Chateau De Longpre

An amazing estate with beautifully manicured gardens and an amazing view of the surrounding countryside. The staff was extremely polite and welcoming and provided some fantastic tips for the surrounding activities and restaurants. The main house in an elegant blend of ancient and modern and we loved the staircase and the dining room. We stayed in a suite on the 2nd floor, one of eight rooms in the main house on the property. Unfortunately, our stay was at the end of their season and the restaurant was closed. The breakfast is a bit limited, so anyone wanting a buffet is better served dining in a nearby Café. Overall, we loved our stay and will definitely return next time we’re in the area.

Châteaux Longpre is a picturesque testament to France’s rich architectural history, offering a beautiful backdrop for any visit. While the culinary experience was a mix of average to slightly above par dishes, the wine selection was exceptional. The attentiveness of the waitresses and staff is commendable; however, the overall ambiance felt rather skewed far on the formal spectrum and lacked a genuine human element. This, unfortunately, led to a few uneasy situations during our stay. As a seasoned traveler, I long for places that offer warmth and authenticity while maintaining a truly exceptional experience. While Châteaux Longpre has its merits, it wouldn’t be my top choice for a return visit.

This is a very nice place, completely renovated interiors, big rooms and excellent staff, very friendly and attentive. Full breakfast and very nice views from the breakfast sunroom . For international visitors, this place does Not take American Express, you can pay with any other card or cash. It seems that there is an event room as well outside the Chateau. Not very far from Pamiers and less than 1.5 h driving from Toulouse.

The Chateau itself as well as the surrounding land is beautiful and upon arrival we were excited to spend 3 nights in what looked like a great place. However, the management, the service, and the atmosphere did not match what the place seems to promote or envsion to represent. First of all, there really is a lack of staff and service. The woman that works the reception also serves breakfast, coffee, brings food to the room, and is the main and only responsible for the whole hotel. Most of the time it is the guest chasing her and looking for her. Another way to proove lack of staff is by the fact that they do not have a 24/7 kitchen and room service except microwaved meals, is this an Ibis or a luxury 4 star chateau? Finally, they promote their wonderful massages and spa before arrival, but once you are there you find out that they only wanted you to make a booking before as there is only one masseuse and they are not flexible at all with the booking of the massage. It is also evident that there is one woman cleaning the rooms. The cleaning service of the room was not at all at a satisfactory level. There were countless flies at all times in the room, which was really not so pleasant. Another thing about the room is that all windows were locked, so no chance to get any air in the room. When it comes to the restaurant, the limited and kind of sad breakfast is served in the same space as the dinner and the dinner is supposed to be gourmet. The couses of the dinner were an enjoyable food experience, but again 2 people taking care of anything and everything, one experienced and the other much less experienced and frankly quite rude. The place is not adapted for smokers, as there are no ashtrays on the premises. There are none at the entrance, and none around the gardens and land surrounding the chateau. The only ashtray available is a small ashtray that we found each day not cleaned from the previous day/ night. We were not the only smokers on the premises during our stay, but all smokers had this one small ashtray to use. On the last night we had a letter in our room that claimed we had smoked in the room and that they have charged us 200 EUR. There was no warning at all, there was no explanation in person, there was no proof shown, but they had already charged the credit card. Judge for yourselves if this is the correct approach. Last, but not least the place lacks privacy and exclusivity as it is too close to the road.
