Château de Carsac
Dordogne, France
Le Chalet
The barn of the chateau has been converted to make a sunny gite with spectacular views. Perfect for a couple or family of four, the chalet can be rented individually or alongside the chateau.
The entrance to the chalet opens into a kitchen diner, with terracotta flooring and traditional stone walls. Full height folding doors open onto the terrace with gas barbecue, seating, and access to the garden. The kitchen is equipped with a range cooker, microwave, fridge freezer and washing machine, as well as all the equipment you'll need for enjoying fresh local produce. An oak dining table seats six.
From the dining area, stairs lead up to the mezzanine master bedroom and en suite bathroom with bath and shower.
A separate lounge has sofas, a wood-burning stove, TV and DVD player. This room can be converted to a second bedroom with double sofa bed, suitable for children.
The chalet is surrounded by a garden with old walls, lawns for playing or lounging, and uninterrupted views over the countryside around.
La Maison du Gardien
This former vineyard worker's cottage is now a lovely hideaway for two, neighbouring the beautiful church of Carsac-de-Gurson.
In the shade of an old fig tree, sits the entrance to the chateau gatehouse. Downstairs there is lounge with sofas, wood burning stove, TV, DVD player and wifi. The kitchen has an oven, microwave and fridge freezer, and a kitchen table. There's a downstairs cloakroom.
Upstairs is a king size bed, with the option of an extra bed for children. The bedroom has a shower and handbasin.
There is original stone and woodwork throughout, giving La Maison du Gardien a real French country feel.
