Charente

In a quiet and private position along the river Vienne we find this exquisite medieval château with park. The property features over 2,000 m² of livable surface with a total of 24 bedrooms and 22 bathrooms and is currently working as a luxury boutique hotel. The park, designed by a famous Italian landscape architect, covers roughly 34,000 m² and accommodated a heated 12 × 6 m swimming pool.
