This has been such an arduous project by its dedicated owners who fell in love with the Gers many years ago and married there before deciding to find their very own French home. It’s no wonder they fell in love at first sight with this 17th century château with its glorious grounds and breathtaking views towards the Pyrenees. The result of the restoration is truly stunning - they have created a dreamlike home with the most beautiful interiors.
Admire the Farrow and Ball tones of the exquisitely designed drawing room with stylish furniture around the open fire, then move into the sumptuous lounge before stepping into the bespoke kitchen with emerald tiles and Lacanche range oven, perfect for long lunches on the long wooden table. The formal dining room is another picture-perfect spot for feasts whilst the library awaits for a peaceful coffee or glass of Côtes de Gascogne.
Across the seven gorgeous bedrooms, guests can expect the finest of features from Egyptian cotton linen and luxurious hotel-branded mattresses to exquisite décor with premium designer wallpaper and high-end furnishings and fabrics. Sleeping up to 14 adults and 6 children, the bedrooms have been cleverly designed with a range of king or super king-size doubles alongside a charming bunk-bed room as well as the option of discreet pull-out beds if required. Of course, each bedroom has its own en suite bathroom, some with Italian walk-in showers, others also featuring luxurious standalone baths.
Embrace the slow-paced life of the Gers as you gather around swimming pool for long lunches, then spend summery afternoons playing pétanque, croquet or other garden games beside the organic fruit trees and five acres of RHS designed wild gardens. Borrow the château’s bikes to cycle to the two local villages, one of which has a lovely Friday morning market, or drive just 20 minutes to Auch, the historic capital of Gascony by the banks of the Gers River.
Discover other atmospheric markets and wonderful restaurants serving the fine food of this region in Mirande, Lectoure and Fleurance or venture south towards Saint-Lary-Soulan and the Hautes-Pyrenees for yet more wonderful experiences surrounded by spectacular mountain scenery.
- The château sleeps up to 16 people – please see the “Layout” tab for details on each bedroom layout.
- A family live on the estate, in the mill to the right of the château, and are there to greet you and to help look after the property when guests are present.
