Knappogue Castle, County Clare, Ireland

Built in 1467, Knappogue was vacant for more than 40 years when Mark Edwin Andrews, an oil executive and former assistant secretary of the Navy, bought the castle in 1966. The suite for overnight guests was restored as Andrews' private residence; with five bedrooms, four baths and a baby grand piano, the apartment sleeps ten. Both Charles de Gaulle and Ronald Reagan have stayed here.
