holidays rental of castle with pool Saint-Geyrac, France

Elegant and breathtaking, this castle guarantees a particularly luxurious holiday in the Dordogne. Built in 1611, Chateau de Monferrier has been stylishly renovated to meet the highest standards. As the chateau has never been abandoned and the current owners are only the fifth since its construction, the best of each period has been preserved. From the elegant window handles in the shape of winged angels to the carved limestone balustrade staircase, from the imposing fireplaces to the high French windows, and from the beamed ceilings to the classical proportions - it is a property that enjoys perfect lighting and a serene peace. Located on a low hill with beautiful views in all directions, the chateau features classical architecture with meticulous symmetry and alignment. The castle sits on the border of the Perigord Blanc and the Perigord Noir. This part of the Dordogne is known as the gastronomic centre of France with many excellent restaurants, some with Michelin stars. The farmers' markets (especially the Périgueux farmers market is famous; it has the best and freshest products which can be bought on market days which are Wednesday and Saturday mornings), numerous grand chateaux and historic sites are also nearby, including the Lascaux caves and the limestone houses in Les Eyzies.
