Hotel Review

In an increasingly digital age, it can be difficult to find a holiday location which will really allow you to cut off from the world at home - social networks and all - and bask in the beauty of nature. The Dordogne region, steeped in medieval history and fairytale forests, is the idyllic setting for an unplugged getaway. Le Moulin de Larcy capitalizes on the best of the Dordogne's charm; located in an ancient mill, the guesthouse is surrounded by 20 acres of magical woodland. Wake up to the sound of gurgling water from the river that runs outside the apartments and birds in the verdant gardens. Guests can choose between three, individually styled apartments. The ground floor Lavendula apartment is wheelchair accessible, has ample living space and boasts a separate kitchen and dining area. The middle Melisse apartment is basked in warm colours and has a large sun terrace, while the luxurious Angelica apartment on the second floor offers terrace dining. A stylish and serene country getaway.

Le Moulin de Larcy

Peace, solitude and natural beauty reign supreme at the Moulin de Larcy, a hidden adults-only retreat straddling the Dronne River near Villetoureix. The ancient mill, once used to crush local walnuts for their oil, is a chic chambre d’hôte today, with tasty evening dining too.
