Your own Petit Chateau near Sarlat, private pool and tower with battlements!

Beautiful property and gardens, such wonderful views from many different places including a tower!

We are a family of 5 with adult children with partners and we stayed for over a week in late June. The property is charming, full of character and comfortably accommodated our group of 8 adults. It has plenty of outside areas to relax, by the frog pond, opposite the pool and on the top terrace with fantastic views across the countryside. We stayed during a very hot June and the house stayed comfortably cool and the pool was very welcome. There’s also a free local tennis court behind the property which we also used in the evenings. The hosts were easy to contact, prompt and helpful when we had questions. The house is well located on the edge of a small village about 10 drive from Sarlat, a small medieval town with bars, restaurants and market and also not far from Beynac with its imposing castle and quaint village which surrounds it on the banks of the Dordogne river. We’d recommend hiring some kayaks and doing a trip down the Dordogne from Beynac, taking a picnic and river swimming. There’s also plenty of caves locally which are worth a half day visit. Overall, we would thoroughly recommend staying here, the house and grounds are wonderful, and there’s plenty to do and see, but equally just a lovely place to relax if you just want to unwind.

Beautifully restored house in peaceful and relaxing location

😊: An absolutely fabulous chateau. Had everything anyone could want.. 😢: NOTHING could have been better. It was perfect..

Our group of 6 adults really enjoyed our stay at the castle. Having afternoon drinks on the turret watching the hot air balloons float by was magical..Close to bolangerie & grocery.

Charles and Anne are excellent hosts, answering all of our queries in a helpful and timely manner. The property is beautiful with fantastic views, often with added hot air balloons. Lots of places to sit outside in any weather. It is also very well located in a picturesque village which is a short drive from La Roque Gageac, Sarlat, etc. The bakery and pizza place in the village are not to be missed!There is a wide variety of birds and butterflies in the pretty gardens and immediate surroundings plus some lovely frogs in the fish pond.Guests should be aware that there is no “welcome pack” of essentials like bread, milk, etc. as is common in UK holiday rentals. There is an excellent E.Leclerc supermarket nearby but be aware of opening/closing times. A torch is helpful if arriving after dark to help you get in.

We have had a lovely week with our family here. We all had a lot of fun in the pool, made good use of the bbq and different dining areas outside, enjoying the amazing views. The property has a lovely quirky French atmosphere and is well equipped. We canoed on the Dordogne and enjoyed re-discovering an area we visited several times many years ago. Three generations made the most of a too-short week.

Apart from not being able to open the front door on arrival, the home was fabulous.Little things.. more glasses needed! But great

This was a magnificent experience. The chateau is surrounded by beautiful gardens and nature. The sounds, smells, and views are spectacular. It has a convenient location yet feels very private. The bedrooms are comfortable and the bathrooms are numerous, clean, and pleasant. There are many places to sit and relax including the excellent rooftop deck. The stairs to the three second floor bedrooms are a bit steep but with good railings. There are many choices of dining areas, indoor, outdoor, sunny, shady. The pool is lovely but there is no hot tub. There are many pleasant short walks around the house. The nighttime sounds are wonderful. The flowers, gardens, and art work are interesting and a joy to behold! We highly recommend this petit chateau.

The house is well equipped and spacious with lots of room to spread out and come together. We used the location to explore the region and had easy access to Sarlat, Beynac, Castelnaud, Domme etc. Highlight was a kayak trip on the Dordogne river past castles and beautiful villages. Also a day in Montignac to see Lascaux. We enjoyed the well marked hiking trials that left right from the house. There are too many beautiful places in the area to name and you could go to a market everyday if you want. After a day sightseeing we would sit out on the tower to enjoy apero and the sunset, then cook a meal. Bedrooms were spacious and everyone had an en suite bath. The front door initially gave us problems but we figured it out with some fidgeting. Weather didn’t permit us to take advantage of the pool. Next time!
