Welcome to Chateau de Gurat, gites in Charente

If you are looking for holiday accommodation in South France then look no further.

Located on the sunny Charente Dordogne border, Chateau de Gurat offers child friendly holiday accommodation for those wanting to experience rural France at its best.


There are six self catering holiday cottages (or gites as they are know as in France) in the grounds of the picturesque chateau, which dates back to the 15th century and stands in 14 acres of meadows and woodland.

The chateau is situated on the edge of the tranquil little village of Gurat (with 10th Century Gallo-Roman church, 2 bars, post office and petrol station).

Situated in the beautiful countryside of the Charente Dordogne region, we offer a year round base for discovering South-West France (assistance available with house hunting).

The village of Gurat lies between Villebois-Lavalette (with magnificent hilltop fortified Chateau) and Aubeterre-sur-Dronne, officially one of "les plus beaux villages de France" - the most beautiful villages of France.
