Castle holiday rentals in Europe

Although a little expensive, the views, and being in an Abbey was an amazing experience. We had plenty of room and the apartment had everything we needed including tea! The canal locks were a thrilling surprise to watch when going for coffee or ice cream. Loch Ness cruise was beautiful. Everything you could need from coffee to restaurants and gift shops to convenience store all walking distance but very quiet complex with a city link bus stop 5-6 minute walk to explore the highlands.

A beautiful experience, just what we were looking for, quiet, remote and welcoming. Very restful and a nice breakfast before we left.

Beautiful secluded place on a high hill for a short stay.

The accommodation is exactly as described and Philipp is a friendly and accommodating host who also takes time for questions or the like. The property is ideal to "clear your head." However, you have to be aware that the building is still in progress in parts. So, if you're looking for sleek modernity in the shabby-chic style, you're guaranteed to be disappointed. We just found it great there. AAA+++

I wish we could give more stars. Honestly spectacular in all ways. Perfect for a family trip extremely comfortable accommodations with enough to do we were busy hiking and exploring the gardens and forests and the palace itself. The town is just 2 miles away with great food and shops. So much to do outdoors. Truly spectacular.

We absolutely enjoyed our stay in the castle. It was fun to learn a little bit about the history of the place and know that we were staying in a historic place. I'm very grateful that Viktoria and her husband have opened their home up for guests to stay at. They were both very kind and welcoming. I definitely recommend staying here.

Our stay at Château de Castelnau-Valence was truly magical - like stepping into another century. Surrounded by peaceful nature and vineyards, the château offers a rare blend of history, tranquility and charm. We had the entire place to ourselves, which made it feel even more like our own private castle retreat :) The host was exceptional - friendly, welcoming and clearly passionate about his family’s heritage. He greeted us with the glass of wine and took the time to give us a personal tour of the castle. The apartment was spacious, clean and full of character. Every corner felt special! If you r looking for a unique and peaceful escape with the personal touch and a deep sense of place, I highly recommend!

The most amazing experience! This lovely chateau for the 7 of us travelling in 4 classic cars - true highlight! The bedrooms & en suite bathrooms are spacious comfortable clean. Kitchen well stocked & our groups cozy center point. Parking ample. Everything is roomy & lovely & simply a joy to behold. The true star is host Cue - from the moment of our initial enquire to our departure, she has been incredible! Helpful, professional, clear communications, proactive - full of great ideas & boundless energy to make us feel like chateau royalty. Without hesitation- 5 star recommendation on every aspect!

Beautiful apartment and very well equipped. Such a peaceful location and walking distance to Peebles with a good variety of shops and restaurants. Zowie was very responsive and helpful and went out of her way to help us when we thought we had left something behind! Thanks again for a lovely stay.

Peaceful and serene location .We felt right at home from the start .Our little dog loved the nearby beach and so many beautiful walks to choose from .Excellent location for cycling to Rosslare harbour or Kilmore Quay stopping off at the pub at Lady Island on way home . We will be back !!

We truly enjoyed staying in Maria’s wonderful home. She was very helpful and communicative and provided clear instructions for getting to the house. We would absolutely stay here again!

This was the perfect, unique, location to home base from for visiting Inverness, the Lochness Experience, and Urquhart castle, as well as our highland cow lunch! The host was extremely generous in leaving a small presentation of locally sourced treats to munch on during our stay. We even saw a deer bounding on the property. Wish we had more time here.

‘Le Barn’, in the grounds of Chateau Belebat, is a charming accommodation which is beautifully and tastefully presented by the engaging hosts Jeff and Oscar. It is a peaceful, rural location, ideal as a base from which to explore this area of the Loire by car. For those on 2 wheels, it is worth mentioning the cycle path close by which connects to the local village with the all important Boulanger just 2km away from Le Barn. The nearby town of Richelieu is worth a visit and there are numerous other attractions in the locality. We picnicked by the river, tasted and bought wine in various Chateaux, explored Saumur, Chinon, Amboise, and several smaller villages, discovered charming restaurants, explored local markets and toured some of beautiful Chateaux gardens. Overall a wonderful spot although the little seating area outside Le Barn is not particularly private or comfortable if one wanted to chill/sleep/read a book in complete peace for an hour or two after a hard day sightseeing.

Our party of 11 so enjoyed our stay at the castle! The pictures are extremely accurate, but nothing compared to seeing it in person for the first time. It was stocked with everything we needed, especially everyday things for cooking, towels, blankets, etc. The walk up/down can be tough, but after the first couple of days we adjusted fairly well. All very worth it for such a unique experience and stay!! We also loved exploring the town of Settimo Vittone and the surrounding area. Karl was an excellent host and communicator, as well as Moreno and his wife. :)

The castle was stunning- inside and out. It was better than the pictures! I loved the quaint area. Far enough from big city to get peace, but close enough for a quick drive to smaller towns (down the street), and larger towns within 25 minutes (Stirling). The property is very well maintained and a great experience to live the "castle life". The inside did not disappoint! Every room got better and better. The first bedroom has a classic royal design. It is offset from other rooms and was perfect for my mom to stay in. My husband and I had the master with an ensuite. It was luxurious with robes, slippers, a glass vanity, hair dryer, flat iron, and more! The main area was beautifully decorated and kitchen was stocked with everything we needed. The stairs continuing up the tower led to a fun TV room, another room with stunning views where my teens stayed, and finally the balcony was indescribable. The property manager was a fantastic communicator and we enjoyed being welcomed so warmly!

Celine’s apartment is wonderful- spacious, clean, filled with light from beautiful windows and French doors and in a quiet, pretty village surrounded by an amazing forest. The villages nearby are also exceptionally pretty and there is an impressive castle and chateau nearby. Celine could not be more generous in all that she provides for guests and in her kind assistance. The bed with its luxury linens is super comfortable. A privilege to stay here. I highly recommend this chateau stay.

A beautiful place to stay , with so many extras , felt totally private and loved the use of the outdoor seating area and hot tub . Both me & my wife said it had been one of our favourites, note to others book somewhere to eat if travelling at the weekend. The only ‘extras’ we d of liked would have been robes & slippers but that said that’s being picky . A beautiful find .

We wanted a family evening together to remember and this property delivered! The obviously devoted planning and inspiration to develop such a peaceful setting into a ‘World of Pure Imagination’ was amazing. We sat outside eating and listening to many different species of birds singing! (Identified by the Merlin App). Wi-Fi, knights in armour, banqueting table, debates about whether the grandfather clock was vertical- or the walls, playing games together. Lovely combination of Alexa playing the right music with feeling you’d stepped back to a time before technology, truly the best of both worlds! Thank you.

great place & beautiful garden

Staying at the castle was truly a dream come true! What a magnificent place, and the village and people were so friendly and helpful! Our breakfast was so fresh and tasty every morning, and so plentiful. Staying at LaSassa was one of the highlights of our entire stay in Italy, and you truly felt like a king and queen! The renaissance details, authentic stone, painting and old touches really added to the charm. I was so sad to leave, and would recommend everyone to stay at this truly unique and wonderful place!! It was so nice to be away from the crowds of Rome and Florence, and the view of the Tuscan Valley from the top of the castle was breathtaking! I can’t say enough wonderful things about staying at the castle. Thank you so much Giacomo and staff for your wonderful hospitality, and making our trip to Italy the trip of a lifetime!!

We received good recommendations from Fabienne before arrival and were greeted in a very friendly manner. It was a dreamy feeling to stay in a castle tower. We had brought wood so we could spend the evenings by the fireplace. The decor is so beautiful and everything coordinated. We can only recommend this place!!! We will be happy to come back 👍

Beautiful cottage with everything you could possibly need. Everything has been thought about. Want to sit in the garden but it's a bit chilly, it's ok they have blankets. Want to have a bbq outside, brilliant they have the bbq and kitchen full of utensils and plastic plates, bowels, and cups to prevent breakages. The bathroom is stocked with shampoo, body wash, bath salts, towels... The list is endless with all the extras that come with this cottage. It's clean and tidy. Beds are comfy. There really isn't anything to complain about about. We did 2 nights here and could easily have done more. Thank you 😊

What a beautiful home to spend a week in! Annika was extremely helpful and responsive leading up to the trip as well as during the trip. We had all of our requested fulfilled and enjoyed a wonderful time in the Normandy countryside.

Incredibly beautiful complex, especially recommended for anyone with a dog. We enjoyed it very much and our dog was able to play a lot with the house dog Blanco. The city is easily accessible on foot and the picturesque backdrop of the accommodation is unique. Delfina and her father were always available to us. We would always recommend it. 😊
