Chateau overview

Have a grand wedding or family reunion in this masterfully restored chateau in the Dordogne, where the new meets the (very) old.
Parts of the castle date back as far as the 5th century yet inside you'll find modern fixtures alongside family antiques. Perched on top of a rock overlooking unspoilt French countryside, you'll feel just like royalty. For a taste of the local character, descend to take a long stroll through the gardens to the nearby sleepy village.
Up to 20 guests can reside in this sprawling chateau with ten charming bedrooms. Have a high style dinner party together inside the grand banquet hall, or spread out among the 15 hectare park to dine al fresco or lounge by the pool under the French sunshine. Spectacular architectural details abound like the moat, the turrets, and the 18th Century pigeonnier overlooking the private pool.
This holiday chateau is easily reachable from Bergerac (11 km), the heart of the Dordogne region. There you can shop, dine, or learn about the region's wine-making at the Musee du Vins. Then set off on a tour; dozens of wineries are nestled between Bergerac and your chateau. Pick up many bottles - here you've so much to celebrate!

Location

Chateau La Moinerie is located on the edge of the vineyards of Bergerac, in the valley of Caudeau. This stunning property is partially surrounded by a moat filled with water.
The chateau is situated in 13 hectares of park offering green space, ponds, woods and alleys for long walks. The generous nature of the Dordogne invites you to step out beyond the estate's boundaries and explore the welcoming countryside.
A peaceful little village is less than 300 meters away, ideal for spending a relaxing afternoon exploring. The nearest restaurant is just a short drive away.

There are numerous activities across the region from nearby horse-riding and tennis as well as canoeing along the Dordogne. Golf lovers may want to try the 9-hole course just a 10-minute drive away or head a little further to Chateau des Vigiers, a 27-hole championship course.

The surrounding region is also rich with hospitality, extraordinary food and excellent wine. Wine tasting is available just minutes away.

This is the ideal base from which to explore the marvels of the Perigord/Dordogne region. From the incredible Maison des Vins in historic Bergerac (11km) to charming market towns such as Issigeac (20km) and Monpazier (40km). Idyllic villages are dotted along the Dordogne river, waiting to be discovered, such as Tremolat (28km) and Limeuil (35km).

To the north you can explore the prehistoric caves at Lascaux in Montignac in just over an hour or head to the fine small city of Perigueux (40km) for fine restaurants and beautiful architecture.

Futher west, Saint-Emilion is just over an hour away and Bordeaux (Bordeaux) is a 90-minute drive. In less than two hours you can be at the Atlantic Ocean dining out in a spectacular restaurant overlooking the sea with oysters and crisp white wine.
