Description
Chateau Crystal is a luxurious 19th-century chateau rental in a magnificent 105-acre estate located in the western part of the Loire Valley. It is surely one of the most spectacular chateau rentals in France, offering a 22-acre private recreational lake for boating or fishing, a tree-canopied island with an antique gazebo for weddings and a floating dock/terrace with a rowboat, 3-4 person kayak & a paddleboard you're welcome to use.
There's also a wonderful lakeside terrace, swimming pool, tennis court, 9-hole golf, palatial lawns, gorgeous gardens, magnificent exterior lighting you can control, and woods full of wildlife. All in one of the most beautiful private settings you'll ever see! Wine tasting, golf, horseback riding, bicycling, hot air ballooning, river boat tours, museums, churches, restaurants, shopping and much more are all nearby.
The Chateau has been extensively renovated and sumptuously decorated with beautiful antiques and rich fabrics. Although majestic with its dramatic, double carved-stone stairway in the entrance hall, and elaborate 16.5 foot ceilings throughout the main floor, the Chateau is warm and welcoming. A lift serves all four floors providing easy access to the reception rooms, dining rooms, chapel and the gorgeous en-suite bedrooms available for Guests. Fast wifi/internet and guest laundry facilities are available. The Chateau normally sleeps up to 28 Guests in 14 en suite bedrooms. There are also 2 apartments in a separate building, just a 3-minute walk from the Chateau, which can accommodate an additional 10 guests between the 5 bedrooms.
