The Experience

This former wine château dates from the 1700s and overlooks vineyards and the ruins of 14th century Château de Gurson. The inside is grand without being too precious, making it a relaxing place for a gathering of friends or family.

The spacious kitchen has everything you need to cook for a full house, and there are several places to eat outside, as well as two barbecue areas. Find a welcome hamper with two bottles of wine – one from each neighbour – plus beer, cake, pâté, crisps, sweets and treats for the dog. Sink into the comfy sofas and armchairs in the two big sitting rooms – one has a TV, the other a wood-burner – and choose from the books and games, or simply sit out on the terrace and gaze at the view.

The Lac de Gurson, a fresh-water swimming lake with lifeguards and a café, is 2.5 kilometres away and you can paddle-board or kayak on the Dordogne – or stay home and swim in the pool. Spend the day exploring the six acres of wonderful grounds, orchard with heritage fruit trees and the many vineyards nearby – Saint-Émilion is close by too.

Reviews

From your seat on the terrace looking across the vines to the ruins of the Chateau de Gurson on the opposite hill you feel like you're on top of the world. A big family friendly pool invites you in and the park and the lakes encourage you to unleash the explorer inside! A wonderful mixed orchard means that there are fruits from May to September and there's a swing in the garden or a hammock in the park too.

We had a super family holiday at Chateau de Carsac and loved every minute of it. It worked so well for a family ranging for 2 to 72! We had a very warm welcome; the owners and housekeeper could not have been more helpful and accommodating. Thank you.

We had a wonderful stay at the chateau, it surpassed all of our expectations. Communication was excellent and the local hosts couldn’t be more helpful. Would love to return!

We had a wonderful week in this well equipped chateau. It is in a lovely spot next to a church (which peals during the day) and walking distance to a lake with free paddle boarding! The chateau is lovely and spacious, the grounds delightful. It had everything we needed and a lovely welcome pack as well. Highly recommended.

Location

The neighbourhood

Villefranche de Lonchat is less than 10 minutes away, and has a bakery that does daily deliveries; there are also a couple of places to eat and a bar. Head down to the night market every Friday evening in the summer too. The nearest good restaurant is Bucket's Auberge Inn in Montazeau, also a 10-minute drive. Bergerac (with an airport) is 40 minutes away, St Émilion is 35 minutes away and Bordeaux is just over an hour.

Local points of interest from Justine & Michael Elliott

  • Just over a mile away, the ruined Chateau de Gurson overlooks the Lac de Gurson, a charming swimming lake with beach, playground, cafe, and kayaking and paddle boarding in the summer months.
  • Cycling and walking routes thread their way between villages and vineyards in the beautiful countryside around the chateau. Just next door, Vincent the vigneron makes the excellent Reve de Ternac wine, and always welcomes visitors to taste and buy.
  • You're 30 minutes from St Emilion, a remarkable medieval town at the centre of one of the world's premier wine regions. Stroll the cobbled streets, explore the life of the eponymous saint, buy fabulous wine and have lunch in one of the many great bistros.
  • The chic, cosmopolitan city of Bordeaux is just an hour away. From flea markets to designer boutiques to the foodie heaven of the Marché du Capucins, there's shopping for everyone. Bordeaux also boasts museums, theatres and a thriving culinary scene.
  • Dordogne markets are full of life, and a chance to find local specialties like heritage vegetables, foie gras, and Perigord truffles. The Saturday market in St Foy le Grande, just 15 minutes away, has been voted one of the best markets in France.
  • For trips further afield, the beaches and surfing of Arcachon and Cap Ferret are reachable for a day trip, as are the castles, caves and bastide towns of the upper Dordogne.

Introducing

Justine & Michael Elliott

Michael and Justine bought the château and gites as an escape from their busy London life (she's an anaesthetist, he's a technology manager) and want their two sons to have the opportunity to have a great outside adventure. Their neighbours, Jill and Bill, act as property managers and will do the meet and greet.
