Chateau stay: Chateau Vault de Lugny, Yonne

Channel your inner King and Queen at this stunning moated chateau hotel – you can even book the room once reserved for kings. Built between the 13th and 17th centuries the chateau Vault de Lugny oozes charm and history and is now owned by charming couple Elisabeth and Pascal Bourzeix. Expect roaring open fires on cold nights, fabulous food in a gastronomic restaurant and wonderful service. And the rooms. You seriously feel like royalty in these exquisite rooms that look just like they must have to the nobles who stayed in them centuries years ago. The hotel pool has been voted the most beautiful in France and believe me, there’s nothing quite so special as taking a dip in a pool in an ancient but warm cellar that feels cocoon like. It can be hired for a private dinner a deux – how romantic is that?
