Chateau Les Tourelles at Nouvelle-Aquitaine in Carlux | Villa in Carlux

As featured in Vogue! As you approach Château Les Tourelles along the incredible driveway you will be in awe of the beauty around you as the hill rises, surrounded by acres of woodland and glorious views of the Dordogne valley and river. Yet it’s not just the setting of this 17th château that will inspire you – step inside and discover a luxuriously appointed fairy-tale castle that will exceed your expectations in so many ways. The new owners of Château Les Tourelles have recently transformed this hilltop castle into a place of remarkable period charm, retaining so many historic features whilst modernising each of the nine sumptuous en suite bedrooms. Gather with family and friends in the grand salon with its extraordinary furnishings and ancient paintings, prepare feasts fit for royalty in the fully modernised vaulted kitchen, then dine by candle-light beneath the medieval chandelier in the original period dining room. Upstairs, seek solitude in the incredible library with its historic bookshelves and leather furnishings – it even features a desk where it’s said that in the early 19th century the US Ambassador to France wrote letters to the then President of the USA. There are nine air-conditioned bedrooms, each one splendidly themed and beautiful modern bathrooms have been added. Look out for one of the bedrooms inspired by Versailles with opulent furnishings, triple plush carpets and marble tiling, another with original tapestry wallpaper and 18th century artwork or admire the bedroom designed in the colours of Provence with a romantic stand-alone bath with 360 degrees valley views. The Royal Suite is possibly the most magnificent with its stain glass windows, original stencilled walls and a grand copper bathtub. Outside, dine al-fresco in the inviting courtyard, relax by the cliff-side swimming pool and wander around the glorious gardens taking in the mesmerising views of the Dordogne valley. The 32-hectare estate also includes vast woodland, old stone walls and the ruins of an ancient church up on the hill. Follow the private hiking paths through the forest, discovering flora, fauna and maybe even wild boars. Walk down to the banks of the Dordogne river for a picnic in idyllic surroundings. To add to the sense of luxury, VIP services can be arranged from a champagne reception to daily breakfasts and a chef service. You can even be picked up by a helicopter and taken straight to your castle or luxury car transfers can be booked. Picnic hampers, cooking classes, wine-tasting at the château and even truffle hunting in the late autumn; the welcoming caretakers onsite will help you achieve the holiday of your dreams. You are perfectly positioned to explore the Perigord Noir and all its allure. Gastronomic restaurants are within a short drive and some of the region’s most idyllic villages and towns are close by such as Domme, La Roque-Gageac and Sarlat. Visit endless châteaux, delightful markets, pre-historic caves and beautiful gardens - there is so much to see and do in this enchanting region. In an astounding location in the Dordogne, this really is the ultimate luxury French château experience.
