A fairy tale you might think, but one brought to life by a British family that loves France and particularly this part of the Périgord-Limousin Natural Regional Park in northern Dordogne. This historical property has been renovated to retain many of it’s original features with its 13th century tower & chapel and thick granite walls, vast rooms and cavernous fireplaces, stunning terrace overlooking lakes, fields and forests and an abundance of nearby villages, towns and famed attractions. Come and relax in this character property with its plunge pool and gardens, play boules, practise your archery skills or just soak up the sun with tea and scones or wine. Take strolls amidst the lakes and woodlands or venture further afield to explore the route taken by Richard the Lion Heart. Eat and drink like a King (or Queen) with the cuisine and wine that this region is world renowned for. Visit abbeys and churches and other nearby chateaus. And when your day is done relax on the terrace as the clouds drift by and everyday stresses melt away. You, like us will fall under the spell of Chateau Gros Puy and leave feeling refreshed, replenished and reflecting on memories to cherish forever more. ## Property amenities ### Pool/Spa - Private pool ### Internet - Available in the house: WiFi ### Parking and transport - Car required - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Hob - Ice maker - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Dining - Free breakfast available ### Bedrooms - 4 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 3 bathrooms - Bathtub - Hair dryer - Shower - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Fireplace - Living room - Wood stove ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - Games - TV with cable/satellite channels ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Garden - Outdoor furniture ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Housekeeping (limited availability) - Iron/ironing board - Safe ### Location highlights - In a rural location ### Things to do - Billiards/pool table - Birdwatching nearby - Cycling nearby - Fishing nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Wildlife walks nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Garden - Property does not allow children ## Similar properties ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/35000000/34400000/34396600/34396574/3cf41a36.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Gite St Estephe PERIGORD VERT Saint-Estèphe - Kitchen - Washer - Pet-friendly - Free WiFi 9.8 Exceptional 63 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-05&endDate=2025-11-06&selected=34396574&PinnedHotelID=34396574&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ## Policies ### Check-in Check-in time starts at 4:00 PM ### Check-out Check-out before 11:00 AM ### Special check-in instructions You will receive an email from the host with check-in and check-out instructions ### Pets Pets not allowed ### Children and extra beds This property does not allow children ### Events No events allowed ### Smoking Smoking is not permitted ## Important information ### You need to know This property is managed by a private host (a party not acting within their trade, business or profession).
