Hôtel Restaurant - Chateau de Lalande

Every detail has been considered at Chateau de Lalande. The Chateau is beautiful and the grounds are meticulous. Our room was extremely well appointed and our children loved having their own room within our larger family room. We ate dinner and breakfasts both days and the food was delicious and very high quality. The owner, Catherine, was extremely helpful in sharing suggestions for how we would spend our details and her recommendations were perfect. It is a very calm environment and we will absolutely return.

The welcome and hospitality from Madame are just outstanding. Nothing is too much trouble, she is friendly and helpful and incredibly warm. Without it being 'too much', it almost felt like staying with friends. Her husband, and business partner, is in charge of the kitchen and dinners and breakfasts were delightful. The chateau is very pretty and it's a great base to explore the Dordogne (easy drive into Perigueux, but an expensive taxi ride). Only quibble was that the shower - which looked great - was a bit feeble. Oh, and pretty, elegant, but not terribly practical couch in the room. Bed was large and comfy (we were in a junior suite).
