Domaine du Château de Garrevaques

For more than twenty-five years Marie-Christine and Claude Combes have welcomed guests as friends to their family home, the Château de Garrevaques—long recommended in our guide to French Bed & Breakfasts. One of our favorite properties because the welcome is so genuine, the accommodation regal and the history of their home that has passed down for seventeen generations is so incredible, we are now pleased to share that they have renovated the neighboring stables (referred to as the Pavillon) to offer an additional fifteen luxurious bedrooms with modern appointments and lavish bathrooms. These accommodations are truly more hotel rooms and so it is appropriate to include and recommend this property for this hotel guide! Together the Château and the Pavillon are referred to as the Domaine du Château de Garrevaques and are set in a park of five hectares. Also incorporated into what were once the stables that serviced the château (the Pavillon) is a wonderful spa and two restaurants. For dining, Le Grenier du Pastel spills over onto the garden terrace and offers a lighter fare and more casual service, while La Cave, as the name implies is embraced by the stone walls of the cellar and offers a menu of fine, regional cuisine. Tennis courts, a large pool set out in the open fields and the full service spa give guests every excuse to linger, although the location is also ideal for visiting Toulouse, Albi and the walled city of Carcassonne.
