A Writer's View has been inspiring minds since the end of the sixteenth century when it was just a stone house, but it's grown a lot since then. The six hectares of land that surround it have changed little in comparison to the luxury it now offers, but you can still get the same serene feeling when you walk along the pond where you can say hi to the resident swan Lorenza. This home isn't just beautiful — it is environmentally conscious and committed to recycling, and if you're travelling with a demanding group, a large variety of extra services can be arranged to make your stay truly five-star. You can hire a chef to take over the big and bright kitchen for one or more meals per day, book a maid and fridge stocking service, babysitters, and more. When all of this is taken care of, put your feet up and relax, watching the green unchanging views from the comfort of the regal salon. All of the bedrooms are en-suite, so you have an extra layer of privacy and autonomy that's essential during large family gatherings.

Home truths

    The house rules are quite strict — no smoking and no parties anywhere on the premises

    You'll need a car to get around the area comfortably — the public transport isn't frequent enough

    There are unfenced bodies of water on the estate, so the host advises extra vigilance with children

About France

You could easily take a lifetime’s worth of French holidays and still feel like you haven’t scratched the nation’s surface. The most visited country in the world, France has long inspired artists, revolutionaries, dreamers, and bons vivants with its storybook landscapes, artistic treasures, and cultural idiosyncrasies. Paris is, of course, the country’s glittering centrepiece but there are countless beauty spots worth discovering outside of the City of Light. Sun yourself...

Host


This home is managed by Oliver

This home is managed directly by a business. A member of their staff will be your point of contact before and during your stay. Nearly twenty years ago, Oliver and his friend began curating the world's most unique and rustic getaways. Driven by their own unforgettable experience at a chateau, they have grown remarkably since then. Much like Plum, they believe in hand-picked luxury that doesn't break the bank.

This home is nominated for the Plum Guide Award.
