Newly-married or not, you’ll be enchanted by this romantic retreat in the South of France. Little has changed here in almost 500 years except a light and lovely update of conveniences and comfort while you're enveloped by a rich history.

Situated on the grounds of the stately Chateau D’Arnac, a 15th-century fairytale chateau, the Honeymoon Cottage has been sensitively restored into a sweet rental for couples or small groups. Each room in the house has been filled with luxurious details such as chic wallpaper, elegant fabrics, antique furniture, and high-end linens.

This three-story former gatehouse, is set on a small lake (with the burbling river nearby) where guests can enjoy dining al fresco on the wooden deck overlooking the lake or in the private garden. 

The ground floor contains a cozy sitting room with large Inglenook fireplace where you can snuggle up in front of a roaring log fire and the adjacent tower houses the fully-equipped kitchen. 

The second floor features another sitting room and ultra-luxurious bedroom with en-suite bathroom with a double ended tub. The Bridal Suite (with en-suite bath) is on the third floor and features an amazing exposed, arched timber roof and romantic four poster canopied bed with outfitted in luxurious goose down.

When not relaxing in your very own fairytale home, try your hand at archery, croquet, or hot air ballooning, all of which can be arranged to take place right on the grounds of the Chateau.
