The family
We live here, and we would like you to feel at home too
Chazeuil is our family's home. We are restoring it slowly, and we open houses in its park to people who would like a place to come back to, one day perhaps with their own children.
When you arrive, you get the keys to your house. You cook in its kitchen, walk in the woods and the park, swim, light the barbecue at dusk. The château stays our home.
We would rather see you again than see you once.

What We Believe
Traditional materials, local craftsmen, repair before replacement.
The woods, the ponds and the animals are the reason to come.
The second time, you are no longer a stranger here.
Your part
The estate is still being restored, season by season. Guests see it change from one stay to the next, and what they tell us shapes what comes next.

The Estate
Chazeuil's story began long before ours. In the 12th century a first house rose on the height above the Allier valley, the seat of a lordship answering to the castellanies of Billy and Verneuil. In 1257 Aremberge de Chazeuil married Guillaume de La Palice; in 1439 the château passed by marriage to Guillaume d'Albon.
Destroyed and raised again in the 15th century, rebuilt in the Louis XIII style in the 17th, sold in 1688 and again in 1817, it was rebuilt once more in the second half of the 19th century by the architect Jean Moreau of Moulins, who kept the 17th-century kitchens and the north pavilion. That is the château you see across the park today.
We are one of many custodians who have cared for Chazeuil through the centuries, and we are humbled and honoured to carry that task now. Our life's goal is to keep making the estate better. We are very happy to have been given the chance to live here, to raise our children here, and to share it with you. — Daniel Neshto and family
Today the estate opens to guests: La Maison d'Été first, and from 6 May 2027 the three apartments of the second house, Anna Marie, Nadia and Margaret.
Estate Evolution
Where the estate has been, where it is now, and what comes next.
Medieval
Vaulted cellars spanning the entire footprint, thought to date from the Middle Ages — massive limestone arches built to endure centuries.
17th Century
The estate becomes the one we know. The kitchens and the north pavilion of that first 17th-century château still stand today.
Second half of the 19th Century
The château is rebuilt in the Louis XIII style, true to the original, and the grounds become 35 hectares of English-style walled parkland with cascading ponds, woods, gardens and great avenues.
A holiday house on the estate is open to guests: the first of the houses built in the grounds.
A second, renovated house on the estate holds three fully independent units, each with its own kitchen and barbecue corner. They open with the 2027 season.
Heated pool (14.95 × 6.50 m), wood-fired Finnish sauna, kitchen garden, orchard and 17 hectares of woods.
2027
New fruit varieties, expanded potager beds, herb spirals, and a small greenhouse to extend the growing season year-round.
2027–2028
Marked walking and cycling trails through the estate, a clay tennis court in the meadow, and a fitness space in the renovated outbuildings.
At home
Chazeuil has changed hands many times since the 12th century. Now it is our home, and we share its park with our guests.
Come and see it for yourself.
