17 of us just spent a wonderful week at Christian’s place. It’s in a spectacular setting with loads of space, comfortable beds and great facilities. Highly recommended.
Lovely and relaxing stay, really well equipped for large groups to get away. Nothing fussy so an ideal choice for a large group with children - plenty of bits to explore and space to run around. Christian was really helpful and quick to respond to any questions, including introduction to chef Alain. Rafting near Foix recommended and a trip to Mirepoix market and the Carcassonne light show.
Our stay was really pleasant and the facilities good. Spacious rooms and a big kitchen with all necessary equipment. The swimming pool is also very good and the outdoor facilities. The check-in was relaxed with the owner at the property and easy to get extra information if needed.
Our large group loved exploring Christian’s château. Our children will forever remember endless hours in the pool and we will remember an amazing place to cook, eat and enjoy time with family and good friends.
Christian was always approachable and ready to assist with any concerns or answer any questions.
Thank you so much for having us!
L'endroit parfait pour les grands groupes d'amis ! / The perfect place for big groups !
Nous sommes arrivés au Chateau en fin d'après-midi, Christian nous a acceuilli chez lui avec toute sa gentillesse et son attention.
Les chambres sont immenses et les parties communes très bien adaptées aux groupes. Le jardin est génial et la grange parfaite pour la musique ! La piscine est immense.
Ces vacances familiales - 24 personnes de 4 à 77 ans - aux Pesquiié ont été excellentes.
A l’abri des grands axes de circulation et des touristes, isolé en pleine nature, dans une fort belle campagne, valonnées, où ondulent les tournesols, le chateau des Pesquiés est charmant, très spacieux et parfaitement équipé.
En outre, son propriétaire, est d’une très grande discrétion, mais disponible et efficace lorsque l’on a besoin de lui.
C’est un homme très sociable, ouvert, chaleureux et sympathique comme son compagnon Odin, un labrador, jamais gênant qui cohabite harmonieusement avec les enfants de tous âges.
Si nous le pouvons, nous reviendrons san doute.
Nous avons apprécié la gentillesse de notre hôte et le château est très spacieux nous n'avons manqué de rien, équipements, vaisselle.. etc.. les pièces sont spacieuses ! La piscine est tres bien aussi ! un éclairage plus fort dans la salle a manger serait neammoins appréciable pour dîner le soir .
Nous avons passé un merveilleux séjour dans ce lieu magique.
Un grand merci à Christian pour son chaleureux accueil.
Le chateau est très bien équipé, nous n'avons manqué de rien.
à noter que la piscine est particulièrement bien sécurisée.
Nous aurons plaisir à revenir à l'occasion et nous recommandons cet endroit.

En sympatisk vært.
Desværre er slottet præget af dårlige løsninger, som fx mangel på flugtveje ift. brand.
Mange ikke gennemtænkte løsninger.
Swimmingpoolen grøn da vi ankom, først på 3 dag nogenlunde algefri. El er gammel (farlig?) og mangelfuld, og flere lamper i vores værelser uden lys.
En dårlig oplevelse - især prisen taget i betragtning
This is a great place ran by a gentleman who cares. It is not the most modern, but more so than the photos suggest and it works! We were a group of 19 and it worked really well. The pool is much bigger than it looks on the photos and deep enough to dive, the grounds are magnificent. The chateau is large a d each room commensurately so. Most of all the host is thoroughly decent, honest, quick to communicate and react. Massively recommend
Propriété conforme à l’annonce.Très agréable pour un séjour en groupe .Grand parc permettant aux enfants de jouer ;château isolé permettant les soirées animées.
Hôte très discret et serviable.
Nous avons passé une très bonne semaine dans cette très belle propriété. Au calme, dans un environnement champêtre, nous avons pu profiter de la grande piscine, des tables extérieures, barbecues. La cuisine est très bien équipée et la taille du manoir permet de ne pas être les uns sur les autres (nous etions 15). La
Venus à 6 familles, 24 dont 11 adultes et 13 enfants avec un bébé, nous avons passé une super semaine aux Pesquiés: château très vaste, de grandes chambres pour tout le monde, très spacieuses, lumineuses, des salles de bain partout... Et surtout, un vrai chateau, avec des petits et grands salons, un escalier majestueux, une vaste cuisine très bien équipée. Nous avons apprécié la piscine (très bien sécurisée), le ping-pong, le barbecue (énorme), le baby-foot, la giga-table en bois extérieure pour les magnifiques couchers de soleil, et aussi la gentillesse de Christian, le propriétaire, présent et discret, toujours prêt à aider et conseiller.
Un super souvenir!
Beautiful property - wonderful holiday. Christian very relaxed and helpful. Great venue for a decent sized group. Recommend Mirepoix for supplies, eating out and market. A little further afield is canyoning in the Pyrenees - superb!

Super séjour entre amis dans ce très beau château
Nous avons passé une excellente semaine dans le château de Christian. Nous étions 22 avec des enfants. La propriété et les aménagements sont tout à fait appropriés pour un grand groupe.
Christian est à la fois très discret et très serviable. Nous reviendrons avec grand plaisir ! Merci pour tout.
