Romantic Retreats has gone global. Well, so far we have we made it to France. And you have to admit, that’s not a bad place to start. It has all the ingredients for a perfect romantic getaway or holiday; great food, wine, sunshine and some excellent transport links from the UK. So you can even nip across to one of our boutique holiday cottages or romantic hotels in France for the weekend…
We think the Dordogne region of France is one of the most romantic places in the world. With castles, rivers, forests and fine wines around every corner, this sunny spot is a haven for fans of luxurious living. And, for those couples looking for a holiday to remember, we recommend the beautiful Château les Merles. This stylish and modern four star hotel is top notch.
The South of France is pretty irresistible if you are a fan of relaxed living, fine food and some easy going sunshine. That’s partly why we are sure The Gatehouse will be popular – its location, on the side of a country lake, in the beautiful châteaux-peppered region of Dordogne, makes it ideal for romantic couples. And then, there are a few other things we think you will like about this retreat too…
Nestled between trees, in the grounds of a French castle, the charming Pigeonnier is a two storey haven, with wooden beams and original features, and views over the valley. The owners have lovingly designed the interior as a real getaway spot for romantics, and it’s in a great location too, situated in the beautiful countryside of Montignac-de-Lauzun, between Toulouse and Bordeaux.
