Chateau De Pomireaux

The delightful 16th Century Chateau de Pomireaux is situated in the unspoilt countryside of the Gers. Once a prominent hunting lodge, the Chateau de Pomireaux now offers fantastic holiday experiences.

Enjoy the 10 acres of mature gardens, the luxury accommodation, the swimming pool, gymnasium and games room. The Chateau de Pomireaux sleeps 10 guests in comfort and each of the double bedrooms has an en-suite bathroom. Breakfast each morning is included in the rental price. There is an additional Maison on site 100 metres from the chateau to sleep a further 6 guests if needed.

Please note that the kitchen is only available by special request as the owners live in a self-contained apartment within the chateau and will serve you your breakfast daily. This is a serviced and catered luxury holiday experience - the owner Roy will ensure that your holiday experience will be first-rate.

The chateau has 5 stylish en-suite bathrooms to sleep 10 guests. Each of the bedrooms has views over the castles grounds and the surrounding Gascony countryside. The chateau also benefits from 2 comfortable salons and a dining room.

In the grounds the converted barn is a well equipped modern gymnasium. The swimming pool (12x6m) is beautifully positioned to maximize the suns exposure and has a shallow end for the children. The 10 acres of gardens are well worth an exploratory walk.
