Chateau De Gombert - Five Bedroom Castle, Sleeps 16

On a cliff overlooking the Dordogne River, the Chateau de Gombert, a 14th century castle in the Midi-Pyrenees, combines luxury living and French tradition. Dine on a stone terrace whose archways have breathtaking views, and swim in a pool on 5 hectares of wooded grounds.

The chateau’s renovated interior includes the original stone walls but all the comforts you need. The bedrooms feature en-suite bathrooms, which allow families travelling together to have private space. The living room has an impressive stone fireplace, and the fully equipped kitchen is ready for your culinary creations. If you’d prefer to relax, daily housekeeping and breakfast service is available.

At this French luxury villa, you’re near the best of the Dordogne and Lot areas. The town of Souillac (16 km) has the shops you need, as well as a charming museum of automated toys. For a longer trip, visit Sarlat-le-Caneda (36 km), a market town ideal for foodies, or Rocamadour (20 km), a pilgrimage town with stunning cliff-side views. Not in the mood to travel? There’s a Michelin star restaurant just 2 km away.

The Chateau de Gombert is near Brive (35 km), Limoges (153 km) and Toulouse (168 km) airports.
