Château de Lamostonie is one of the loveliest Châteaux in the region and is a perfect place for a memorable holiday with family and friends. The Château is approached up a long private drive. It is surrounded by 35 acres of its own land and is let on an exclusive basis, providing complete privacy. Château de Lamostonie has a Rapunzel tower and a Juliet balcony. The mature gardens have sweet-scented roses, lavender and sweeping lawns. The Château is also warm in winter with roaring log fires in the main reception rooms.
Heated Swimming Pool, Flood-lit Tennis Court
The Château has a large heated swimming pool (15m x 6m) with more garden furniture, a barbeque and a pleasant terrace. There is a recently installed flood-lit hard tennis court with racquets and balls provided.
There are 6 double bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms. Two of the double bedrooms are arranged as suites with an adjoining dressing room or a room where children may sleep as appropriate. There are 4 single bedrooms and additional shower rooms (one with a sit-in shower). The master double bedroom has a romantic balcony. A service lift provides access to the upper floors for those who prefer not to use the stairs or perhaps for a wheelchair.

Dining Room, Music Room, Drawing Room, Chapel, Kitchen, Terraces
Inside the Château there is a magnificent dining room with a huge fireplace for log fires and a large table where parties may dine by candle-light. There is a wood panelled music room with a grand piano and an elegant drawing room. For quiet moments, there is a tiny chapel in the tower, with stained glass windows. The older part of the house has an oak-beamed hall that could be used for larger celebrations, especially in the winter months. It houses a further grand piano and upstairs there is a snug TV room with Video and DVD players. Satellite CNN and BBC World programmes are also available.
There are large new kitchens, fully equipped and with two dishwashers, two ovens and microwaves etc. Although modern, they are in a traditional style, and retain some of the attractive features formerly present such as pretty dressers and a copper hood over the hob. In the kitchen there is an additional table with seating for 6. For those who prefer not to cook, we can arrange for an excellent local chef to prepare your meals.
There are two large terraces, suitable for eating outside, well equipped with garden furniture and easily accessible from the house.
