You’ll be wowed by the large swimming pool and the stunning pool house, a beautifully restored barn with table tennis and covered lounging areas.
The chateau’s exceptional accommodation includes 6 spacious bedrooms. With two four-poster beds, a sleigh bed, other period French furniture and fine linens, 12 people can sleep in comfort.

Wine lovers have a short drive to Bergerac vineyards, and with three major rivers nearby, outdoor enthusiasts can canoe or kayak through beautiful natural scenes.

- It has probably been standing for over 100 years, which means it's full of historic value and charm but it may also have one or two quirks!
- Some of the decor and furnishings may not be brand new, but that should not detract from your holiday experience in this unique setting that allows you to take a step back in time!

Region
The pace of life in the Dordogne is languid, laid back and positively infectious. Relax in bucolic beauty as you drift along the Dordogne River, or wander among the forests and hillside of the Périgord Natural Park.
The foodie scene too, is a relaxed affair. Take your time over your lazy lunches of local duck, black truffles and goats cheese. If you’re feeling energetic, you can even hunt for them yourself. The wine here is second to none, with infamous grapes like Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Chenin Blanc all having a huge presence here.
The Dordogne is also brimming with history. Castles and chateaux are scattered throughout the region, among the enchanting medieval villages. History of an altogether more ancient sort can also be explored in the incredible prehistoric cave drawings of Lascaux and Grotte de Rouffignac.

Fabulous family holiday!
Thank you so much, we had a wonderful time in your lovely home. It is such a beautiful house and was the perfect holiday for us all - even my father thought it was the loveliest house we have stayed in, in all our holidays in France and he is an architect who specialises in listed buildings back home!
Anyway thanks again for all your help with everything before we arrived and for organising the chef who was fantastic.

Truly Remarkable
We all thoroughly enjoyed staying at this beautiful house, in what is a really lovely location. Plenty of space, privacy, garden, fantastic pool etc to relax and enjoy some time away. Whilst we had a few cloudy / rainy days, we had plenty of time to explore the area, a few local markets and sample the local produce!
Martine was very welcoming and helpful. We enjoyed meeting Raphael, the Chef, and he produced a delicious meal for us on the Monday evening - a great idea!

A treasured and family loved house
Robert, we're just back from our 3 weeks away and our week in your gorgeous house was the first week, We had a wonderful time. Thank you. Your house is perfect. The pool house, the pool, the views, the terraces to enjoy meals and drinks. The kitchen was perfectly equipped with what we needed, and apologies, one ramekin and one wine glass were broken and we left money to cover this on leaving and told Martine. Martine was lovely and communicated everything we might need to know. It was incredibly comfortable and we had a very lovely week, visiting markets, and simply relaxing. It was lovely to be staying in what is obviously a very treasured and family loved house. I looked at a picture book of a celebration a few years ago and strangely recognised Austin Harrigan who I met last year at a friend's 40th. Small world. I presume he might be a friend of one of your children…Anyway, we had a very special time. My daughter got very up to speed with her swimming and is a very confident little fish now, so thank you for that too! Do hope you've had a good summer and thank you also for the very lovely wine on arrival. Many thanks again to you and your family for giving our family a truly memorable week at Chateau Segalas.
