What they say
One Michelin Key
Michelin
Its twenty rooms, each one named for a famous French wine, are divided between three buildings: the old mill itself, the miller’s residence, and the abbot’s house.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
The medieval village of Brantôme unfurls just outside, framed by the Dronne River, cliffside caves, and an eighth-century abbey.
The rooms
Split across three heritage houses, bedrooms pair original stonework with contemporary comforts, and select rooms open to private river terraces.
Dogs stay too.
At the table
Tables on the gravel terrace sit right along the water, serving Michelin-starred Périgourdin cooking opposite the medieval bridge.
How it began
Originally constructed as a watermill to grind grain for the nearby Benedictine abbey, the site has stood for centuries.
