Welcome at Château de Digoine![]() The estateThe estate covers 11-hectare and was designed in the 19th century as an English country garden. Signs of the original garden design are still visible today. The private road that leads to the secluded castle takes one through a forest and passes by a 2-hectare lake.The castleThe castle, which has not been occupied for the past 75 years, has 22 large bedrooms, and many other interesting features, including a chapel and a library. The oldest part dates back to 1233, and the authentic kitchen to 1359. Despite the fact that the castle is in need of serious renovation, it is well worth a tour.The courtyardThe 'Maison de Gardien' (guest rooms) and the 'Maison de Maître' (main house) are situated in the symmetrical courtyard. The houses and the 'jardin a la francaise' were built in the 19th century. The Orangery and the watermill in ruins are situated at the other side of the castle.Guest roomsThe rooms on the first floor of the maison gardinier can be reached by a private stairway.The spacious double and twin rooms have an enchanting view of the lake or the castle. Each has its own bathroom and wc. If necessary, the rooms have enough space to add one or two extra beds. The rooms are furnished with antique furniture, some of which is from the castle. The adjoining garden offers guests full privacy. Maison de BrenetThe holiday home located near the elegant main gate, overlooking the lake, was originally the quarters of the master of the estate's pack of hunting dogs. Full of character, this house is available since 2011, and sleeps two people.Enjoy the peace and quiet of the Digoine estate and its castle. Each season has it's own charms. Because of its sheltered location it is lovely to visit any time of the year. Feel free to roam around the property. Why not take a walk by the lake and at night, admire the stars and listen to the many owls? The owners, a Dutch couple with three children, will offer you French-style hospitality. Hope to have you as our guests. Matthew & Jit Poventud 0033 (0)3 85 49 51 47 |
