About this castle / palace rental
Protected by the walls of Castle Beynac, and the inaccessible cliff, this secret and invisible mansion, has a theatrical and spectacular view over the valley of the 5 Castles and the Dordogne River.
5/6 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, a heated pool, a pool house, a gazebo, and flowered terraced gardens of 2500m2, make this mansion a dream holiday home in which to relax, to be alone, dreaming in the shade of lime trees, or to gather around the pool with family or friends.
On the ground floor the very large living - dining room - billiards, with a large mezzanine library, which overlooks a huge fireplace. Large windows let in light and open onto the valley and the garden.
The kitchen is comfortable, well equipped and friendly, with table and stools, 6 induction and ceramic hotplates, 3 ovens including 1 microwave, two refrigerators, a dishwasher. Additionally, a large freezer, extra refrigerator, and refrigerated wine cellar in the garden shed stone.
A beautiful spiral staircase leads to the two wings the first offering 3 bedrooms including a master suite with king size bed; and two bathrooms, each with bath, shower, double basin, toilet.
2nd wing: Large library bedroom with double bed and shower room with toilet at upper floor. Extra bedroom for another 2 children.
A guest house in the garden, just a few meters away from the main house, with a nice suite of 50 m2, with king size bed, bathroom with bath and shower, separate toilet, allowing independent sleeping accomodation.
The hanging gardens on four levels, with flowered hollyhocks or botanical roses, part of the charm of the house, add to the feeling of space, and are all living areas. Gazebo for reading and relaxation, the main terrace with large dining room, sunken field games, with its rose garden, the pool at the base of the house...
A privilege, not a detail in this steep and pedestrian village, access to the house is by car, to the attached garage, and private and secure parking for 4 cars.

Magic. 1. Location, location, location. The grounds and vistas are stunning. Castles, Dordogne River, village stone rooftops, outdoor dining while overlooking canoes paddling down the Dordogne, hot air balloons… from 2 or 3 tiers including the pool and a stone perch to oversee them all. Doesn’t get any more magical. 2. The manor - living in a storybook mansion of old. Incredible stone spiral staircase, deep and rich gothic style windows, hundred of years old heavy oak doors, wooden raftered ceilings. Amazing. 4 functional bedrooms in main house. Bonus - a villa for 2 just across the yard with a charming window overlooking the valley. 3. The carpeting in bedroom hallway and some of the furniture could use updating. The villa or cottage for 2 could use a facelift. And it is an old manor and it smells like it when it first opens. But things settle pretty quickly. 4. Kitchen amenities are good - frig, stove, ovens… all good. Washer / dryer - good. Takes for ever. But good. Needs much sharper cutlery, dish towels, steak knife’s and curry boards - food prep stuff. Entertainment equipment needs modernization. Cable. Internet was bad. Not available in villa / cottage. 5. Needs a Prive sign on gate. Tourist really want to see inside! As they should!6. Garage was plentiful. Tricky. But fun. It’s not haunted. lol

Great stay and great property managers.
8 / 10Excellent·Aug 2024
The property was ideal for our family group (ages 10-79). We particularly enjoyed the outdoor space with its wonderful views over the Dordogne valley and places to spend time together or apart. The pool is fantastic. There was ample kitchen equipment, crockery and cutlery and masses of fridge and freezer space. There is an ice cream parlour immediately opposite the gate.
However, one toilet was broken and needed careful handling and the bathrooms need updating. There were many cobwebs in the lounge!
The property is not very suitable for young children, having long, ungated stone stairs in the garden and no secure gate to the pool. For older people and those with mobility problems, there are a lot of stairs, the main spiral staircase does not have a handrail and the walk to the village is very steep.
6 / 10Average·Aug 2023
You couldn’t get a better view if you tried, but the rest was less than standard. The kitchen was not that well equipped. The bedrooms are not comfortable and the bathrooms are dirty and need to be replaced. No stereo unless you happen to be using cassettes (which nobody does). If you want to drink out of matching wine glasses there are only 3 that match. The access is difficult if you have a large vehicle and they should explain this on the listing (restricted height and width). It is also very difficult to find even with instructions. Fans in bedrooms, some work, some don’t. Broken bedside lamps. They charge you for cleaning although the place isn’t very clean.
