Rooms and prices

Rooms, datesand what it costs.

Every room is in the château itself. The price depends on whether you have a room to yourself or are sharing with someone you have brought.

A row of tall arched windows and stone columns in a bedroom, opening onto the grounds.

In plain terms

Madame Retreats is a women only retreat in a château in Gascony, south west France, near the village of Condom in the Gers.

Fifteen women, seven nights, all meals cooked by Lindsay, our private chef on site, a spa and forty hectares of grounds.

The five 2027 retreats, the Pilates week included, are €2,250 per person when you share a twin room with a friend, or €2,750 for sole occupancy.

A €500 booking fee secures the place and the balance is due ten weeks before the retreat.

The rooms

Three waysto take a room.

Fourteen of the bedrooms are the Mademoiselle rooms, spacious and lovely. The other three are the upgrade suites.

A twin room with two beds, a beamed ceiling and a wooden staircase up to a mezzanine.

01

Twin

Two women, one room

The twin price is for two women who are coming together, so you would bring your own friend. Jo does not run a room matching service and will not put two strangers in a room for a week, so if you are coming on your own the sole occupancy room is yours.

A bedroom with gold curtains, a tall arched leaded window and a wooden staircase.

02

Sole occupancy

The room is yours

Your own room for the week, which is how most women come. Most of Jo's guests travel alone and it is the normal way to do this rather than the exception.

★★★★★

A truly exceptional place and experience. So hard to choose just a few elements to highlight: the pools are both beautiful spaces, as is the inner courtyard. The rooms are spacious, comfortable havens... The place, along with the peace and quiet it offers, is solace in itself... Thank you so much!

This was my first retreat and oh did I love it. Jo is absolutely amazing, her programme is spot on and she does everything in her power to make sure that you have a fabulous week. The venue is absolutely stunning, my room was amazing... I met some lovely ladies which became good friends by the end of the week. I definitely will come back on one of Jo's other retreat-weeks.
