Nestled in the rolling countryside of Lot-et-Garonne, Château Romance is an authentic family castle offering a comfortable stay amidst breathtaking surroundings.
Dating back to the 17th century, this château, once a hunting retreat frequented by the King of France, now holds the status of a ‘Patrimonie de France’. Much of its original charm has been lovingly preserved by the owners, blending a rich sense of history with subtle modern conveniences. Elegant silk wallpapers, luxurious fabrics, and grand paintings, alongside original 18th and 19th-century features, contribute to the château’s historic allure.
Picture yourself savoring morning coffee in the elegant salon, gazing out of triple-aspect French windows onto the splendid gardens. Or imagine preparing breakfast in the recently renovated kitchen-diner, boasting a sleek kitchen island and a characterful fireplace. A formal dining room adorned with historic artwork provides the perfect setting for candle-lit feasts by the roaring fire.
Eight thoughtfully decorated bedrooms, six featuring king-size beds, offer individual style and charm. The master bedroom on the second floor, with its canopied bed and freestanding claw-foot tub in the ensuite bathroom, exudes regal elegance, offering panoramic views of the Lot-et-Garonne landscape.
Tranquility and privacy abound in this special place, whether strolling through the vast enclosed parkland or finding solace among the colorful flowers in the meticulously maintained gardens. Relax by the deep salt-water swimming pool, admiring the backdrop of the historic château, or unwind poolside amidst the fragrant scents of rosemary and lavender.
Surrounded by panoramic views of rolling countryside and vineyards, this is an idyllic retreat. Yet, within a five-minute drive lies a charming village with a bakery, butcher, supermarket, and several cafes and restaurants. In summer, enjoy supervised swimming at the village’s river beach or venture to a nearby village on the River Lot to rent pedalos and canoes.
Explore local villages and towns on market days to discover the region’s gastronomic delights. Don’t miss the lively night markets in July and August, offering a feast for the senses with food stalls, live music, and local wine. Wine enthusiasts will delight in the variety of vineyards across the Lot-et-Garonne.
Venture further afield to explore picturesque villages such as Castelmoron-sur-Lot and Villeneuve-sur-Lot, or immerse yourself in the historic charm of Agen and Marmande. Nearby Dordogne offers enchanting destinations like Monflanquin and Monpazier, while Bergerac and Bordeaux beckon with their renowned vineyards and cultural attractions.
