Exclusive chateau sleeping 16 with a pool, for holidays and exploring the wine region east of Bordeaux

Holiday Rental for Groups of Families and Friends.
The Ancient Chateau, La Perroterie, Aquitaine, France, sleeps 8-16 in 8 bedrooms.

The Château of La Perroterie (Ancient Chateau) is mainly 14 Century and is full of character and history. Situated on top of a hill with 360 degree views of the most stunning countryside located in the heart of the Pays de Duras wine region of Lot et Garonne. Sympathetically restored, the property is a perfect choice for a family gathering, holiday for a group of friends, or a venue for a special occasion.

The Ancient Château is very spacious; it is with good reason that our guests call it "The Place with Space". The house can accommodate up to 16 people in 8 large, characterful bedrooms, all with many interesting features, oak beams and great views.

A huge well fitted kitchen/breakfast room acts as the hub of the property and leads out to an outdoor dining terrace for barbecuing, eating and drinking. There are three sitting rooms and a large, oak beamed dining room, which seats 16 people. Further terracing and gardens lead to the private swimming pool with sun terracing and the property is surrounded by gardens, pastures, woodlands and borders a lake.

The whole house is fully centrally heating (hopefully not necessary!) and has a very efficient hot water system, so no cold showers!

The gardens are simple with a mediterranean garden to the front and complete seclusion to the rear, which drifts down to woodland and a lake. In total the grounds cover 45000m2 with secluded areas to read or relax in total peace and tranquility.

The Ancient Château is superbly located for travel and touring, being only 3 kilometres outside the medieval town of Duras with its grand 13th century Château (with night illumination shows during summer months), shops, weekly market, cafes, bars and restaurants. The world famous town and wine region of St. Emilion are only 45 minutes away. It is also in easy reach of Bordeaux and the beaches and the world famous dunes at Archachon for day trips.

The current owners purchased the property in October 2019 and have redecorated throughout. Whilst the Owners are not based in France, they have parents who live nearby should assistance be required during your stay.
