The 15th-17th century Château des Sénéchaux is set in the heart of the Dordogne countryside and makes a perfect base for discovering the region, being exceptionally located in the picturesque and historical village of Bourdeilles, just 9km (6 miles) from the quaint and vibrant town of Brantôme. Inspired by the soul of the property captured within the centuries-old stone walls and fairytale turrets, and the whispers of the spirits of those whose footsteps were once heard throughout the building, the Château des Sénéchaux offers a sublime backdrop for beautifully curated furniture and unique decorative objects from all over the world. A calm and peaceful feeling envelops you as you become immersed in the charm and serenity of the elegantly restored property, with stunning views from every window, and an overwhelming respite from the everyday routine. Uniquely furnished providing exceptional character and atmosphere, with voluminous living areas conducive to rest and relaxation, stylish kitchens, luxurious bathrooms with free-standing baths and large walk-in showers. A private terrace awaits each of our guests with superb views over the river and surrounding countryside.
We are genuine, warm and caring hosts who want you to feel the magic of the property. We keep your needs and desires as our priority and aim to allow you to be cocooned with a sense of luxury and space, class while maintaining comfort and sumptuousness, to be pampered and spoiled, and to have an unforgettable stay. We offer you our help in reserving tables, booking visits and organising itineraries, and relish the opportunity to let you concentrate on enjoying your stay. With David's intuition, innovative use of materials, determination, and natural skill and dexterity, together with Kay's ideas and complementary talents, we have brought our magnificent home back to its original splendour. In addition, during our travels in Asia and elsewhere, we have acquired original and stylish furniture and unique accessories, which have allowed us to accentuate the class and remarkable charm of the estate.
Situated just metres away from the river Dronne and in the heart of Dordogne countryside, the Château des Sénéchaux is perfectly located for paddle-boarding, wild swimming, and woodland walks. Available upon request is a row-boat for messing about on the river, or take it upstream and stop off for a picnic on the river bank. The gorgeous medieval village of Bourdeilles is on your doorstep, and just 10km up the road is the popular town of Brantôme, the Venice of the Dordogne. Almost every weekend there is a vide grenier (similar to car boot sales) in one village or another, festivals abound during summer, and there is a plethora of events to please every taste. In winter the village snuggles down to a gentle hibernation, yet music continues year-long in one establishment, and the local amenities provide plenty of distraction, whilst you discover the delicious intimacy of the village. Bourdeilles is perfectly placed as a base for discovering the Dordogne and its plethora of châteaux, castles, nature, rivers, and plentiful charms. There are bountiful fresh air related activities, and the Dordogne is renowned for its gastronomy. You will not be left wanting for things to do and see.
