A French castle hotel in Savoie

The castle hotel concept

Have you ever stayed in a French "castle hotel"? This very French hospitality concept refers to castles, or "chateaus", that have been transformed into luxury hotels. Located in Savoie, in the Alps in southeastern France, the Château de la Tour du Puits castle hotel is one of these delightful hideaways. Tucked away in the countryside between Albertville and Chambéry, along the route to some of the best ski resorts in the world, the hotel offers 6 beautifully restored rooms and 1 suite with panoramic views, in a castle renovated in the 18th century.

Nestled among its orchard and gardens in a seven hectare park, the castle hotel also features a swimming pool, spa, sauna, Jacuzzi and putting green. Tourist excursions from the French castle hotel include the Dukes of Savoy circuit, Baroque churches, the medieval town of Conflans, Beaufort cheesemaking cooperatives, the Tamié Abbey and local wine tasting. The castle hotel also provides an ideal setting for your seminars and weddings – contact us.
