Chateau De Ruffiac Region: Dordogne Guide Price: 4,551-5,851 per week Sleeps: 16 Image not readable or empty typo3conf/ext/olivers_travels/resources/public/img/pdf-l Overview You and your guests will feel like aristocracy in this stately 17th century chateau overlooking the Dordogne river. It has been painstakingly restored in the French renaissance style - whether you re reading in the library or wandering the 20-hectare park with private hiking paths, here your chateau holiday will recall the grandeur of old. Luxe perks are readily available (maid service, on-site concierge, and a chef service, all at additional cost), so your only worries involve how to spend your family holiday. And you certainly have options; descend to the private pool in a green garden, walk just a few minutes to the banks of the river Dordogne, or explore the heights of the chateau s towers. The Dordogne holds endless possibilities - boat cruises, hot-air ballooning, golf, canoeing and discovering the dozens of beautiful small towns. We recommend touring Sarlat-la-Canéda (15 km), where the Rue de la Republique is a medieval maze for pedestrians only. A culinary center, here you ll find foie gras and truffles, the region s specialties. Wine lovers will demand a day trip to Bergerac (90 km), the centre of the region's wine production. However you spend your days here, they'll be infused with the magic of the Dordogne. Good news! This property is available as a Vill otel Yey! Wait what is that?
