About This Villa

The old bones of this 14th century château in Midi-Pyrénées stand proudly on a hectare of green parkland. With sweeping views over the surrounding territory (known for sunflower and wine production), your guests will commune with this countryside on the edge of the Dordogne. Inside, refined authentic furnishings let the château's character shine; stone walls, well-loved brick fireplaces, and mysterious spiral stairs suggest a storied past.

Whilst being a historic home, Château D'Ax is also charming holiday accommodation offering modern comforts including quality bedding, comfortable living areas both inside and out, a home cinema and a recently upgraded kitchen with up-to-date appliances.

Up to 26 guests can spread out on the grounds here - they’ll especially love the swimming pool in the summertime and the beautiful terrace with an exceptional view over the preserved landscape - the perfect setting for lovely gatherings at all times with its long tables, outdoor furnishings and barbecue. 

Furthermore, a separate apartment in the château lends extra privacy for a large family - it features its own kitchen and living area, and a dorm room with five single beds for the kids.

Just 8km away is Tournon-d'Agenais, a lovely 13th century village with a central square and charming stone arcades – make sure you try some of the delicious apple-based dessert 'tourtiere' during your visit.

One of France’s most beautiful villages, Pujols, is around half an hour away or spend time visiting the Malbec producing vineyards surrounding the gorgeous town of Cahors on the Lot river. Then there’s canoeing, biking and hiking through the Lot and Célé valleys, castle ruins and many enchanting bastide villages and market towns.

You may fly in through Bergerac, a hub of wine-related commerce for the Dordogne (and certainly worth a pause on your way to the château!).
