The color palette
The focus is on the use of noble and timeless materials.
Green, the dominant color, is harmoniously balanced by touches of beige, marble, brass and light walnut, which provide both sophistication and warmth.
The green and beige stripes, and the leopard pattern, sign the identity of the spaces, while the chevron floors and the pearl moldings highlight the daring character of the place, creating a perfect harmony between tradition and modernity.
The Attilio restaurant
Hidden behind a back door, accessible only by crossing a library, this restaurant is surrounded by an aura of mystery, like a hidden treasure that can be discovered in the mansion. The majestic dome that overlooks the room is decorated with a refined fresco, a true masterpiece of decoration. Its plant patterns invite guests to look up and let themselves be carried away by the stories buried in its arabesques.
THE ARTIST OLIVIA DE BONA
Anchored in its territory, the project brings together know-how and contemporary creations: Art & Floritude chandeliers evoke magnolias, while the works of the artist Olivia de Bona celebrate the feminine figure and the plant richness of the Nantes region.
Circulations
The corridor is part of a warm and cozy atmosphere, like a silent transition between living spaces. On the ground, the floral carpet becomes the common thread of the journey: it naturally guides the eye and invites you to stroll, like a path drawn in a garden.
Birds with spread wings come to inhabit this textile landscape, as if frozen in a suspended moment. Their presence infuses a narrative dimension, almost dreamlike, as if the ground was telling a forgotten history of the estate.
The rooms & the suites
The 26 rooms and suites, spread between the historic château and its charming annex, Le Pavillon, each offer a unique atmosphere. Behind their history-rich walls, period wood paneling, fine materials, and sleek lines combine to create spaces that are both warm and sophisticated.
Some rooms offer breathtaking views of the tree-lined park and its fountain, while others provide a more intimate retreat, overlooking the Sèvre river and nestled within carefully restored historic buildings.
A poetic SPA
Inside, the soothing heat of the sauna and steam room relieves tension and calms the mind. Relaxation continues in the massage room, where expert hands offer a true journey to letting go. For a moment of freshness, delicately scented infusions await us.
Outside, the jacuzzi under the open sky extends the escape, offering a moment of well-being in perfect communion with nature. The comfortable deckchairs and the relaxation area welcome us in a soothing atmosphere, ideal for enjoying the peace and reconnecting with yourself.

The guinguette
On the banks of the Sèvre, the guinguette is the essential meeting point for sunny days, a festive and relaxed place where people come to relax. Hidden behind a winding path lined with trees, it seems like a place apart, almost magical, inviting to escape and discovery.
