Rent a Napoleonic chateau for the price of a villa! With Château de Clérac you can be king of the castle for no more than you would pay for a villa. Rent or hire the chateau on a self-catering basis per weekend, per week or even longer; or just bed and breakfast. We also offer wine tasting and painting courses at the castle.

If you are looking to rent a luxury gite in France for up to 15 people then you've probably thought of a villa, with its own pool. But would you have thought you could hire a castle in France for the same price? Château de Clérac, just a 30 minute drive from Bordeaux, and set in the beautiful Haute-Saintonge countryside of the Charente-Maritime is both a cost-effective alternative to a luxury villa and a unique opportunity to be king of your own castle! The chateau, in the village of Clérac, lies at the centre of its 22 acres of walled gardens, forests and outbuildings. The château has a pool - an outdoor 11x5m salt-water pool which is but 50m from the gardens at the rear of the chateau. Inside the chateau you'll find plenty of space. On the ground floor there's a huge salon, fully equipped kitchen, dining room, library, gallery and lounge. The bedrooms and their en-suites are on the 1st floor of the château, together with the upstairs gallery, linnen room and hall. The approxmate floor area of Chateau de Clérac is 750 metres squared (about 8000sq feet). We usually operate a self catering chateau rental, by the week , weekend or other period. However, we can organize catering on occassion. For further information don't hesitate to contact us here at Chateau de Clérac - either by telephone, fax, email or by calling by in person.

Cheaper Pricing for Smaller Groups!

This year we have introduced a brand new - cheaper! - pricing policy for groups of up to 8 people, who only need 4 bedrooms.

Basically only one half of the chateau will be accessible (we'll lock the other half). Because there's less cleaning and utility usage, we can offer this at a much cheaper price.

Great Value Vacation Rental!

With the global recession hitting pockets hard, we've taken the audacious step of reducing our prices for 2009 and 2010!

With prices starting at just 1500€ per week for up to 15 people (that's just over 14€ per person, per day!), we believe Chateau de Clerac represents one of the best value vacation rentals in France!
