“An elegant retreat brimming with classic French charm and modern luxury, in the heart of Perigord Noir. Interiors feature striking stone walls, soft earthy tones, and opulent touches like velvet and marble. Gourmet dining, a chic bar, a golf course, and a spa, it’s the perfect indulgent hideaway”

Hotel review

Reopened as an hotel in 2022, Domaine de Rochebois has a high-class country club feel as some come to play golf and others to be pampered in the spa. Down a beautifully landscaped drive beside a pond speckled with swans and a rockery cascading with water, the expansive grounds border the river Dordogne and are ideal for a romantic circular walk past the local Château de Montfort. Further afield are the Marqueyssac Gardens and Château des Milandes (the former home of Josephine Baker). Inside the hotel, past 16th-century tiles and a balustraded stairway, are the rooms. Classic and contemporary, all of them fresh with the high finish of the décor comprising calm neutral greys and beige as does the chic cement of the bathroom floor. Rooms and Suites at the side have private terraces with views over the pool and terrace where birds twitter amongst walnut and chestnut trees. The Spa Nuxe boasts the latest hydrotherapy pool and hammam with indulget treatments to soothe aching muscles. Le Wedge, the brasserie, beside the 9-hole golf course is a minute’s walk away under the stars and has an excellent menu, while Restaurant M offers sophisticated dining for romantic celebrations. In addition there's La Terrasse 360 for cocktails and light bites overlooking the Dordogne and finally enjoy a pianist tinkling the ivories at Josephine's Bar. You can’t beat a brand-new hotel.

Domaine de Rochebois

Arriving at this restored historic manor is like coming home to an ancestral family seat. The vast private estate, surrounded by castles, stands out with its welcoming ambience, five-star facilities (including golf course and NUXE spa) and dining offerings – M restaurant draws gourmands from far and wide.
