General & History

This fantastic Chateau, built in 1840, lies in the central Perigord Vert area of the Dordogne. Recently refurbished with no expense spared, each room has been carefully decorated with traditional colours and wallpaper from Farrow and Ball, and furnished with antiques and works of art. All the bathrooms are also of the highest standard, using brands such as Lefroy Brooks and Sottini and bed linen and towels from Frette.

The Chateau has 12 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms, 5 of which are en-suites. Set in 12 acres of well-tended gardens, the Chateau also comes complete with fruit orchards, a badminton court and swimming pool. Your meals can be enjoyed on the terrace with a view of the picturesque village of Lanouaille before you. Alternatively you can remain indoors and make the most of our sumptuous dining room.

The luxury gite on the estate is also now available to rent. It has 4 bedrooms and sleeps 8 guests. Renovated to the same high standard as the Chateau, we guarantee you exclusive rental of the gite should you decide to extend the size of your party.

The Chateau is steeped in French history. Originally the palatial home of Marashal Bugeaud, Duc d'Isly, the Chateau was built for him in appreciation of his service to France. The Duke fought under Napoleon and was most well-known for plotting the victorious Algerian war of 1836. The numerous statues and landmarks named after him throughout France pay tribute to his contribution to French military history.
