As featured on Channel 4’s ‘Escape to the Chateau: DIY', this 19th-century abode is situated in the French countryside between Toulouse and Carcassonne – an ideal location for exploring these grand cities. Its historic interiors have been beautifully restored and paired with modern amenities, including an orangery with a pool table, private bar, outdoor terraces, and five sumptuously appointed bedrooms. Five bikes are provided if you wish to cycle to the nearby 14th-century village, where you’ll find a wealth of history and culture. With 1.5 hectares of lush gardens to explore, this historic home is a departure from the ordinary and offers a truly unique stay.

Revelling in History 

Yes, this home in the middle of the Tarn countryside dates back to the 19th century and is surrounded by 32 hectares of idyllic meadows, but this isn't the rustic getaway you might assume from first impression. How could it be so when the list of amenities at guests' disposal is so impressive?

Given the rather enviable climate that this corner of South France enjoys, you probably won't be surprised to learn that many of these lie outside. The first one that's likely to grab your attention is the swimming pool, but wander around a bit more and you'll discover everything from a sauna and six-person Jacuzzi to a tennis court and bar in the poolhouse for afterwards.

The home itself still retains an air of grandeur – all high ceilings, parquet floors and chandeliers. There are plenty of large communal spaces in which to gather together, but a fair few more private spots to escape the group for a peaceful moment. Chief among them is the rather elegant freestanding tub in the master bathroom.

One thing you'll quickly appreciate here is just how tranquil the locale is, with even the nearest village sitting 6km away. The surrounding area is peppered with charming towns and scenic hillside walking routes, while Toulouse is only 55km away, too.



Monsieur of the Manor

Nestled in Spain's Naut Aran mountains, this bucolic abode is the perfect pad for keen hikers and those seeking stolen moments in the countryside. Expect miles of rich landscape in every direction and a quaint village on your doorstep. Inside the apartment, exposed stone walls and raw-edged wooden furniture create a suitably rustic feel. Seeking a down-to-earth getaway? Your search is over.

In between walks and trips to the local taberna, recline on the L-shaped sofa and admire your homely surroundings. Original details juxtapose with modern decor – we particularly love the statement light fixtures. With plush seating and soft furnishings aplenty, this place is the epitome of cosy. It'll be worth your while to hire a car so you can explore the surrounding area. In just half an hour, you'll reach the French border. Perhaps a day trip to Toulouse is on the cards?

Salardú Solace

This home in Salardú is the ideal base for large families or groups of friends eager to spend time in the great outdoors. A quick drive will whisk you to Baqueira station, where experienced skiers and newbies can enjoy the slopes. In the summer months, this area is popular with hikers, who don their boots to explore the rugged peaks of the Pyrenees. After a day in the fresh air, return home and curl up on the sofa to read or watch a movie. Light the fire for extra cosiness, and enjoy home-cooked meals from the slick kitchen. Children will love the garden for playing or building snowmen, and adults can sip a glass of wine outside while enjoying the breeze. When it’s bedtime, tuck the kids into their bunk beds before getting comfy in the master bedroom, complete with views of the mountains. 

Ice Crystal

This home’s serene yet rustic interior – complete with wooden floors and ceilings recovered from an old stable yard – seamlessly blends traditional architectural features with modern furnishings, making it both a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle and a cosy place to entertain or relax with friends or family. Perfect for spending quality time with large groups of friends or family this Spanish mountain hideaway is a home for all seasons. 
In the summer you’ll be perfectly placed to enjoy coffee in the light filled kitchen cum dining area and be captivated by views of the Catalan Pyrenees, before getting out into nature and exploring all corners of the Aran Valley. In chillier months make the most of your proximity to the slopes of Baqueira-Beret and head up into the mountains for a day’s skiing before coming home for a soak in the hydro-massage tub. 

If entertaining from home is your bag, this home’s fully equipped kitchen means you can rustle up meals for friends or family in no time. Try your hand at whipping up a bowl of civet, a traditional aromatic stew and, at the day’s end, enjoy cosying up by the fire in the large living area for movie night. 


Val de Ruda Retreat

To sit and savour a morning cup of coffee on the terrace of this Aranese-style home is to indulge in one of life’s true luxuries: blissful silence. Aside from the chimes of the Santa Maria church bell tower, the still mountain air is undisturbed. Located in the little village of Arties, this ski chalet-inspired home is a charming base from which to explore the outstanding natural beauty of the Aigüestortes National Park. Inside, you'll enjoy the velvety soft furnishings, rainfall showers and marble top bathrooms. After a day of hiking or skiing, wander down to the thermal pools just over five minutes away, before settling down for a film around the open stone fireplace. 

Mountain Chimes

Stunning mountain views and skiing fit for royalty are what's on offer with this incredible home which boasts a great location and private balcony. Whether your morning breakfast is accompanied by an espresso for a shot of energy or a fresh juice made in the kitchen’s juicer, the balcony of this home is a great place to enjoy it as you start your days taking in the vistas of the beautiful Aran Valley.

Grab your ski equipment from your storage locker and hit the slopes each day in no time, with a ski lift available within just a few metres of your door. After a busy day on the snow, catch up on any important emails or work at the dedicated desk space. Then, treat yourself to a much-deserved glass of wine to enjoy on the balcony, or even dine alfresco if you’re staying during the summer months. 

Silhouetted Pines

Whether you're planning a family reunion, a getaway with your best friends, or a wellness escape to the French countryside, this mansion house is the ideal setting for a lavish trip. Dating back to the 18th century but with plenty of modern comforts, it provides a grand setting for a stay to remember. 

Walking up the stone staircase to the entrance, you'll feel like the lord or lady of the manor. Inside, each room is brimming with history – from the oil paintings to the collection of antique furniture, it's a truly opulent space. Fitness fans can play a game of tennis on the court or organise a workout class in the gym, before plunging into the outdoor swimming pool for a refreshing dip. If you prefer a slower pace, you can wander through twenty acres of parkland, then sweat out your stresses in the sauna or treat yourself to a long soak in the Jacuzzi. And, at the end of the day, the whole group can come together for a decadent meal in the formal dining room – don't forget some local wine too. 

The Natural Regional Park of the Ariège Pyrénées is right on your doorstep, and you can explore the landscapes on foot or on two wheels – your host will even provide eight bicycles. History fans can take their pick from several medieval towns and villages nearby, including Foix, which is a twenty-minute drive away. And, if you want to practice your golf swing, then the nearest course is just five minutes away by car.

It’s also family-friendly with a children’s room and plenty to explore in the surroundings. Follow trails through the estate woodland, fields and vineyards, or visit the region's most beautiful spots – it's just 8 kilometres to the nearby village of Condom. 

The Peace Keeper

Set just 300 metres from the mountain resort of Baquieria, this cosy apartment invites guests to cosy up after days spent soaking up mountain sports activities. Notably, this spot is particularly enchanting during the winter months as you'll find direct access to the ski lifts and facilities within conveniently close proximity.

With plentiful seating and impressively large dining space, the apartment provides more than enough room for a group of up to ten guests to socialise in one setting. So whether you're sprawled across the plush corner couch or gathered around the dining table – this place welcomes you to come together in the making of unforgettable memories.
