Prieuré Saint Bû - 11BR • Heated Pool • 45’ Paris
Description
45 minutes from Paris and 10 minutes from a direct-line train station, Le Prieuré Saint-Bû dates back to the 18th century and will be entirely privatised for you. Two houses, 11 unique bedrooms, a high-walled garden hidden from view, a heated natural pool with no chlorine. Plenty of activities and sights nearby — Versailles just 40 minutes away! The perfect setting for family reunions, birthdays, gatherings of friends and your company seminar or off-site. Up to 25 guests across the two houses. The space Le Prieuré Saint-Bû is an 18th-century former Benedictine priory, set against the village church whose bell tower has watched over these rooftops for eight centuries. Carefully restored in an English cottage spirit, it is rented exclusively: one group at a time: the whole place is yours. ACCESS 45 minutes from western Paris via the N12 or A13. For those without a car, Houdan station (line N from Paris Montparnasse) is 10 minutes from the house. Large private parking within the property. TWO HOUSES, 11 BEDROOMS, 25 BEDS The property consists of two independent houses, each separately declared to the town hall as a holiday rental (meublé de tourisme): The Main House (8 bedrooms, approx. 250 m²): large dining room, library lounge, sitting room with marble fireplace, kitchen with black marble island and Smeg range cooker. The Annexe (3 bedrooms, approx. 100 m²): its own kitchen, lounge and billiard room, ideal for giving grandparents, couples or families with young children a little independence. No two bedrooms are alike: hand-painted botanical murals, original hexagonal terracotta floors, ancient beams, furniture sourced piece by piece. The feel of a true family home, with the soul of old stones. THE WALLED GARDEN AND HEATED POOL Outside, 2,000 m² of garden enclosed by high stone walls, hidden from view: children play in complete safety while the others enjoy the heated natural pool: biological filtration, soft water with no chlorine or salt, 24-28°C from May to October. Pétanque court, badminton, paved courtyard, long summer table for dinners that never quite end. Indoors on rainy days: billiards, table football, ping-pong, board games, libraries. Fibre WiFi in both houses. EVERYTHING ON FOOT IN THE VILLAGE The Priory sits in the heart of Bû, a real comfort for a large group: bakery 100 m away for fresh morning bread, grocery store and pharmacy at 200 m, café at 250 m, restaurant at 500 m. Top-up shopping is done on foot, without getting the car out. SERVICES ON REQUEST For stays that want to keep things simple: daily housekeeping, meals prepared by our partner chefs and delivered ready to reheat, table service, on request and quoted separately. FOR COMPANIES The Priory also hosts residential team off-sites and retreats, from 10 to 25 people, and proximity changes everything: a 45-minute journey instead of half a day on a coach, remote teammates arriving by train, executives able to leave early. Up to 11 individual bedrooms (a room of one's own, the true luxury of an off-site), the large dining room for plenary sessions, adjoining lounges for breakout work, and the walled garden for outdoor workshops. Team meals delivered ready to reheat by our partner chefs, early check-in possible: tell us about your plans by message and we'll prepare everything in advance. NEARBY Versailles 40 min, Chartres and its cathedral 35 min, the Château d'Anet (Diane de Poitiers) 10 min, the markets of Anet and Houdan to fill the fridge, Dreux forest and the Eure valley greenway for walking and cycling. A little further for a day trip: Thoiry safari zoo, Giverny and Monet's gardens, or Paris. Guest access Both houses and the walled garden are entirely yours for the whole stay. Stanislas, our house steward, welcomes you on arrival, hands over the keys and shows you around. Private parking within the property. Bed linen and towels provided, beds made on arrival, end-of-stay cleaning included. Other things to note Capacity: the property sleeps up to 25 guests (25 beds across the two houses: incl. 3 extra beds). Above 15 guests, renting both houses is mandatory. Please state the exact number of travellers when booking: pricing adjusts above 16 guests (per-person, per-night supplement, shown before payment). The Priory is a holiday rental declared to the town hall (meublé de tourisme): it does not host public events, receptions with outside vendors, or parties. Family reunions, milestone birthdays, gatherings of friends and residential team off-sites, however, are very much at home here. For safety, insurance and neighbourhood reasons, only the guests declared at booking may be present on the property. For a lunch, dinner or any request involving people outside the declared group, please contact us beforehand: nothing is possible without written agreement. Out of respect for our village neighbours: no amplified music outdoors, quiet requested after 10pm. Weekend bookings: 2-night minimum stay. Check-in from 4pm, check-out by 10am. Early check-in (before 4pm, up to 4 hours earlier): €300. Late check-out (after 10am, up to 4 hours later): €300. Subject to availability. The natural pool is unsupervised: children remain under adult responsibility.
