Set in 130 acres of ancient woods and parkland in the lush green Périgord region, bordered by the River Dronne, Château Le Mas de Montet is a beautiful Renaissance-style castle, where Président François Mitterrand was a regular guest. Nestled amidst a delightful blend of rolling hills, forest and waterways, the magnificent castle is ideally situated to explore the prestigious wine regions of Bordeaux, Cognac, and Bergerac, with hundreds of famous vineyards and imposing wine châteaux.
And Aubeterre-sur-Dronne, one of "The loveliest Villages of France", is just five minutes away.
Sumptuously appointed with period furnishings throughout, the privately owned Château, recently restored to exacting standards, offers charm, comfort and complete relaxation. The ten suites and bedrooms have been exquisitely appointed, most with supremely comfortable four-poster beds, and with great views of the park. Stylish interior design draws together a unique collection of furniture and objets d'art, ensuring that each room has its own individual character.
The atmosphere is very much that of a country house, with good unpretentious service. The pace of life is relaxed – just like the informal ambience in the elegant Dining Room. Our Chef’s award-winning cuisine specializes in traditional French cooking with the occasional influence from the rest of the world. In the height of summer dinner is often served outside on the terrace.
Beyond the garden with stunning outdoor pool, the grounds of the Château, a haven for wildlife with deer and lots of birds, are here for you to explore.
Visit the colourful markets, outdoor concerts and antiques fairs, enjoy wine and chocolate tasting, take advantage of the relaxing treatments offered by the Château, or choose from a range of activities all on-site or less than ten minutes away: cycling, horse riding, tennis, swimming at the river beach, or at the lake of La Jemaye, fishing or canoeing.
With the Atlantic coast 70 miles to the west, you might even choose to spend a day or two at the sea.
