Cottage located in the former orangery of the Château de la Villequéno

It has an area of approximately 120m² with a very large open room overlooking the park on the ground floor and two bedrooms and a bathroom upstairs.

The Awakening of a Centuries-Old Estate

In the heart of inland Brittany, where the land exudes a scent of moss and mystery, the Château de la Ville Quéno rises like a secret jealously guarded through the centuries. It is in Carentoir, on lands steeped in ancient legends, that history has settled. While the foundations of the estate are rooted in the nobility of the 17th century, the current château boasts the proud and romantic silhouette of the 19th century.

In the heart of this protected park, where ancient trees sway in the breeze, the Orangerie stands with understated elegance. Once built to protect citrus trees from the harsh winter, it has withstood the test of time without losing its soul. Every granite stone, every pane of glass, tells the story of human labor and the changing seasons. This place is not merely a memorial; it is a living testament to an era when architecture bowed before the majesty of nature.

The Refuge of the Host

Crossing the threshold of Ville Quéno means embracing a slower pace of life. The types of stays here are designed for those who love silence and authenticity. Whether you come seeking the enriching solitude of a night in a bed and breakfast or the shared warmth of a stay in a family-run gîte, the Orangerie and its outbuildings—like the mysterious Hermitage—offer a welcoming haven.

The estate becomes, by turns, the setting for family reunions during weddings seemingly suspended in time, or the haven of peace needed for corporate seminars seeking meaning and a break from the everyday. Here, there is no ostentatious luxury, but the promise of an authentic interlude, a total immersion where one rediscovers the simple joy of living in harmony with nature, far from the hustle and bustle of the modern world.

Comfort at the Heart of Plants

Beneath the Orangery's timber frame, the renovation has preserved the building's historical character while infusing it with the comforts of contemporary living. The estate's amenities harmoniously blend raw stone with fine materials. The spacious rooms, bathed in Breton light thanks to the original large windows, house roomy living areas, fully equipped kitchens for large gatherings, and bedrooms with a cozy atmosphere.

Each window opens like a living painting onto the landscaped park. The furnishings, chosen with the respect due to historic homes, invite relaxation. Gentle heating for cool autumn evenings, bedding conducive to long, restorative sleep, and well-designed outdoor spaces allow you to live close to nature without ever sacrificing the comfort of a true haven.

The Rituals of Earth and Time

Here, activities aren't planned, they're felt. The traveler begins their day with a morning stroll in the park, while mist still rises from the lawns and dew beads on the leaves of the American oaks. It's a time to listen to the birdsong and watch for the discreet passage of a deer around a bend in the path.

For curious minds, the surrounding paths lead to the nearby Brocéliande forest, or along the hiking trails that wind through the Morbihan moors. Evenings are spent watching the sun set behind the silhouettes of the historic outbuildings, a book in hand, or exchanging historical secrets that the owners sometimes share during Heritage Days. At La Ville Quéno, the main activity remains learning to observe the world unfolding .
