In the heights of Sarlat la Canéda, Domaine Sarlatelle gazes towards the rooftops of one of France’s most celebrated medieval towns. Built from the golden stone so characteristic of the Périgord Noir, this impressive residence brings families and friends together in generous surroundings, with space for up to 15 guests alongside a range of superb amenities.
Inside, an expansive living space creates a wonderful setting for long lunches, relaxed evenings and convivial gatherings. Seven bedrooms offer flexible sleeping arrangements for couples, children and extended families. Whatever the weather, there is always something to enjoy, from film nights in the cinema lounge to friendly matches on the tennis court with its football goal or basketball hoop.
The indoor wellness facilities make Domaine Sarlatelle particularly appealing throughout the year. Swim in the heated indoor pool, unwind in the Jacuzzi or retreat to the warmth of the hammam after a day exploring the Dordogne. Outside, table tennis and a barbecue add to leisurely summer days spent together at the domaine.
The location offers an enticing balance of privacy and proximity. Sarlat’s historic centre is around 1km downhill, bringing medieval lanes, markets and renowned Périgord gastronomy within walking distance or a short drive. Further afield, discover riverside La Roque Gageac, hilltop Domme and the sculpted gardens of Marqueyssac, while the châteaux and landscapes of the Dordogne Valley provide countless possibilities for memorable days out.
For multi-generational families and groups of friends, Domaine Sarlatelle offers space, entertainment and year round relaxation, all within easy reach of the cultural riches of the Périgord Noir.
Set in the calm residential heights above Sarlat, Domaine Sarlatelle is an inviting base for discovering the treasures of the Périgord Noir. Its privileged setting combines the privacy of a grand country residence with remarkably easy access to one of the Dordogne’s most celebrated medieval towns.
The historic heart of Sarlat (1km downhill) can be reached on foot or within a very short drive, bringing its atmospheric medieval lanes, honey-coloured stone architecture and enticing markets within easy reach. For a different perspective on the surrounding countryside, bicycles can be hired in Sarlat, including beside the start of the local voie verte cycle route.
Beyond town, the landscapes of the Dordogne Valley beckon. Visit the beautiful riverside village of La Roque-Gageac (15km) or hilltop Domme (14km), both wonderfully placed for exploring the river, or discover the magnificent châteaux scattered along the Dordogne’s banks. Les Jardins de Marqueyssac (12km) are another highlight, with six kilometres of paths weaving between sculpted boxwood, viewpoints and romantic gardens high above the valley.
Families can add a little adventure at I Feel Wood (8km), an outdoor treetop park with courses and zip lines for different ages and abilities. Alternatively, the Zoological Reserve Calviac (11km) offers shaded trails through a conservation-focused wildlife park specialising in endangered species.
Domaine Sarlatelle therefore offers an appealing balance: the culture and character of Sarlat close at hand, with the villages, gardens and river landscapes of the Dordogne waiting just beyond.
