Immerse yourself in the rural heart of France and soak in the delights of the incredible Périgord Noir, the southwest area of the charming Dordogne region, discover its magical prehistoric caves, feast on the mouth-watering local cuisine, visit quaint markets, wander ancient castles and fool around on the Dordogne River. A stay at the idyllic, five-star 19th-century surroundings of Domaine de Rochebois and Spa Nuxe will offer a sumptuous and faultless escape with spectacular panoramic valley views, extensive lush gardens, and a welcoming atmosphere - you couldn't ask for more.
There is a good reason why the Dordogne region of France is so well loved - it's simply stunning and offers an idyllic rural escape that's perfect when you want to recharge your batteries, and as any retreat in the French countryside must, of course, feature a stay in a grand historic manor, and the five-star Domaine de Rochebois and Spa Nuxe ticks all the boxes - this breathtaking 19th-century private estate has been meticulously renovated and offers sumptuous luxury.
With forty exquisitely designed rooms and suites, the hotel boasts a sweeping grand exterior balanced with chic boutique country guesthouse décor. Spend time wandering the extensive English-style manicured gardens or take a dip in the pretty infinity pool overlooking the spectacular lush green valley, and if that wasn't relaxing enough, head to the calming 400 m² Nuxe Spa and embrace the soothing and pampering menu of treatments, or you can even have a game of golf.
No trip to France would be complete without indulging in the renowned local gastronomy, and the hotel offers several fantastic options. Dine at Le M gourmet restaurant with its unique and refined cuisine crafted from local produce, or try the more casual atmosphere of Le Wedge, a brasserie serving bistro fare on its shaded terrace and, for a delicious cocktail with breathtaking panoramic views, there's nowhere better than the 360 rooftop terrace.
Whilst you could easily spend your time sweeping around the estate in a haze of relaxation, there's so much to explore in the region, and having access to a car guarantees you can make the most of it all. Take a short drive to the charming medieval town of Sarlat, the picturesque village of La Roque-Gageac, or within thirty minutes, you'll also discover the Lascaux caves with their ancient cave paintings.
