The Nottoway Plantation: Hospitality and Grandeur of the Old South


The Nottoway Plantation is a sprawling property located just outside of White Castle, Louisiana. For travelers, the plantation is between Baton Rouge, the state capital, and New Orleans. Nottoway is the largest remaining antebellum mansion in the South today and offers visitors excellent overnight accommodations in 40 hotel rooms, two honeymoon suites, an outdoor pool and cabana area, tennis courts, a hair and nail salon, and more. The Nottoway is also a perfect place to host a wedding, with fully equipped ballrooms and large meeting areas on the beautiful grounds, and even three bridal dressing salons. For day visitors, the Nottoway offers tours of the grounds complete with a full history lesson about the family that owned the plantation seven days a week, a restaurant, and a lounge.

 The Nottoway Plantation is perfect for day trips, large corporate or social events, or to stay for a while. The staff offers all guests with famous Southern hospitality, and a recent renovation of the property added many amenities for guests while preserving the estate’s natural and historic beauty. Many guests have spent time sitting under the ancient trees around the property, drinking in the lounge, or enjoying a gourmet meal at the plantation’s restaurant. 

Thanks to Neil Castaldi, the grounds were recently redone and over $35 million were invested into the property overall. Castaldi is a Managing Partner for Nottoway, and has decades of experience working in the hospitality sector. With Castaldi’s experience and the expertise of the staff working at the Nottoway to make all guests comfortable, all visitors are sure to enjoy themselves on the property.
