Chateau Mezard

The villa

Beyond the sweeping landscapes of Gascony, Château Mézard rises with regal poise from 42 acres of private estate. This wonderfully restored 13th - century château offers the rare chance to step into a slice of French history, where timeless architecture meets high - end comfort. With panoramic views across undulating Gers countryside and a south - facing façade, every detail of this home invites lingering afternoons, long feasts and unhurried moments.

Inside, original stonework, vast fireplaces and period features have been preserved and elevated with understated sophistication. Seven individually styled bedrooms, including a magnificent master suite with private balcony and loggia terrace, ensure space and privacy for up to 12 guests. The living areas feel both grand and welcoming, with a formal dining room, a library, games room and a tower chill - out room upstairs. The kitchen is classic Gascony: warm, generous and exceptionally well - equipped, opening out to a vine - draped courtyard and summer dining room that comes alive in the evening glow.

Days here unfold with gentle rhythm. Wander through the formal gardens, take a book to one of the many terraces or float lazily in the private, heated pool as the valley stretches beyond. Table tennis, snooker and a wine store promise relaxed entertainment, whilst daily maid service ensures effortless comfort throughout your stay.
