Magnificent 17th Century Manor House with Heated Pool
Le Manoir Oriental is a magnificent Manor House dating from the 17th century full of character as well as elegance after careful and tasteful renovation. The house formerly belonged to Chateau de Beynac and is located less than 10 minutes drive from Sarlat – the pearl of Dordogne - with its picturesque cobbled-stoned streets, ancient houses and lively Saturday market. Yet, the house is in a quiet country side setting surrounded by its own 10 hectares of land where you can spot both deers and eagles. A wonderful place to relax and an ideal base for exploring the Dordogne and Vézère Valleys.
The spacious house can accommodate up to 14 people and is exquisitely furnished throughout with Asian antique furniture and arts and crafts which presents a fascinating mixture of rustic country side atmosphere and sophisticated luxury. There is a large heated swimming pool on the grounds, measuring 12 x 6 m, and plenty of nice hardwood garden furniture and sun loungers from which to enjoy the beautiful pool area.
- There is a large salon/living room - (100 sqaure metres) with wooden beamed ceiling and two grand open stone fireplaces – one at each end of the room. The room has three comfortable sitting groups and a piano which is at the musical guests' disposal.
An oak staircase will take you to the upper floor where you will find three bedrooms, all with beamed ceilings:
- Arabian nights - a bedroom in yellow and gold that features a double bed (180 cm), a sitting group and stairs leading up to the spacious bathroom with an antique toilet-table and its own Jacuzzi.
- The Pink Pasha's Retreat - a cozy French country style room in pastel colours with a 140 cm double bed, its own WC and shower cabin.
- The Dream of the Red Mansion - a stylish bedroom decorated with Chinese antique furniture and arts and crafts with a double bed (180 cm) and a spacious bathroom with WC, bathtub, and two basins and lovely views over the grounds.
If you instead take the teak staircase down from the living room you end up in:
- The billiards room - which features an art gallery with Vietnamese oil-paintings, a full-size pool table and a darts board. Here you will also find bedroom 4.
- The Bedouin's Bungalow -a spacious, cozy bedroom with two twin beds (100 cm each) and a large Chinese antique sofa that can be made into a third canopy-style bed. The room has its own WC and bathtub and its own entrance from the garden.
If you turn left as you enter the house's entree, you will come into:
- The dining room - which has a beamed ceiling, a large open stone fire place and a rustic wooden dining table that can seat 12 people. This room has windows and doors on each side, one leading out to a large barbecue terrace where you can catch the afternoon and evening sun. The dining room also has doors leading to the kitchen.
- A large country style kitchen - with all modern equipment: gas stove that also has an electric heating plate, electric oven, microwave oven, two dish washers, fridge and freezer with ice-making machine and plenty of 'workspace' to prepare and cook the delicacies of the region.
From the dining room there is also a stair taking you to two more bedrooms:
- The Jade Palace - in gentle green colours, beamed ceiling, a 160cm double canopy bed and a spacious bathroom in what is the 'tower' of the manor. The bathroom has hand painted wash basins and WC and features its own Jacuzzi.
- Ming Dynasty - a bedroom in light blue tones with 2 single beds (120cm and 100cm) decorated with blue and white China, antique paintings and a bathroom with its own bathtub and hand-painted wash basin and WC.
If you go through the dining room and past the kitchen you will enter the private suite called
- The Sultan's Suite - The Sultan's Suite consists of a private library style salon with a sit-group, TV with satellite, and an open fireplace. The bedroom has a 160 cm Spanish four poster double bed, country style Laura Ashley wall paper and a spacious bathroom with a large bathtub, separate WC and walk-in wardrobe. Behind the Sultan's suite there is
- A laundry room - with washing machine and dryer.
Just a 5 min drive from Sarlat Village and still in a very quiet rural location. Sarlat has a wonderful Saturday market, plenty of great restaurants and local shops to sample the specialties of the region. It is a great base for exploring all the market towns around Dordogne of which Sarlat is considered "the gem".
Dordogne and Vézère Valleys: The valleys around the Dordogne and Vézère rivers is a paradise for visitors of all kinds: it is a haven for culture lovers as the valleys are dotted with hilltop castles and pre-historic caves. Gourmands love it too since Perigord has some of the finest dining and wining in France and also there is plenty to do for those of you enjoying an active holiday with canoeing, kayaking, fishing, rock climbing, horse riding or cycling. For the nature lover, the amazing scenery from the top of a hill, the intensity of the greenery and the and the picturesque stone houses along the curvy country roads will capture your heat at first glance.
Towns and Villages
- Sarlat (4 kms) - Nestling in a small valley between the Dordogne and Vezere rivers, Sarlat is considered the "gem" of Dordogne with its amazingly beautiful golden-stone houses and ancient roofs along its medieval, cobbled stone streets. Sarlat is the European town offering the greatest number of Historical Monuments per square kilometre and has often been used for film settings. In additional to its cultural heritage, this part of Perigord offers among the finest gastronomy in France. Boutiques are filled with truffle, foie gras (goose liver), confits de Canard, pates and other delicatessen. A good time to sample the tastes and smells of these famous produce of the region is on its lively Saturday market where you can also buy other items from the region such as handicraft, textile, antiques or just a souvenir.
- La Roque-Gageac (15 kms) - Huddled beneath a towering gray cliff, this village of tan stone houses, is just on the right bank of one of the hairpin curves in the Dordogne River. It is one of the best-restored villages in the Dordogne Valley and is very popular with artists trying to catch its beauty. Crafts shops line its low, narrow streets, dominated by the outlines of the 19th-century mock-medieval Chateau de Malartrie and the Manoir de Tarde, with its cylincrical turret. You will also find a number of cave dwellings knows as the Fort Troglodyte.
- Beynac (11 kms) - Beynac is most famous for its impressive Château that you can see already from afar as it is located high on the top of a cliff above the Dordogne river. This was once one of the greatest Perigord strongholds, dominating a strategic bend in the Dordogne and rivaling the fortress at Castelnaud on the other bank of the river. In the village, there is a small folklore museum and, behind the castle, an open-air "Parc Archaelolgique" containing a series of reconstructed Neolithic dwellings and tools. Also, the neighbouring hilltop hamlet of Cazenac is worth a visit for its Gothic church and exceptional views.
- Domme (14 kms) - Set on a steep promontory high above the Dordogne River, the trapezoid-shaped walled village of Domme is one of the few bastides to have retained most of its 13th century ramparts, including three fortified gates. There is a stunning panorama of the Dordogne River from the cliff-side 'Esplanade du Belvedere' and the adjacent 'Promenade de la Barre', which stretches west along the forested slope to the 'Jardin Public'. There is also a Musem (Musée d'Arts et Traditions Populairs) which has nine room of clothing, toys, tools etc from the past. Just west of Domme is the village of Cénac which offers a number of outdoor activities such as year-round canoe and kayak trips and rent of bicycles.
- Les Eyzies-de-Tayac (16 km) - This is the centre of the area where many signs of prehistoric man have been discovered. A number of excavated caves and grottoes, some with wall paintings, are open for public viewing. At the Musee Nationale de Prehistoire, you can examine many artifacts and get ideas about excavation sights to visit in the region. 10 km away is Chateau de Camarque which is situated in a picturesque valley.
- Bergerac (60 km) - Bergerac is a quiet town with ancient half-timber houses and narrow alleys. Famous for its wine you can find many wine shops in town offering free tasting and you can also find many vineyards around Bergerac that would welcome you to taste their wine and show you around their facilities. Not only are there vineyards in the region, but there are also tobacco plantations. You can learn more about this local industry at Musee du Tabac.

After a two year delay ( due to Covid), we finally made our way to this beautiful manor house. 14 adults. It is a beautifully decorated home with LOTS of room for the group to spread out. Every bedroom had its own bath . The kitchen is well stocked for making meals and serving easy...Having 2 dishwashers was a bonus. The swimming pool was a perfect draw for our group after a day of sightseeing..to cool off, share a glass of wine and chat about our day. Christina, the owner has been more than lovely and beyond fair with me, as we faced delays for our trip/rental. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this rental!!! There were a couple of matters to consider if you rent this place for a large group using all of the bedrooms... One charming bedroom was very small, the couple using it were not happy because of the size of room...if a child is to use the room, it is perfect. One other room has a double and single bed, which might be helpful for a family....this was the plainest bedroom while all of the others are so charming. Lighting is dim making it hard at night to read or see well.Guest rating:
The villa was simply stunning. As we drove in down the track through the trees to get our first glimpse of the property, my wife and I both gasped in delight. We were met by Michelle who showed us all the amenities and gave us a brief tour of the property. We used this as a base for a cycling holiday and it proved to be an outstanding choice with stunning towns and villages not far away. The kitchen was very well stocked and having 2 dishwashers was perfect. The house provided everyone enough space so that if anyone wanted some personal time there was always somewhere to go. We thoroughly enjoyed eating out on the terrace each evening. All our friends provided positive feedback and it’s certainly very high on the list of holiday destinations that I’ve experienced.Guest rating:
