Pure magic. The greenhouse in the Orangerie is a dream.
We hosted a milestone birthday here, and it exceeded every expectation. The property is vast yet feels incredibly intimate. The Belvedere was our morning yoga sanctuary, and evenings in the Orangerie by the fireplace were unforgettable. The antique furnishings add so much character. The team handled everything flawlessly for our group of 40.
As a multi-generational family, we found this property ideal. The variety of activities, tennis, cinema, swimming, kept everyone from 8 to 80 entertained. The separate cottage offered flexibility. The kitchens are professionally equipped, and the chefs were a delight. The views are the kind you never tire of.
The perfect blend of historic charm and modern comfort. We loved the antique pieces alongside all the amenities. The home cinema got a lot of use on our one rainy afternoon!
This estate is a masterpiece. We spent two weeks exploring every corner, painting in the Belvedere, reading in the library, swimming under the stars. The chefs used fresh herbs from the garden, and every meal was a celebration. The attention to detail, from the linens to the flower arrangements, was remarkable. It's more than a rental; it's an experience.
