CHÂTEAU DES SÉNÉCHAUX

Beau cadre.
Deux châteaux se font front dans un face à face étrange pour deux périodes différentes

Superb accommodation in a chateau overlooking the river Dronne. We stayed in the dog friendly garden Pavilion next to the river. Extremely comfortable, spacious and well equipped (with a log burner for cooler nights), with a huge private garden and river promenade. Kay was a wonderful and helpful host, and nothing was too much trouble, with bookings made for meals out and great suggestions for things to do and places to visit. A fantastic place to stay, and I hope we’ll get the chance to do so again in future.

Kay was a perfect host, extremely kind and helpful. The castle and the location are amazing. It is like being on a film set. Very beautiful. The wild swimming in the river is just 50m away from the castle (take some old trainers to make getting in and out easy). Lots of great places to visit near by - there are many villages with little beaches - Aubeterre-sur-Dronne, L’Isle, Brantome. We took our electric car and the charging point in the village (again 50m away) was generally fine. It’s a lot easier if you buy a Chargemap rfid card before you go to France. We had the best time.

Excellent view over the terrace, great location, warm and very considerate host, feels at home.

The Senechaux suite is one of three available to guests at the chateau. Also in the chateau, in the building opposite the suite, live the owners themselves - a hospitable couple from Great Britain who bought an abandoned castle, renovated it and literally turned it into a piece of art. The suite is very beautiful, comfortable, decorated with exceptional authenticity and taste, both overall and down to the last fork and glass. The suite has a large area, a lot of air and sunlight, and has both sunny sides and shade. It is comfortable both in hot weather (there are fans on each floor) and in cool weather (radiators and a fireplace). There is also space for relaxation inside the chateau: a terrace and a lounge area. Around: a green square, an authentic restaurant with fusion cuisine (it’s delicious!), a castle museum with a well-kept garden.||The hosts, Kay and David, are always and exceptionally friendly, always ready to help and proactively suggesting interesting locations and sights to see and restaurants to try. We had a case when we ordered a taxi that was supposed to take us to the train station, and it broke down just 5 minutes before reaching us. Having known this, Kay brought us to the station in her car. She also makes very tasty breakfasts ))||The village itself is small but very beautiful. And despite its size, it has several good restaurants, from home-style fusion cuisine to a Michelin-marked restaurant. From the chateau to any place in the village (shop, restaurants) - 5 minutes maximum by walk, a beautiful picturesque river flows through the entire city. We would love to come here again!
