About this castle / palace rental
Authentic late 16th-century Renaissance château on 14th-century foundations, fully walled with 35m*55m courtyard, 4 towers and keep.
Set in 6 hectares of parkland and meadows with century-old trees.
The château has 550m² of living space and features several monumental fireplaces, numerous painted ceilings and walls, a monumental central stone staircase, high ceilings (3.50m) etc...
It was completely renovated in 2009/12, in keeping with its original features (underfloor heating), and offers all modern comforts (internet, TV, heated swimming pool, etc.).
It comprises 3 living rooms, a large dining room, a very large modern kitchen (2 dishwashers, 1 microwave, 1 steam oven, 2 conventional ovens) with central island and lava stone top, and a dining area with wrought-iron table seating 10.
The 6 bedrooms (and 3 bathrooms) can comfortably accommodate 14 people.
The château boasts a number of facilities and games, including pinball, a 2.90m*1.45m pool table, boules, badminton, table tennis, bicycles, etc., as well as a 12m x 5m swimming pool secured by a motorized roller shutter and a wrought-iron fence, a magnificent tree house in the heart of the park, and two 16th-century dovecotes.
The château is also home to hens and ducks, sheep and geese, and produces its own honey thanks to its numerous beehives.
It's also just a few kilometers from a quiet, historic town of 6,000 inhabitants, which offers all the advantages of grocery stores, local produce markets, etc., and is close to a horse-riding center and a 60-hectare, 18-hole golf course.
Château de l'Herbaudière is a friendly, family-run residence, ideal for vacations or retreats with family and friends.

Our stay at the Chateau was wonderful. The property is even more beautiful in person.
Jean Louis was a great host and very helpful.
I couldn’t fault our stay in anyway.
The property has clearly been restored with love and care, we were all amazed at just how magnificent it was.
There was so much space inside and out. All of the rooms were really comfortable and a pleasure to spend time in.
The heated swimming pool and grounds were loved by everyone and the electric shutter on the pool gave me peace of mind as we had a toddler with us.
The kids loved feeding the chickens and collecting eggs for breakfast.
Although the chateau is in the countryside it’s only a few minutes by car or a 15 minute or so walk to a fantastic boulangerie.
Also a short drive away is the town of Saint-Maixent-l'École that has everything that you could possibly need, supermarkets, restaurants etc.
However we spent most of our time at the Chateau as it was so amazing, we didn’t want to leave. The kitchen was superb and well equipped so we were happy to cook and dine in such a unique, special property.
Thank you Jean Louis for giving us the opportunity to stay in your home. We hope to return again

Malgré un temps maussade, nous avons passé une très bonne semaine grâce aux nombreux équipements de la maison : piscine, billard... mention spéciale pour le flipper !

Passer une semaine au château de l'Herbaudière c'est vivre des jours comme on a oublié qu'ils pouvaient en exister. Un privilège que nous nous sommes offert en famille dans un cadre bien plus agréable que celui imaginé avant d'arriver. Top !

Magnifique demeure avec beaucoup de cachet. Lieu idéal pour séjour familial. Cour fermée et sécurisé. Magnifique piscine, cuisine très fonctionnelle. De façon générale, beaucoup d'espace, beau parc avec arbres fruitiers. Lieu retiré et très calme.
