On a cliff overlooking the Dordogne River, you'll find a 14th-century castle on beautiful grounds steeped in charm, character and tradition. On top of that, taking the title as one of Europe’s top ten best luxury villas for 2016 by The Telegraph, the chateau boasts scenic French country views for as far as the eye can see. Whether you're in the private infinity swimming pool, wandering around the 5 hectares of wooded grounds, or tucking into some local culinary delights and French wine on the patio – this spot offers an awe-inspiring setting from which to relax and enjoy good times. If you're looking for a wedding venue or somewhere to hold a special event, look no further, as the picture book setting of the majestic chateau offers an idyllic spot to celebrate with family and friends. With a chapel just a short stroll away in the local village, or space to host a ceremony and reception on-site at the chateau and in the stunning gardens, what more could you ask for? Located near the best of the Dordogne and Lot areas, the town of Souillac is only 8 kilometres away and well worth a visit. Meanwhile, the chateau's owner runs a Michelin-starred restaurant nearby – for when you prefer to dine locally.

About France

You could easily take a lifetime’s worth of French holidays and still feel like you haven’t scratched the nation’s surface. The most visited country in the world, France has long inspired artists, revolutionaries, dreamers, and bons vivants with its storybook landscapes, artistic treasures, and cultural idiosyncrasies. Paris is, of course, the country’s glittering centrepiece but there are countless beauty spots worth discovering outside of the City of Light. Sun yourself...

Host


This home is managed by Oliver

This home is managed directly by a business. A member of their staff will be your point of contact before and during your stay. Nearly twenty years ago, Oliver and his friend began curating the world's most unique and rustic getaways. Driven by their own unforgettable experience at a chateau, they have grown remarkably since then. Much like Plum, they believe in hand-picked luxury that doesn't break the bank.
