Idyllic sanctuary in a stream-laced garden near a loop of the Dordogne River, half an hour east of Bergerac. A 17th-century vine-clad manor and several mellow stone dwellings contain 25 guest quarters outfitted with colorful contemporary fabrics, country antiques and full modern baths, most with separate tubs and showers; some lodgings feature working fireplaces and spacious canopy beds. Atmospheric public rooms include a timbered lounge, a library and a snug bar. Three dining options include a Michelin-starred restaurant in a converted tobacco-drying barn (with summer terrace) for local seasonal cuisine. A garden swimming pool of golden Périgord stone fed by spring water completes the picture. The property is overseen by the Giraudel family, who have lived here for almost 400 years.

The warm, attentive and anticipatory service; the plush but cozy décor; the fine gourmet restaurant and charming bistro; the outdoor pool amid formal gardens.
Even Grand Standing Rooms aren’t especially large; book an Apartment if possible.
The Michelin-starred La Tour des Vents, under the same ownership, is an ideal stop for lunch near the vineyards of Monbazillac and Bergerac.
Lowest Rate: Standard Room, $220; Editor’s Choice: Junior Suite, $560.
