MAKE A SHORTLIST THAT WORKS

The useful differences.

There are 100 named listings in this collection. Of these, 99 have a supported guest figure, ranging from 40 to 500. 100 record overnight places. Missing figures are left out of comparisons.

Start with the overnight plan

The largest recorded sleeping totals in this collection include Domaine Le Mezo (240), Château Fleur du Ciel (189) and Château du Feÿ (160). These are capacity comparisons, not recommendations or confirmed room availability.

Keep your visits close together

The recorded locations include Juillac, Arles, Vallery and Castelnaud-la-Chapelle. Open the map before arranging visits; a shared collection label does not mean the properties are close enough for one day.

Compare the same hire period

92 listings have supported starting prices, from €2,500 to €48,800. Read the package wording on each page before comparing: nights, rooms, meals and staffing can differ.
