We could see what a special place it was

We enjoyed a fantastic week at Chateau Rochette. From the moment we arrived, we could see what a special place it was. We were welcomed by the caretaker, and he spent time giving us a tour and showing us how things worked, which was very helpful.

As featured on Channel 4’s ‘Escape To The Château'

Chateau Rochette stands majestically, looking down across a valley once lorded over by this 12th-century Baronnie. The château was both witness and party to the Hundred Years War, now a sleeping giant of peace and tranquility.

Château Rochette has been meticulously restored with an eye towards preserving its original features. Modern comforts and amenities have been subtly woven into the fabric allowing the original château to remain at center stage. It is the perfect place for couples, families, and friends to come, relax, adventure and just be.

Château Rochette is central to and minutes away from all the remarkable places and adventures in the Dordogne and the Perigord Noir. Exploring the magnificent landscape and medieval surroundings will transport you to another century. It is minutes away from such places as Castelnaud, Beynac – the one-time stronghold of Richard the Lion heart, the ancient town of Sarlat, Domme and a seemingly unending list of places and remarkable experiences.

What Oliver loves...

  • Château Rochette and its owners were featured in the popular Channel 4 TV show, Escape to the Château
  • The château is every bit a real castle yet unlike many, it's a manageable size (so you won't get lost trying to find the bathroom!)
  • The château's peaceful hillside location and easy access to all things good in the Perigord Noir make it hard to beat
  • This is a property with a palpable sense of history, as it dates back to the Hundred Years War
  • There is an amusement park nearby (and one in La Bugue) as well as the Dordogne River

What you should know

  • Due to the ancient thick walls Wi-Fi is mainly available in the master bedroom and dining room with some coverage in the kitchen and patio.
  • The third floor of the château is not occupied and not accessible to guests

This home is a part of our Great Value and Heritage Collection!

This is a historic home, and as such:

  • 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!
