En sympatisk vært. Desværre er slottet præget af dårlige løsninger, som fx mangel på flugtveje ift. brand. Mange ikke gennemtænkte løsninger. Swimmingpoolen grøn da vi ankom, først på 3 dag nogenlunde algefri. El er gammel (farlig?) og mangelfuld, og flere lamper i vores værelser uden lys. En dårlig oplevelse - især prisen taget i betragtning

Fantastic Summer Week
Fantastic Summer Week
This is a great place ran by a gentleman who cares. It is not the most modern, but more so than the photos suggest and it works! We were a group of 19 and it worked really well. The pool is much bigger than it looks on the photos and deep enough to dive, the grounds are magnificent. The chateau is large a d each room commensurately so. Most of all the host is thoroughly decent, honest, quick to communicate and react. Massively recommend

Nous avons passé une très bonne semaine dans cette très belle propriété. Au calme, dans un environnement champêtre, nous avons pu profiter de la grande piscine, des tables extérieures, barbecues. La cuisine est très bien équipée et la taille du manoir permet de ne pas être les uns sur les autres (nous etions 15). La

La vraie vie de château !
La vraie vie de château !
Venus à 6 familles, 24 dont 11 adultes et 13 enfants avec un bébé, nous avons passé une super semaine aux Pesquiés: château très vaste, de grandes chambres pour tout le monde, très spacieuses, lumineuses, des salles de bain partout... Et surtout, un vrai chateau, avec des petits et grands salons, un escalier majestueux, une vaste cuisine très bien équipée. Nous avons apprécié la piscine (très bien sécurisée), le ping-pong, le barbecue (énorme), le baby-foot, la giga-table en bois extérieure pour les magnifiques couchers de soleil, et aussi la gentillesse de Christian, le propriétaire, présent et discret, toujours prêt à aider et conseiller. Un super souvenir!

Beautiful property - wonderful holiday. Christian very relaxed and helpful. Great venue for a decent sized group. Recommend Mirepoix for supplies, eating out and market. A little further afield is canyoning in the Pyrenees - superb!
