A Traditional French Castle with an Artistic Twist

There is something quite magical about this art castle in the southwest of France, which is available to rent in its entirety as a vacation home.

With the help of more than 20 well-known artists from all over the world, such as Spencer Fung, Eriko Horiki, Antoni Gaudi and Nestor Perkal, Chateau Marteret has been turned into an exceptional designer hideaway.

The traditional space has been restored carefully, retaining its original features, but it is now adorned with a striking collection of contemporary art and unusual furnishings.

For nature lovers, it’s also a dream come true. The castle is located in the foothills of the Pyrenees on 180 hectares of woodlands, wild hedgerows, orchards, organic farming fields, vineyard, and biotopes — making this a great villa for rent in France for families and groups of friends, as well as events.

Description

This villa for rent in France features seven double rooms and can accommodate 2-14 guests. It is perfectly suited for relaxing family holidays as well as weddings, business meetings and seminars.

Fifteen meters behind the chateau, and surrounded in meadows, is the former Dovecote ‘‘le pigeonnier”. The two-storey tower with its numerous small windows makes a comfortable nest for two.

ADDITIONAL FEATURES

The property offers many possibilities for activity, including swimming, trampolining, archery, boules, cycling and table tennis. The Château’s own horses, of the robust and calm Merens pyrenean-breed, are available for rides with the possibility of having a guide. A piano is available.

AROUND

The chateau is located in the Occitanie region of France, in the department of Gers, Hautes-Pyrénées. Auch, which is known for its Renaissance Cathédrale Sainte-Marie, is the historical capital of Gascogne and within easy reach for a day trip. The local culture is largely agricultural, with great emphasis on the local gastronomical specialties.

There is a private lake with sandy beach just 200m from the house, perfect for swimming and relaxing. Other activities in the area include tennis, golf, kayaking, ballooning, sightseeing flights, thermal baths, boating, hiking and quad tours.
