Behind The Brand

What was the initial spark for the property and how did it all begin?

Marwan & Jeremy fell in love with the dilapidated Engalin Domaine in spring 2004 and lovingly brought the chateau back to life.

The historical site, with its romantic rose-covered, jasmine-scented chapel, is perched on top of the hill. It dates back to the 11th century and offered an impressive dominating architectural exterior shell, enveloped in 360-degree views of nature & celestial skies. Its 360 views of the French countryside gave it a unique and unforgettable quality. The interiors offered a blank canvas to create a contemporary container for art & togetherness. It is the perfect place to create forever memories in the French countryside. The concept of an ultimate playground for design-conscious couples who want every detail personally catered for was born.
