MAGNIFICENT HISTORIC CASTLE WITH POOL ON HILLTOP WITH STUNNING VIEWS

When I and my husband drove thru the gates of Chateau Peyruzel and entered its grounds, it took my breath away. It was truly my dream of a French country chateau experience come true. Our family and friends that joined us were very happy that we'd found the perfect destination for our multi-generation get-together.

Outside: Originally built as a fortress in the 13th century, its stunning hilltop site is striking both as one approaches from the valley below, and once there, as one gazes out from the manicured grounds to the charming village of Daglan, the hills, and bucolic farmlands, not to mention the exquis ite sunsets. The pool, although recently added, was stunning in that it fits so seamlessly into the extensive grounds and the covered pool house was the best spot to linger at the end of the day with a glass of wine.

Inside; The owners have lovingly restored, appointed, and furnished the interior with exquisite taste and French style. There is no doubt what country you are in, and its beauty. Looking at the photos on the website, as impressive as they are, they do not do justice to the look and feel that one actually experiences20within those walls. In addition, on arrival, everything was pristine and wonderfully clean and perfectly prepared. We were happy to sink into the beautiful beds after our long trip!

The owners prepared us with everything we could possibly have needed before we arrived: maps, directions, what we needed to bring, where we could shop and what was within easy reach. Once in the chateau, there was further information about local sites and very personal directions for everything we were interested in seeing: chateaux, wineries, beautiful gardens. Janice (the owner) also arranged for a meal cooked in the chateau by a local chef (our favorite meal), as well as making reservations for us in other local restaurants. Her local knowledge and personal attention provided us with a completely different experience than if we had been tourists.

I would recommend this “dream come true” Chateau without reservation, and hope to return there myself for another unbelievable escape into paradise. Imagine being inside a medieval castle, but with all the comforts and finest amenities of our 21st century. Magnifique!

It is an ideal, elegant site for family reunions, for an adventure with friends, or perhaps an anniversary or wedding.

It is a place I will never forget.

Staying at the Chateau this summer was a truly magical experience. It was indeed a privilege to spend such a wonderful few weeks in such a magnificent home and such spectacular surroundings. The chateau exceeded all our expectations and we will definitely be back as it was perfect for all our family and friends with their different demands - everyone was thrilled - from those for whom beautiful linen and tasteful decor was essential to those who were looking for lazy days at the pool and those among us who wanted to get out and discover the countryside - the chateau was perfectly positioned and really had it all. I particularly loved the experience of staying in an authentic chateau which was so beautifully appointed that the wow factor seemed to renew itself every day. The views from the windows, the magnificent stone staircase, the luxurious bedrooms and sitting rooms - what a fabulous experience. The owners have managed to strike a rare balance of an exceptionally high standard while allowing you also to feel very much at home - so much so that we never wanted to leave. Endless summer evenings outdoors - dinner en plein air most nights - superbe! Thank you.

The Dordogne is by far my favourite area in Southwest France. The land surrounding the chateau is naturally exquisite with rich farmland and rolling hills. There is lots to do and see in the area. Kayaking down the Dordogne was a highlight, as was eating at the many world class restaurants in the different villages. I spent my summer vacation at the breathtaking chateau in Domme. It is beautifully decorated with fantastic furniture, artwork and stunning curtains. The beds are particularly comfortable all lined with crisp French linen. The large dining room is perfect for entertaining friends and family over dinner. The mornings are best spent eating croissants and drinking coffee overlooking the beautiful medieval garden. The pool house is made of stone and is covered from the warm sun. The afternoons are best spent relaxing on the sun loungers and reading by the large exquisite pool. The chateau is equipped with everything you may possibly need during your stay. In the evening, the pool house provides an excellent viewpoint to watch the sunset whilst enjoying some of the finest wine from the nearby vineyards. The owners provide excellent planning, directions and information needed to fully explore the area. The photographs on the website provide only a snapshot of the property's beauty!
