Guests are lodged either within the château or within the recently renovated “dependances”. The style of each of the four bedrooms is different, and speaks to the owners’ previous lives in other countries.

Each bedroom possesses a queen or king size bed, its own bathroom with shower and/or bathtub, and with views either of the park or of the château’s upper courtyard with its swimming pool, Mediterranean garden, and terrace. Internet is available throughout. Common areas exist indoors (with television) and outdoors (at poolside). Guests also have access to Lavaud’s park, garden, library, and cinema room.

Lavaud is great for recreational hiking and cycling. We have a small inventory of bicycles we make available to our guests.

Breakfast is served indoors or out, depending on the weather. We are happy to organize picnics, and dinner. We actively promote Charente cuisine, which includes many famous dishes (eg duck, foie gras, truffle) and revolves around fresh local ingredients: vegetables and fruits from the local farmer's market or our own organic garden, the mushrooms, nuts and berries from the region, beef from the Limousin, seafood from the nearby coast.

Lavaud's facilities are also available for group gatherings of family and friends. Please ask us for details.
