I stumbled upon this extraordinary place and decided to commit to a 3-night stay. Now I wish we'd had longer... The Knights Templar Castle was built around 1212 AD. Its life in the modern era began in 1946 when a young artist saw the ruin, being used as a barn, and decided to buy it and make its restoration one of his two life's works. Restoration included electricity, plumbing, roof, reconstructing the battlements, and much more. He also did a tremendous amount of art-related work, resurfacing the guest room walls and painting them convincingly to resemble real marble (literally thousands of sq ft), decorative painting and purchasing suitable style furniture. His artworks are everywhere, and are available for sale. There are several gorgeous rooms, including at least one magnificent suite, which we were lucky enough to stay in. The view from the windows was spectacular. Our room was spotless, the bed was very comfortable. It was a "bucket list" experience, and I feel very fortunate to have found the Chateau. Emanuel, the host, speaks good English (and Spanish, too) and he offered a lot of good advice for touring and of course a lot of knowledge about the castle. He is the second generation, and his work continues. A modest breakfast is included, You can get a complementary personal tour of the castle, as well as accompanying paying visitors on a guided tour (in French) at no cost. The informal castle gardens in the back are nice and easily accessible for those who are mobile. The Castle makes up most of Senouillac, along with a small church and a couple of buildings with small businesses and homes. It is a +/- 15 minute drive to Galliac, which has good restaurants, and everything else. There are also several lovely French villages within 15-60 minutes' drive that provide ample opportunity for exploration. Among our favorites were Najac and Puycelci (small) and Albi (a large, historic town). Toulouse is an easy drive.

Domaine du Buc was the HIGHLIGHT of our holiday. It is a GLORIOUS chateau that is impeccably run by the hostess Brigitte. She is beyond lovely and helpful and the home and surroundings are breathtaking. Delicious breakfasts in the back garden, an intriguing pigeonniere, a beautiful pool. The beds were so comfortable, the shower was wonderful. They even have a guest kitchen if you want to cook your own meals which we opted to do one night. Our family would rate this a 20 out of 10. I only wish we had stayed longer. It is a perfect spot from which to explore the region.
