Overview
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.

For a longer trip, visit Sarlat-le-Caneda (29 km), a market town ideal for foodies, or Rocamadour (16 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.

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.

It was one of the best holidays myself and my family members have ever had!
I hired the Chateau De Gombert in the Dordogne through Oliver's Travels. It was expensive but in my mind worth every penny. The place was absolutely magical. Overlooking the Dordogne River with fabulous kitchen, rooms and terrace. There were 14 of us sitting out on the terrace every night eating and drinking under the canopy of stars. Everything went very smoothly. There were a couple of small hiccups but these were instantly put right by contacting Zuzana, the concierge at Oliver's Travels. Would not hesitate for a moment to use Oliver's Travels again
