If you have ever dreamed of staying a while in a picture-book château complete with ivy-clad tower and garden of roses, yet one that also has a perfect pool and blissful beds, you need look no further than the Château Limeuil. Nestled into the curve of a wooded hillside on its 19-acre estate, the château blends the best of old and new, providing a secluded and comfortable retreat from which to explore this historic and many faceted area of southwest France.
Step into the welcoming stone-flagged hallway and then into the grand dining room and spacious sitting room, each with an imposing fireplace and lit from both sides by tall windows and doors to the gardens. Just beyond, the frescoed card room in the tower and the wood-paneled study offer space for a quieter moment, while upstairs the sumptuous bedrooms and immaculate bathrooms provide the best of modern comforts. In the kitchen, on the other side of the hall, there is plenty of room for several cooks and for enjoying informal meals, or you can dine in a shady corner of the terrace just outside it.
Make your way through the opulent gardens, overflowing with roses and fragrant plants, for a dip in the generous size pool, or stroll a little way up the hill to the hard tennis court, where you'll discover a panoramic view over the lush farmlands and orchards of the valley to the distant hills.
Restaurants, shops and services are just minutes away in a nearby riverside village, where a market has been held every Tuesday since 1319! Only a little further are the famed prehistoric sites around Lascaux and the superb châteaux along the Dordogne river. All in all, Limeuil is the perfect place to enjoy both past and present.
