As we contemplate retirement and maybe our last summer at La Chataigneraie, we are looking for that special someone who would like to be the next owner of La Chataigneraie.
Over the last 14 years we have met so many wonderful people and have rarely been let down by our theory that only lovely, caring people want to take holidays in the mountains! Almost every group has had someone interested in our story and dreaming of doing the same……..
So now is your chance!

Less than an hour from the Mediterranean coast, the airport and the ski resorts of the Pyrénées! Walking distance to the village with bistrot and school and just 3km to the beautiful spa town of Vernet les Bains. With high-speed fibre broadband the world is only a click away!

It can be managed by a couple (as we have) with occasional help for a full-house changeover. There is also huge scope for lucrative expansion if you wished to employ some extra hands. So if you dream of escaping from the rat-race and having an adventure in the sunshine – give us a call!

We have laughed a great deal, reminisced a lot, drank too much and soaked up the beautiful surroundings. For a 22-strong family reunion this is the perfect place. Lots to do for all ages. And, Caroline, you did everything you said you would to ensure we all had a wonderful time – and we did.
