“Wonderful location on the Dordogne river. The breakfast was excellent, as was the dinner Fabienne and Frederic made for us (all local restaurants closed due to Covid). Vieille Chapelle is a working winery and the wines were excellent. Ours was just a one night stay but we would definitely go back and spend more time there.” Read more

“A wonderful stay, in all aspects. The owners are excellent hosts, and look after their guests with attention, despite having a 21 hectare vineyard to manage. Great views, piece and quiet, first-class wine - simply superb! I would rate it 6* if possible.” Read more

“High quality layout and decoration of private and public rooms in a 12th century set of buildings. Know lb. Edgeable hosts.”

“Breakfast was delightful, the chateau was a great place to recover from jet lag and a great base from which to visit the wineries. It was great to taste the wines created on site.”

“Breakfast was lovely and generous. Rooms spacious and beautiful. Staff friendly, English fluent and helpful.”

“This is located within an active wine vineyard. The rooms are top quality. We had two bedrooms, each with an en-suite bathroom, and a private living area between the two bedrooms. Do not expect a "castle". In France, a Chateau is a "castle", but when talking about a vineyard, "Chateau" means the seat or the main building of the vineyard. That being said, the main building is a beautiful church that is hundreds of years old, and which has been converted into the breakfast area. It is also where the owner and winemaker can give you a presentation on the vineyard, the history of the property, and provide a wine-tasting.” Read more

“We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Chateau. Frederic and Fabienne were wonderful hosts and made us feel like part of their family and were quite accommodating. We felt like we were staying in our own home. The location right on the river was picturesque and made for wonderful pictures and the entire property was beautiful. We enjoyed the breakfasts which were traditional and delicious. We would definitely recommend it to others!” Read more

“Beautiful setting on the Dardonne river surrounded by vineyards and great hosts”

“A beautiful, laidback place. The host made things easy with his great English. Nice walks around the property. The wine tasting was very informative, and we enjoyed the Merlot at our tasty dinners, that were available. Enjoyed sitting outside for the dinner at the one table with some of the other guests. Got to see The Mascaret, twice.” Read more

“Chateau de la Vieille Chapelle stands on the bank of the River Dordogne, surrounded by trees and vineyards. Peaceful, tranquil, idyllic. Beautiful old buildings have been superbly restored. Room was very comfortable and tastefully decorated with a great shower. Tea making facilities were provided in sitting next door. Excellent breakfast including fresh fruit salad, croissants, bread, tea, coffee etc with plenty more on offer. As the main business of the Chateau is to produce wine, it seemed logical to taste a few. And every one was excellent. Famille Mallier took very good care of us for the one night we stayed. Hopefully we'll pass that way again next year, but for a slightly longer time!” Read more
