Chateau de Rhodes was founded in 1797 as a country estate, far from the ravages of the Napoleonic Wars. In recent times, the property was acquired by David Sindell, and he restored it into a marvelous vacation escape. Bring your friends and family along for a memorable retreat in Occitania, France's region that borders the Iberian Peninsula. You can enjoy the warm climate while taking advantage of the various leisure facilities, such as the outdoor pool and the tennis court. Accommodations are beautiful historic suites decorated with antique furniture and colorful accouterments. Though Chateau de Rhodes is tucked away in the foothills of the Pyrenees Mountains, there are numerous attractions to visit, including local castles, museums, and regional parks.

Though Manoir De Ponsay dates as far back as the 15th century, the estate gets its name from the Ponsay Family, who have owned the estate since 1644. Choose from their selection of guest suites that blend classical luxury and modern comfort with antique decor collected over the years. The Pays de la Loire countryside surrounding the property was once the hunting ground of King Louis XI. While those days of royal hunting are long gone, travelers can explore the region and have friendly encounters with the wildlife. The chateau also offers leisurely ways to spend time, including practicing at the sports facilities, signing up for murder mystery events, and outdoor activities like watersports and biking.
