Our Opinion
Quality Rating : Family
This Chateau is a lovely home and ideally placed to enjoy this area of the Dordogne and Gironde if you can drag yourself away from the stunning views and idyllic pool. The poolside summer kitchen area is blissful spot and provides shade for outdoor dining. The dining terrace by the house is the ideal spot for many a lazy evening watching the view and the sunset over the ruined chateau in the distance!!View Availability & Booking
