The Experience

Follow a long track through the trees and this grand house emerges like something from a dream — restored after decades of slumber, it certainly hasn’t lost any of its soul. Inside, the bones are strong: a sweeping spiral staircase under soaring ceilings and a brass chandelier casting its glow over the huge dining table. Upstairs, six spacious double bedrooms are spread across two floors, each has a king-size bed dressed in soft Bonsoirs linens, an en suite bathroom and eco-friendly soaps.

Downstairs there’s space for everyone to sprawl: a bright, sunlit salon, and a cinema room with projector, streaming apps and video games. But when the sun shines you’ll want to be outside on the large terrace with its glorious pool, framed by views of old oaks.

There’s a serious barbecue for the al fresco cook, while inside, the kitchen has everything you need — Lacanche range cooker, large fridge-freezer and everything from a Nespresso machine to a Nutribullet.

Reviews

A very welcoming house with all the ingredients for a relaxing holiday away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. A gorgeous pool, comfortable beds a well-equipped kitchen, all tucked away in the woods with the delights of the Dordogne valley and Bergerac town just waiting to be discovered.

Rachel, UK

We had a wonderful family stay in the woods. The château is absolutely pristine, the kitchen appliances, utensils and facilities were all top quality, and it really felt like every detail had been thoughtfully considered. We felt incredibly well cared for by the host, who was attentive and welcoming without being intrusive. We had a thoroughly peaceful week, enjoying beautiful walks through the woods to the local village and down to the river. A truly special place to stay - peaceful, beautifully maintained and with everything you could possibly need. We would absolutely love to return!


Sarah, New Zealand

Stunning Château meticulously refurbished by designer Guy & the gorgeous Ariarne in the middle of a forest. Peaceful, relaxed, understated luxury. Heavenly swimming pool & sunbeds to relax on, forest for walks & to explore and incredible food (obviously!) in the nearby markets Loved the 'walkable restaurant' to the a neighbouring Château. You can be assured of comfy beds, crisp sheets, fluffy towels…what's not to like!


Robert

A fantastic oasis of calm, set amongst an ancient woodland. The hosts were fantastic and responsive. The decor of the house was incredibly well done, both modern and respectful of the period of the property. The kids loved the pool, which was reassuring deep for their jumping and games, with areas to sit within it. The village a short walk down the road, has a fantastic pizza restaurant and takeaway, the butchers is also worth a visit! Definitely will return and explore the surroundings further!


Martin, Australia

What an incredible experience to stay in such a beautifully restored and charming chateau! We spent time relaxing on the stunning pool terrace and walking the trails in the peaceful forest surrounds (great for birders too! Golden Oriole, Black Woodpecker, European Nightjar, Tawny Owl all seen close to the house). We loved exploring the surrounds, 'Apéros' on the terrace with gourmet finds from local markets, and such comfortable big beds, we slept so well every night. The owners are such a lovely, genuine couple and made sure we had a wonderful relaxing holiday... you will be in safe hands!


Location

The neighbourhood

A 35 minutes walk through the woods takes you to the best local restaurant. Mouleydier village boulangerie (five-min drive) will deliver bread and croissants with 24 hours notice. Bergerac (15 mins) has supermarkets, restaurants and a fascinating historic centre. Canoe the Dordogne river, visit vineyards, explore the châteaux and prehistoric caves of the region - or hire bikes and ride the trails.

Local points of interest from Ariarne Pratt

  • Circular walks through our 120 acres forest - walk through the forest and the vines to the neighbouring estate Château Les Merles famous kitchen (about 35 mins there, 50 mins home again after lunch!).
  • Visit the many bastide towns and markets. Our favourite is Issigeac on a Sunday (18 mins).
  • There are purported to be 1,001 châteaux in the Dordogne: Château de Biron (45 mins), Château des Milandes (1h), Castelnaud (1h).
  • There are two rivers you can canoe down, the Dordogne and the Vézère. The rivers meet in Limeuil (35 mins). Some of the best castle views are from a canoe on the Dordogne River.
  • The Jardins de Marquessac - over 6km of pathways surrounded by over 150,000 hand-pruned boxwoods, with viewpoints over the Dordogne valley and châteaux.
  • The most famous prehistoric cave - Lascaux IV (1h10) is the only full and exact replica of the original cave in a contemporary museum.
