Chateau St Laurent - Private tower within a 15th C chateau with pool
Chateau/Castle with 6 Bedrooms, Sleeps 10, Garden, Swimming Pool
This charming private tower of the magnificent 15th century Chateau St Laurent can be exclusively hired for groups of up to 10. The 7 hectare estate is situated in the foothills of the Cevennes and even has its own private waterfall that guests are free to swim in.
The Chateau St Laurent itself comprises several self-contained apartments but each one has its own private drive, garden and swimming pool. The main garden leads out from the chateau sitting room and contains a pretty dining terrace, overlooking the swimming-pool and set against the backdrop of a stunning vista of the surrounding countryside.
We can arrange airport pick-ups, cleaning, baby-sitting and cooking to any level of service to suit your needs.
The property is a private tower that makes up part of a very large chateau that has been divided up in to separate apartments, each of which is totally private with its own personal garden and pool. There is shared access to the rest of the estate including the river and waterfall. The property is equipped to sleep up to ten guests with space to add additional beds if needed.
The fully furnished kitchen comes with washing machine, microwave, fridge-freezer etc. The expansive sitting room and dining area is situated next to the kitchen on one side and on the other is the enormous rear terrace that seats 12 guests comfortably and overlooks the pool and surrounding countryside. The living room comes complete with TV, DVD player, VCR and sound system.
There are two big double bedrooms, two “lovers” bedrooms with single beds that are comfortable enough for two (both rooms have wash basins), two twin bedrooms and additional beds and sofas that are available for younger guests if necessary. All the bedrooms overlook the fountain and hills with two looking onto the magnificent waterfall. The tower also has two bathrooms and two separate WCs.
Outside in the garden is the private pool, the river (suitable for fishing) and the waterfall that is also great to swim in. In addition there is a forest of palm trees, the Cevennes national park, a typical French garden and plenty of outdoor parking with space for one car under cover. A tennis court can be found just a 2 minute walk away.
