Welcome to Chateau de Sariac
The Château de Sariac is a former monastery dating back to the 14th century. Located in the north of the beautiful Hautes Pyrenees, the buildings are built in an 8000 m2 park, with a private fenced garden and swimming pool with terrace.
​
The Manoir gite has been sympathetically restored and can accomodate up to 11 people in 5/6 bedrooms, perfect for groups or families who want their own space.
​
It is just a 3 minute walk into the village, or a 5 minute drive to the nearest town with restaurants and supermarket, so peace and quiet is guaranteed.
About us
-
Ali and Howard have lived here since 2020 with their two very happy lurchers, Ripley and Jones.
-
Howard prides himself on learning traditional techniques and using traditional materials to make sure anything we do is in keeping with the original buildings.
-
The Chateau is a collection of buildings (some dating back to the 14th Century) that were left after the original monastery was destroyed by fire. We still have the great chapel, former guard houses and watch tower - some of which will become unusual gites in the future.
-
As well as our home, this is a huge labour of love and we anticipate the complete renovation will take several more years. It is our dream to save this historic property and allow others to enjoy this very special place.
The Gites
-
Our first gite is called the Manoir and is the main house of the property. With 6 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms over 2 floors, and boasts a full-length balcony with views of the Pyrenees, as well as a private swimming pool and terrace.
-
We have recently opened our second Gite, the Gatehouse, after extensive and loving restoration. With its sumptuous master suite and cosy living space, it is ideal for a romantic retreat for 2!
-
Coming next year, we will open our 3rd gite - a 4 bedroom and 4 bathroom restoration of the old guard tower and guard room. Steeped in history, this gite will be packed full of original features and will cater for up to 8 people in a unique setting.

“We had a wonderful stay at the Chateau. Alison and Howard have done a fantastic job in renovating the Manoir - beautiful furnishings, comfortable bedding, an amazing garden, pool and terrace with great views! You have everything you need to feel at home.
The gite is not far from the beautiful Haute Pyrenees National park which is a great place to go hiking and exploring in Summer"

“The Perfect Place to Relax and Unwind. A real find in a truly gorgeous area, where I was able to unwind in the peaceful and beautiful property and it's grounds before heading out to explore the broader region. Dramatic views of the Pyrenees which are about an hour's drive away. Highly recommended."
