Prices
Château de Lasfonds is available for exclusive bookings, offering you the full grandeur of the castle, its serene gardens, and charming outbuildings.
Pricing is based on the season:
High Season (May - October): The warm summers and colourful autumns at the Château are priced at €19,980 per week, with the luxury of a heated pool for you to enjoy.
Low Season (November - April): Cozy up during the cooler months or watch the estate bloom in spring at €14,900 per week.
To secure your booking, an initial 30% payment of the total rent is required, with the balance due prior to your arrival. Please note our cancellation policy is strict. However, we do offer a one-time date change subject to availability.
There is a one-week minimum for renting the Château, and a refundable security deposit of 3,000 euros is required. The rental price includes CVAT and tourism tax.
The Château is rented exclusively as a single property to ensure complete privacy and enjoyment for our guests, and we do not offer individual room rentals. This means you will have the entire property to yourself for the duration of your stay.

We require a minimum stay of 7 days to fully immerse in the Château experience, regardless of the season.
