Chateau of Castel Novel ****
19240 VARETZ
Opened all the year

Description

The Château of Castel Novel, perched on a rock from Perigord, dates from XIIIth and XVth centuries. The "Orangerie" was built during the XVIIIth century. The Cottage and the "Biscaye" room, close to the swimming pool, are there to complement one another in order for you to enjoy staying in this hotel. The château de Castel Novel has travelled across the centuries since medieval times and has seen the passing of many great men throughout the History of France. Still retaining something of its initial function as a fortress, it has developed over the years to adapt to the requirements of each era. The 27 bedrooms and suites are all beautifully maintained with each one personalised: for example, the Louis XVI apartment which was Colette's room, the Louis XIII round bedroom in the turret with exposed beams, duplex with wooden stairs to the children bedroom...
