This château near Limoges, in the Haute-Vienne, is listed on Expedia as an authentic 13th-century château in a rural setting, rented as a self-catering holiday home rather than a hotel. It offers a fully equipped kitchen, a dining room, a study, fireplaces, a garden and a children’s playground. Limoges, famous for its porcelain and enamels, is a short drive away.
This is not a hotel but a holiday rental: the listing describes a château of its own in the countryside of the Haute-Vienne, with a stone tower under a pointed roof and a grand wooden door in a round stone arch. Expedia’s title calls it an authentic 13th-century château; no other source consulted confirms the date, so treat it as the listing’s own description.
Inside, the listing shows a living room with sofas and armchairs, a dining room with a long wooden table and a chandelier, and a bedroom area with a sofa bed. The kitchen is fully equipped, with an island, an oven, a hob, a dishwasher, a microwave, a fridge, a toaster, a blender and a kettle, and there is a washing machine. Five bathrooms, bed linen and towels are included, and every room has a fireplace or separate dining area, as well as free Wi-Fi and a desk.
Outside, guests have a garden with outdoor furniture and a playground for children. Breakfast can be added for an extra charge, and the listing mentions that room cleaning is available on request and that books are provided.
No Wikipedia article describes this château itself, and the listing gives no further history than its title, so this page does not invent any. What can be said is that it lies in a region with a long history: Limoges was a Gallo-Roman city, a medieval centre of Saint-Martial’s abbey and, from the 12th century, a source of enamels exported across Christian Europe.
The Château de Laugerie at Feytiat, about 3 km away, dates from the late 17th and early 18th centuries and has been listed as a historic monument since 1979. It is shown at the top of this page only as a nearby château, not as this property.
The details below come from the Expedia listing (as of 14 Oct 2026); as a self-catering rental, the equipment is provided for the whole house.
The château stands in a rural setting near Saint-Just-le-Martel, east of Limoges in the Haute-Vienne. Expedia places the cathedral, the fine arts museum and the Limousin aquarium within about 10 km, and the main sights of the city centre are some 8 km away as the crow flies. Limoges station, the airport and a motorway are mentioned in the listing’s title as being close by.
Around Limoges, history is easy to reach: the abbey of Solignac to the south, the pilgrim town of Saint-Léonard-de-Noblat to the east, and the ruins and legends of the Richard the Lionheart country to the west at Châlus.
For a quieter day, the Bishop’s Gardens beside the cathedral and the Adrien Dubouché porcelain museum are a pleasant half-day in the city.
