Less than one hour and a half far from Paris and from the castles of the Loire Valley, this beautiful and grand estate offers several prestigious places to rent : The main castle, the cottage and the loft in the outbuildings

Every detail of the castle, masterpiece of elegance and refinement, will take you back to the romantic era of the 18th century’s aristocracy.
The castle offers 11 bedrooms, 6 bathrooms which can accommodate up to 15 people maximum (due to security fire rules) and several living rooms ( dining rooms, large lounge, office).
The rooms in the castle, elegantly decorated, have kept their original furniture, panelling and wooden floors.
The castle is located in the middle of a huge park with hundred-year-old trees, a heated swimming pool and a vegetable garden nestled in a nice French-style garden. Everything is meant for leisure and rest.

The cottage in the outbuildings – 12 sleeps
Within the outbuildings, a former 19th century’s artist’s studio has been converted into a cosy cottage.
The cottage is composed at the ground floor by a large cozy and refined living room with central fireplace and a full equiped kitchen. Upstairs, you will enjoy the 3 large bedrooms and 2 bathrooms which can accommodate up to 12 people.
A magnificent 19th century mural fresco painted by the artist Albin Haudos de Possesse, an ancestor of the owner in one of the rooms of the lodging, adds to the charm of the authentic and warm place.

The chateau is stunning, and was the best possible venue for our celebration. The hosts were beyond welcoming to our loved ones, and we were floored by the beauty of the property.The catering was a big hit— our guests said it was some of the best food they had during their travels. An excellent destination for a larger group, we had plenty of space and many location options for different events. The additional activities made it so easy for relax into the weekend. I highly recommend a stay at Chateau de Bouthonvilliers, and we’ll certainly be back!

The Chateau and property were truly breathtaking. We stayed a week and had the perfect time with our large group of 30 people. The owners were the best hosts, very helpful and caring. Such history and a great space. Will definitely be coming back!
