Description: Chateau La ThuiliereThe Chateau La Thuiliere combines elegance and intimacy, encouraging you to feel at home from the moment you arrive - a true 'home away from home'. Not just a boutique hotel, the Château La Thuilière is set in beautiful parkland, surrounded by woods and fields. The land bordering the river Isle, meandering through the district of St Front de Pradoux once belonged to the nearby Chateau de Bridoire.Inspired by legend and love, Chateau La Thuiliere is more than a château. It was built in 1889 as a fabulous summer residence for the prosperous Mr. Michel Petit's fiancée, Madame Claire Angeline Beguerie. According to legend, St Front killed a dragon that was menacing the village, thus becoming a symbol of the triumph of courage over adversity. This legend was the inspiration for the Tudor style of architecture of Chateau La Thuiliere. It is more, however, than a building where history has left its mark, more than a place where a wealth of period details combine with modern amenities to create the perfect hideaway. The Chateau La Thuiliere epitomizes the ambition of being surrounded by authenticity while still completely relaxing so you can leave refreshed and re-energized.
