More about the Chateau:
The Chateau is located on the edge of a pretty village with its own jetty and direct access to the river Lot. The Chateau sits within 5 acres of private gardens with mature trees and lawns. The large terrace is ideal for dining and relaxing. With its round turreted staircase and balconied landing the Chateau appears to have come straight out of a fairytale. The Chateau has been lovingly restored and refurbished to provide luxury accommodation for your holiday. In addition to a large kitchen with a fantastic range oven, there is a games room with full size pool table. For outdoor use there is a table tennis table, fishing boat and canoe.
Location:
The area is packed full of activities if you can tear yourself away from the poolside. The bustling towns of Villeneuve and Agen are a short car ride away. It is a food lovers paradise. There are are restaurants to cater for all tastes and budgets. If you prefer to cook for yourselves, the local markets offer wonderfully fresh local produce. They are fantastic for a morning out, experiencing the French way of life. In addition, there are many farm shops, including Tuilleries Farm which is just 100 meters from the Chateau, for you to purchase and try the locally grown food. TUILLERIES FARM RECENTLY APPEARED ON RICK STEINS - A FRENCH ODYSSEY. The Lot et Garonne and Dordogne area are steeped in history. For those with more energy, the range of sports activities is great.
How to get here:
Chateau Caillac is extremely accessible with Bergerac airport only 45 minutes drive away. There are daily low cost flights with Ryanair flying from Stansted, Nottingham and Liverpool and Flybe flying from Southampton, Bristol, Birmingham and Exeter. Bordeaux airport is only about 1hr 30 minutes drive away, with Toulouse a similar distance. There is car hire available at all the airports. We find that the most relaxing drive from the UK is from St Malo in about 7 hours, leaving Portsmouth with Brittany Ferries and throughout the summer they are doing night crossings both ways. Although it is not the cheapest ferry, it is a great way to start the holiday. A slightly longer drive is from Calais in about 10 hours. There are fast links by train by Eurostar (Waterloo/Ashford) with connections to Bergerac, Marmande and Libourne. Marmande is the quickest and is only 30 minutes away. You can also motorail to Brive which is approximately 2 hours drive away.
