Press comments

“Chateau de Lartigolle is France’s answer to Babington House. It manages to combine all that is best of France – wonderful food, wine and sun-drenched countryside – with high standards and a metropolitan attitude”

“The house’s style and sheer flair: a Warhol style print blends with more restrained decorations in the clubroom; traditional bateau-lits share bedroom space with Philippe Stark’s ‘Louis XV’ chairs; and there’s funky lighting throughout.”

France magazine

“Le soir, en cuisine, tous s’activent dans la bonne humeur pour preparer des menus délicieux et inventifs à base de produits du marche. Hors norme dans ce coin de la France profonde, ce château tout près d’une forêt magnifique a tout d’un ‘stylish rural hotel’ à l’Anglaise!”

“We drove up the tree-lined drive in a heat wave. There was samba music floating across the courtyard. We were smitten.”

“A sophisticated retreat in which like-minded people come and escape the pressures of their everyday lives in comfortable and stylish surroundings.”

Everything France magazine

“What’s not to like? The rooms are an eclectic mix of old and new French style, the building is a 17th century château that’s pure French elegance, the food’s great and so are the views. At Christmas, the Château is dripping with decorations, roaring fires warm you over dinner in the grand salon and frost clings to the chestnut trees in the courtyard.”
