One-off feature |
|
| |
Experience a bit of film star lifestyle at this unique Chateau. With a guest list that includes some very big names, the reason Chateau de la Couronne is not in the gossip mags more often is down to the discretion and privacy provided by the owners Nicky and Mark. With backgrounds in fashion and TV they have created a trendy oasis of urban chic in a traditional ancient French Chateau. |

General Info |
|
| |
Ornate antiques rub shoulders with abstract modern art, 60s and 70s design icons and commissioned pieces, all framed by the Chateau’s immaculately restored original features. There is sleeping accommodation for up to 26 in individually designed and furnished bedrooms, and the bathrooms are completely over the top – some with two baths, some utilising the Chateau Turrets. There are three voluminous salons for guest use, one with a bar, one with a baby grand piano. And if that’s not enough, there is also a Private Cinema, a Billiard Room, a Music Area with guitars, amps and keyboards and a games room. Outside in the 5 acres of private grounds are two terraces with tables and parasols, and a 14.5m heated swimming pool nestled amongst the mature trees. Adjoining the Dining hall is a huge professional Restaurant Kitchen for you to play Chef in. And if being Jamie gets too much, professional caterers can provide as many or as few meals as you wish. |
