Description
The Château is a landmark building nested in the Garonne river valley, at the
footstep of the Pyrenees mountains. We are located 45 minutes away from downtown
Toulouse and the Blagnac industrial complex via the A64 highway (direction
Tarbes). Built in the 1520’s, the property has been fully renovated from 1998 to
2002 and offers modern, luxurious facilities in an untouched historical
environment. The Château is situated at the outskirts of the small village of
Saint-Martory and surrounded by 40 hectares of tree plantations, ensuring calm
and relaxation for all. The Château is always rented out as a whole and services
are tailored to the visitors’ needs, which enables us to be a perfect
destination for all types of guests regardless of the purpose of their stay
(e.g. vacations, business meetings, weddings, photo shoots, etc.)
Accommodation
The living areas include two dining rooms, a living room, a billiard room and a
fully functional office/business centre. The formal dining room can be converted
on demand into a spacious conference room with all the necessary equipment.
The historical Salle des Gardes has merely changed over the past five centuries.
Initially a room where the castle’s personnel cooked and guards came for some
heat by the massive fireplace, it has become the primary dining room…and remains
the true centre of the Château The Living Room’s environment is marked by XIXth
century gothic revival : the chimney was redone then based on drawings
representing one of the Chambord castle fireplaces, while the wooden panelling
adds a warm feeling to the place (see History section)
The formal Dining Room is the perfect setting for an exceptional reception with
its impressive perspective and huge fireplace. Yet, it can also be converted
into a conference room with a capacity of 20-25 participants. The Office offers
a quiet space for work, communications and reading. It is equipped with a
fully-functional PC with internet access and all commonly-used software, a
printer and a fax machine. Located on the château's top floor, the Billiard Room
is the perfect place to enjoy a glass of armagnac after dinner. It includes a
large-screen television set with a large choice of DVDs, and a stereo system.
Six spacious rooms with en-suite baths welcome visitors in the most luxurious
settings a true Château has to offer. Each room has been decorated step by step
by the owner over a five-year timeframe, with furniture coming from various
origins (namely countries and dates). Simplicity and attention to details make
each of them unique. All the rooms are equipped with a TV set and a DVD
player.Additional rooms are available at the farmhouse located across the lawn
from the Château. Please contact us for additional details
