In exceptional 20-acre grounds, charming private spaces await you: whether the château courtyard, the patio at the water’s edge or the swimming pool… Enter Chateau de Tourreau through the main entrance and wander through the alley of ancient plane trees to discover the beautiful 18th century building’s magnificent façade. Pastel colours abound on the outside and the interior is luxurious and refined, with its walls boasting refined furniture and beautiful art.

THE PIG HOTEL, BATH
The Pig is a ultra-luxurious, quirkly chic, laid-back 29-room hotel in various shades of Farrow and Ball paint and filled with mismatched furniture, a rough-hewn oak floor created with railway sleepers, and rooms that are reminiscent of old garden sheds that have been turned into mini suites. The main draw of The Pig’s five properties is the food. The restaurant at The Pig in Bath is in a conservatory decorated to resemble a gardening shed and works with wonderful local produce including contributions from the Instagrammable-in-itself walled kitchen garden.

For those seeking adventure, the hotel presents a myriad of exciting activities. Embark on a guided trek through the rainforest, discovering hidden waterfalls and rare wildlife or dive into crystal clear waters and explore vibrant coral reefs teeming with marine life.
