Gourmet Castle in Bordeaux, Aquitaine

Gourmet Castle Self-Catering

Gourmet Castle is a little atypical, but in the best possible way. It's a little castle, which combines the beat features of larger chateaus with the intimacy of a holiday villa. With charming turrets and a huge garden that you can explore to your heart's content, this home is a great countryside escape for those looking for a beautiful backdrop to their adventures. Come in, drop your bags, and look around the regal bedrooms. Lounge on the king bed here for a moment, appreciating the space and light that fills this room. Curl up with a good book in the salon, and whip up a glorious meal in the rustic kitchen, then decide whether you want to done outdoors or indoors in the antique dining room. The host team here is absolutely brilliant — aside from being available at any time of day, they're also happy to organise a variety of in-house activities for you. Think babysitting, private chefs, and a local caretaker who's more than happy to help you find things to do in the area

Home truths:
* There are steps in this home — those with limited mobility will only be able to access the ground floor amenities
* Any events happening on the premises need to be authorised by the host first
* You'll need a car to get around the area comfortably — the public transport isn't frequent enough
