There is cinema room with a huge screen, surround sound and a Playstation, the lower dining room becomes a mini nightclub by night, musicians and performers can be invited for private concerts, and guests can partake in a number of classes and demonstrations such as cooking lessons with Michelin-trained chefs.
One of the standout offerings of Chateau Vida is the masked ball held in candle-lit drawing rooms. Guests can immerse themselves in history and dance the night away dressed in elaborate, custom-fit period costumes.
All 18 bedrooms in the chateau have en-suite or private facilities, many boasting grand marble flooring and walls, and ornate period features.
