Chateau d'Hortes for rent South France - Our Opinion

Last visited: May 2025. If it is your lifetime's dream to stay in a beautiful French Chateau with a sweeping driveway and mature Redwood and Maple trees, then Chateau d'Hortes is the perfect place. The Chateau is ideally located, close to the Mediterranean coast and provides easy access to the local motorway network. The local sites of Pezenas, Carcassonne, the Canal du Midi, Beziers, Narbonne and Montpellier can all be accessed in 50 minutes. An ideal rental for a family get-together.

Due to the location of the swimming pool away from the house, the Chateau is only suitable for groups where all children are able to swim (independently of armbands/floats, etc).
