Blurring the lines between a boutique hotel and an exlusive rental, Anna and Aib Barwick have transformed this crumbling medieval pile a few miles from St Emillion into a chic chateau of the highest order and an unforgettable venue for a hen break. Rent the whole place or just one wing, the choice is yours. The Barwicks are excellent hosts with a great sense of fun and will ensure a hen break gets off to the perfect start popping open the Champagne on arrival and keeping the food and wine flowing throughout your stay. The £250pp hen package includes everything from champagne and canapes on arrival, to generous and delicious breakfasts, lunches and dinners. Plus a massage or beauty treatment each and a laid-back wine tasting session in teh bar with a local expert. Housekeeping is always included as the Barwicks firmly believe that you should never have to make your own bed or meals whilst on holiday. If that doesn't make you feel spoilt then the stunning interiors, grand scale and fabulous contemporary additions to the Chateau most certainly will. From interiors that belong on the pages of a style journal to facilities like the cosy private cinema with huge velvet sofas and fake fur throws, the sleek outdoor heated pool and the funky bar in the former old chapel, everything conspires to make Chateau Rigaud a joy to discover and very, very hard to leave.

Hen Break package including all meals, snacks and drinks, plus a spa treatment and wine tasting session costs £250pp, based on groups of 6-18 guests. Both Bergerac and Bordeaux airports are around 40mins drive from the Chateau (taxi transfers around 80-90 euros i.e. 20-25euros pp).
