Private Châteaux

Centuries, Privately Held.

Private Châteaux is a collection of historic houses held privately — castles, châteaux, manors and palazzi whose walls are older than most countries.

To take a château is to take custody of a period. Painted ceilings, enfilades, orangeries, chapels, moats and avenues of lime were built for a way of living that no longer exists, and the pleasure lies in inhabiting them anyway — with heating that works, kitchens that function and beds that do not belong to the seventeenth century.

Each house is selected for the integrity of its restoration, the quality of its grounds and the honesty of its history. Many remain in the families that have held them for generations; some are let entirely, with the staff who keep them.

These are homes for people for whom the greatest luxury is time already spent — centuries of it, privately held for the length of a stay.
