About This Villa

Château Crystal is a luxurious 19th-century château rental in a magnificent 105-acre estate located in the western part of the Loire Valley. It is surely one of the most spectacular château rentals in France, offering a 22-acre private recreational lake for boating or fishing, a tree-canopied island with an antique gazebo for weddings, alongside a private swimming pool, 9-hole golf course and tennis court.

Imagine gathering for meals on the lakeside terrace, atmospherically lit up in the evening, or enjoying long walks across palatial lawns and woodland within the vast grounds. All in one of the most idyllic private settings you'll ever see! Wine tasting, golf, horseback riding, cycling, hot air ballooning, river boat tours, museums, churches, restaurants, shopping and much more are all nearby.

The château has been extensively renovated and sumptuously decorated with beautiful antiques and rich fabrics. Although majestic with its dramatic, double carved-stone stairway in the entrance hall, and elaborate 16.5 foot ceilings throughout the main floor, the château is warm and welcoming. A lift serves all four floors providing easy access to the reception rooms, dining rooms, chapel and the gorgeous en-suite bedrooms available for guests.

Château Crystal can host up to 28 guests across its 14 bedrooms. Just a short walk across the gardens, there are two apartments in a separate building, simpler in style yet ideal for an additional 10 guests. This allows the whole estate to sleep a maximum of 38 guests, perfect for extended family holidays, a celebration with friends or a romantic Loire wedding.

Guests may choose to self-cater or make the most of the château’s delicious catering services including wine & hors d'oeuvres tastings, champagne brunches, hog roasts as well as fine French dining, served in the dining rooms, courtyard terrace or beside the lake.

This is a superb location for exploring the western Loire region of France. Just a short drive away, Grez-Neuville, voted the region's prettiest village, enchants with its riverside charm and scenic walks along the Mayenne, while the historic city of Angers, 25km south, offers a captivating mix of medieval splendour and modern culture, crowned by the imposing Château d’Angers and its world-famous Apocalypse Tapestry. With all it has to offer, a stay at Château Crystal will be an exceptional experience for you and all your guests!
