Home description
The Chateau is a unique and rare find given its fantastic location. It is one of the very few that is available for weekly rentals that still has working vineyards now transformed to a hectare of terraced gardens and fruit orchards.
Built from traditional girondine stone in 1818, Chateau La Roque is located in the Fronsadais wine territory. The warm, quiet, inviting surroundings of the Chateau come complete with a tennis court and swimming pool. The hillside setting of the Chateau provides you with panoramic views of the Dordogne river as well as the surrounding working vineyards. With direct access from the Chateau grounds, the undulating hills of Fronsac countryside will appeal to those who enjoy hiking, cycling, fishing and horseriding.
Chateau La Roque is superbly positioned as it neighbours the world heritage site of St Emilion and the adjoining world renowned vineyards of Pomerol. The bustling, lively market town of Libourne, which hosts the most wonderful markets three mornings a week, is less than 10 minutes by car.
