God damm this place is hard to find! But what a reward when you get there. Beautiful views on the…read morePyrenees, great landlords always ready to help or chill, and most of all, great wines. I rented their guest house for a week last summer and very much enjoyed all of it's benefits. Plus it's close to the Medditeranean sea, to some historical castles of the Middle Ages and lots of moutain sports activities like canoe, rafting, hiking, rock climbing.

A large black bus was discharging passengers in front of the chateau and we were allowed to park and upon exiting our vehicle were met by two "supposed" winery employees who were very apologetic and told us the winery was closed for private party. We promptly returned to our car and were programming our GPS for our next destination when an older gentleman approached our car and wanted to know how we got into the winery and what we were doing there.

We were made to feel like an imposition instead of potential clients all because the management didn't take the time to post a simple sign or let their security know what was happening.....boo!
