Chateau de Queille - Private Rental

A PRIVATE RENTAL
18th Century Château , Sleeps 20

Château de Queille sits perched dramatically amidst the wooded foothills of the Pyrenees. Overlooking the breathtaking scenery, it is encircled by the river below and much like a fairytale castle.

The property is tranquil and secluded, surrounded by a land famous for its beauty, its Cathar castles and historic legacy. Set in 22 acres of private grounds, Queille is only 45 minutes from Carcassonne airport and an hour and a quarter from Toulouse. An imposing 18th century structure houses a comfortable and homely interior that adds to the romance of the setting. The river lulls you to sleep at night and the sun streams in through large windows in the mornings. Fully furnished with beautiful antiques the house is decorated in a simple and uncluttered manner.

Step outside and the enchantment continues, a dramatic infinity pool sits on the cliff's edge. Perfect for enjoying the sun, there is a pool house with a shaded terrace and seating for sixteen or so and a barbecue and stone pizza oven. Recently completed is a barn which can seat around 100 people, a kitchen, a shower and separate WC. The private chapel is nestled beneath rose covered high walls. The garden falls over 4 terraces of flowers, steps and paths into beautiful surrounding meadows, with the river running through.

Queille is perfect to take for a week or two for your holiday with a group of friends or family, to celebrate a special occasion or birthday, for an artists’, yoga or pilates retreat, or for a group of musicians. Parties of 20 can easily be accommodated. But the place is equally comfortable, spacious and peaceful with just a few couples.
