Le Mont-d’Onel
The Château
Overlooking the historic village of Couze-et-Saint-Front and the Dordogne River, the estate encompasses 19 en-suite bedrooms spread across the main château and 5 two bedroom self contained cottages. Onsite activities include indoor and outdoor swimming pools, pétanque, croquet, tennis, pickleball and many kilometres of nature trails that can be enjoyed across the estate’s 80+ acres. Nearby, you will find more exceptional trails and quiet roads for world class hiking and cycling through picturesque country villages.
The Region
Le Mont-d’Onel is located in the Périgord region of southwest France. The area is best known for some of the most magical villages in Europe, world class markets, wineries and an abundance of Michelin rated restaurants that seasonally feature the famous Périgord winter truffle. While Parisians journey to the Dordogne for it’s famous cuisine in idyllic rural settings, the area largely remains a ‘hidden gem’ internationally.
History
With the current château dating back to 1350 CE, Le Mont-d’Onel has long occupied a strategically important site on the Dordogne; historic artifacts found on site suggest continuous inhabitation for the last 30,000 years. Le Mont-d’Onel has undoubtably played an important role in local and regional history.
