New Aquitaine

In the heart of the Dordogne, a short distance from Bordeaux and the famous village of Saint-Émilion, stands this magnificent medieval castle, which was expanded in the 17th century and has now been restored to its former glory thanks to an impeccable renovation.

Nestled in a landscape of extraordinary beauty, amidst rolling hills, forests, and charming villages, the property offers a rare blend of history, elegance, and contemporary comfort. Every detail has been meticulously attended to, preserving the original architectural elements while seamlessly integrating them with the latest technologies.

The castle (800 m²) spans multiple levels and features spaces that are both grand and warmly inviting. The rooms on the ground floor stand out for their authentic atmosphere: terracotta floors, period fireplaces, and an extraordinary Valcucine kitchen, fully equipped and overlooking the terrace, ideal for convivial moments outdoors. Particularly striking is the circular dining room, inspired by Arthurian lore, designed to welcome guests in a unique setting.

The upper floors feature elegant living rooms, bright bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms, and spaces dedicated to relaxation and reading, including a refined loft-style library and a private bar. The spaces, enriched with custom-made furnishings and connected by a spectacular handcrafted staircase, offer a perfect balance between grandeur and intimacy.

To complement the main residence, the property features significant outbuildings: a large, finely restored barn, ideal for events, exhibitions, or housing collections, and a long agricultural building with multiple potential uses, perfect for conversion into guest quarters, stables, or wellness spaces.

The grounds, spanning over 44 hectares, guarantee absolute privacy and offer breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside. Within the grounds, there is also a 12 × 6 m swimming pool, a tennis court, and a distinctive 17th-century dovecote, a testament to the estate’s history.

Furnishings available separately.

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.
