Chateau Les Carrasses - Languedoc, France
About this Chic Retreat
Chateau Les Carrasses is a stunning 19th-century wine domaine in Languedoc, South of France. “This Cinderella of the south was once overshadowed by gorgeous Provence and the brash Côte d’Azur. Now, she stands as their equal, displaying a discreet charm that her more-visited siblings lost long ago” - is how Lonely Planet perfectly describes the Languedoc region, in fact it is one of Lulu's favourite areas in France. Blending the facilities and standards of larger luxury hotels with the privacy of a luxury villa rental and the service of a boutique hotel, Chateau Les Carrasses has managed to create the idyllic holiday experience for families.
Accommodation
The 28 suites, apartments and villas are all furnished in an elegant country chic style and modelled on the original 19th-century buildings. Many of themm have private gardens and pool with far reaching views. The owners have thought of everything whilst building this magnificent property, always with the guest in mind. Expect fully-equipped kitchens, TV and DVD players, satellite TV, iPod and docking station, WiFi, air-conditioning and top quality bed linen and towels (including pool towels) as standard. Several of the apartments are adapted for disabled use.
Activities
Chateau Les Carrasses has beautiful and extensive gardens featuring a stunning infinity pool, floodlit clay tennis, boulodrome and barbecue area, conservatory, orchard and olive grove. The infinity pool isn't just any old pool it is a huge 20 x 8 metres complete with massage jets and a beach effect so you can lounge in the water. Surrounding the pool is a large sun terrace, hot tub and loungers.
Children are very welcome at Les Carrasses. During the high season there is a children’s Summer Camp (subject to a minimum number of children) 6 days a week, with qualified staff and a wide range of activities and events, with the emphasis on the outdoors.
