Château prestige XVIIIème 30 hectares Périgord Dordogne Bergerac

Great house with a fabulous swimming pool. The owner is extremely helpful and keen to make sure you have a lovely holiday. Only 20 minutes from the airport. Excellent local markets and a supermarket only 10 minutes away. Large grounds and garden.

What an incredible property! 14 of us spanning 4 generations had the most magical week at La Roque. Even with such a big family we were lost in the lovely big rooms. The chateau itself is simply stunning, and the grounds are amazing. We didn't even get to explore some of the gardens! Francoise (the owner) could not have been more accommodating, always on email to suggest outings or local points of interest. I only hope we get to one day all return.

This is beautiful property that is well maintained by its owner, Françoise, whose kindness and attention to detail were very appreciated. This property is very calm, with no nuisance. The grounds are well kept and Françoise employs a handyman/gardener who is always available should renters need anything. The value is very good for the level of service.

From the moment you enter the iron gates of this 300 year old "lady" you will be charmed by her beauty and spoiled by your hosts, Francoise and Denis.

When our GPS had us turn down a dirt road just before arriving, we grew weary of what we might find for our party of 13 ranging in age from 9 to 75 years. Not to worry!

A one week stay, just wasn't enough. There is much to do here and if you please, you can easily spend day or two do nothing.

The home was lovely and spacious, offering plenty of room for the 13 of us to co-habitat very peacefully, never feeling crowded. While there was not air conditioning, the thick stone walls kept us cool even when the temperatures soared in July.

The children and adults enjoyed the large pool with many lounge chairs. The outdoor covered table made a great place to play cards or take an afternoon snack. The kitchen and dining room were both big enough to seat the 13 of us together to enjoy our meals.

The yard is a great place for the kids to run, roam and play volley ball. Plenty of room for the adults to play petanque as well.

Francoise and Denis, the owners, were very helpful in making suggestions as to where to dine, visit or local activities. Jean Marie, the house manager, will delivery fresh pastries to the house each morning for a small fee and is close by to help if you should need anything.

We enjoyed two nights of delicious meals prepared by a local cook for a very reasonable price. Arranged through Francoise.

So much to do all within driving distance of under 1 hour. Wine tasting, canoeing on the Dordogne, daily markets, horseback riding, etc.

We will certainly return and would highly recommend this home to anyone looking for an unforgettable family vacation!
