Located at the gateway to the "Golden Triangle" of the Dordogne Valley between Sarlat and Bergerac, Maison Castelnaud welcomes you for an authentic holiday in the heart of nature. You will stay in an independent former tenant's house of more than 300 years old, part of a magnificent estate built in 1730. The hamlet "Perrot en Périgord" is composed of three stone houses of character, totally independent with their equipped terraces and private yards, as well as the main building. The size of the grounds allows all our guests to enjoy their holidays in the middle of a large landscaped park and by our large swimming pool.
Despite its age, Maison Castelnaud has all the comforts of modern life: it has been completely renovated recently and we continue to maintain it regularly to ensure that you have a pleasant holiday.
You will find quality materials and a careful and harmonious decoration in all the rooms. Beautifully restored period furniture is combined with more modern elements to give this beautiful rustic cottage its charm and authenticity.
Maison Castelnaud offers you a high standard holiday in absolute calm and in an exceptional environment: it is surrounded by 40 hectares of fields, forests and small woods. Access to the estate is via a private road 500 metres long; we are therefore far from the "outside world", from other people's cars and even from our closest neighbours. There are many footpaths leading directly from the Domaine. On your walks you will probably come across pheasants, partridges, deer and rabbits.
Our establishment has not one, not two or three, but billions of stars! Without the pollution of the cities, we enjoy an incredible sky. We are sure that you will be as amazed as we are by this spectacle of Mother Nature which appears as soon as the sky is clear. What's more, our sunrises and sunsets are breathtaking!
The town of Lalinde with its supermarket, convenience stores and small local market is only 9 kilometres away. Most of the region's tourist attractions are within a 30 km radius of the Domaine.
Our site is set in 1.5 hectares of parkland with ancient trees, flowers in all seasons and a large swimming pool nestled in the ruins of an old barn. The pool is south facing, fenced and alarmed. The children will find their happiness in the small house filled with toys adjacent to the pool area. The park has many places to relax and leisure activities (deckchairs, hammocks, parasols, table tennis, badminton, petanque,...). Books and board games are available for everyone.
Maison Castelnaud comfortably accommodates up to 6 people.
*** If you are more than 6 people, please check our second advert "Perrot en Périgord": our charming villa Lascaux can accommodate 6 more people. ***
