Many To Do At Real Tapalpa

The main focal point at the chateau is the photogenic infinity pool that stretches horizontally along the front of the building. It’s a stunning pool, with a shallow area that’s ideal for kids. There are plenty of sun loungers and squishy double beds to laze around on our website too. In terms of other amenities, there’s plenty to keep you and your family occupied. There’s a clay tennis court below the terrace, a boules court, pretty gardens to explore and bicycles, which are complimentary for guests. A unique addition is the mini farm a few minutes’ walk from the chateau. What a dream this is for kids! You can wander up there and feed the goats, watch the donkeys and ponies, and coo over the adorable little ducks! Cooper loved seeing the animals. It was the first time he’d seen many of them before and I loved seeing his face light up as the fluffy creatures sidled up to him. We feasted on dishes including trout gravlax and tuna tataki. Each plate arrived as a little work of art! There were some fun additions too, including a little tartar amuse bouche. We weren’t around for it, but the chateau also hosts some themed evenings throughout the week including a tapas night and a BBQ. For those who want to enjoy the relaxation of dining in their accommodation, there are a few options to choose from. You could order a charcuterie platter, a BBQ pack or a few pizzas. Staff will deliver these to your accommodation, so you don’t have to lift a finger! You’re on holiday after all! We decided to do this on night one after a long day of travelling. We arrived at our accommodation and enjoyed a plentiful platter of local meats, cheeses, chutneys, pickles and bread… all washed down with a delicious bottle of Les Carrasses wine. I mean, what better way to start our holiday in France?! It’s not the kind of place you’ll be running down at the crack of dawn to bag yourself a lounger for the day! We found the pool area was very quiet during our visit, which we assume is because so many of the villas have their own private pools. Les Carrasses is a car-free estate. While you can drop off luggage by the main entrance, after that your belongings will be transferred by golf buggy to your accommodation. This was a nice touch, as while a car would fit along the gravel track to our room, it would have disturbed the peace and quiet, and made the property less safe for children.
