There are 6 large bedrooms within the Chateau itself, four of which have en-suites and three more modest bedrooms in the Guest Cottage. The kitchen is well equipped and there is a large Drawing Room and Dining Room. In addition there is a Tavern/bar opening up onto the 250 sq metres of Upper Terrace as well as a Games Room with a full size snooker table. The Tavern and Games room are air-conditioned.

The saltwater heated pool is 10m x 5m with Grecian steps. There is an automated security cover for safety as well as a laser alarm.

The property is very private and the Chateau Managers are extremely discreet about guests. The Dining Terrace is out of this world with views over towards the Pyrenees.

The Chateau is an ideal holiday home for families and groups in search of tranquillity, privacy and luxury. Yet it is only a 5 minute drive to the local village where you will find shops, bars, restaurants and the all important French morning market.

The Aquitaine / Dordogne / Pyrenees Atlantiques region

Located in the South West corner of France, Aquitaine has got it all.

Part of the English Empire in the Middle Ages, its treasures were fought over for centuries – leaving a rich legacy of architecture, history and culture. It continues to be envied – enjoying a wonderful climate of four very different seasons, outstanding natural beauty, superb gastronomy and great wines.

The Pau area

The Chateau is set in complete privacy and tranquillity, yet is only a 5 minutes drive from the local village where you will find shops, bars, restaurants and the all important French morning market. Throughout the summer, there are banquets, festivals and events taking place regularly.

The Chateau is a haven for wildlife - wild boar, deer, hares, and birds of prey. The large upper terrace which opens out from the Bar/Tavern, the Dining Room and Kitchen area offers the perfect spot from which to view these delights or just sip your evening aperitif.

There are activities to suit all ages and interests, foodies will enjoy the great local restaurants at the heart of France's centre of gastronomic excellence, as well as the local wine. The Michelin starred restaurant of Michel Guerard is just a 30 minute drive away for that extra special meal.

The famous Jazz festival in Marciac takes place in July and August and is only a 40 minute drive from the Chateau. For the more active, there are Tennis Courts in Aire sur l'Adour and there is a Horse-riding Centre close to the Chateau. The famous pilgrimage town of Lourdes is just over an hour away.

In the winter, it is possible to access the ski slopes of the Pyrenees from the Chateau with Gourette (1hr30), Cauterets (1hr45) and Luz Ardiden (1hr45).
