Description
Château Fleur, built in 1611 during the time of King Louis XIII, has been beautifully renovated and furnished with a mix of contemporary and traditional French furniture. Situated on a low hill with expansive views of its surroundings, its classical architecture is one of careful symmetry and alignment.
Entry is via a stunning avenue of trees past classical iron gates and around a courtyard of traditional French sculptured hedges. Once through the front doors, you will be amazed at the three storey chandeliers casting the most wonderful light on elegant limestone balustrade stairs.
Being a château that has never been abandoned by its owners and its current owners only being its fifth since it was built, the château retains the best of everything of its period. From the ornate window handles in the shape of winged angels to its sculptured limestone balustrade staircase, imposing fireplaces, full length French windows, beamed ceilings and classical proportions, it is a home of perfect light and tranquility.
As well as its historical character and the beauty of its architecture, the high standard of the furnishings and facilities is evident throughout. The impressive kitchen is particularly noteworthy, it has been designed for a chef with only the very best professional appliances. Throughout the château you will appreciate the great care the current owners have taken to ensure the very best quality, design and finish for their guests.
This also extends to the stunning grounds, simply wonderful to stroll through, where you will find the spacious and inviting swimming pool surrounded by beautiful lawns, trees and gardens. The decked sun terrace is a perfect place to relax, read a book, have an aperitif and take in the pretty views that surround you.
