I'd prefer to have a lock on the bedroom door.

Very friendly host who made lots of effort with his guests and spoke excellent English, the possibility of a lovely homecooked dinner as well as breakfast, great atmosphere and very easy to feel safe and have a great sleep. Lovely dog too.

Nothing to dislike

We were delighted to discover this beautiful tranquil getaway. From before we even arrived, Fred ensured all would run smoothly, with a courtesy phone call the night before. Arriving at the secure gate, we were warmly welcomed, as Fred helped carry our bags into the chateau to our room. The building is over 300 years old and has been meticulously renovated by the owner himself. It is warm, inviting and tastefully decorated. Our room was very clean, tastefully decorated, and charming with shuttered windows and the view of the lovely back garden. The ensuite is roomy, and the rain shower, luxurious. The bed is super comfortable, and the quiet, relaxing environment ensured a good night’s sleep. Fred is a wonderful host, ensuring we were well catered for, he’s a superb cook and a genial host (you must try the cloudy eggs). He has extensive local knowledge, and we enjoyed his company immensely. We also enjoyed the company of his very well behaved dog, Achilles. The outdoor area is beautifully appointed, with a temperature controlled swimming pool, bbq area, comfortable seating and (soon to be) jacuzzi. The garden is relaxing to stroll around, with ducks and deer out the back of the property. We are planning to return so we can stay here again, and see more of Toulouse. Thank you Fred. In essence, we thoroughly recommend this property.

What a wonderful surprise! Fred was so generous with his time, home, and local knowledge, and warmly welcomed us to his little patch of paradise. Beautiful accommodation, and peaceful yet accessible location. Can only strongly recommend staying here!

Nothing. We had a lovely stay.

The owner was fabulous. From arrival to departure, we were made to feel welcome.

The accommodation was not exactly as described, although it didn't prevent us from having a good time and Fred's warm welcome more than made up for any disappointments. The circular staircase might be difficult for people with mobility issues. The downstairs bedroom has a (very) bijou shower room, but the toilet is down the corridor. This may be an issue for some people, but didn't worry us. The mosquitoes were a real pest despite various deterrents so, in season, take plenty of insect repellent. There is no credit card facility to pay for meals, so cash is needed.

We had a great time staying with Fred. I was smitten with his dogs as they were delightful. Fred was extremely hospitable, a great cook and good company. We appreciated all that he did for us to make us feel welcome.

We had an absolutely amazing experience staying here. The house and interior design is stunning. I got a lot of inspiration for how I want to renovate my own home. And Fred is a wonderful host, who made sure we had everything we needed and more. Highly recommended this place and wish we could have stayed longer!

Like a visit at good friend. Very private.

If only it had been possible to stay a week there. We originally intended to do a “fly-by” one-night stay. However suddenly the weather changed which gave us an excuse to stay a second night. Just a note of warning, if you are allergic or have cynophobia, a fear of dogs, the resident canine is a long haired, medium large “bundle of love” who is very friendly to put it lightly.

Let’s start with location. For me, Toulouse is a perfect place to take a break when heading westward in the south of France. For example if you are going from Nice to La Rochelle the Chateau is a comfortable day’s drive. Situated approximately 8km northwest from the city center and hidden away on the countryside, it is an easy jump back onto the main auto-route (highway) that leads to the west coast and relatively close to the airport as well. Our host, and his two year old Border Collie, Achilles, warmly welcomed us as we rolled in through their front gates. (#24, use the doorbell/camera to communicate and gain access) The exterior, interior design, swimming pool all were exactly as pictured in the website. Big bed, beautiful flowers and trees in the large garden. The owner, a true Renaissance man and motorcyclist, not only has single-handedly done almost all of the remodeling here, but he is a talented amateur chef as well. We had an excellent continental-plus breakfast and on our second night we had a home-made seafood dinner. I believe there are plans to make dinners available with an obligatory advance notice, we were the first “test case”. We were very pleased. For the practical minded, there are many car repair and service shops along the way, as you will see as you head toward “Fenouillett” - the village where the Chateau is hidden. Also there is an immense shopping mall 2km away with a cinema, basketball shoes, sushi.
