About the home

A Luxury 18th Century Watermill in Private Gated 20 Acres with Heated Private Pool.

The Moulin du Chateau is tucked away in a stunningly beautiful setting . This 18th Century converted watermill is a paradise for those in search of an idyllic retreat. Situated in the ' Parc Naturel Regional de la Brenne ' , the mill overlooks the ANGLIN RIVER and has its own private river frontage and 20 acres of private gated grounds for mill guests only, complete with 2 free boats and two small private islands. This very comfortable accommodation in beamed rooms, with the added attraction of swimming in the landscaped, private heated Chateau pool with diving board and Jacuzzi next door, makes this a marvellous holiday destination. The Anglin River and surrounding area is a Haven for birds ( ducks,heron, kingfishers, pheasant, partridge,etc. ) and Heaven for fishermen with its 15 types of fish ( trout, carp, perch, pike, tench, etc. ). There are interesting medieval towns, villages and Chateaux close by. You can whet your appetite on the delicious delicacies at the local restaurants. The friendly Anglo-American Chateau owners will give you a warm welcome.

Guestbook for MOULIN du CHATEAU

*****Enjoyed-location, wildlife, weather, wine and food. Visited St. Savin, Chauvigny, Angles-sur-Anglin, Fontgombault Abbey & Oradour to name but a few. Holiday over too quickly.--Mr. & Mrs. Owen Darling
*****Had a wonderful two weeks at the Mill, wonderful place to unwind and relax with the family. Managed to catch almost twenty fish but the big pike proved too elusive. Eating out we have been spoiled for choice. St. Savin, Le Blanc and Chauvigny all have great restaurants. Some of the highlights for visiting must be Futuroscope, Chauvigny Castle and Abbey, Le Blanc's market on Saturday and the boat to cruise up and down the river. Thank you for your help and hospitality.--Guy Miller and Family
*****My wife and I planned a gastronomic week but we have enjoyed our time around the mill so much that we have eaten in every evening. I am glad we brought the binoculars, otherwise we would not have enjoyed the wild life as much.-- David Dunsmuir
