Overview
Set in 50 acres of park and woodland where deers graze early in the morning, beautiful Château Siregarde has been finished to a high standard and successfully combines old-world charm with modern day amenities including the heated 20m-long swimming pool.
This traditional French château is generously proportioned over two floors with a splendid grand hall, numerous reception rooms and a characterful kitchen to enchant the keenest of French cooks. Step back in time across the eleven individually decorated bedrooms – from grand doubles with en suite bathrooms to simpler singles, there are flexible sleeping arrangements for up to 17 guests.
You are warmly welcomed on arrival with a light supper accompanied by wine. There is a superb 18th century terrace at the front of the château, perfect for al-fresco lunches with family and friends, and guests have use of the gas and charcoal barbecue to make the most of dining in the garden. It’s a very short stroll across to the heated swimming pool with its relaxing poolside terrace overlooking the garden and trees.
Originally landscaped in an English fashion, the garden and vast grounds are magnificent – look out for ancient trees including a 350-year old cedar tree as well as a large pond with nesting ducks. Other original features across the parkland include the remains of the 18th century dairy (now home to table tennis and table football) and a stable dating back to the early 19th century. Admire wild flowers across the fields in the spring and summer or wild mushrooms including cêpes amongst the trees in the autumn months. The 25-acres of unspoilt woodland is magical.
Located in a rural hamlet, there is an old village less than a 10-minute drive away with restaurants, an excellent butchers and a supermarket whilst the small market town of Cazères, by the banks of the Garonne, is 15km by car. Take long walks and enjoy picnics by the river and, in the height of the summer, discover boating, canoeing and more adventurous watersports at Cazères’ Base Nautique.
Food lovers note that Cazères hosts a picturesque market on a Saturday morning where local farmers showcase their produce. Meanwhile, there are plenty of other great markets in nearby towns - the Monday morning market in Samatan is especially worthy of your time (well-known for its quality poultry and winter ‘fat market’).
Spend the day in Toulouse, La Ville Rose, so loved for its pink-hued stone architecture and fascinating heritage. This cosmopolitan city is also famed for its fantastic markets, art galleries, food and wine scene as well as its attractive setting by the Garonne River. To explore the city’s surroundings, hire bikes and cycle along the towpath of the Canal du Midi for a truly wonderful experience in southern France.
What you should know…
- The château sleeps a maximum of 17 guests across a range of bedrooms - please see the 'Layout' tab for further details.

- The château caretaker and housekeeper are really lovely - they live on site in a cottage within the grounds and the housekeeper can also help with catering with advance notice.

This home is a part of our Great Value and Heritage Collection!
This is a historic home, and as such:
- It has probably been standing for over 100 years, which means it's full of historic value and charm but it may also have one or two quirks!
- Some of the decor and furnishings may not be brand new, but that should not detract from your holiday experience in this unique setting that allows you to take a step back in time!

Region
A relatively new addition to France, the Midi-Pyrénées was created to surround the cultural capital of Toulouse in the late 1970s. You might think that its relative youth would mean the Midi-Pyrénées is short on character or identity, but remember, this is France we’re talking about – the whole country is steeped in history and tradition. Encompassing parts of Gascony, Languedoc, the Gers and several others, you’ll get a varied slice of the whole French experience here, not least if you stay at one of our beautiful chateaux in the Midi-Pyrénées! And if you want to discover the best of what the region has to offer, our Midi-Pyrénées travel guide is here to show you where to go, what to eat and how you can make the best of your break with some amazing activities.
Kids
Best Suited For: All AgesSet in a wonderful garden and vast grounds, there is plenty of space to play with children and enjoy the glorious swimming pool. Early risers may be fortunate enough to see deer grazing on the fields. Later in the day, enjoy nature and wildlife walks through the 25-acres of unspoilt woodland. There is table tennis, table football and pétanque in the former dairy and garden.
It’s great being around a 15 to 20-minute drive from the Garonne River. Head to the market town of Cazères where there is an attractive riverside park popular with families for walks and picnics, also home to a playground. On the other side of the river discover the Base Nautique, usually open in the height of the summer for pedal boats, canoeing and other river-based activities.
Families may also appreciate Tépacap Toulouse, around a 20-minute drive away, for tree-top trails, games, soft play and plenty of other activities (suitable for children aged 2+). It’s next to the charming Ferme Du Paradis, an animal park with over 100 species of animals, pony rides and other attractions for children (mini train, trampolines, inflatables etc).
Elsewhere across the region, enjoy tennis, horse-riding, 9-hole golf, long walks and lovely cycle rides. Toulouse is also a great day out for all the family – why not hire a boat or bikes to explore the wonderful Canal du Midi.

Most beautiful week
Thank you patrick for the most beautiful week! I felt perfectly content within 5 minutes of being here - testament to the wonderful home you have created here.
It was a delight from start to finish & i cant wait to return! -
Fantastic two-week holiday
We were a party of 14 - 10 adults and 4 children (ages 1 to 7) and we loved the pool area and spent most of our time there.
Our stay coincided with the annual village feast. Good fun to attend but very noisy and the disco went on until 4:00 a.m!
We made extensive use of Marie, the cook, and can highly recommend her. The roast meat was quite exceptional.
We would love to return to this great house and explore the area in more detail. -
Wonderful home
I would like to thank you on behalf of all of us who have stayed in your wonderful home over the last two weeks.
Ellie and Simon have felt this morning and i should like to put some of our thoughts into words.
We were 12 in total from Germany, England, Scotland and Finland (plus the dogs)
We loved the walks around the house here and we had wonderful evenings eating out the patio.
The chateau was a haven of peace and calm and was so well equipped.
The pool was so much fun too. Polo, badminton, volleyball. I am now looking for a wind chime like yours. I love it!
May peace continue to reign here. -
Thank you
What a privilege to stay in this beautiful chateaux. So many more questions to ask about its history and restoration and the collection of art and artefacts.
As a large family of 12 adults and 6 children ages 4-6 yrs, we loved the kitchen, hall, dining room (board games), al fresco dinners, endless pool, team soccer games, exploring the woods, bike rides, a family hike or two and such quiet bedrooms!! -
A fantastic week
Just a quick note to say how much we enjoyed our week at Chateau Siregarde. The kitchen is the centre of every house and it was cool, airy and spacious. The owners had left all the utensils and basic food essentials that you need as well as a complimentary quiche. The other rooms in the chateau were in excellent condition and there were some really great features such as a billiard room and some secret stairways that the kids enjoyed exploring. The covered area by the pool (with nearby fridge) meant that it was possible to relax outside for many hours without getting frazzled. The rental cost also included cleaning of the kitchen area each morning which was a very nice touch. The only downside was intermittent wifi which was outside of the owner's control.
I would strongly recommend the chateau for any groups (including children) looking for a luxurious stay in the South of France at a reasonable cost.

Relaxing time away
the kids spent their time in the pool or playing football on the lawn, leaving us adults free to relax around the pool while enjoying the beautiful sunshine, reading and contemplating which delicacy from the local market we might have for dinner. Bliss.
-
We hope to be back next year!
We hope to be back next year to explore more of the area. there is so much to see and there couldn't be a more comfortable and homely base than Chateau Siregarde ... thank you for a wonderful time!
-
What a special place this was.
Thank you so much for allowing us to experience the serenity of your home. We have savored every moment. This is a special time for us and the peace we felt while here was a balm.

This truly is an undiscovered gem
This truly is an undiscovered gem. The chateau is a tranquil and magical place surrounded by the most stunning countryside. I attended a yoga retreat here and spent a week enjoying the magnificent house, grounds and pool. The grounds are vast, so plenty of space to explore and staying in the house really takes you back to a bygone era. While huge and rambling, there is a definite 'homely' feel, and it has been so lovingly looked after. I'm hoping to be able to return to the chateau with my family, so I can share the wonderful experience.

Siregarde
The owner recently completed an impressive restoration of the place, and yet it felt untouched, like there should be velvet ropes everywhere guarding each authentic detail from the likes of modern us. But there weren't. I could sit in every deliciously upholstered chair, walk across every stone checkered floor, touch every ceramic knob. I wanted to skip through all the rooms and look through all the drawers and walk wistfully through the fields.
Don't miss out! Reserve now and get a full refund if you change your mind within 48hrs.
