General & History
Even those that have traveled the world are jaded with superlatives used to attract guests, the Chateau de Linde needs none. It is outstanding.
The chateau has 6 bedrooms, and can sleep up to 12 in superb luxury. The chateau has a private pool and a terrace that overhangs the Dordogne river. The setting of this magnificent chateau is impossible to beat.
The chateau is situated on the Dordogne River, the perfect place for total relaxation in a dazzling and dramatic setting. The Chateau de Linde is the only chateau that actually ‘stands with its feet’ in the Dordogne river and the owner Wilna has created an ambience to match this unique feature – a sense of comfort, style and understated magnificence that is inviting and intimate – this luxury holiday chateau destination is simply perfect.
The Chateau de Linde is a beautiful and luxurious private home, a chateau you can make ‘yours’ for the dream home holiday stay in a unique location.
One guest recently exclaimed "I think I have died and gone to heaven!"
The Chateau de Linde dates back to 1269 as the residency of the Senechal of the bastide, with a prison below. In the living room and down in the extensive cellars, the original natural stone walls can still be seen. Looking from the other side of the Dordogne across to the chateau, standing with its feet in the water, the turrets and spiral stairs tower gives the impression of a castle stepping straight out of a fairy tale. This must have been the most beautiful regional administration building!
In the late 18th century it was enlarged to its present size and in the 1900's it became a private home. Then from 1973 to 2005, the chateau was a family run hotel and highly acclaimed restaurant. The six bedrooms are all named after the bastide towns in the area. There is a staircase carved underneath the chateau down to the river, where natural spring water flows into the river.
The owner Wilna lives on site to provide breakfast each day and to make sure that you're well looked after.
