We spent a wonderful week at La Bourgarde and couldn’t have asked for a better stay. The property was perfect – just a short walk into Castelnaud for morning pastries and close enough to enjoy an afternoon swim. The location made it easy to pack in so many activities, and our whole family loved every moment. Check-in was seamless, and the host was excellent with communication and helpful advice throughout our stay. We will definitely be returning – highly recommended!

Lovely House with Fabulous Views
Lovely house with everything that you need. Position makes it have fabulous views. The pool was great, heated, clean and good sunbeds. Walk to the castle through the bottom of the garden. A couple of restaurants in the village plus a patisserie. Short ride to La Roque-Gageac with lots of restaurants and a little further to Sarlat-la-Canéda which is great. Would recommend this house and hope to return.

Lovely location
My family and I enjoyed our two weeks here. The property was clean, had everything you need and has a great pool and outdoor area. The location and house are both excellent, but you need to be relatively fit and agile as the property has steep stairs and the walk to the village (up and down) are steep. The amount of mosquitoes tarnished our stay, but we were advised that this year was unusual. There was no book recommending things to do which was a shame and having to pay for towels and bedding was excessive given the cost of the rental. It would have been good to have satelite TV (for us foreigners!) and table tennis/boule would have been excellent, as there's plenty of space outdoors. However, overall, the property is great and we had a good time.

Idyllic Stay at Castelnaud
It was absolutely wonderful. Beautiful, well appointed house in a gorgeous location with a great swimming pool. We've been to the Dordogne many times before, all brilliant - but this was the best yet. Thank you so much to Mr Raymond and his family for all your help in organising our stay, we'll definitely be back soon.

Amazing maison in Perigord
This was our second stay at La Bourgarde and again it did not disappoint. Check in was smooth, with Emilie showing us about and sorting out bedding, meter readings and cleaning wishes for check out. It’s a great set up on three floors, with a bedroom and bathroom downstairs, open plan living area on the first floor and 2 bedrooms and shower room upstairs. Aircon was a welcome relief overnight during the canicule, and the wifi was fast. The pool area is well situated and has shaded seating, with a BBQ just along. The area itself is great for castles, caves and other amusements. Well worth it, and we can’t wait to return.

Lovely house in fabulous setting
We had a great holiday at La Bourgarde, a lovely restored property with the benefit of a large garden, heated swimming pool and ample parking, just a short walk up to the castle and restaurants or down to the superb local boulangerie. Fantastic views from the terrace, which is also great for outdoor eating. And a perfect base for visiting the main sites of the Dordogne. We hope to return soon!

Beautiful 'La Bourgarde'
After waiting for almost 2 years to enjoy our holiday with friends in 'La Bourgarde', we were not disappointed. Everything was as hoped for and more.
Communication with the property owner Christian, and daughter Marjory about our delayed holiday due to Covid, was very reassuring & perfect.
The property was just as described, everything we could possibly need was there, and more. The kitchen was very well equipped, the bedrooms spacious & beds comfortable.
We ate outside on the terrace with glorious views across the valley, perfect for watching the hot air balloon flights morning & evening. BBQ meals under the arbour near the fabulous pool, enjoying privacy and peace and quiet.
We enjoyed dining out at the various restaurants in & around this beautiful village, especially 'Le Tournepique'. And my husband exercised daily to get us croissant & baguette from the local boulangerie.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at 'La Bourgarde' and will hopefully return one day.
Many thanks to Emilie also, punctual for check-in & check-out.
Everything could not have gone better for a relaxing & carefree time in France.

Ideal holiday location
This house is in the perfect location. The view of the castle is stunning and we loved seeing the hot air balloons flying over morning and night. The house and pool have everything you need. Canoeing is only a five minute walk away as is a great little patisserie and butchers. We would definitely recommend a stay at La Bourgarde.

Fantastic location, the house, the pool and the ability to walk to the shops, castle and the river was amazing. The bakery and all the delicious cakes and bread right alongside the river. Plenty to do and see in the area. We loved it so much that we will be going back. Extra bonus we all got to speak French, were understood and loved it. Highly recommend it. Xx

We spent a very happy week at this lovely property. The situation is ideal, halfway between the river and the castle, with footpaths from the door to each. Hot air balloons fly over the property daily which is a joy to watch. The property is well equipped with everything we needed for the week. We particularly enjoyed the veranda area with a large table and ate out there every day. The pool was wonderful and well maintained and an selection of sun loungers made it a great place to relax. The owners of the property were very helpful and replied to quickly to any questions we had. It really is a beautiful place to visit.

Perfect Location
So pleased we chose to stay in your villa La Bourgarde. It was perfect for the three of us. The villa was very well equipped. It only lacked a hairdryer. Location was very quiet which suited us. We were a little surprised that we had to pay excess electricity as we did not use heating, dishwasher, oven, coffee machines, television and we're out nearly all day everyday. We did not use the pool at all re the electricity.
We really enjoyed sitting on your terrace taking in the great views.
We would certainly recommend a stay in your villa.

Perfect Perigord
This was our first trip to the Perigord region and Christian's house was the perfect place for us. Traveling with friends it was nice to have bedrooms very private from each other, above the main floor and below. (Their are two above and one below.) Furnishings and equipment in the house are amazingly well designed and functional and the kitchen is ideally equipped. We had warm enough weather to really appreciate the pool. The front porch of the house is much larger than I remembered from photos, with plenty of room for the large table for six, plus other chairs when needed. The view from the porch includes the castle above and the old church down below, and looks across the side valley to cliffs where prehistoric remains have been found. Five minutes from Beynac and Roque Gageac, 10 from Domme and 15 from Sarlat, the location was perfect for touring beautiful old villages. Just at the bottom of the hill (1 minute by car) were enough shops to keep the pantry full. The local manager was efficient and readily available, and able to communicate well enough despite the language difference. The owners (and his English-speaking daughter) were also always available by phone to help with any issues that arose. We highly recommend this house!

Castelnaud- what a view
A little gem of a holiday home in a great location . A character home with exposed beams and stonework. Comfortably appointed with all you need , especially smart kitchen. Sunny pool and terrace area, but possibly the best feature is it's wonderful view over the valley.
