excellent property and host *****
from the moment we booked this property the owner (Solenne) was extremely helpful, she let me know all information regarding the property that I asked about as well as advising us of local attractions etc before we even arrived, she allowed us to check in early and depart later than arranged.
property was very clean and had everything as advertised, was a great trip with 24 members of our family from 2yrs old through to adults.
would recommend this property to any large groups wanting to get away for a week or two and stay in your own little bubble away from the outside world.
would stay again and can't thank Solenne enough for all her help throughout - 5 stars *****

Great house in a great location
House is located outside a small village, has a great swimming pool and very spacious.
The kitchen has 3 fridges (which you will need) and the outside sitting is just great.
Communication with the house owners was easy via Email or WhatsApp and the owner met us at the property a few times to help us with maps and things to do around the area.
Overall, highly recommended.
Only downside we had is it was VERY hot, and the house does not have an AC. but I believe this is the case with many houses in France, and we did hit a record high week, so I wouldn't be too worried about it.

Fantastic stay at Chateau de Donos
We were a big family group of 25 people, which is max capacity at Chateau de Donos. Solenne was most helpful with the booking process - we had to modify the number of people during the process which worked very well thanks to clear communication from her side. The owner of the Chateau, Alain chardigny, was a great acquaintance - very welcoming, and he told and showed us so many things about the place and the CorbiĂšres area, incl great sightseeing recommendstions. The distribution of the rooms worked well for our big group - enough bathrooms, hot and cold water well functioning. The outdoor dining area with a long table and gas grill next to it worked very well for all our homecooked dinners. This year the owner had added one more fridge which is necessary to store food for big groups. In general the kitchen spacious and well equipped - only needed more wine glasses to match silverware and plates for 25 people. They swimming pool is kept very clean - Robert, the caretaker, cleaned filters every morning. Parking space also worked out great - you can fit 4-5 cars In the garage, plus additional cars In the private drive way. Overall, we were very pleased with our stay, and hope to visit again - merci beaucoup Alain and Solenne!

Wonderful place
We enjoyed a week in July in the estate and was very pleased with the house and surroundings. We were five families with our grown up kids (15-20 years old - 20 person all in all) and had plenty of rooms and space. The host lived in the next door mansion and was kind, accommodating and easy going. Each bedroom had its own bathroom and the kitchen was well equipped - but the fridges (2 pcs) could only hold 1 days of food/cold drinks and the nearest supermarket was a bit away. The pool was kept clean every day. A perfect place for total relaxation.

Ein wunderschönes, sehr gepflegtes Anwesen
Die Bastide geht auf das 8. Jh. zurĂŒck und ist mit viel Geschmack als Ferienwohnung hergerichtet worden.
Im Erdgeschoss liegen hintereinander 4 groĂe RĂ€ume: die gut ausgestattete KĂŒche mit Esstisch fĂŒr 8 Personen, ein Essraum fĂŒr 8 Personen, ein Wohnzimmer mit Fernseher, zwei Sofas und einem Sessel und ein weiterer groĂer Raum.
In den ersten Stock fĂŒhren mehrere Treppen; dort ist ein Teil der Schlafzimmer, die praktisch alle ein eigenes Bad haben, ebenso im Dachgeschoss. Dort oben ist es bei Hitze deutlich wĂ€rmer als im Rest des Hauses.
Mit einem eigenen Eingang gibt es noch eine komplette Wohnung mit kleiner KĂŒche, Bad und drei Zimmern.
Das Haus ist nicht barrierefrei; der Innenhof ist mit Kies belegt, und ĂŒberall gibt es ein bis drei Stufen zwischen den einzelnen Zimmern.
Der Hof geht nach SĂŒden; es gibt zwei SchattenplĂ€tze, einen mit zwei Sofas und zwei Sesseln und einen mit Esstisch und StĂŒhlen direkt vor der KĂŒchentĂŒr; dort können schĂ€tzungsweise 20 Leute sitzen.
In der Ecke liegt auch ein groĂer kĂŒhler Schuppen und am Anfang des Hofes eine Scheune, in der 4 - 5 Autos und etliche FahrrĂ€der Platz finden.
Der groĂe, gepflegte Pool ist kindersicher eingezĂ€unt.
Insgesamt ist es dort paradiesisch ruhig und ganz wunderbar auch fĂŒr Kinder: null Verkehr, LĂ€rm nur, wenn selbst gemacht.
Es gibt auch viel zu unternehmen, allerdings sind die Entfernungen gewöhnungsbedĂŒrftig - 6 km bis zu den frischen Croissants!
Ein Verwalter kĂŒmmert sich aufmerksam um alle kleineren Reparaturen.
Het vakantiehuis bevindt zich in een prachtige omgeving met heerlijke vergezichten. Het huis zelf is heel mooi en idyllisch. Sommige zaken zijn wat verouderd (niet alle badkamers hebben een douche, de inrichting van de kamers is een beetje ouderwets), maar daar hadden wij geen last van en gezien het mooie weer. We hebben we onze vakantie vooral op het binnenplein en aan het zwembad doorgebracht, waar het heerlijk vertoeven is. Ook een dikke pluim voor onze gastheer Alain! Een heerlijke man en een vat vol verhalen over de streek en met heel veel tips over wat te bezoeken in de omgeving. Topvakantie!

Wonderful stay
We had a great time together at Chataeu Donos with its scenic surroundings and historic sites, and can warmly recommend spending time there. We were treated very well and Alain showed a wonderful hospitality and some nice surprises. The rooms were large, spacious and fresh.
