A magnificent place to relax with the opportunity to explore the Dordogne, the Charente, and the Bordeaux region. Château Le Mas de Montet, a beautifully restored Renaissance château. Président François Mitterrand - a regular guest.

Sumptuously appointed with period furnishings throughout, the privately owned Château provides elegant luxury, comfort and complete relaxation. Château Le Mas de Montet is set in 130 acres of parkland and ancient woodland, bordered by the River Dronne.

This is where the Périgord Vert and the South Charente meet, a delightful blend of rolling hills, forest and waterways. Aubeterre-sur-Dronne, one of 'Les Plus Beaux Villages de la France', is just five minutes away. A magnificent place to relax with the opportunity to explore the Dordogne, the Charente, and the Bordeaux region.

Your stay is complemented by a choice of a wide range of dermalogical treatments, massages and revitalising techniques.

The castle has undergone 3 years of renovation works to be brought up to date and offer even more modern bathrooms.

The stylish decor is made up of a unique collection of objets d'art and furniture, and each room has its own character and style. The curtains and bed-hangings are made using fabrics from fabric traders like Osborne & Little, Zoffany, Titley & Marr and Sanderson.

The 10 suites and bedrooms are located on the 1st and 2nd floor of the castle. They all feature unique design and furnishings and they offer beautiful views overlooking the park or garden.

Most of the rooms have 4-poster beds. Every bed is made up of luxuriously pocketed spring mattresses, fine Egyptian cotton bed linen, and duvets.

The contemporary bathrooms are equipped with bright white Villeroy and Boch fittings, luxurious toiletries such as Essenza Di Zegna, by Italian fashion house Ermenegildo Zegna, or Pure White Indulgence, from The White Company. Sumptuous Velour bathrobes and complimentary slippers are also included.

Château Le Mas de Montet's unique position allows it to draw on a rich gastronomic heritage and the fine local produce of the Périgord and the Charente regions, both of which are complemented by the world-class wines of the Bordeaux region and the increasingly excellent Bergerac wines.

You can enjoy delicious gourmet cuisine and a 4-course meal that changes every day in the refined setting of the dining room.

"Toutvent", the family home of Président François Mitterrand is within a stone's throw of Château Le Mas de Montet. He loved this region and in later years he gravitated to it, to restore a sense of peace and tranquility. He frequently stayed at the Château, appreciating its calm to contemplate affairs of state, conduct private meetings with his ministers and walk his Labradors in the Grande Allée.
