Remember the magic of making 'summer friends'?

With 14 acres of private meadows and a massive play barn, Château de Gurat is where 'summer gangs' are born. While the kids are busy exploring, feeding the goats, or jumping on the trampoline, you can actually finish that book you started six months ago.

Safety, freedom, and fresh air—it’s the back-to-basics childhood we all want for our kids.

Give them the freedom they crave. Take a tour of our 14-acre private estate and see why kids (and parents!) love it here: https://www.chateau-gurat.com/things-to-do/

Pool days are great, but have you ever spent an afternoon at a French river beach?

Just a short drive from the Château, you'll find the stunning Aubeterre-sur-Dronne—officially one of the 'Most Beautiful Villages in France.' With shallow waters, sandy shores, and riverside cafés, it’s a toddler’s paradise (and a parent's dream!).

We’ve mapped out all the best local spots in our Family Guides so you can explore the Charente like a local.

Want our secret map of local spots? We’ve put together a guide of the best toddler-friendly beaches in the Charente and Dordogne. Read it here: https://www.chateau-gurat.com/best-lake-and-river-beaches-within-45-minutes-of-chateau-de-gurat/

The Golden Rule of Family Holidays: If the kids are happy, the parents can relax.

One of the things our guests love most is our 'Monitor-Range' social life. Because our gites are nestled close to the terrace, you can enjoy our weekly Pizza Night or a wine tasting session while the little ones sleep soundly just a stone’s throw away.

Real socialising. Real wine. Real relaxation

No holiday at Château de Gurat is complete without a visit to a local market. With one happening most days, you’ll always find one nearby to explore and stock up on fresh goods.
