Chateau du Puits Es Pratx was built in the Napoleonic 3rd style of architecture around 1840 and became the largest private wine Domaine in Ginestas, in the Minervois region of the Aude, producing wine, right up until the early 1990’s. We have tried to preserve its unique character and atmosphere for guests to enjoy and at the same time create a 'home from home' environment that is warm, friendly, and above all, relaxed and informal. We provide a more ‘hotel-style’ service for guests staying in the Chateau rooms than do many Chambres D’Hôtes and all our Self-Catering accommodation is equipped to far higher standards than most French gîtes. So if you are looking for something new & refreshing without having to travel too far, then why not give our holidays a go!
