What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
A 19th-century estate on the edge of the Périgord Noir, Domaine de Rochebois commands views over the Dordogne valley from manicured gardens and an infinity pool.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Sarlat's medieval market town is an eight-minute drive away, and Château de Beynac sits just down the valley.

The rooms
Rooms occupy the château and neighboring villas in mellow tones, and many open onto private terraces overlooking the valley.
The indoor pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Stone mosaic columns frame the indoor sensory pool, where hydromassage jets face floor-to-ceiling windows looking onto the estate.
The spa & gym
At the table
Restaurant Le M serves seasonal Périgord dishes, and drinks arrive on the panoramic terrace overlooking the Dordogne valley.
How it began
The nineteenth-century manor once served as a religious orphanage, then sat abandoned for years before reopening as a hotel in 2022.

A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
The scene
