Château du Mont was originally built in 1641 and later extended in 1726. It showcases a luxurious interior adorned with exquisite marble and parquet floors, elegant wood panelling, and dazzling chandeliers throughout. Set amidst the picturesque Italian gardens, this architectural masterpiece offers a captivating blend of history and opulence. The outdoor terrace provides an idyllic setting for dining, complete with a stunning fountain and breathtaking views of the gardens and the vast estate. The chateau’s layout is enhanced by glass doors at both the front and back, allowing sunlight to shine throughout the entire house, creating an incredible ambiance. Situated in Normandy, near the charming seaside towns of Honfleur and Deauville, and conveniently located within a two-hour drive from Paris and its airports, the chateau enjoys a tranquil location on the outskirts of a quaint village, surrounded by fields, orchards, and breathtaking woodland scenery.
The garden level of the Chateau comprises two primary areas – the kitchen/pantry section and the living/dining area. The latter is composed of a spacious sitting room adorned with a grand fireplace, and a dining room that opens out onto the gardens. The dining room features two large round tables, and there is also a dining area on the terrace.
The ground floor has multiple formal rooms primarily used for entertaining. Three of these rooms open onto the terrace which is perfect for alfresco dining during the summer. The first floor houses three master bedrooms, each equipped with ensuite bathrooms, while the top floor contains six bedrooms and three bathrooms. All bedrooms offer splendid views of the formal gardens and beyond.
The chateau grounds and the wider estate consist of the outer and inner avenues, the formal gardens situated to the rear of the chateau and bordered to the south by the chapel dating back to 1724, the fountain, and the pavilion. The Italian Gardens house six seating areas with stone tables, two of which were initially designed as “outdoor rooms”. The estate also encompasses an orchard and woodland.
Guests of the Chateau can partake in various outdoor activities, including an outdoor swimming pool, table tennis, and engage in local activities such as horse riding, golf, sailing, sand yachting, and tennis.There are also opportunities for exploring the surrounding area and experiencing all that Normandy has to offer including D-Day beaches, The Mont Saint-Michel Abbey, and The Bayeux Tapestry.
Located in Normandy, the chateau is in close proximity to the seaside towns of Honfleur and Deauville, less than 2 hours away from Paris and its airports. Situated on the outskirts of a quaint village and near a bustling market town, the estate is enveloped by fields, orchards, and woodland, creating an idyllic setting for a family celebration.
Guests staying at the Chateau have the opportunity to engage in a range of activities, from swimming in the outdoor pool and playing table tennis to practicing yoga and taking part in local pursuits like horseback riding, golf, sailing, sand yachting, and tennis, making it an ideal location for a retreat.
Both the chateau and the farmhouse are available for rent either together or independently. The chateau can accommodate up to 18 guests, and the farmhouse can accommodate up to 10. Additionally, we can host events for up to 28 people by utilising the entertainment space in the pool house.
With over 2000 acres of lush glens, lochs, wilderness and beaches, guests can enjoy a wide array of activities right on the estate. From a raucous game of woodland laser tag to foraging and fishing, the possibilities of what you can do are almost endless. We’ll take care of all the minute details, coordination and planning for you — you just need to show up for the fun. And, if you want to head off the property for a day, the Portpatrick Dunskey Golf Club, pubs, and village are just a short walk from Dunskey. All activities must be booked at least 30 days prior to arrival.
