Château Lavande Carpoulet Midi-Pyrénées is a beautifully restored half-timbered farmhouse set within over six hectares of private grounds, offering a retreat that blends rustic heritage with genuine comfort for up to eight guests.

Inside Château Lavande Carpoulet Midi-Pyrénées

Step through the covered entrance terrace and into a home where two hundred years of character have been carefully preserved. The heart of this farmhouse is the open-plan living and dining area, where exposed timber beams arc overhead and a generous stone fireplace anchors the room. Deep sofas and armchairs are arranged around the hearth, while a large dining table provides an inviting setting for long Gascon suppers. A CD player and a selection of books add to the relaxed, unhurried atmosphere. The kitchen sits adjacent, fitted with an oven, hob, microwave, and fridge-freezer, along with a breakfast table for casual morning meals. A French window in the kitchen opens directly onto a half-covered terrace, allowing the scent of herbs and warm countryside air to drift inside while you prepare a meal.

Upstairs, four bedrooms are arranged to give every guest a sense of privacy and comfort. The rooms feature original timbered walls, soft linens, and views over the surrounding meadows and woodland. Three well-appointed bathrooms serve the property, ensuring convenience even when the house is at full capacity. Throughout, the interiors strike a balance between farmhouse authenticity and modern amenity: WiFi keeps you connected, and a washing machine is available for longer stays. Every corner of this home tells a story, from the grain of the ancient oak frames to the patina of the terracotta floors.

Outdoor Spaces and Living

The grounds of Château Lavande Carpoulet Midi-Pyrénées are nothing short of spectacular. With more than six hectares to explore, guests enjoy an extraordinary degree of freedom and seclusion. The half-covered terrace off the kitchen is a natural gathering spot, ideal for breakfast in the morning sun or a glass of chilled rosé as the evening settles in. A barbecue area is set up for al fresco dining, making the most of the region’s superb local produce. Beyond the terrace, manicured lawns give way to wildflower meadows and mature trees, creating a landscape that feels both cared for and wonderfully untamed.

A private tennis court offers an excellent way to stay active during your holiday, while children will delight in the freedom to roam safely across the estate. Private parking ensures effortless arrival and departure, and the surrounding countryside is laced with walking trails and cycling routes that wind through sunflower fields and ancient villages. This is a property where the outdoors are as much a part of daily life as the interiors, and where every season paints the landscape in new colours.
