Price and Availability
Set in the midst of a large noble country estate, once belonging to Princess Napoleon, the Domaine offers something very special indeed! You enter up a long driveway to the crest of the hill with stunning views over the French countryside and into the private courtyard of the Domaine where the main house and cottage are. There is plenty of parking and a delightful gravelled courtyard with a large dining table and seating for 12 easily. The accommodation is split with 4 bedrooms in the main house and 2 bedrooms in the cottage.
The Country House
Originally a Hunting Lodge, the house has been renovated and now provides modern and luxurious living whilst still retaining the charm and character of such a noble property such as the original terracotta tiles, vast exposed wooden beams and thick stone walls. The living areas are large and ideal for family groups. The kitchen is at the heart of the house and an ideal place for foodies to cook together with a large central table. In the Living Room, there are double sofas centred around an open fireplace with majestic chimney. There is a television (with French & English channels) in here as well as a smaller table for board games and playing cards. The house also has a laundry room with washing machine and tumble dryer.
The 4 bedrooms in the main house are set on the first floor with three bath/shower-rooms. All the bedrooms are beautifully decorated with antiques and stunning artwork. The beds are modern and the bedding is of 5 star luxury hotel standard. Each bedroom consists of 2 90cm x 200 cm beds which can be joined to offer a 180cm (Super King) bed.
The Cottage
The cottage is more rustic in feel and offers that bit of independence from the main house whilst just being a few steps across the courtyard from the main house. There is a small Kitchenette and Living Area and then 2 bedrooms upstairs. This is ideally set up as a double (180 cm bed) and a twin bedroom so perfect for a family group. There is also a shower-room.
In addition, there are additional rooms that can be opened on request which include a Fitness Room, Boot Room and Cinema. Please enquire.
It is also possible to add additional services such as everyday cleaning, chef on request, welcome dinner, food delivery and breakfast baskets. Please enquire.
Outside Living
The property is surrounded by beautiful countryside and the views are spectacular. The property is set in grounds of approximately 6 hectares. The swimming pool is set behind the cottage and has a terrace surrounding it with two shades for the heat of the day. There are numerous other quiet areas to escape to around the property as well as many woodland walks throughout the estate. The swimming pool is 10m x 5m. There are plenty of recliners around the pool area. The property has a gas BBQ to enjoy al fresco dining. You can also make use of the table tennis table and petanque to keep all ages entertained.

We spent the Pentecost weekend with our children and grandchildren, this area is a haven of peace, ideal for recharging your batteries, it's a shame that we couldn't enjoy the swimming pool because of the weather. The owner and his wife are charming, caring, attentive to the requests of their customers, know how to receive (elegant table set on our arrival). Utensils and dishes in very large quantity, great bean-to-cup coffee machine (tasting a good artisanal coffee offered by the owner). The bedding is of super quality, very spacious rooms, tastefully decorated. Impeccable cleanliness. We made a fireplace (too bad for a month of May 😉) but very enjoyable and cozy. The area is very large, wooded, flowery, superb walk to do. The garden furniture is top notch with large parasols, plancha. Everything is done to have a pleasant stay, we highly recommend this area.

We had a very good week at the Domaine. The property is very quiet, in a beautiful site (large garden, beautiful trees...). It is very well equipped: bedding, sheets/towels/tea towels provided as well as shower gel and shampoo, large and well-equipped kitchen, everything is well sized for a group of 12 adults. The rooms are large and well decorated. The owners are charming, available without being intrusive, and have a family history that is interesting to discover. In short, I totally recommend this location

A very friendly welcome. The place is very quiet while still allowing visits to tourist sites. The kitchen is very well equipped. We enjoyed discovering the family history. The family run the nearby Napoleon Museum.
