Château d'Agel Gite

A delightful Chateau with warm and kind hosts in Martine and Jean-Marie. The accommodation is beautiful, each room being unique and beautifully decorated. We travelled with family including several children. There were a few rooms which had adjoining rooms for the children which was really handy. Our toddlers loved the 'secret passages' and thought that we were staying in a 'Magical Castle' The pool is lovely and heated, the grounds and vineyards are lovely and the wine was not to bad either! There is plenty to entertain everyone with a swimming pool, trampoline, swing, ping pong, tennis courts, pool table, boules, board games, books and much more. Martine kindly put us in touch with a fantastic local caterer who prepared an evening meal for a family celebration and was generally helpful in every way. We also drove to the easily accessible beaches at Bezieres and Narbonne as well as taking a trip to the walled city of Carcassonne. There are several lovely restaurants in the vicinity and again, Martine and Jean-Marie were very helpful in making recommendations and providing information. The Chateau, despite it being grand and impressive, retains a homely feel. It is obviously well loved and cared for. Definitely a fantastic place for a gathering of family or friends.

This place has definitely seen better days! It could do with a refurb and a deep clean - a shame as I got pulled in from the reviews but didn’t check to see how old the reviews before! Won’t make that mistake again

I would warmly recommend the chateau d Agel for everyone who enjoys history, space, and peace! It’s now my 4th time there and I am every time enchanted by the quiet, the charm and serenity I feel in this place. I went with friends and our (many children) and it was a delight to see them roam the Castel, the gardens and enjoy the swimming pool. Had great catering services too !! And in the evening, everyone can enjoy privacy with very good size bedrooms and individual bathrooms/toilets (and a good wifi for work !). Best holidays ever - I m going again next year !

DO NOT BOOK CHATEAU D’AGEL! PLEASE READ….. Covid 2020, and it was illegal to leave the UK, France were also on lockdown and the owner Martine outright refused to return our €3000 deposit for my mothers 80th birthday celebration holiday. Long story short, she made us move our booking to another year which we did not want to do and could not make. She then said she’d return half the deposit if she booked the period in question (2 weeks in August’23). In July this year a friend of mine requested to book this period and she said it was booked (all evidenced on email). Today I asked for our €1500 providing this evidence and she stated on email that it’s not booked!!! This is essentially theft and solicitors are now involved

We booked this house for an elderly parents birthday way back before covid struck and due to the pandemic we could not visit. The owners would not give us our deposit back. Morally very questionable people
