Château de Carsac - Self-catering in Dordogne
Le Bourg Sud, 24610 Carsac De Gurson, Dordogne
Aquitaine,
Francia
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.

Local points of interest from Justine & Michael Elliott:
Puntos de interés sobre la región de
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.
