Chateau In North East, Sleeps 34

Chateau in North East

17th Century Chateau with pool. Sleeps 34.

One of the most significant historical chateaux in France, Villette is both simple and sumptuous: the great octagonal salon in white and blue, the elegant dining room with the original 17th Century carved stone buffet, magnificent boiseries that has dessus-de-deportes by Francois Boucher, and the limestone entry hall which completely exalts the classicism of the 17th Century. All of the 18 bedrooms (each with its own private bathroom) were beautifully remodelled between 1999 and 2001. A professional gourmet kitchen was installed in 2001, with top of the line commercial appliances in addition to two service kitchens, a gym, a billiard room and a banquet room. A telephone system is accessible from each room in addition to wireless Internet connection. There are numerous outbuildings including a spacious chapel and adjacent reception room, horse stables, and a greenhouse. The 185+ acres of garden was designed by Le Notre and spreads out behind the chateau in the central axis with two rectangular lakes attracting swans, ducks, wading birds and fishes. The spectacular cascade and fountain resembles the one at Louis XIV’s Chateau Marly, surmounted by a Neptune. The private and serene grounds provide numerous outdoor activities for the chateau guests, including jogging, biking, hunting, the swimming pool, and the newly built tennis court.
