— Catherine: “It is one of the oldest chateaux in Europe. When I give people tours through the chateau, they are amazed by every room.”

Interview By: Welcome Beyond

— Can you please tell us a little about the history of Chateau St. Philippe?

Catherine: “Chateau St. Philippe is one of the oldest chateaux in Europe. It was built in 1032 as a priory by Benedictine monks and sits on 17 acres of land. In 1828, it was renovated into a chateau by Baron Charles-Albert Favier du Noyer. It changed hands three more times before my cousin bought it. He took the integrity and authenticity of the chateau and modernised it for the modern comforts.”

— How would you describe the style of the chateau’s interior?

Catherine: “A little blend of modern and antique, it’s very tastefully done. Everything was hand-picked picked because this is first and foremost a family home.

The view is the most amazing thing about Chateau St. Philippe. We have mountain ranges all around us. When it’s clear and you stand on the terraces, you can see Mont Blanc in the distance. There’s just so much green and beauty that changes with the seasons.”

— Do you have a favorite room?

Catherine: “When I give people tours through the chateau, they are amazed by every room. There’s not really a favourite one. In total, when you do the whole tour, you reflect back to the history of it and think about all the things that have gone on here.

I would say people are mostly in awe of the caves. It’s pretty amazing when you go down there. That is where the weddings and parties take place.”

— What are some of the other facilities at Chateau St. Philippe?

Catherine: “We have the reception room, which can accommodate a large number of people, a theatre with about 650 movies to choose from which people love as well as a game room with a pool table, darts, a big screen TV and a bar.

The Salon, people like to gather there because it’s right beside the dining room which I would say is the most used room in the entire chateau.”

— Bedroom six

— What sort of services do you provide?

Catherine: “The stay at Chateau St. Philippe includes breakfast every morning. Guests can pick any service from wine tours to cooking classes. We have a chateau chef who can come and cook dinners. We provide a concierge service to make it easier to facilitate whatever it is our guests want to do in terms of needing a tour guide or reservations somewhere.

As for our amenities, we offer a babysitting service, an onsite laundry facility, a fully equipped office, a translator, and many more.”

Interview By: Welcome Beyond

— What is the region like?

Catherine: “We’re up on a hill surrounded by vineyards and farmland. You can see the whole valley below and the mountain ranges all around.

We have a little village nearby that’s about five kilometers away. They have bakeries, butchers, and open-air markets once a week, so it’s easy to experience French culture and life that way.”

— Bedroom seven

— What are some things that people can do in the area?

Catherine: “There are a lot of outdoor activities like hiking, biking, swimming and windsurfing. We have lakes all around here. Paragliding is pretty popular here too.

I recommend people visit Chambry — the historic capital of Savoie decorated with mansions and fountains — and Annecy, which is about 45 minutes from here and has a beautiful lake.

I also suggest going up Mont Blanc with the cable car. It’s the highest mountain in the Alps.”

— Do you host a lot of special events at Chateau St. Philippe?

Catherine: “Yes. We have everything from weddings and engagements to anniversary and birthday parties at Chateau St. Philippe. Even family reunions. These all take place in the chateau’s caves. We have a bar down there, a seating area, and access to the lower gardens and courtyard. We can seat up to 120 people and can provide outdoor seating with a canopy as well.”

— Bedroom ten

— What is the feedback from guests?

Catherine: “Our guests write comments in our guestbook stating how magical Chateau St. Philippe is and how it was the best experience of their life. They have a lot of fun here. It’s a very special place to come and visit.”
