The building and the grounds were beautiful. The decor was for us very old fashioned. A matter of opinion I’m sure and probably very French but the old pictures and stuffed animals were slightly too much. Having said that the restaurant was lovely as was the breakfast. We arrived very late and a very kind gentleman, stayed on to check us in. I’m sure in the summer months when the sun is shining and the pool is open it would be even more beautiful.

Great hotel and wonderful views

Beautiful hotel in an out of the way setting. Superb vistas from the gardens. The hub of the hotel is the restaurant where the staff seem to focus. Trying to get a drink whilst sitting in the garden is a but hit and miss. Very disappointing that the hotel does not appear to keep in reserve a few restaurant tables for guests. We had to eat out.

The property is extremely private and very well kept. The reason I have marked it down is the lack of signage to direct you there. My Lexus satellite did not recognize the road and it took 5 calls and 40 minutes to get to the property. The setting of thevretaurantvwascexquisite and the food although expensive is certainly gastronomique but short of 1 Star Michelin status. It is no more than 5 km from Bergerac airport so if it is a very quiet , private and tranquil, this may we’ll be perfect for you..

This property far exceeded our expectations. It is absolutely beautiful, inside and out. Our room was lovely and serene; the air conditioning was a welcome amenity as we arrived during an intense heat wave. The pool was wonderful, with amazing views of the valley. The grounds and gardens are exquisite. The restaurant, where we had a delicious fresh breakfast, offers patio seating with sweeping views. The staff were friendly and helpful. Everything about this place was first rate.

Tranquility

We chose this hotel as it was close to the airport on the day before our flight home. We had a very nice reception and had a tour of the hotel and shown tour our very spacious and comfortable room. We spent a couple of hours lazing by the pool before going for dinner. The food was wonderful and we were glad to try new dishes prepared by the excellent chef. My only disappointment was that we did not arrive earlier to enjoy the incredible views by the poolside.

No stone left unturned-a stay to remember always

Beautiful setting, impeccably designed room and bath with no comfort detail lacking. Bucolic scene from the swimming pool adds to the overall relaxing atmosphere as one’s access to the owners’ library. Food was delicious. I can not recommend more highly.
