Domain

Our domain is located on the edge of the bastide Lalinde in an authentic setting where time seems to have stood still.
Once you enter by the big gate, you are in our fully enclosed park with beautiful old magnolia, cedar and oak trees. You will find many seating areas in the sun or in the shade. You can ,after you have checked in at the reception, park your car in our private parking for guests.
The swimming pool (17 x 7 m) has  a lovely view of the river, it has extensive terraces and is surrounded by palm and olive trees. The pool is filled with water from our own source. It is a unique oasis of peace. Behind the swimming pool you will find a terrace with lounge corner. Relax and enjoy the beautiful view with a good book or a drink. The pool, lounge corner and park are overnight attractively illuminated and invite you to enjoy until the early hours. Luxury lounge chairs with umbrellas  complete the picture.

The old park garden, beautiful terraces, the waterfall, palmtrees, olive trees and the river give you a Mediterranean holiday feeling. The peace-seeking holiday maker can use our sun beds or the various seats spread over the domain. Take advantage of its vast park, its outdoor swimming pool and its terraces overlooking the Dordogne valley to admire the riverbanks of the Dordogne river.
