What they say
One Michelin Key
Michelin
Le Vieux Logis is a 25-room lodging with as much personality as luxury, still family-owned and operated after all these years.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Trémolat surrounds the hotel with honey-colored stone lanes, a central village square with its own bistro, and tranquil Dordogne riverbanks.
The rooms
Bedrooms across the priory and garden annexes feature exposed oak beams, antique furnishings, and views over formal clipped hedges.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The heated outdoor pool sits amid landscaped lawns and clipped topiaries, with sun loungers facing the priory.
Dogs stay too.
Restaurant Le Vieux Logis
Michelin-starred dining fills the former tobacco-drying barn, where Chef Vincent Arnould serves Périgordian dishes beneath painted timber beams.
At the table
Drinks are poured in the wood-paneled bar, and afternoon tables on the garden terrace look across clipped hedges.
How it began

Founded as a sixteenth-century priory and later a tobacco farm, the Giraudel family opened the estate as an inn in 1952.
