5 Room Bed and Breakfast in Dordogne, Near Sarlat, Périgord Noir Reviews

We spent 2 nights at Les Hauts De Saint Vincent in July and absolutely loved our stay!
We felt that Stephanie and Fabrice had really thought about every little detail. Our room was large, stylish and very comfortable and it was lovely to be able to have a coffee in the room first thing, watching the hot air balloons fly past our window. Its a lovely memory we have.
Stephanie was so helpful and made our stay exceptionally comfortable.
The breakfast was plentiful and delicious!

We definitely look forward to returning and would highly recommend a stay at Les Hauts De Saint Vincent.

Upon arrival we were given a warm welcome by Stéphanie as we took in the beauty of our surroundings. The stone house is so beautiful from the outside but even more so on the inside. Fabrice and Stéphanie have created a stylish house filled with mid-century furniture, many books and even a record player; no sign of a tv anywhere! In the communal areas we were able to relax with free tea and coffee or reasonably-priced alcoholic drinks.

Our stone bedroom was very pretty and we also loved the tiles on the floors and bathroom walls. The bath and sink are reclaimed and all the toiletries are eco-friendly. A comfortable bed and Nespresso machine completed the bedroom experience. As the weather was poor during our stay we didn’t use the pool but I wish we had been able to sit around it or take a dip.

Breakfast was delicious and provided a chance to speak to other guests, as did the excellent table d’hôtes dinner we had one night. As we were there for four nights, we met several other couples who were all so friendly. I think people who come to this family-run hotel are sociable types.

Another impressive thing about les Hauts de Saint Vincent is its green credentials. It holds a Green Key certificate for eco-tourism and sustainability; indeed, while we were there an inspector came to look at the home-made and locally-sourced produce among other criteria. Stéphanie and Fabrice take this very seriously.

As you can tell, we loved staying there and enjoyed our hosts’ beautiful house and warm company too.

We stayed for 4 nights and would have stayed longer if there had been availability. It was a good choice. The house has been beautifully renovated to a high standard and our room was light and spacious with a lovely view. The dining room is spacious (with more splendid views) and tea and coffee are available throughout the day. The sitting room has lots of seating, books to browse and an honesty bar. It’s really nice to have somewhere to relax, especially if the weather isn’t great. We had as many dinners as we could book and wished we could have eaten in every evening. The food and wine were excellent. The location could not be better, with many places to visit nearby and the possibility of walks. Stephanie had many helpful suggestions of where to go and good local restaurants.
We have stayed in many Maison d’Hotes and this is one of the very best. Highly recommended.

Great hospitality in a wonderful setting
This is a wonderful old Périgord farmhouse with glorious views from its position above the Dordogne river valley. It has been sympathetically and lovingly restored by its enthusiastic owners and makes an excellent base for exploring this delightful part of France. Rooms are stylishly and inventively decorated with splashes of vibrant colour against the old stone walls. Stephanie is a lively and welcoming host, full of helpful suggestions for places to visit. Les Milandes, which we could see from our bedroom window, will tell you the fascinating story of American-born Josephine Baker and Commarque, in its remote and peaceful setting, conveys a marvellous sense of timelessness. She will guide you, too, to some of their favourite places to eat – we loved the simplicity of Les Courtines in Roque-Gageac where you can watch hot air balloons drift along the river. Breakfasts at Les Hauts are delicious with a range of home-made jams, fresh pastries, juices and refreshing fruit cups. Stephanie also prepares an excellent dinner on three evenings a week when she and Fabrice join their guests to enjoy the meal together.
Thank you both for sharing your home with us and for making our stay so memorable

Magical Perigord
We have just returned home from our first magical visit to the Perigord where we stayed with Stephanie and Fabrice (and Cannelle!). It exceeded our expectations in every way–the location, food, camaraderie, and balloon ride were all a dream come true. The house is quiet and peaceful, yet within an easy drive of the caves and chateaus in the region. We look forward to returning in the coming years. Highly recommended.
