Chateau De Neveu France

In the very heart of ‘Purple Périgord’, near Bergerac, sits the Chateau de Neveu, entirely dedicated to food, wine and the pleasure of the five senses!
Built in the early XVIIIth century, surrounded by decorative moats, the chateau is nestled in the midst of a 30 hectare estate of woods and meadow – a true haven of peace and serenity, far from any noise pollution, yet with all modern comfort and amenities that you would expect from a luxury chateau rental.
The Chateau de Neveu was restored in 2006 and features stunning interior decoration with period furniture, historical impressive fireplaces in almost every room, spiral staircases, antique parquets and high ceilings with large chestnut beams.
Daily maid service and pool towels are included in the rental price. To top it all, extra services such as catering, breakfast, baby-sitting, wine tasting and pre-stocked fridge could all be arranged on request. Please enquire for details.

8 hours weekly of maid service, a twice pool cleaning service and a daily upkeep of the park by the gardener is included in the rental price. Baby sitting is available upon request. Contact Excellence Luxury Villas VIP Concierge to arrange.
FAMILIES
We have always had big family groups staying at the chateau since the very first rentals; at each stay we welcome at least 2 or 3 family groups with a minimum of 5 to 8 children.
Families always enjoy both the house itself, which is big enough (450 m2) to host everyone comfortably, and the garden and park which are closed by a large gate, but above all the pool, protected by alarm and shut by a big wooden door not accessible to small children.
The access to the chateau is along a little country road leading to a “cul de sac” that accommodates only two houses, so no nagging fears about the children playing near the road.
