Comments: We just had a very enjoyable week with a group of friends and family (16 people all together) at Chateau Lamostonie in July. The chateau is very well maintained and fully equipped. The description on VRBO accurately reflects what we found when we arrived. The check-in process (and check out!) was very smoothed and the communication and responsiveness to our questions and needs during our stay were excellent (thank you Frederique!). The pool and the tennis court were in perfect condition. We enjoyed the proximity of the small village of Labastide-Murat (about 10 minutes by car), which offered a good mix of commerce (grocery store, bakery, ATM, cafes, etc...). We took advantage of many points of interest within 30-40 minutes drive: Rocamadour, "Gouffre de Padirac", grotte de Pech-Merle (and its amazing murals), etc... We all sat at a long and convivial table at the back of the chateau for dinner every night. Overall, a fantastic stay that we highly recommend for large groups!

Comments: Dear Joanna, Bill and James,
We depart tomorrow for home but just wanted to say thank you for the little touches that make coming here so special. Charles’s 50th has been one to remember. Black tie dinner in the dining room with the fire lit ! Really wonderful. I was the one with my back to it - marvellous for the warmth in a sleeveless dress!
The house, with fresh flowers for us and the wine you left including champagne were very much appreciated. Frederique has been an absolute star arranging to clear us up in the morning before people got up. I will write to her separately.
The pianos were enjoyed by the 2 pianists and we enjoyed their music.
When you do the deposit - we may owe you for 4 evenings fires worth of wood which we replenished from the wood store. I’m not sure how much 1/3rd of a m2 is!
We also broke a couple of glasses but we bought some to replace.
Everything else all worked splendidly and even though the dishwasher in the kitchen died - because Frederique was here and the first one to realise it was replaced by Laurence before we got back from our Saturday trip.
Many thanks again and I’m sure we will be back!
With very best wishes Suzannah

Comments: A fantastic experience for our extended family.
Cardou and grounds provided a brilliant experience for extended family with 8 adults and 4 children in the group. Great play areas inside and out, with the swimming pool being much loved. Dining room, kitchen, and terrace areas excellent. A week of luxury.

We had a wonderful week at Le Trichot. The Chateau was beautiful, clean and really spacious for our group of 4 families with young children. So much for the children to explore. We loved the tennis and the pool was amazing. It could not have been any better and I would recommend very highly. Thank you xxx

Comments: Chère Joanna,
Nous avons passé un merveilleux séjour en famille au château de Lamostonie, dans ce lieu magique où nous avons gardé de nombreux souvenirs d'enfance.
Tout était parfait dans les moindres détails ! Dès notre arrivée, nous avons été sensibles à toutes ces délicates attentions, les bouquets de fleurs fraiches et les bouteilles de vin.
Frédérique et Laurent sont vraiment adorables, très serviables et discrets.
Le château est tellement confortable, la cuisine est spacieuse et bien équipée pour préparer les repas, les tournois de ping-pong et les veillées autour du feu de cheminée dans la grande salle à manger nous ont fait oublier la pluie !
Encore un grand merci pour ce merveilleux et mémorable séjour !
Bien cordialement,
Catherine Perret
