This Château Gascogne, situated in a dominant position on the heights of the medieval village of Saint Puy and former home of the famous Château de Monluc vineyard, has today become an ode to elegance.

Its 600m2 interior offers a very comfortable living space for up to 10/12 travellers.

Configured over 2 levels, the first floor features all the bedrooms with their private bathrooms and the interior living rooms, scattered around a magnificent central corridor, itself accessed by a wide stone and wrought-iron staircase.

The high ceilings, period herringbone parquet flooring, antique furniture and panoramic decorations by the famous ©Zuber factory depicting great mythological scenes: Boston Harbour, Niagara, views of America… undoubtedly contribute to the very special atmosphere of the place. Several lounges are at your disposal: 1 comfort lounge, a dining room for 12 people, a games room with antique games tables, chess, a harpsichord in perfect condition and a fireplace, a winter bookshop with another fireplace, TV and work and reading stations.

The winter kitchen, located opposite the dining room, is fully equipped with a three-oven @falcon gas cooker, full set of pots and pans, table service for twenty people in decorated Spanish earthenware, fridge, dishwasher, worktop, small electrical appliances and natural stone sink.

Of the 5 ensuite bedrooms, 4 have a private study with a fold-down desk. Wi-Fi is available throughout the Château and the property is connected to the fibre optic network. All the bedding is new and each bedroom has its own private bathroom with shower and/or bath. The bathrooms are often stunning, almost turning shower time into a real experience…

All rooms are equipped with brand new bedding complete with draw sheets, duvets, 2 pillows per person, bed linen and towels. There are shutters in all rooms and they all have a dominant view over the countryside.

On the ground floor, there is a utility room with washing machine and tumble dryer, as well as a secondary kitchen which we use as a summer kitchen. This is a rustic kitchen, full of charm and fully equipped with fridge, dishwasher, microwave, toaster, espresso machine for ground coffee, a large central oak table and a period natural stone sink that we have kept as it is. It gives access to a 100m2 outdoor patio with a brazier for cooking, parasol, garden table and chairs for the whole group. A perfect place for summer lunches and al fresco dinners.

The owner has also prepared a THEMED ROOM, the ‘Salle des Chevaliers de la Table Longue’. Housed in the old wine press, with its monumental fireplace, wooden swords, shields, bows and arrows are available for all the little knights.

The buildings, built of natural stone with walls over 60cm thick, provide unrivalled coolness on hot summer days.

Outside, the entire park is enclosed. Parking is available in a private car park at the foot of the ramparts, with direct access to the main courtyard of the Château, which is partly shaded by the park’s trees and houses the swimming pool, which is protected by low stone walls and wrought-iron gates. The pool is housed in the old rainwater reservoir, built of local stone (19m long x 6m wide x 1.50m deep), with gently sloping access for younger children. Loungers are available all around.

Following the view from one of the Château’s porches, you also have access to the Château’s large esplanade, a vast grassy area overlooking the village from its ramparts and opening onto an almost 360° panoramic view. At the far end, a small oak wood gives access to the Château’s former belvedere.

Although in a secluded position and not overlooked, travellers can walk to all the amenities at the bottom of the village (grocery shop, pharmacy, restaurants, etc.). And enjoy the charm of French village life as a local, while having the impression of being alone in the world in the Château.
