  : Staying at la Commanderie is like going back in time 50 years. It is a gorgeous old house with an incredible history. Sadly the ageing owner is very much on her own and finds it hard to get local people to work for her. So, here and there the place is run down and the menu is a bit limited. Having said that, it is really super charming and nice for a couple of days, the hamlet is beautiful, Sarlat is just about half an hour away and beautiful Tessasson is only 10 minutes away.
  : The local diet in the Perigord region is very meaty and traditional places like this are a bit challenging if you do not eat meat. The room is beautiful, old and charming. Everything squeaks, the shower is not perfect, the old wooden floor is slippery etc etc. So, if you want everything sterile and like any big hotel, don't go. If you like character and enjoy the charm, including the stray cats and the donkey calling early in the morning, do book for a couple of days!
