MANOIR DE LA MALARTRIE

The rooms, the location, the gardens and terraces, the host, and the breakfasts at the Manoir de la Malatrie were beyond our expectations. Our entire time spent here was fantastic. Having our wine and cheese each evening on a terrace overlooking the river and the river valley was an amazing end to each day. Ouafaa is truly a lovely host who cares about her guests and her beautiful guest home.

This is a converted chateau located on the Dordogne River in Vezac. It has old world charm with all the modern conveniences. Each room is different, so it is hard to make comparisons. The room we had was very spacious with a balcony overlooking the river. It had a fabulous bathroom with shower and tub. The owner was extremely gracious and cordial and prepared the most spectacular breakfasts.

After a few days in the bustling city of Bordeaux, Manoir De La Malartrie felt like stepping into paradise. Nestled quietly on the banks of the Dordogne River, with spectacular cliffs rising above it, this place offers serenity like no other.

The gardens are breathtaking, and the views are simply stunning. The rooms are spacious with beautifully preserved historical features, creating a perfect blend of elegance and comfort. What really makes this place special, though, are the hosts, Ouafaa and Daniel—a lovely couple whose kindness and warmth make every guest feel truly welcome.

Ouafaa seems to be tirelessly working seven days a week, yet she always greets guests with a calm, joyful demeanor and a beautiful smile. During our stay, we saw her cutting fresh dahlias to decorate the rooms and breakfast tables, and roasting bell peppers in the garden for her homemade harissa. The entire setting, paired with her energy and kindness, is exactly what you’d imagine in a perfect idyll.

On our arrival day, the sun came out, and I casually mentioned how tempting the outdoor pool looked. Even though it had been turned off for the season, they immediately put out towels and started warming the pool—a gesture that truly embodies their level of care and attentiveness. They also hosted aperitif gatherings for guests to meet and exchange travel tips, with delicious food and wine to enjoy.

Just two hours into our stay, my mother turned to me and asked if we could extend our stay by a day—and luckily, we were able to! It was the best decision we made. The location is perfect for activities, with the boat ride, Marqueyssac Gardens, and great restaurants all within walking distance.

I truly can’t say enough about how wonderful Manoir De La Malartrie and its hosts are. Every detail, from the warm hospitality to the beautiful surroundings, made this stay unforgettable. We will absolutely return, and I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a peaceful, charming getaway in the Dordogne Valley.

It was amazing and I would come back just for breakfast, but it was so much more than that with amazing views and beautiful scenery. We loved the location as well with it close by to all the beautiful towns. The service was amazing as well! Many thanks to Ouafaa!
