Chateau Les Deux Cygnes | 7-Bedroom Chateau in Glatens Goas

A 19th-century château commanding hilltop views across southwestern France—Chateau Les Deux Cygnes in Glatens sits on five rolling acres where fourteen guests and seven bedrooms mean genuine space to breathe. The Midi-Pyrenees location delivers what Tuscany promises: sunflower fields, medieval villages, and kitchens that demand proper cooking.

Inside Chateau Les Deux Cygnes

Chateau Les Deux Cygnes sleeps 16 guests across 7 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms. The ground floor opens with a library for quiet work, a lounge anchored by fireplace and 50-inch Smart TV, and a kitchen built for ambitious entertaining. This kitchen commands respect: electric range with two ovens, plate warmer, triple induction hobs, two dishwashers, island seating, and a refrigerator that never runs empty. A separate dining table seats 10 inside the kitchen; the Orangerie dining room on the north wing accommodates 20.

Ground floor sleeping arrangements offer flexibility. One bedroom features a king bed (180x200cm) with air-conditioning and en suite shower, designed for guests with mobility considerations. A second bedroom holds twin beds (90x200cm each) with a separate WC. The south wing bedroom adopts a different character: a ground-floor double bed (140x200cm) with a raised mezzanine platform accessed by ladder, housing a king bed (180x200cm) upstairs for flexibility with teen guests—this wing has an en suite shower and laundry facilities.

The master bedroom upstairs commands the principal position: king bed (180x200cm), air-conditioning, en suite bathroom with bath, shower, and twin sinks. Three additional upstairs bedrooms provide consistent comfort. One holds a king bed (180x200cm) with air-conditioning and en suite shower. Another offers a queen bed (160x200cm) with air-conditioning, bath, and shower. The final upstairs bedroom has twin beds (90x200cm each), air-conditioning, and an en suite bathroom with bath. All five main-house bedrooms feature air-conditioning; all include premium mattresses, pure cotton linens, and rainfall showers or standalone bath tubs.

Outdoor Spaces and Living

Step from the Orangerie and the grounds reveal themselves gradually. The walled courtyard frames a covered terrace with space for 16 diners. A heated swimming pool (10 metres by 4 metres, 2 metres deep) operates year-round, heating from approximately mid-May through mid-October. Child safety fencing surrounds the pool area. Sun loungers line the deck.

The five acres slope gently into meadow and woodland. A children’s play zone contains swings, a slide, and trampoline. Croquet sets rest in the grass. Pathways thread through the woods—proper walking territory, not token paths. From the hilltop position, views sweep across the Gascony landscape: rolling terrain, distant villages, the kind of unobstructed vista that justifies the architectural effort of a hilltop château.

A barbecue stands ready in the garden dining area. The covered terrace functions in any season. Everything suggests unhurried time: the heating pool for May arrivals, the woodland for afternoon rambles, the croquet for inter-generational competition that stops conversation briefly.

Location: Glatens and the Surrounding Area

Glatens occupies that sweet spot in the Tarn-et-Garonne département, near the Gers border, where rural genuineness meets convenient access. The château sits in a hamlet near the church and mairie, with only scattered neighbouring properties—genuine quiet with genuine infrastructure nearby.

Beaumont-de-Lomagne, a 14th-century bastide town, lies 6.5km away (nine-minute drive). Its Saturday morning market displays garlic, hazelnuts, cheeses, foie gras, and melons. Medieval buildings frame the 14th-century market hall. Several restaurants operate year-round.

Saint-Clar, 15km south, defines itself through white garlic—the local variety peaks July through autumn. Thursday morning markets concentrate on this single crop, while a dedicated garlic museum sits just outside the village, stocked with other Gascony producers. August hosts a garlic festival. The fortified village sits at the heart of agricultural Gascony.

Two villages officially classified as “Plus Beaux Villages de France” lie within reach. Sarrant (18km) presents cobbled lanes and half-timbered architecture untouched by modern intervention. Auvillar (27km north) perches above the Garonne River, offering commanding countryside views and genuine medieval character. Fleurance (27km) and Lectoure (30km) maintain traditional weekly markets—Lectoure especially draws historians with its classical heritage.

Larger towns warrant day trips. Montauban (44km) combines Renaissance architecture with serious gastronomy. Auch (51km) anchors the Gers département with cathedral magnificence and weekly markets. Agen (60km) merges historical significance with culinary reputation. Toulouse (63km), “La Ville Rose,” rewards exploration of medieval quarters, world-class museums, and restaurant culture.

The landscape itself functions as primary activity. Cycling and walking routes web across rolling terrain dotted with summer sunflowers. Horse-riding paths navigate through woodland and farmland. Fishing and gentle lakeside walks cluster around Beaumont-de-Lomagne. When summer heat peaks, the lake hosts water-based activities.

Who This Villa Suits Best

Multi-generational family groups thrive here. Seven bedrooms and 16-guest capacity mean teenagers, grandparents, and young children occupy separate sleeping zones while gathering in shared spaces—the kitchen island becomes command central, the pool area absorbs energy without disturbing others. The south-wing mezzanine bedroom specifically accommodates adolescents.

Professional groups renting for working retreats appreciate the library desk and strong Wi-Fi. The kitchen supports catering arrangements or personal chef engagement. On-site yoga instruction can be arranged; massage therapists visit; babysitting is available.

Couples seeking countryside immersion value the wooded pathways, silence, and absence of tourist infrastructure. The location demands intentional exploration rather than passive consumption.

Friend groups using the villa as reunion base benefit from economies of scale—sixteen people dividing accommodation costs makes a 19th-century château financially sensible rather than impossibly luxurious. The croquet set, board games, and varied bedroom configurations prevent accommodation conflicts.
