Set in a magnificent position, and surrounded by 125 acre of its own land, Château Cardou is a perfect size for a holiday with family and friends.

There are wonderful views across and up the Vallée d'Or (Golden Valley), and for a distance of over 20 km to the pretty hilltop town of Monflanquin (one the most historically intact examples of a medieval bastide town). The approach is up a long private drive, through a plantation of young firs and hardwood trees amongst beautiful mature chestnut, cherry and ash.

Bedrooms

Floorplan

There are three double bedrooms on the ground floor, each with en-suite bath or shower rooms; off these bedrooms are 3 dressing rooms which may be used as children's bedrooms. Downstairs, there is a twin-bedded room with its own shower room.

From the dining hall, the stairs lead to the top floor where there are two charming tower rooms, each with a double bed and its own bathroom. These rooms have magnificent views up and down the valley to the east and west. Then there is a huge attic playroom (with satellite Television and DVD), off which are 3 further small twin bedded rooms with additional showers and lavatories.
