La Tour, Chateau de Charras

We had a thoroughly pleasant stay at La Tour, managing to balance entertaining our three boys with the peace and tranquility of the surrounding French landscape. The accommodation was great and all were very welcoming. I will never grow tired of French patisserie and wine! Time to go on a diet.

What a magical place! We stayed for a week as a family of four plus our dog. The tower has the great blend of feeling a bit remote in the French countryside while being close to people with a little bar, bread shop and grocery store all steps away. It has the magic of staying in a castle with the amenities of a nice kitchen and a pool! I hadn’t been to this area of France before and am now wanting to come back to enjoy the night markets, landscape and laidback, friendly atmosphere again!

La Tour is a fantastic place to stay. Beautiful, relaxing, peaceful and set in lovely grounds. It's exceptionally well equipped - they have thought of everything! Some holiday lets have a veneer of polish and quality, one that turns out to be only skin deep, but this is a genuinely comfortable place to stay. Great beds and high-end linens stood out. Loads to do on site - a heated pool, table tennis, croquet, and tennis courts too. We lounged a lot on the terrace - lazy lunches and a snooze in the shade on the outdoor sofa. Fab bakery a few mins walk away too. Perfect.

We really loved the tower. It was grand and homely, an unusual combination, and, despite the gloomy weather, was very comfortable. The grounds were a delight, and the area around was also very beautiful (we loved Brantôme). Best of all, the owners are so friendly and helpful, they are a real delight to deal with.

Great spot in Charras. We had a great time. The tower and surround grounds are fantastic. The place was spotlessly clean and very well equipped. The hosts were very friendly and helpful with recommendations for things to do in the area.

We stayed at the breathtaking La Tour for nearly 2 weeks. The property and the surroundings are truly stunning and like something from a fairytale. La Tour is well equipped with all your essentials too. There are many things to do in the area if you are willing to drive a little. Locally you have everything you need for the day to day. We had a fabulous time. Thank you!

Very tastefully furnished medieval tower in a beautiful setting: in the middle of an old chateau, overlooking the plane and hills, with a gorgeous morning sun and shadow from the summer heat in the afternoon. Indeed, it is equipped with everything you need for a perfect french holiday - and the bakery with fresh croissant is just a 100 m away (and a pub just in front!). The beds are very comfortable and we slept wonderfully! Beautiful is to sit on the terasse in the night and watch the stars and the moon rising over the peacefully ligtended landscape!

The tower is an memorable place to stay- with views far out across the pretty countryside, incredible sunrises and sunsets, historic gardens with lots of terraces and beautiful stone staircases to explore and a beautiful pool. The rooms are big considering its a medieval tower. We had a lovely holiday there!

We had the best stay at La Tour! The house was stunning and had everything we needed for a family holiday. The kitchen was well equipped and there were tons to keep the kids entertained. The setting is beautiful, and the chateau grounds are really safe so the kids could have some free time running around which meant we could enjoy quiet g&ts on the terrace. Sarah and the welcome team were lovely throughout the booking and check in and out process, we couldn't have asked for more! We'd love to come back again soon! Thank you xx

Everyone needs to spend a holiday in a tower at some stage of their lives to wake in the morning and gaze out the window at the dominion stretching out and imagining what the view looked like 500 years ago. The interiors are tasteful, the grounds are listed, there's a giant pool and tennis court to keep everyone entertained for days and its in the middle of a protected area. Utter bliss!
