Château de la Treyne

The Chateau is absolutely beautiful, with stunning grounds that are impeccably maintained. The view of the river is amazing. |The common areas are elegant and inviting, perfect for relaxing or enjoying a quiet|moment. The staff were attentive, friendly, and always ready to help, making our stay even more enjoyable. Dinner at the hotel is a must. The food was so delicious with the most amazing wait staff, thank you!!! The chef is amazing and helped us with some delicious alternatives when dietary restrictions arose. If you can't be happy at this beautiful chateau you can't be happy anywhere. Just go !!!!! A wonderful experience from start to finish.

This was our third visit to the Chateau; it won't be our last. The location is unique: situated on a cliff high above the Dordogne, lush fragrant gardens to stroll through, trails to walk, and not another building around. The staff is friendly and professional ready to help in any way. The food is Michelin star perfection. The rooms (we have stayed in 3 different ones) are quiet, very clean, and luxuriously appointed. Even though the Chateau is secreted its location is perfect for day tripping; several lovely beaux villages close by. If you like foie gras there are many shops selling it. We are looking forward to our next visit.

One of the best hotel/chateau experiences we have had. The attention to detail is exceptional. We went with our newborn son, and they made every effort to make our stay comfortable. There was a cot, changing table and little tiny robe and slippers for our son. During dinner they offered to help us with our baby so we can enjoy dinner. Our room is spacious and very clean. It is very quiet and comfortable. The restaurant is excellent. The food is modern, well presented and delectable. We had a great dinner and a breakfast. The staffs are extraordinary. Both front office and service staff. Everyone is polite, professional and ready to help. They made sure we had a great stay. It is so refreshing. We will definitely come back. It will be a stay we will remember for a long time.

This was definitely the nicest hotel I've ever stayed in. The restaurant was also beautiful - with a wonderful view of the river. A really special place and we hope to come back one day. The staff really made our stay special - all the little details like children's bath robes and a candy bowl when we arrived, afternoon snacks like small cookies or fresh apricots left in our rooms for tea and evening chocolates left on our pillows. The kids keep talking about the surprise chocolates left on our pillows each night - it really made our stay extra special. The restaurant is amazing and will be an experience I will always remember. The view is amazing. Even when this hotel is fully booked it feels like you're the only one there - there were several times when we were the only people at the pool and it felt like we had this big beautiful castle all to ourselves. The breakfast was delicious (albeit quite expensive) - everything feels really special at this place. It's really a beautiful special place. We hope to come back someday. The staff even arranged a babysitter and for the children to eat in a private room one evening so we could dine in the restaurant alone which was lovely and the kids really enjoyed their meal. One word of warning - even though the staff really was accommodating and tried to make our stay as comfortable as possible, I wouldn't say this is a kid-friendly hotel per say. French kids are really impeccably well-behaved. They sit quietly and patiently for hours at meal times, they eat absolutely everything, they barely make any noise. So if your kids are French, I think any hotel would be appropriate. If your kids are like ours (boisterous, bouncy, rambunctious) I'd probably wouldn't recommend this as a family-friendly hotel even though there were other kids here.

Attn. Mrs Stephanie Gombert||Dear Stephanie||My wife and I stayed with you from the 22nd to the 25th August on our way back from the South of Spain to the UK. We like to have a slow journey back stopping off at nice hotels and chateau’s along the way. Its our annual adult road trip!||We would both like to say, that our stay at the Chateau de La Treyne, was the best and most memorable of our journey to and back from Spain. Thats from a total of 9 hotels/chateau’s..!||We loved the chateau itself, the location/setting, the region and the room. Most memorable was the two dinners we had in the evenings in your lovely restaurant on the terrace. Superb food, the best in our whole month away and fabulous service! Our waiter, who’s name I cannot recall, was 10/10. Polite, efficient and engaging. Maybe it was Alexis or Thomas.||We had a minor blip on our first mornings breakfast, but this was soon resolved through your lovely reception lady, one in particular (Annabelle) and your personal assistant. Again, sorry I cannot remember everyone’s names.|| Once again, a big thank you to ALL of your staff who made our stay at your chateau quite memorable.😊|| 100% we will return!||Best wishes|| John Knowles

This was a nostalgic and life landmark revisit trip from our original honeymoon stay over 20 years ago. We've always wanted to return and it was, once again, a real pleasure. Every room in the Chateaux is beautifully and individually decorated to a superb standard with sumptuous colour and decor. The weather was not on our side so we did not get to enjoy the pool, but the gardens were as lovely as we remembered. We dined at the restaurant in the evening with one of the best table views we've ever had looking directly over the Dordogne whilst the swallows played in the setting sun - truly magical. The food, wine, staff and the service was superb from start to finish. We look forward to returning very soon.

Excellent hotel, deserving of its reputation. Very kind and friendly staff, stunningly beautiful property, and very tasty food. The grounds on the property are massive, and they light them up in the evenings, very nice to walk around. The only caveat is its a bit out of the way from the attractions in the area. It seems like they target guests who primarily want to relax at the property and use its amenities, rather than tourists who want to visit the major sites in the region. Something to consider when booking your stay.

Very accommodating and friendly staff. They made sure to start the breakfast service early for us on our departure day because we had an early start. We also had a friendly greeting with the owner.

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
