bedding and wake up to fresh country air come morning.

Settle into the sauna for an afternoon of deep relaxation or be pampered with a massage to knead out any unwanted muscle tension. The gym provides quality equipment, such as an adaptive motion trainer, and multi-programme indoor bike. Here you can prepare yourself for treks throughout the countryside and the enchanting neighbouring villages. Seven seminar rooms provide ample space and amenities for business meetings and trips, if work is on the agenda.

The restaurant, nestled in the former Gallery of the castle will take you back in time with wood panelling, tapestries and a French ceiling. The sunny terrace opens in summertime, where gastronomic delights can be indulged in, while appreciating the lush Domaine garden. In the bar, a majestic fireplace showcases the Fontages coat of arms carved into the stone. Taste a tempting cocktail, warm whiskey or cognac here for a moment of relaxation before bed.

A tranquil, regal residence, steeped in luxurious comforts, nature and history, a vacation in the French countryside couldn’t get any better than this.
