Château Gaillac is a late Napoleonic, Belle Époque style extravaganza of opulence, situated in the valley of the Tarn River between the historic cathedral cities of Albi and Toulouse, with easy access to the Autoroute.

The Vignerons of Gaillac have tended the fertile fields in the Tarn valley for the past millennium with loving care in a landscape of viridian, terracotta and ochre reminiscent of Tuscany. Once the centre of this vast wine making domain, Château Gaillac enjoys views over neighbouring vineyards, of which guests receive a complimentary case upon arrival.

One of the best ways to enjoy the idyllic landscapes (often referred to as France's 'little Tuscany') is from the outdoor “La Guinguette” area next to the château with its summer kitchen with pizza oven, griddle and barbecue. Relax with family and friends as you gather, dine al-fresco and play pétanque, ping-pong or basketball. 

Resplendent in its park-land arboretum setting of lofty cedars, the château sits just back from the banks of the Tarn River, and also enjoys access to the adjoining rolling countryside. All the while, the facilities and popular attractions of the historic market town of Gaillac are just four minutes away.

Bright, warm and charmingly decorated in traditional Lime-wash, Château Gaillac is an enchanting home away from home in one of France’s oldest wine growing regions.

What Oliver loves...

  • The rural surroundings mean wildlife share the grounds of Château Gaillac. At dawn, wild roe deer can be seen drinking from the fountain and by evening owls and nightingales serenade al-fresco diners
  • On warm summer evenings, gather in the outdoor “La Guinguette” for barbecues/pizzas by the summer kitchen, soaking up picture-perfect views of France’s “little Tuscany,” while kids and grown-ups alike enjoy pétanque, ping-pong and basketball
  • In winter the château benefits from full central heating with cast-iron radiators, open-fires in all principle rooms and an abundance of pungent seasoned oak and cedar logs in the cellar
  • By night principle rooms are lit by sparkling chandeliers that complement the fine architectural detail, and conjure an atmosphere of grandeur appropriate to the château’s glorious past
  • Guests benefit from a case of regional wine

What you should know

  • During the grape harvest in September, guests may notice the distant hum of tractors behind the natural tranquillity that characterises Château Gaillac.
  • This is a region of natural beauty, and historical and cultural prestige, so a wild night life will be hard to come by. 
  • Air-conditioning is only available in three bedrooms.
  • The single bedroom on the ground floor is only suitable for a small person.
  • There are a few steps to access the ground level.
  • A helpful caretaker lives close by.

This home is a part of our Great Value and Heritage Collection!

This is a historic home, and as such:

  • It has probably been standing for over 100 years, which means it's full of historic value and charm but it may also have one or two quirks!
  • Some of the decor and furnishings may not be brand new, but that should not detract from your holiday experience in this unique setting that allows you to take a step back in time!
