Château de la Fosse - Self-catering in Gironde
33220 Riocaud, Gironde
Aquitaine,
France
Both couples and families with children will be happy in these spaces, with room to spread out both inside and out. Interiors are authentic with wooden floors, ancient beams, white walls and terracotta tiled floors. Kitchens have all the gear plus basics for cooking and you’re left bread, homemade jams, milk, butter and a bottle of wine from the local vineyard.
The pool is safely fenced and you have all the rose-filled gardens to roam as well as your own private outdoor terraces for sunny breakfasts or cooler, shady meals during the heat of the day. You'll only hear birdsong and the occasional honk from the owners' geese.
It’s a short hop to a good bakery for your morning croissants and there are many cafés and restaurants. In season you can enjoy fresh produce from the garden.

Local points of interest from Pascaline Piechaud:
Points d'intérêt locaux proposés par
Pascaline Piechaud:
- Our village Riocaud (“warm stream” in patois) is on the border of Gironde and Lot et Garonne and offers many lovely walks through the vineyards and woods.
- Duras is 9 kilometers away, a charming place with a fine chateau towering over the countryside. It has a good market on Monday and plenty of events. There are markets in many of the local Bastide towns, St Foy, Eymet, Issigeac all a fairly easy drive.
- Fifteen minutes drive will take you to the Chateau de Vigiers with a fine golf course, a bistro and a Michelin starred restaurant. There are many other good restaurants within easy reach.
- The whole area is covered with vineyards with many Chateaux worth a visit, and a tasting. The Grand Cru of St Emilion is a pleasant 45 minute drive away.
- The beautiful Dordogne river lies just 9 kilometers away, St Foy being the nearest point. There, or at many idyllic spots further up the river you can hire a kayak for a 2 hour or day long paddle down stream!
- If you are feeling idle then just stay at home and enjoy the pool or play various games, ping pong, croquet, boules are all available. Beyond the croquet lawn stands a magnificent Pecan tree, the largest in Europe, 5 meters 40 cm circumference, a Beauty!
