Château de Livry

Could you introduce yourself and share a bit about your life, such as your interests, hobbies, or background?

We are a family from Sweden who has always loved old historical buildings and interior projects, with a special affection for France. Pehr has a background in finance as a CFO and consultant. Annika is the founder of Allinwood AB and has a passion for interior design. The company creates its own wooden furniture in Scandinavian style and also offers replicas of 18th-century pieces. We are delighted to welcome guests to our charming Château de Livry and share our dream.

How did your property become part of your life? When did it happen, and what inspired or motivated you to take it on?

Three years ago, we bought the château. It is a very charming project, and we are happy to take care of it.

What was the process of creating your property like? Tell us about renovating, furnishing, or styling it.

The property was in good condition, and much of its old charm was preserved. We painted most of the interior areas as well as the windows and shutters outside. An artist friend of ours created beautiful wall paintings. The interior is a mix of brocante and antique finds, complemented by comfortable hotel beds with bed linen and fabrics from Himla and handmade ceramics. Together, these elements create a cozy and relaxed atmosphere. We have also designed the garden ourselves.

What makes your property truly special to you? Do you have any favorite spots, cherished memories, or personal touches that make it dear to your heart?

We love creating spaces where people can thrive and enjoy a relaxing time together. It makes us very happy when guests write, “Thank you for opening your home to us.”

How would you describe the atmosphere and interior of your property?

Charming and relaxing château life in a calm and rural setting.

Are there any sustainable or eco-friendly applications associated with your property that you are proud of?

Most of the construction is original, and reused and sustainable materials have been incorporated into many parts of the renovations, both by us and previous owners. Most of the furniture comes from antique shops, and many of the new products are eco-friendly and handmade.

What motivated or inspired you to rent your property to guests?

From the very beginning, we had a vision to create a place where people could come together and enjoy a refined lifestyle in a castle setting.

What can guests expect when staying at your accommodation? Share the experience, the highlights, and perhaps the best compliment you’ve received from past guests.

“Our hearts are full. Our family is forever grateful! This was beyond our imagination. Your touches, details, love of your property, and gift of sharing... simply perfection. I have been in design for 38 years. I lived in your château ‘magazine’ for the week, with my jaw open.”
