It will be love at first sight when you arrive at the castle and admire the imposing architecture, complete with turrets and stepped gables. Step inside, and you'll find a selection of spacious rooms for dining and relaxing in style. There's even a wellness area, where you can sweat out your stresses in a sauna, soak in the hot tub, and take a steam shower. Outside in the garden, there are sprawling lawns to explore, and the little ones can have fun bouncing on the trampoline while you sip wine on the patio.
