Château du Saulce

The Château du Saulce domain is a former Knights Templar commandery founded in 1216 and was taken over by the Order of Malta in the 14th century. The small castle in the Versailles style is from the 18th century and has been entirely renovated, keeping all the elements of the romanticism of its era. Located on the banks of the Yonne river, it is surrounded by a 3 hectare park with remarkable old trees and birds, ponds and a decorated trianon, as well as a modern swimming pool. The castle's interior with ancient furniture and decoration is designed following the clarity of the castles of the Louis XV era, combining authentic atmosphere and modern comfort. You will enjoy the stunning views of the park from all rooms and the high ceilings. Perfect for families, friends, and couples. Your rental comprises most of the castle and its park. You have access to a very large living room, a fully equipped kitchen, four bedrooms (two of which are very large), and four bathrooms. One bedroom is on the first floor, the others are on the second floor. An additional room with a double bed is available upon request.
