Château La Carrière - Self-catering in Dordogne
Chateau La Carriere, 24220 Saint-Cyprien, Dordogne
Aquitaine,
Francia
Originally built in the 1600s from warm limestone, the château oozes character and ticks every romantic box: towers with limestone roofs, turret stairs and a charming pigeonnier. But the feel is intimate with cosy spaces to gather plus a smart kitchen and every creature comfort you might fancy: a swimming pool, hot tub, gym, private cinema and a plush bar.
Outside there are miles of woodland walks from the door, a playground to keep children happy and a lake and lakehouse set up for yoga classes or pampering massages – just ask the friendly owners who can organise anything. Pick up local treats from the Sunday market in Saint-Cyprien (5km) and eat in the gilded dining room before sipping a digestif in front of a glowing fire – or dine outside on the huge terrace and gaze at the mesmerising valley views.
Sumptuous bedrooms with marble bathrooms are scattered across both wings, the tower and the pigeonnier – perfect for families and friends.

Local points of interest from Amélie Reservat:
Punti d'interesse locali da
Amélie Reservat:
- Château La Carrière is located in the heart of the Périgord Noir in the Dordogne, one of the most celebrated areas in France, known for its lush landscape, stunning chateaux, beautiful medieval villages, pre-historic caves and rich food culture.
- It's said there are 1001 chateaux in the Dordogne. Some of the most famous are less than a 20-minute drive: Beynac (perched on a rock), Castelnaud (awesome fortress), Milandes (former home of Josephine Baker) and Commarque (fairytale ruin).
- Some of the most beautiful towns and villages in France are on our doorstep: Sarlat (14th-century town centre), Beynac (known for its impressive castle), La Roque-Cageac (built against a rock), Domme (great views) and Saint-Léon-sur-Vézère.
- Château La Carrière is very close to a number of world famous caves with prehistoric wall paintings. The most renowned is Lascaux, but some less famous ones such as Font-de-Gaume, Bara-Bahau and Grotte du Sorcier are awe-inspiring as well.
- Food is a very important part of life in the Périgord Noir. Our village, Saint-Cyprien, has a particularly lively market on Sunday morning. And if you like wine, we highly recommend going to our neighbour, a well-known organic wine maker.
- Finally, if you like walking or mountain biking, come to the Dordogne, where you find endless forest trails. Two of them even start right at Château La Carrière. Just watch out for all the wildlife!
