Frequently asked questions
How far ahead should a board retreat in a private mansion be booked?
A private mansion with several lounges is booked on the operator's calendar, so we suggest reserving dates at least four months ahead. The reception room, the closing cocktail and the dinner tables are confirmed in the same quotation.
Is the venue suited to 20 to 30 directors?
Yes. The classic-style lounges suit a small board, and the Grand Salon, of more than 480 m², remains available for larger formats. Capacities differ between the operator's brochure and older guides, so the set-up is confirmed with Viparis before quoting.
What is included, and what can be customised?
Room hire, the reception, the cooking workshop, the team game, the closing cocktail and the dinner are separate quotation lines, so the programme can be shortened or its evenings swapped. Venue availability is confirmed in writing before the booking is final.
