About this property
Chateau Duras is a beautiful and historic rural Chateau with private tennis court and heated pool set in the vineyards of South West France. The Chateau is very private yet has easy access to the activities of the Dordogne River, championship golf, markets, towns and restaurants.
The Chateau sleeps 11 in great comfort. All rooms are large and furnished with French antiques and art work. There is a lot of space and fantastic views surrounded by a clipped hedge in 2.5 acres of private grounds. Food and drink are important aspects of the experience and there are splendid places to dine and relax all around the Chateau.
The local village (4km) has an excellent baker. The closest town, Duras, (8km) has supermarkets, shops and leisure facilities. The River Dordogne and Championship golf are both with 15 minutes drive of the Chateau. Bergerac and Ste. Emillion are half an hour away. Bordeaux is an hour and a half minutes drive.
The Chateau is surrounded by local wine and food producers who are happy to conduct tastings. There are walks and outdoor activities throughout the surrounding area. Kayaking on the Dordogne River and go-karting are also available to keep the kids entertained.
A fully comprehensive house-book is provided at the chateau that details all the local things to do, towns and villages to explore. Best of all, it lists and rates the local restaurants and even highlights the ones that you mustn't miss during your stay.
