Home description
The beautiful Chateau d'Aune is situated in the Charente region of France in its own extensive grounds with private pool and tennis court. The Chateau d'Aune was rebuilt in the 19th century on the site of the ancient residence of the Seigneur of Dougnes and during the '90s it underwent complete restoration and refurbishment.
Despite its proportions, it has a cosy feel, with charming pepperpot towers adding character to the pretty façade. The facilities at the Chateau d'Aune are superb, including a heated pool, 'plexipave' tennis court and riding stables all on site. Golfers will enjoy the excitement of 'heli-golfing' - a private helicopter can pick you up from the chateau heliport and whisk you onto one of a number of selected golf courses in the Bordeaux/Cognac region.
The surrounding countryside offers endless opportunities for running, hiking and cycling, whilst local rivers, streams and lakes offer fishing, canoeing, kayaking, and even a small lakeside beach. Food and wine is central to the way of life in this region. There are numerous small towns and villages to explore and sample local cuisine or visit ancient castles, churches, museums and lots of outdoor markets.
