| The
Savoie is a remarkable département in the
Rhône-Alpes
region of France ~ lovely valleys and the majestic French alps combine
with lush forests and historic towns and cities to create a worthwhile
destination to anyone visiting this exceptional country.
Amid those mountains and valleys is the ancient and impressive Château St-Philippe on seventeen acres of land and first constructed in 1032. This is a time that some call the early Medieval period but its construction may have foretold the end of the Dark Ages, as it was built as a priory for Benedictine monks. Its location is perfect for skiers as Chamonix is only 75 miles away and Albertville, home of the '92 Winter Olympics, is closer at 18 miles. The château is under American ownership, and over the past few years has been completely and sympathetically restored to create a luxurious and absolutely stunning rental property for the use of family and friends celebrating a grand occasion or just looking for the perfect vacation getaway. Offering ten spacious bedrooms, a formal dining room, salon, library, grand reception room, spacious kitchen, games room, home theatre, laundry room and nine fireplaces, guests will find nothing lacking at Château St-Philippe. Add both east- and south-facing terraces, an office with a fax machine and copier, WiFi Internet access, caves and a barn, and the estate is a self-sustaining property for a week or more away from the rest of the world. Those who love the outdoors will find Château St-Philippe the perfect base for their daily activities from hiking, walking and mountain climbing to sailing, skiing and paragliding. Especially enjoyable is the new swimming pool with a view of the Alpes. Horseback riding, fishing and cycling are also local pastimes, and for those interested in the region's wines, cheeses or history, tours are readily available. The fresh mountain streams and lakes are excellent for swimming, too! The managers live on site in a separate apartment, so all needs and questions can be easily addressed. Guests will find friendly assistance including arranging tours and locating caterers when required. The château is a spectacular venue for anniversary celebrations, birthday parties and other important events. We know those who consider renting this stately château will have no regrets and only wonderful memories. The château and its dramatically beautiful location make a stay in the Savoie exceptional and truly memorable. |
