Situated in a peaceful rural location of Lot-et-Garonne and adjoining Aquitaine and the Dordogne, Chateau Seyches is a light, bright and charming turreted chateau from the early 18th century with beautiful countryside views.

The house sleeps up to 10 guests in total comfort and has five bedrooms, one bathroom and three shower rooms. It is lovingly furnished to a very high standard, with a tasteful mix of antique and contemporary furniture. It is full of period features without sacrificing any homeliness, comfort or charm.

A north facing terrace at the back of the house (as well as the sumptuous acre of grounds surrounding the house) provide plenty of sunny and shaded outdoor space. This is one chateau that's primarily designed to be flexible - there are plenty of areas for play, where families can enjoy each other’s company, as well as quieter nooks for those who prefer to read a book or snooze in peace.

Set in three hectares of grounds and farmland, Chateau Seyches boasts stunning country views. The house is surrounded by its gardens and mature trees, and the pool faces south to ensure it gets as much of the glorious French sunshine as possible!

Oliver Approved

What you should know…

  • It's an old building with high ceilings, so there's lots of stairs - but there is accommodation on the ground floor for those who might be challenged by a staircase.
  • The rural location means the driveway is adjacent to a farm.
  • The nearest village is 2km away.

This home is a part of our Great Value and Heritage Collection!

This is a historic home, and as such:

  • It has probably been standing for over 100 years, which means it's full of historic value and charm but it may also have one or two quirks!
  • Some of the decor and furnishings may not be brand new, but that should not detract from your holiday experience in this unique setting that allows you to take a step back in time!

    We absolutely love this corner of the world and our stay at Chateau Seyches has been absolutely perfect. A 'very significant birthday' was celebrated with friends and family from Australia, England and USA. We couldn't have wished for a better environment, better company, better views... and wow! better catering provided by the fabulous Sylvie and Pascal. Memories have been created. Thank you

  • What a place!!!

    on 26/11/2014

    Dear Rahul,
    Thanks once again for sharing Chateau Seyches with us, it is a very special place.
    There are many but in particular the whole house had a good vintage ambience and the simplicity of the furnishings enhanced this. The use of a big mirror in the sitting room worked well. We all particularly liked the second sitting room study. The use of natural hard floors with rugs enhance the very grounding feel the house has and this made us relax and enjoy. Beds very comfortable.
    Beds, linen and towels were of great quality and so too the kitchen cooking options - range and induction hob in particular. Bathrooms were great too and the pool furnishings very comfortable!
    Sonos was a bonus too...we are now converts to this form of listening to music having experienced it at Chateau Seyches.
    In summary a lovely holiday home, welcoming and relaxing with a sense of antiquity.
    A nice touch to share the house guide ahead of time, so we could hit the ground running.
    Overall an idyllic and very special rental, which we look forward to return to in 2015.
    Thanks again for your most kind help and attentiveness...it was much appreciated. The level of personal care from you made the property feel more than just a rental and more like the home of a friend. thank you.
    Best regards!
