Castle vacation rentals in Franche-Comté

We had 2 wonderful weeks in historical ambiance and beautiful surroundings. The reception by Catherine was super friendly and her many tips very helpful. The possibilities for exploration and activities are numerous (cave visit, Lyon, visit to medieval villages in the area, swimming in the Ain, paddle excursions) Thanks to Catherine and family!

Great stay for a family party. There is enough bathroom for everyone, the kitchen is nice. The garden and trampoline were enjoyed by young and old too.

This is the most magical place we’ve ever stayed. The owners invite you to stay in the castle where they live and you are transported to another place and time. The hospitality, the breakfast, the beautiful rooms, the charcuterie and wine on the terrace over the moat, the garden and access to the paths on the grounds: the ambience of the entire place is off the charts. My favorite part might be the mural filled with birds, flowers, butterflies and other creatures in all four seasons painted by the owner. It fills all four walls of a dining room! The whole experience is one you’ll always treasure.

Not many travelers get to say that they’ve stayed in a chateau like Jacques’ in Thenissey. I live in Dijon and used to work in the area so when I found this accommodation to surprise my mom & brother during their visit, we were all overwhelmed with the simple beauty of this chateau and the countryside around it. Jacques is very kind and welcoming. If we needed anything, he was just a phone call away. He offered to show us around his chateau and we regret not finding the time to do so in our plans. The accommodation is modern and up to date with everything you need, including in the kitchen and two bathrooms. A train does by pass by but you will need a car to explore the region. And come already equipped with groceries and a full tank of gas because the closest supermarket is about 15-20min away! We absolutely loved the moats, “feeding” the fish, the staircase into the basement, and even the chateau-smell that makes this experience absolutely worth it during your visit to Burgundy.

We had a wonderful wine weekend with friends in a beautiful setting. Perfectly located to visit wineries and discover the beautiful region. We had beautiful weather so we could dine royally with a view of the castle, the valley and a beautiful sunset.

We loved our stay at Rosita's place! It's a special place with a special history. Ideal to relax and unwind. The site has been very nicely restored, the guest rooms have all the comfort and have remained authentic. You need to go there to experience it! Rosita is a good hostess  very attentive and very flexible. Recommend! Merci Rosita!

Château Lapeyrouse is located in a beautiful and quiet area close to Lac du Bourget. The castle itself is divided in several appartments on the ground floor and upper floors. We stayed in one of the appartments on the ground floor (with bathroom and 1 sleeping room) on the 1st floor) Beautiful decorated, kept in original style, and a very spatious living room and garden room. The rooms kept very cool, even when temperatures rose well above 30 degrees. The surrounding terrain was excellent, the garden great to sit for dining, the views from the castle over the valley and mountains was magnificent. Not to forget the nice pool to cool off on a hot day. We had great service during reception and afterwards, from the caretaker of the castle. Conclusion: well worth a stay, you’ll feel like a lord of your own castle!

We had a great stay with our family. The cottage is perfect for 4 people: 2 bedrooms including a large one, comfortable bedding, good equipment, charm of old stone stones. The park is very nice, the pool is large (but a little cool at the end of August) and the perfect place to visit Beaune and its surroundings. Very nice welcome too: clear information and easy communication. We recommend!

We spent 2 nights in Juliette's apartment: the space, the calm, the panoramic view, the equipment, we liked everything. The castle is ideally located, close to Montreux, but sufficiently far from the main roads, in a green island. Communication with the host was very efficient and pleasant. We'll be happy to go back.

Great stay! Games in a mess, as we hoped. The nostalgic forties we are loved this regression week:-)

We stayed two nights with our adult children and friends. Plenty of room for all, enjoyed the pool and outdoors. Had lovely meals together in the large kitchen! Wonderful time.

Staying at the castle was such an amazing experience. It was the perfect location, close enough to visit Annecy but far enough to have peace and privacy. The apartment was huge and very comfortable. And the host, Floriane was very helpful. If you are lucky enough to come across this listing, do not hesitate! It is truly an unforgettable experience.

We had a great time at this beautiful mansion, spacious, bright and warm. Its cozy atmosphere makes it perfect for hosting people or for a family stay. Despite a view of factories across the street, with continuous smoke and a little noise, we were fully satisfied with the standard offered. The interior design is a clever mix of old charm and modernity, which brings a lot of character to the place. We strongly recommend this mansion. It would certainly be even more pleasant in summer, especially to enjoy the pool. Again, thank you for this great experience!

We had a super nice time here as a family with 5 boys. Wonderfully spacious place and played hide-and-seek with pleasure. No luxury place/decor/amenities, but price-quality ratio was really fine. Wonderful surroundings against the forest. The house was above expectations nice and warm due to wood heating and fireplace. Also nice warm bath and shower. Friendly contact with manager and owner. Overall very satisfied!

Fabienne was an excellent host! The grounds were amazing on the vineyard and the park area was serene. Had two peaceful, quiet days in the residence and surrounding area. Would visit again without any doubt where to stay. Thank you so much for a great experience at your location.

We had an amazing stay there for a work teambuilding event. We loved the facilities and enjoyed the quirkiness of this little castle. We had plenty to do there and were able to really enjoy our three days there. We will consider going back there for sure. Bring your own tennis rackets- other than that you will have everything you needed for an amazing stay for a big group

We stayed here for 2 nights. It was the most amazing stay, definitely in my top 3 of all time. The rooms were huge and beautiful. Le Rudli only opened in March and it shows. The place was clean, fresh and well maintained, the views of the mountains and lake Thun were breathtaking. The breakfast was incredibly tasty and such a variety of local organic ingredients used. The hosts Moni and Urs were wonderful, Moni goes above and beyond to make sure everything is perfect. She even prayed for me as I was unwell. Its a magical place hidden away in Swiss nature. I could go on and on and on, I’d definitely come back and stay for longer. It felt sad to leave. Oh and the beds and pillows are the most comfortable ever, perfect for relaxing after a long day of hiking. DO NOT HESITATE CLICK THE BOOK BUTTON AND BOOK IT NOW YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED.

Our stay at this charming property was truly unforgettable! From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with such warmth and kindness that we instantly felt at home. The location is absolutely breathtaking — waking up to panoramic mountain views each morning felt like living in a postcard. The house itself is cozy, beautifully maintained, and thoughtfully designed with every little detail in mind. But what really made our experience exceptional were our wonderful hosts, Moni and Urs. Their hospitality went above and beyond — from helpful local tips to heartwarming conversations that made us feel like old friends. And the breakfasts… wow! Each morning was a delight, with fresh, homemade treats that were not only delicious but made with so much care. Sitting on the terrace, sipping coffee and enjoying the peaceful surroundings was the perfect start to every day. Thank you, Moni and Urs, for creating such a magical experience. We’re already talking about when we can come back!

Halim and Sissi were great hosts. Always there if you needed anything. We even shared a wonderful Paella around the pool. Could not have expected more. Wonderful stay Keith

We had SUCH a wonderful time visit Le Ruhli for a couple of nights. The place was more beautiful than the pictures; they have restored the house wonderfully. Moni and Urs were lovely hosts and were very helpful. The breakfast provided was so delicious. A peaceful stay and blessing to us both!

Halim's place is superb - as advertised - spacious & clean. We only spent one night as we were passing through, enroute to the French Riviera but it was a special one: our 25th anniversary! Halim made it extra special with small thoughtful gestures :-) We only had one regret: that we couldn't stay longer to enjoy the lovely accommodation & amazing amenities! Would be happy to recommend to family & friends and hope to come back again one day! Merci beaucoup Halim!

I had a lovely stay at Sabine's, the room was super nice, there is even a courtyard where you can enjoy the beautiful landscape. Breakfast was great and hearty! And Sabine is very kind, pleasant and friendly. I can't wait to get back there ^^
