The grand central stairs lead to two more floors of exquisitely decorated, oversized bedrooms and suites equipped with beautifully and recently renovated bathrooms and lounge areas. The renovation boasts high quality finishes and modern facilities. The original character shines through in the vaulted ceilings, large windows, plasterwork and gorgeous original floors. You enter into the chateau's princely hall with fine mosaic floors and sweeping staircase from which the reception rooms fan out. The ground floor boasts chateau-high ceilings, multiple living areas, kitchen facilities and an entry to the wine cellars below (dressed to provide a perfect setting for wine tasting meetings) You walk out to the south-facing aspect of the chateau onto a lengthy and elegant covered terrace on one side and enclosed orangerie to the other which serves as a perfect spot for breakfast.
