Château Cardou is set in a magnificent position in the middle of its 125 acre estate, commanding the Vallée d'Or (the Golden Valley). It is a perfect size for a holiday with family and friends.

The Château is surrounded by its own land and enjoys wonderful views across and up its valley (just South of the river Lot) and for a distance of over 20 km to the hilltop bastide town of Monflanquin. The approach is up a long private drive, through a plantation of firs and tiny hardwood trees amongst beautiful mature chestnut, specimen firs, cherry and ash.

Bedrooms

There are three double bedrooms on the ground floor each with en-suite bath or shower rooms; off these bedrooms are 3 dressing rooms which may be used as children's bedrooms. Downstairs there is a twin-bedded room with its own shower room.

From the dining hall, the stairs lead to the top floor where there are two delightful tower rooms each with a double bed and its own bathroom. These rooms have magnificent views up and down the valley to the east and west. Then there is a huge attic playroom with a lofty ceiling, supported by lovely oak beams, off which are 3 further small twin bedded rooms and additional showers and lavatories.
