Château de Maraval  

Perched in rural Cenac-et-Saint-Julien, Château de Maraval is a spa hotel within walking distance of the village center. You’re a short drive from Domme’s tourist office and the Eglise de Notre Dame de l'Assoption, and about 8 km from Vitrac Beach and the Gardens of Marqueyssac. A peaceful Dordogne base with family-friendly touches.

This small château-style property offers 8 individually decorated rooms with minibars, in-room espresso makers and memory-foam beds topped with premium bedding. Rooms include flat-screen TVs, showers, bathrobes and slippers; bathrooms feature designer toiletries and hair dryers. Expect a relaxed, slightly upscale country vibe with concierge and tour help on hand.

Soak in the spa center — massages, hot tub, sauna, steam bath and solarium — then dip in the seasonal outdoor pool. There’s a library, barbecue area, shared kitchen and a bar/lounge for evening drinks. Free wired and wireless internet is available, free valet parking is onsite, and the tour desk can book local excursions. Wake up to peaceful Dordogne mornings and spa-ready afternoons.

Complimentary wired and wireless internet and luggage storage are available. Private check-in/out and a safe-deposit box add convenience for business or longer stays.

An on-site restaurant serves local cuisine and there’s a bar/lounge for drinks. Buffet breakfast is offered daily from 8:00–10:30 for a fee, with children 12 and under eating breakfast free. Guests can also use the shared kitchen or fire up the barbecue area.
