Villa Chateau II is a beautiful 12th to 17th century castle that is an ideal venue for your private event. Built in the neo-gothic style on medieval fortifications, this stunning castle is surrounded by a wet moat and has a front and rear drawbridge. The castle has had a checkered history and was involved in the Breton succession wars ending in 1420 and the Vendée wars in 1793. Situated on 40 acres of verdant land, this property is abundant with charm and beauty. For an exclusive event fit for a King or Queen, Villa Chateau II has exactly what you are looking for.
Villa Chateau II is located 367 km (229 miles) west of Paris along the Loire River, in the Western Loire Region of France. It can easily be accessed by car (3.5 hour drive from Paris), high-speed TGV train to Nantes station (2 hours from Paris), or regional flights to Nantes.
The Chateau has 16 luxury bedroom suites in the castle, furnished with beautiful period pieces and decorated with antique tapestries and artwork. Each bedroom suite is custom decorated and exquisitely furnished with a combination of French-sourced antiques and imported case goods, hand-made upholstery and luxurious bedding. We import high-end pillow-top mattresses, goose down duvets and pillows and 280+ thread-count sheets. All bedroom suites have a full private en suite bathroom. Such improvements were made while preserving the original character and charm of the castle architecture. Combining the historic features of the castle with our luxurious furnishings provides for a unique guest experience. There are two glorious grand salons in the main castle (Salon Fleurie and Salon Neptune), each one accommodating 40 or more people. The grand salons are adorned with 15th century stone-carved monumental fireplaces, hand-painted ceilings, oak parquet flooring and lead-ribbed windows. There is also a magnificent knight’s hall (Salle de Chevalier), which can accommodate 100 or more people. The knight’s hall has a monumental fireplace and an amazing oak-beamed cathedral ceiling.
