The finest hotels and guesthouses in the Dordogne
The Dordogne is a multifaceted region with a wide range of attractions, making it one of France’s must-visit destinations. Here’s a closer look at the Dordogne’s finest hotels and guesthouses, ranging from charming to luxurious.
Classified prehistoric sites, villages listed among France’s Most Beautiful Villages, unspoiled landscapes, exceptional products such as Périgord truffles, foie gras, and Bergerac wines… the region offers a wealth of places to explore this land of nature and gastronomy. A selection of the finest hotels in the Dordogne.
1. Domaine de Rochebois | A 4-star hotel with a spa in the Périgord Noir
The pitch? Located in Vitrac, just a few minutes from Sarlat-la-Canéda, this luxury hotel in the Dordogne is housed in a 19th-century mansion surrounded by extensive grounds and French-style gardens. It features 40 rooms and suites, several dining venues, a Nuxe spa, and an outdoor pool.
The setting? In Vitrac, you’re right in the middle of a postcard-perfect scene from the Périgord Noir! The Dordogne River winds its way between limestone cliffs and wooded hillsides, while the Château de Montfort overlooks the river from its rocky outcrop. From the hotel, you can easily reach Sarlat, as well as Domme, La Roque-Gageac, Beynac, and Castelnaud—some of the valley’s most iconic villages and castles. Vitrac is also a popular starting point for canoeing down the Dordogne.
The rooms? Spread across the 19th-century château and the Louise and Hortense villas, the 40 guest rooms exude a luminous elegance, a far cry from the rustic folklore one might imagine of a Périgord residence. White and cream tones dominate, enlivened by curtains and fabrics featuring botanical patterns. The bathrooms are clad in marble. Rooms start at 25 m², but guests are happy to opt for one of the categories with a terrace: the Deluxe Terrace rooms overlook the gardens and the forest, while the best-located suites open onto the gardens, the pool, and the Dordogne Valley. The largest, a duplex, spans 80 m².
The restaurant? For lunch or dinner, head to Le M, the estate’s main dining room. At lunchtime, the menu takes on the feel of a modern brasserie; in the evening, it focuses more on the Périgord region, featuring locally sourced, seasonal cuisine. The Joséphine is the place to go for aperitifs, offering cocktails, wines, and spirits. On sunny days, the Terrasse 360 is well worth a visit: perched high above the estate, it offers a 360-degree panoramic view of the Dordogne Valley and the wooded hills of the Périgord. It’s a particularly pleasant spot at the end of the day, when the light bathes the valley.
The spa? This spa hotel in the Périgord is renowned for its 400 m² Nuxe Spa, which is bright and opens wide onto the gardens. The large indoor pool, heated to 34 °C, features eight hydromassage jet zones and two Jacuzzis: so you can truly spend an hour there splashing around and unwinding. Surrounding the pool are lounge chairs, a herbal tea lounge, individual treatment rooms, and a double treatment room, all complemented by a private hammam. The Nuxe menu offers massages, facials, and body treatments. Hotel guests are entitled to one hour per day in the pool, by reservation. In the summer, the setting changes: guests can enjoy the outdoor infinity pool, nestled in the gardens with the rolling countryside of the Périgord as a backdrop.

2. Château de la Treyne | Relais & Châteaux luxury hotel in the Dordogne
The pitch? The former residence of the Marquis de Cardaillac, built in the 14th century, this Relais & Châteaux property has been lavishly renovated by the Gombert family—who have owned it since the 1980s—into a 5-star hotel. Thanks to its idyllic setting and the region’s many tourist attractions, Château de la Treyne is the ideal Dordogne hotel for a nature-focused getaway in this beautiful region.
The setting? Château de la Treyne may seem like an impressive historical landmark, but it’s a warm and welcoming place to stay. Its location offers a unique setting and view. Perched on a rocky outcrop overlooking the Dordogne Valley, Château de la Treyne seems to float above the river it overlooks. It is surrounded by a large park featuring two ponds, a formal garden, and century-old cedars. The 120-hectare private forest adjoining the château offers numerous paths for walks and hikes without even needing to take the car. Relax by the large heated infinity pool after a game of tennis or a jog along the old mail carrier’s path carved into the rock.
The rooms? An authentic château atmosphere permeates the 18 elegantly styled rooms and suites, where every object seems to have been placed with meticulous care. Fabrics, heavy curtains, and antique furnishings evoke the medieval charm of days gone by, while modern amenities ensure absolute comfort. If you want to feel like a prince or princess for a night, choose one of the rooms with comfortable four-poster beds. For family time, choose the Prison Dorée suite , named after its former role as the castle’s prison! Located at the top of the 14th-century square tower, you’ll be captivated by its 90-square-meters of stone walls overlooking the garden. Special mention must be made of the charm of the bathroom in the La Favorite room, with its mirrored wall, rounded golden bathtub, and electric underfloor heating. A must for elegance and serenity.
The restaurant? This exceptional place wouldn’t be complete without a dining experience to match. Michelin-starred chef Stéphane Andrieux has been at the helm of the kitchen since 1998, transforming it into a culinary institution. He trained under top chefs such as Didier Clément at the Lion d’Or in Romorantin. Since hanging up his knives at Château de la Treyne, he has reimagined local cuisine with a subtle twist, playing on bitterness and acidity, as in this semi-cooked foie gras with spices, Picon jelly, baked apple marmalade, and Granny Smith jelly. He also works with Quercy lamb, foie gras, and poularde from Pierre Duplantier, which can be enjoyed by candlelight in the grand Louis XIII salon, notable for its wood-paneled fireplace, coffered ceilings, and warm-colored tapestries. On the sweet side, there’s no shortage of delicious desserts from pastry chef Marc: the pear petit entremet with roasted vanilla and ginger, or the Manjari chocolate with fleur de lait, sweet clover, and tonka beans, served with yogurt sorbet.
Bonus tip? Weather permitting, starting in May, we recommend settling in on the panoramic terrace overlooking the Dordogne. The view is sublime, and a magical, romantic moment is guaranteed!
Good to know? An organic gardener has been tending the vast vegetable garden since 2018, using an eco-friendly and self-sufficient approach to supply the restaurant with plants and produce. The estate’s chickens, acquired in 2024, are fed on organic waste collected from the kitchen. What’s more, the property has its own beehives: you can take some honey from the château home with you if you’d like.
