The chateau’s large, heated swimming pool is open from May until October and is the ideal place to enjoy those precious and rare moments of relaxation. The pool is situated inside a fenced (walled) parcel, about 50 meters away from the chateau’s tower. The chateau is easy to access, a quick 45-minute drive from Toulouse International airport with several daily connections to all major European cities. The property can accommodate 20 adults in 10 bedrooms, seven of which are at the chateau and three at the farmhouse across the lawn. Extra beds for children are available upon request. The unique combination of elegant living spaces and gorgeous historical suites offers a backdrop for the unforgettable holiday you have always dreamed of. Certainly, luxury living at its best!
CHATEAU INTERIOR:
The living areas include two dining rooms, a living room, a fully functional office/business center and a billiard/games room. The historical Guard’s Room (Salle des Gardes) has merely changed over the past five centuries. Initially a room where the castle‘s personnel cooked and guards came seeking some comfort by its massive fireplace, it has become the primary dining room and remains the true heart of the Chateau. The Formal (Yellow) dining room is a very elegant place for an exclusive Gala dinner. It can also be converted into a conference room with a capacity of 30 to 40 participants. The Red Living Room is a perfect example of 19th century Gothic Revival. The massive chimney was redone at the time, based on an existing model from Chateau de Blois in the Loire valley. The addition of wooden paneling by the Architect Ruprich Robert gives a very warm feeling to this \"salon\", which is often used for drinks/aperitif before dinner.
The Office, formerly a chapel, is located at the ground floor of the main tower. It is a quiet space for work, communications and reading. It offers reliable, high speed wi-fi access and a printer, along with a widescreen TV with hundreds of channels available. Located on the chateau’s top floor, the Billiard Room is the perfect place to enjoy a glass of Armagnac after dinner. It is also the chateau’s screening room: its large TV has access to major international channels through satellite connection, and guests can enjoy a large choice of DVDs.
The historical bedrooms rooms have been decorated over a ten-year time frame by the current owner and are unique in style, offering the cozy feeling and charm that have made the reputation of Chateau Garonne. The Cathedral suite, however, is surprisingly modern as one can see from the photos. Created in 2008, it offers a unique view of the chateau’s roof structure (namely its original oak wood beams), 5-meter high ceilings, and has been decorated with contemporary art, an owner-designed, and 1950’s and 1960’s Brazilian furniture. All the bathrooms, except the Cathedral’s, have large retro bathtubs. Six of the bedrooms offer queen or king size while one of them offers two spacious single beds.
FARMHOUSE:
In addition to the chateau’s seven luxurious suites, the owners can also host additional guests at the farmhouse located just across the lawn, 100 meters away. Three additional double rooms and two bathrooms are available in this building dating back to the mid nineteenth century, bringing the total capacity to 20 adults plus as many children as you want. The farmhouse rooms also hosts Bed & Breakfast clients in the winter months.
