Le Prieuré de Fénelon

8 guests | 4 bedrooms | 4 bathrooms | superb view | heated pool (10 x 5m)

In the heart of the Perigord Noir, just under Sarlat, you will find your dream holiday home Le Prieuré de Fénelon. This historic place offers luxury, a stunning view and piece and quiet. The heated pool and sun terrace together with the high quality services guarantee a relaxed vacation in France. When we walked through the main gate, the beauty of the ancient courtyard and lovely house opened our eyes. A little hidden gem.

Le Prieuré de Fénelon dates back to the 17th century and has been sympathetically and loving restored by the Rougié family. It is situated on top of a hill overlooking the rolling hills of the Dordogne valley and the impressive Château de Fénelon. This French countryside offers many chateaux and ancient villages. Le Prieuré de Fénelon (x8 guests) has great possibilities for larger groups since it can be rented with 3 neighboring houses: La Métairie de Fénelon (x10 guests), L’Ostalet de Fénelon (x2 guests) and the possibility to accommodate an additional (x2 guests) in the small holiday cottage on site La Petite Maison, creating a charming little private village called Domaine de Fenelon.

The former presbytery Le Prieuré de Fénelon can accommodate 8 people and has been tastefully decorated with an eye for detail and in line with the historical elements. The subtle combination of medieval furniture and some Orient inspired furniture create a unique and warm atmosphere. The authentic architecture of the building, the large rooms with monumental fireplaces, walls of natural stone and wooden beamed ceilings breathe the atmosphere of times gone by.

Through the old gate you enter the paradisiacal courtyard, from where beautiful stone steps lead you to the dining room and the adjoining kitchen. You also have a second professional (summer) kitchen (cuisine d’ été) which makes it delicious to eat with the whole party outside on the covered terrace. Special attention has been paid to the design of the kitchens so that you can fully enjoy culinary delights. Cutlery and crockery are made of silver and porcelain and beautiful glasses complete it all for an elegant dinner or festive meal. The charcoal barbecue also offers countless possibilities for lovers of a cosy BBQ. Private catering service available!

The beautifully paved courtyard with ornate fountain also offers access to the 17th century chapel (a multifunctional space for weddings and parties or for business gatherings), a private heated swimming pool and the beautiful gardens. Here you have a sublime view of the valley and the neighbouring Château de Fénelon.

“

For the second time we had a wonderful holiday in this beautiful residence. Sharon has cooked a delicious meal and an evening babysitting our grandson, for next year we already know where we will go. (translation)

“

Beautiful house and a great location! (translation)
“

Great property in a fantastic location. Fine pool with sun loungers and umbrellas. View is phenomenal! The house is well maintained and if you want to make use of Sharon's cooking skills this is highly recommended. In short, we are happy to come back! (translation)
“

A serene setting on an exceptional site!! (translation)
“

An incredible week, the most beautiful setting, glorious gardens, fabulous pool. We felt spoilt and relaxed and don't want to go home!
“

The welcome, quality of service, etc., the art of chef Sharon, all of whom have 5 stars. (translation)
“

Le Prieuré is spectacular! The house is gorgeous, comfy, clean and incredibly well maintained. It really feels like you are staying in a castle! The grounds are perfectly manicured and the view is breathtaking. This was my third trip to the house, and I will definitely be back. The friends I brought with me this time are already planning to return (without me!). I have stayed in multiple 5 star resorts around the world and Le Prieuré ranks up there with them. Caroline, Marianne, and Sharon are lovely, helpful, and incredibly responsive. I can't recommend this property enough!
