Close to three of France’s ‘Plus Beaux Villages’, stay in style at this impressive French château and its private cottage set amongst glorious parkland and castle ruins in the captivating region of Gers.
This late 16th-century château has been gracefully restored by its current owners who rescued this beautiful abode following its abandonment for many years. Its transformation has been remarkable – step through the sun-dappled courtyard into the light-filled hallway with stone flag flooring and a Venetian chandelier and you will be immediately amazed. The living spaces are elegant yet welcoming whilst the kitchen-diner is the social hub of the house with a perfect blend of classic and contemporary furnishings.
Upstairs, the four en-suite bedrooms are so spacious & pretty with delicately designed décor and the loveliest of bathrooms, two with romantic rolltop baths and the master bedroom’s bathroom with its huge tub and vintage-style sinks.
Wherever you are in this house, there is a sense of light and beauty with wonderful pieces of artwork, sculptures and good-looking furnishings. French windows from the living room open up to the grand balcony terrace with picturesque views on the château’s private vineyard as you relax with a glass of local wine or follow the grand steps down to the swimming pool. In the upper landscaped garden, admire the castle ruins in this incredible setting.
The château can be rented by itself or for larger groups, there is the option to also rent a private cottage and another private swimming pool, making it the perfect hideaway for up to 16 guests in total. Decorated and furnished lovingly and with impeccable taste, the 4-bedroom cottage, has it's own living and dining space, lovely bedrooms and al-fresco terrace. Rental of the cottage in addition to the château is subject to availability and an additional fee.
You will soon adapt to the slow pace of life that the Gers is so well known for as you visit fortified villages, market towns, endless vineyards or simply walk and cycle through the rolling landscapes. The trio of ‘Plus Beaux Villages’, Montréal, Fourcès and Larressingle, are all minutes away whilst the gastronomic delights of this region, famed for its foie gras, can be discovered at markets such as Condom, Lectoure and Fleurance.
Canoe or boat along the River Baise, visit Grand Armagnac vineyards, take a hot air balloon ride over summer fields of sunflowers or simply sit back and relax in the magnificent surroundings of your historic and beautiful château in Gascony.
- An 8-person cottage (around 100m away via the driveway) is available to rent for a supplement for those looking for extra accomodation for up to 16 guests. Please enquire for availability and a quote.
- For weddings and events, the main Château, 8-person Cottage and also a 6-person Cottage (20m from the other cottage) may be rented (sleeping up to 22 guests) on request only. Please enquire for pricing and availability.

Weddings & Events Information
Ask a questionA picturesque ceremony in the gardens followed by cocktails in the courtyard and feasting on the terrace, there are so many options for your special day with ample space outside for 120 guests. Alternatively, the elegant late 16th century château itself, which has been exquisitely restored, can host a slightly smaller event.
In all cases, end the evening dancing with loved ones in the vaulted cellar, no doubt enjoying the fine wines and Grand Armagnac that this region is so famous for.
