The region of the "Périgord noir" at the Dordogne is a lovely place to spend your holidays. If you want to perfect this you have to book at Auberge de La Salvetat! Ann and Steve with their staff have created a place full of warm atmosphere for relaxing holidays. We stayed there for 15 nights for the fourth time (and... More

After our first day of cycling in the Dordogne and after cycling up a steep hill, we arrived at Auberge de La Salvetat for our two-night stay. What a surprise. The location and the gardens are truly beautiful. The rooms were cosy and comfortable, the dinners excellent. Steve and his staff were more than happy to assist with booking cars... More

The Auberge is situated amid the wonderful rolling countryside that you would expect in this area.. We were very warmly greeted by the owners and shown into delightful, spotlessly clean, en suite bedrooms. The food and service were superb and the wines not overpriced. We were lucky to have warm evenings when we could dine out on the terrace which... More

Very pretty and well looked-after place. Terrace and pool overlook rolling countryside. We had a good meal in the restaurant and could hear the amazing sound of stags bellowing in the woods. We stayed in one of the ground floor garden rooms which are comfy and have good-sized bathrooms. The only downside was that the room was a bit dark... More
