Château d'Ainay-Le-Vieil is a fortified structure dating back to the 13th century and is still owned by the same family since 1467.

Each room is designed for comfort, allowing guests to enjoy views of the moat and direct access to the rose garden. Additionally, four gîtes in the outbuildings provide a countryside getaway experience suitable for families and groups.

La Volière restaurant within the château offers a selection of gourmet dishes created from local ingredients, including a unique beer crafted on-site.
