The Experience

There are vast views over the vineyards, rolling hills and woodland from both the lodge, a former ‘chai’ (winery), and the cottage. Both have calming, simple interiors in wood and stone with natural paints and organic cotton sheets. Rainwater is harvested and solar panels are on the way. Kitchens are very well equipped, showers are neat-as-a-pin and crystal glasses are provided for tasting the delicious organic and biodynamic wines produced on the estate.

It’s a short walk to Saussignac for a community café and a superb restaurant – collect fresh bread and croissants from Le Fournil de Gardonne, 4km. Enjoy a one hour morning yoga class, cycle along the Grande Randonnée, stroll through the woods and vineyards or enrol on a course and let the owners immerse you in the intricate world of growing, creating and understanding their wine production.

Light the barbecue and settle outdoors on comfy deckchairs to admire the stupendous views, sleep soundly in the peace.

Location

The neighbourhood

Walking and cycling will be sublime in this gentle, peaceful countryside. Saussignac is less than 1km away, Gardonne (4km) has the bakery, shops and a few places to eat including a pizzeria, and Sainte-Foy-la-Grande (11km) has a fabulous farmers' market on Saturday mornings – pick up some local food. The bigger town of Bergerac (18km) is bustling with beauty.

Local points of interest from Caro & Seán Feely

  • Breakfast on the balcony taking in stunning views of organic vineyards and dreaming about what you are going to do today. Bird watch and deer-spot as you enjoy some of the best croissants in France available from nearby Gardonne boulangerie.
  • Explore the local area on foot - delight in historic chateaux, charming villages, and exceptional landscapes –depart on a vineyard path directly from Chateau Feely.
  • Read Caro's Grape Expectations, the first book in the Vineyard Series in a hamac under the trees (both houses have a selection of great holiday reads). Then take a delicious dip in the saltwater pool.
  • Explore old town and characterful market in Bergerac 20 minutes away. Discover the wonders of a Unesco recognised Biosphere - The Dordogne River - by booking a kayak in Gardonne just 5 minutes away.
  • Evenings wind down with great wine and wide vineyard views — shoes off, shoulders relaxed. Birds calling across the valley and wine poured just metres from where it was made. Or stroll to Melange restaurant in Saussignac then enjoy a starlit walk home.
  • Develop your aroma brain on the Discovery Wine Tour or stretch your limbs with Yoga in the Vines - both available right here on site at Chateau Feely. We look forward to sharing this magical place with you!

Introducing

Caro & Seán Feely

Enthusiastic and smiley Caro and Seán (originally from South Africa, and with Irish roots) live here with their two cats. They bought the vineyard in 2005 to follow their dream of creating great wines on fine terroir, and Caro, who does the meet and greet, has written five books on their experiences. She's happy to ferry guests to and from the station in Gardonne.
