“An excellent base to stay in the region.”
+Everything! The location is just far enough from the historic town without being too close to the crowds and noise. The property itself is very lovely and very well maintained. The hosts are very friendly and helpful and serve a very nice breakfast. Five stars !

“Tranquil, exquisitely comfortable, perfect hosts. What more could you ask for.”
+The property was marvellous, from security through to comfort. The hosts Olivier and Niena were outstanding with their hospitality and culinary skills. The little touches and attention to detail made the stay extra special. We couldn’t fault this guesthouse, the only problem we had was we wish we had more time at this property to really enjoy what it had to offer. Clos de Mathilde had everything you need and more for a 10 out of 10 stay.

“Fantastic place to stay in Sarlat with a wonderful host!”
+This is a magical oasis in Sarlat. It is beautiful and a true gem to find. Olivier was wonderful and in addition to helping give us great advice, he also helped my wife with “French lessons”. We loved it every aspect of it ,especially the breakfast.
−The location is great but if you don’t rent a car (we didn’t and should have), just be prepared for some exercise going to and from the city center! It’s worth the exercise though!

“Ideal base of tranquility for touring the local area.”
+Great accommodation perched above Sarlat, the shared kitchen allowed us to self cater on a couple of of occasions. The rooms were spacious and impeccably clean and the pool was great after a day of sight seeing. Ideal base for touring the area. Amazing breakfasts! Merci Beaucoup Olivier!
−Others have mentioned the steep hill from town, yes it was a challenge after a nice meal and few drinks but well documented and we were aware of the challenge ahead. The location and quality accommodation made the walk worthwhile!

“The French dream”
+Wow this place took our breathe away the minute we stepped through the gate. Everything was stunning and so peaceful. The breakfasts were delicious and the shared kitchen was perfect for preparing light meals when we didn’t want to leave this little slice of heaven. The walk back up the hill from Sarlat is steep but is so worth it when you arrive back especially the beautiful swimming pool to cool you down! We ate here on the Sunday evening and the food was outstanding and better than we had in any of the restaurants we ate in Sarlat! Olivier and Naina were the perfect hosts and we were very sad to leave. 1000% recommend!!

“Exceptional property in a stunning location, lovingly maintained by Olivier and his wife.”
+This is an exceptional property. Beautifully maintained in a stunning location. Our hosts were welcoming and helpful. Breakfast on the terrace overlooking the swimming pool and Dordogne was heaven.

“Just perfect”
+Absolutely everything! From the warm welcome until the minute we said au revoir, everything was perfect. The breakfast was superb, with Olivier making fresh bread and a different pastry every day for us to try, in addition to the fresh fruit, cheeses, yoghurt, hams and cereals that were on offer every morning. I can confirm that his tarte aux pommes was exceptional, and I could have eaten the whole tart by myself! The swimming pool was a terrific bonus during a very hot stay, as was the effective air conditioning in the room. I was also pleasantly surprised by the guest kitchen at the side of the pool, which housed a fridge and dishwasher, and enabled us to keep our market goodies chilled and readily available as we lazed in the sun. Our allocated room was perfect, with a stunning view over the grounds and pool, and I was very impressed with the quality of the bedlinen, robes and towels. The welcome pack of biscuits and sweets was very well received after quite an arduous car journey, which saw us arrive far later than originally planned. Olivier was a fantastic host, giving us lots of recommendations for sightseeing visits and booking restaurants and tours for us. Every restaurant

“Spectacular”
+Everything. My husband and I have traveled extensively abroad and this is one of the best, if not the best, place we have ever stayed. The setting is absolutely beautiful. The rooms are huge with high quality bed linens with a comfy bed. Olivier and Naina served a breakfast rivaling fine restaurants. Everything home made and presented beautifully. Olivier made restaurant bookings for us every evening and each one was excellent. There is a pool in a beautiful setting with a bar next to it where you can purchase and enjoy beer, wine or sodas. The place is pure luxury and Olivier and Naina were a delight to meet.

“Home Away from Home”
+By far one of the best place we have stayed throughout our years of travelling. Both Olivier and Naina were one of the exceptional hosts we have met. They patiently sat us down and explained everything a traveller would like to know. The house is beautiful with the view of rolling hills of Dordogne. Rooms were beautifully decorated, sheets were smooth and bed is comfortable like what you will get from a 5 star hotel. Breakfast was tastefully crafted with lots of homemade jams, pancakes and bread not to mention we had the most delicious pie. We will definitely be back with our family and friends. A true meaning of a Home far away from Home. Thank you for the kind hospitality and a wonderful stay. With love, Kent, Celine and Garon
