Save to favouritesPrintMailChateau Rigaud15 minutes' drive from wine Mecca, St Emilion, gets you to Chateau Rigaud. It's a big pad with thick stone walls, ancient timber staircases and fireplaces dating back to the 15th century. English owners, Anna and Andrew Barwick, revamped the place back in 2006 and have been evolving it ever since. Their latest refurbishment took place in 2011. Their energy and gusto continues unabated. 9 large [r:FR071:bedrooms] show boutique panache: off piste Farrow and Ball colours, silk and velvet curtains, roll top baths, Ren products and 400 thread count sheets. The professional chef's kitchen in theatre style invites guests to pull up their stalls and watch the master at work. Outside there's acres of space: pretty rose gardens, wildflower meadows, fenced heated pool and productive vegetable garden to feed the kitchens. Rigaud makes a great private rental - for a weekend or longer, with a first class private chef, waitresses and housekeeping included with every booking as well as optional childcare and spa therapist. It would also make a fabulous venue for a sumptuous French wedding, catering for up to 100 guests for the main meal. For those who want just a room, they run house parties on certain dates: pitch up, enjoy good food, free-flowing wine and chats with like-minded guests. House Parties come in different flavours: Wine Weekends for budding oenologists; Family Breaks for stressed out parents; Birthday Party Weekends to give yourself a 3 night splurge without the hassle of catering yourself. This is not a hotel: don't expect minibars or room TVs; instead help yourself to drinks from the bar and catch a movie in the private cinema. Laid back, reassuringly spontaneous. We love it.
