About the home

On a Lot Valley hillside, this individual Perigordian style chateau, set in 50 private acres has 9 bedrooms, 7 bathrooms, and features a balustrade L-shaped solar heated pool and domed Jacuzzi. There is also a 5 hole target golf course on site.

The Chateau Joncaises is set in attractive grounds, and with a cruise down the River Lot included in all rentals this is the ideal way to enjoy the surrounding countryside. A large indoor sports complex can also be found within the Chateau Joncaises grounds and an on site beautician is available offering massage, reki and beauty treatments to help make your holiday really special.

15 years in the making (designed and built by the writer/artist owner), the romantic exterior is complimented by neo-classic and ornate interiors, with detailed gilded carvings and carved panelling. Ambience of a bygone age is further reflected by works of art and antiques within the Chateau Joncaises.

Why not have the ultimate relaxing, luxury holiday? Exclusive use of the chateau and all its facilities, and all your meals provided, served and cleared away. Our fully catered package includes:
- Champagne reception on arrival
- Buffet dinner on the first evening
- Continental breakfast
- Buffet lunch
- Afternoon tea (with locally produced pastries)
- Three course evening meal (internationally famous regional cuisine) including wine, served in our salon or on the covered terrace and, on your last evening, a four course, candle-lit meal, with live music.
- Daily maid service
All for only €64 per person per night (in addition to the quoted self catering rental price, based on a minimum of 12 pax sharing).

Facilities

Further details indoors:
The large, carved oak front door leads to a grand hallway from which you will find the living room that offers comfortable sofas around a finely carved fireplace with a large wood burner, satellite TV, DVD player, and multi disc stereo. A huge, carved dining room table seats 16 easily and a grand piano also adorns the room. The kitchen is fully fitted, and includes range cooker with five burners, two ovens and a grill. Twin arches lead through to the breakfast room and the back door leads straight out to the rear terrace and pool. The tower bedroom is round in shape, with two windows and en suite shower room. Wi-Fi internet connection is present in the chateau so people can bring their own laptops.

Stairs from the main hallway lead into a small foyer containing an IT station, sink, and a door leading into a utility room. An archway leads into a round cellar wine bar featuring bespoke, carved centre table and seating for 12, subdued lighting, and a music system. With circular wine racks holding up to 1,000 bottles of local and regional wine, the cellar provides the perfect retreat for conversing, relaxing, or simply sampling the local vintage.

On the first floor there is access to a balcony over the front door, and another balcony and spiral staircase to the south, which overlooks the pool. There are 4 double bedrooms (two of which has an extra single bed). Two of these bedrooms have en suite bathroom facilities and incredible panoramic views of the surrounding countryside.

On the second floor two further double bedrooms can be accessed from the small central landing. These are served by a shower room with a WC and washbasin. Two twin bedded rooms with en suite shower rooms are also on this floor. Each bedroom has wardrobes and more than ample shelving.
