Gers holiday chateau / country house: Gazaupouy

We have just spent an amazing week at Chateau Dehes. The accommodation is superb; every little thing that you could imagine wanting/needing on a self catering holiday is supplied, from wonderful cook books and big comfy beds to badminton nets and rackets. The Chateau itself is breathtaking and such a fantastic place to explore. The surrounding countryside is stunning, although we were reluctant to venture out of the Chateau's grounds because they are absolutely beautiful and so tranquil! The sunrises and sunsets are lovely and I haven't seen so many stars in years...magical! The pool is a good size and decent depth so perfect for both adults and children. The local villages have wonderful bakeries, cafes and restaurants run by very friendly people.

It's impossible to cover all the lovely things about this place, especially when literally everything has been carefully thought of by the owners so that you are left wanting for nothing; they have created the perfect balance between modern comfort and original charm.

So, if you are looking for a peaceful, relaxing holiday in a magical setting then this is definitely the place to go. I can't imagine finding anywhere else as enchanting as Chateau Dehes, it's a true gem.

Chateau Dehes is a truly outstanding castle surrounded by the most enchanting countryside. Arriving after a long drive from London your first impressions, as you glimpse the chateau through the rolling hills, are truly magical, a feeling that remains with you for the rest of your holiday...With the kids rushing to be the first in the pool, the adults can start preparing for a truly relaxing holiday that just seems to tick all the boxes.

The sheer quality of the chateau, the grounds and the amenities are as good as anywhere I’ve personally visited and surpass many supposed 5* hotels I’ve stayed in...The kids, all six of them, never seem to tire of the place with the opportunity to swim, play badminton, table tennis, boules or just simply explore the surrounding countryside.

The most important aspect of the whole place to me is that it truly feels like a ‘home from home’ and you can instantly unwind and forget all of the pressures of everyday life. If you can drag yourselves away from the chateau there are many places worth visiting with local markets and real food in abundance...an absolute must being the local produce from the patisserie at La Romieu, where the croissants and bread taste like should, but so rarely do nowadays.

No review would do justice without mentioning Jennifer (the lucky owner) who is always helpful and absolutely charming to deal with...she has also somehow managed to find the perfect guardian, Jean-Pierre, who is always there to help, full of fascinating anecdotes but is never intrusive.

I can’t recommend Chateau Dehes enough and the fact that I’ve stayed there three years on the trot speaks for itself.

We had a wonderful stay at Déhès. It's a very relaxing and peaceful place where the children could play around safely. In the middle of the countryside, there are some nice views on the field and on the village all around. The house was perfect and comfortable with a range of nice pieces of furniture, and the charm of historic place. The large rooms, with nice decor, provided us all the space we could need. And the swimming pool + garden were very well maintained . I want to tell also that the person in charge of the maintenance was very nice and helpful for every questions we could have regarding the property or the neighbourhood. In conclusion, we would definitely recommend this property for perfect holidays in this sunny part of France.
