Château de la Treyne

We had a truly wonderful stay. The service was excellent, every detail was thoughtfully taken care. The staff is very professional, welcoming and caring. We had a tasting menu, and every dish was a masterpiece. The castle is in a fantastic, well-preserved shape, and we felt like royalty being taken care of like one. (Even our dog felt it.) Thank you to the whole team for making our stay so comfortable. We can't wait to be back. We recommend this chateau to everyone, especially if you are looking for a romantic or just gorgeous, royalty-like stay.

Exceptional destination. The Chateau is stunning (part of it 14th century) A French fairytale castle! We couldn’t praise the staff enough. They are so helpful and their devotion to making their guests happy is fantastic. The grounds are beautiful and well kept. Stunning views. Also has a lovely private pool. Probably best to come by car but points of interest are nearby.

We had an amazing stay at the Chateau in a beautiful French countryside setting by the Dordogne river. Our rooms with breathtaking views of the Rose garden and the river were elegantly decorated and furnished. Terraces have beautiful scenic views and dining room has beautiful outdoor views and interior decor. Five star hospitality and courteous services by the entire staff made our stay very comfortable and delightful. Delectable sweets left in the room everyday were an added delights. We left with a lot of fond memories and cravings to return for a longer stay. Our sincere thanks to the owners and the entire staff.

The region is loaded with amazing places to stay and eat - and Treyne is more beautiful than most…but what distinguishes this chateau from the others is the service from the staff. The region experienced a 100 year wind storm and knocked the power out for over 2 days. During that time, ALL of the staff rallied around the owner and the guests to ensure that a positive experience could still be delivered. Hats off to Stephanie, Annabelle, Annalise, Morgan, Coralie and especially Maren. Way to save the day!!!

We were coming to the region and just love it! |Château de la Treyne was just the perfect place to stay for a long weekend to discover the surroundings.|We were staying at the stunning bedroom La Tour. The bathroom that is in the tower gives you almost a 360 degree views of the property.||We had dinner at the restaurant one night! It is really part of the experience of staying in the chateau so do not miss it! What a treat and a journey of flavours. The Michelin star chef, Stéphane Andrieux is definitely an artist of gastronomy!||Every morning, we got a full breakfast: homemade bread and viennoiseries and delicious homemade jams and local honey made in the park of the chateau. |All is intended to make you feel at home and very special!||The owners Stéphanie and Philippe and let´s not forget ¨the team¨, are always there to welcome you and make sure all your needs are covered.||A place not to forget and not to miss.

Absolutely incredible stay at Chateau De La Treyne. My husband and I stayed 2 nights for our anniversary - in the Cardinale room at the top of the tallest tower. It was the most unique hotel we have ever stayed in. The staff was so amazing and so kind. The food at the restaurant was delicious, and the atmosphere was unmatched. The terrace had the most beautiful views of the river. The chateau grounds were also extremely beautiful. Will absolutely be returning in the future next time we visit this region of France. The chateau is a bit remote but worth the trip. I would recommend coming with a car.

Our visit was so spectacular and over the top for everything we encountered at this beautiful destination along the Lot River.|The staff went all out to make sure that our stay was unforgettable. The food was delicious and accommodations elegant but comfortable. We wished we could have stayed much longer.

I got a bit of a tongue lashing from Stephanie, the owner, when I commented this time last year that an otherwise excellent Sunday lunch was marred by lapses in service. So I am delighted to report that last Sunday the restaurant was back on top form, the service, in that rare combination, both professional and friendly. The food on the no -choice lunch menu ( main course veal) was delicious and exquisitely presented on the plate; the ambience, on the terrace high up overlooking the canoeists paddling lazily down the Dordogne, unsurpassed.||Yes it’s expensive but so are all the other Michelin starred restaurants in the area. And this summer, this one was the best.

Are you traveling through France and want to experience south-eastern fine dining? This is the place for you. My boyfriend and I came here to celebrate my birthday and I am now happy, full, and a little drunk. They apparently have a much more economic fixed lunch menu at 40-something euros each, and a few other options at 80-something and 90-something each. But it was my birthday and I do love my foie gras, so the menu classique at 116 each, it was, and we were not sorry. The menu was apparently a sampling of re-imagined regional classics - and I'm a sucker for local foods. They started us off in a cozy room and sat us in front of a fire, which was much welcomed in this stubborn spring weather, brought out two glasses of champagne, and a plate with 3 amuse-bouche to start. The first was a toothpicked slice of artisanal cured salmon in beetroot juice under a layer of cream, topped with... duck I want to say? YUM. The second was a duck meatball with pistachios I believe. The third was phenomenal, something that I am sure to dream of for years to come. We were instructed to eat it all in one bite and when it comes to food, I do as I am told. A breaded little square of heavenly goodness that when bit into melted into liquid foie gras just sliding down your throat. I would like one/ten of those everyday before each meal, for the rest of my life please. Ok. Now to the meal, amazing. I'll try to remember it all. We were started with an oyster on a half shell poached in moscato, with a moscato foam and bits of crunchy bacon. Then an asparagus veloute that I suspect was made with witchcraft as asparagus soup in my house never quite tastes that good.... Some raw shaved asparagus, the top halves of some beautifully lightly poached asparagus, and a perfectly poached egg with truffles embedded into it's whites... too good to be true? I think so too. Wizard. Moving on to a beautifully cooked lobster accompanied by Normantie potatoes, small fingerling cooked deliciousness, accompanied by a generous amount of roasted garlic, a lobster claw, and more lobster chunks, all arranged in front of us by our magnificent maetre d'hotel (master of hotel?--more on him later). While the potatoes, the lobster, the garlic, all beautiful and elegant, the real star of the dish was the sauce. A brown --meat sauce--as my boyfriend calls it. Salty, tangy, buttery, savory, herby - all the good stuff. Then we were brought out a mill fouille of meat. What is this, you ask? Thin slices of cooked to perfection medium rare stake and decadent delicious foie gras. Topped by an inflated potato skin, a sweet, buttery carrot, on the side was a mille foille of potatoes, and then another brown meat sauce a little sweeter than the previous, and really just.... perfect. By this point i was almost too full.. and there's more. so much more. Then comes the cheese course. a wonderfully fragrant and almost spicy block of blue cheese, hugged by two very thin sweet crackers and a bit of salad scattered about. a slice of a red wine poached pear with such a beautiful fragrant cinnamon flavor. Simple, elegant, and beautiful. Then we were brought a mini cheese cake, a bit larger than an amuse bouche on a plate decorated by chocolate sauce, raspberry sauce, slices of citrisy things, all together simply delicious. Next was the real desert? MORE! a out tiny marble sized piece of poached pear with a dot of chocolate up top. a pear sorbet. a cream/topped with pear jello/topped with a custard thing that was absolutely delicious. a small square of saffron flan with a gingerbread like cookie crumble on top. yum. and next our maetre d'hotel brought this out for everyone, he said compliments of the chef? a plate with a basil infused strawberry cream...a little caramel nut pie?! a big bar of orange zest white chocolate, and pistachio covered dark chocolate, and a walnut covered wafer. I could die. actually..Did I!? The food was phenomenal, the place was perfect, with a beautiful garden outback that's worth a walk around and lent itself to some beautiful (if I do say so myself) photo opps. The staff was kind, courteous, and extremely helpful. We asked our maetre d'hotel who is extremely knowledgeable to please pick out our demi-bottle of white and red, and man were we happy we did, he also assured us he would be reasonable with the price, which since I wasn't paying, couldn't have mattered less to me! Muahahahaaa! I kid, I kid. It was definitely nice to know we wouldn't be charged 3,000 for a bottle of wine. We started with the white-beautiful, crisp, light, floral, not too dry, but a very nice bottle of white. and then the red was the real showstopper, we opened it up right after the lobster and I swear with every gout(taste) I could taste that roasted garlic stronger in my mouth. This red had such an amazing and unusual aftertaste of butter. I wanted to slather it on some bread and then bathe in it. Perfect meal. Will dream of this for years to come
