Domaine des Etangs, Auberge Collection
Massignac, Poitou-Charentes, France · Virtuoso · 2026 benefits
Domaine des Etangs, Auberge Resorts Collection offers a truly unique hotel experience. The largest 5 star resort in mainland France, it expands over 1000 hectares of protected natural surroundings, a mixture of forests, grassland and ponds. It is an exceptional landscape, consisting of a fully renovated 13th century chateau, along with numerous works of contemporary art, landscaped gardens, six farmhouse cottages, a longere, a vegetable garden, Gallo-Roman baths, two swimming pools, a floating tennis court and a locally-sourced restaurant. Yet the initial impression of untamed nature soon reveals signs of the skilled and patient hand of craftsmen who have shaped a world in equilibrium.…
Refined, relaxed, and utterly remarkable, the 29-room Domaine des Etangs is French country living at its best. The 13th-century castle, located just a few hours outside Paris and Bordeaux, reigns over forests, gardens, and bucolic farmland, complete with grazing cows. In the living room, family portraits hang alongside Picassos and other artworks from the owner’s collection. Dine in the locally-sourced restaurant, or enjoy a picnic in some enchanting place: by a lily-pad-filled pond or in a rustic farmhouse. There are two pools, a floating tennis court, and an art exhibition.
