Manoir de Moncé

We loved our stay in the Apartment and highly recommend Manoir de Monce for those looking for a true Dordogne experience. A designer has decorated all the spaces and they are truly beautiful. In addition, she is a great cook so has ensured the kitchens have everything you need to bring home bounty from the local markets and cook up a feast. All the appliances are top quality and in good working order. The pool is lovely, the gardens are lovely and the owners are even more lovely! Thank you Andrea and Wolfgang for the privilege of sharing your slice of heaven! Merci/Danke

A beautifully rural location with views that stretch for miles, this is a proper 'chateau' experience with huge thick walls, big fireplaces, slab flooring, big steps and a wonderful quirky turret room for sleeping in. But we loved that it also has a very good, fully equipped kitchen, modern bathrooms and well-functioning central heating throughout (it was March after all). The owners are friendly and responsive and left us a delicious quiche for our arrival. Riberac is the most useful local town - about 15 minutes drive away. All in all, a lovely stay, even in winter.

What a peaceful place to relax and recharge. Throughout Manoir de Moncé, everything is big, spacious, airy and decorated in muted pastels, the bathrooms were a very high standard, newly renovated, light and bright too. I loved the feature walls, with the stencil motifs that popped up linking them all together. There are vast views with nothing to hear but the sounds of the countryside. I felt myself drawn to look outside and over the fields whilst I was there.

Fabulous hosts and a wonderful relaxing rural location. We shared the property with two other couples that had children of a similar age. Our host made us feel incredibly welcome as soon as we arrived. Welcome drinks on the first night was a great touch and a good way to get to know the other guests. The property is absolutely stunning and decorated to a high standard. It was a wonderful holiday.

We had the most relaxing and peaceful stay at Monce. It is a very special and secluded place to unwind. The apartment was beautifully furnished and very well equipped. The pool area is lovely and the pool is a great size, although quite cold in October! We will definitely be back!
