Chateau Joncaises France

Chateau Joncaises is a 10 bedroom chateau set in 50 acres of private grounds nestling on a hillside in the Midi Pyrenees with stunning views overlooking the Lot Valley. Absolute privacy and peace and quiet can be found here.
It is only a 3 minute drive to the charming French village of Sauzet (15 minutes drive to the larger town of Luzech).
The huge solar heated pool, dome covered Jacuzzi and tranquil fountains provide the perfect daytime retreat. At night the pool is lit and provides a lovely backdrop to supper on the terrace.
The Chateau has a separate extensive indoor sports building which includes a court marked out for badminton/soft tennis/basketball, a pool table, table top football, two table tennis tables, a darts area and a full keep fit area stocked with cycles, walking and rowing machines.
Outside there is a 5-a-side football pitch and a target golf course with six flags. Distances range from 100 to 170 metres which make it ideal for the serious golfer to hone his short game but also great fun for all members of the family.
A range of mountain bicycles are also at hand to explore the surrounding countryside. These facilities ensure that the chateau is a holiday destination for adults and children alike.
The property is suitable all year-round and is a great choice during Christmas and New Years.
