“At first glance, as we turned into the meadow, I knew this was a special place. I will treasure our time here and long remember the beautiful forest walks we had – truly a paradise.”
 JoAn, Raleigh, NC
“Thanks for the perfect combination of country peacefulness and simple but elegant comfort. The place itself and its setting is a balm for the urban soul.”
Ruth, Brooklyn, NY
“Our stay was wonderful. Our pattern was to tour by car in the morning and walk in the afternoon, finishing the day, of course, on the terrace with a good bottle of wine. We dined out and cooked in equally, and I made good use of your herb garden. There was a sense of sadness in leaving, something that is often not the case on a trip. Thank you for creating such a special place.”
Joe, Tuscaloosa, AL
“Despite the fact that ‘sudden prayer makes God jump,’ I couldn’t restrain myself from slinging one heavenward at seeing this lovely place in such a superb setting.”
John, Yorkshire, England
“What a glorious spot in a truly beautiful setting. We have loved our week here filled with excursions to caves, castles and a myriad of towns and hamlets. We’re already discussing how we can return next year”
Dennis, Belvedere, CA
“Every time we came home from our adventures, we felt very smug to be staying here. Never went out to a restaurant. We couldn’t bear leaving the sunsets, the bats and owls show, and the stars.”
Mike & Mary, New York, NY
“Our family had a wonderful week here. It’s so beautiful. We love the honeysuckle with its fragrance and the hummingbird moths that attend it. The stars at night and the meteor showers – inspiring. We saw pheasant, woodpeckers and flycatchers – of course lizards and magpies. I however found the yellow jacket to be quite rude, having spoiled a perfectly good glass of Percharment by swimming in it.”
Stephen, Seattle, WA
“I’m looking out of the window at the cows grazing in the meadow. What a scene! What a place! It meets all expectations - and then some. We had our first meal on the terrace, and it was perfect.”
Sharon & Stuart, McLean, VA
“We have spent 3 weeks in Perigord Noir, seen majestic castles, ruins, enchanted forests, caves, visited old churches, picture postcard villages, countless marchés, eaten cèpes from the woods and fresh eggs from your neighbor, dined in style at the Centennaire and other Michelin starred restaurants, but nothing gave us more pleasure than coming back to Gaurenne, taking a swim, and sitting outdoors to dine.”
Kapi & George, Great Neck, NY
“Our most pleasant stay is reflected in how much we didn’t do. We chose to stay around your most beautiful farm doing as little as possible, the cows in the meadow providing just the right bucolic touch.”
Dick, Santa Fe, NM
“We’ve been here two and a half days and feel totally transported to another world. The house is so comfortable and tastefully done. Everything we might need is here. The Perigord Noir is breathtakingly beautiful and Gaurenne is a jewel.”
Mollie, San Francisco, CA |
