Fodor's Expert Review Domaine de Rochebois

This historic 19th-century manor—the only five-star hotel in the Périgord Noir—is hands down the Dordogne's most extensive luxury resort, offering swimming, a nine-hole golf course, fine dining, and a Nuxe spa. Stylish Roche-Bobois interiors throughout proclaim the wonders of French savoir-faire while the guest rooms (all with magnificent bathrooms) are well-appointed and unusually spacious, many with balconies and jaw-dropping views over the valley. In-hotel dining choices include a stylish bistro, a gastronomic dining room with a Michelin-starred chef, and, in summer, cocktails and "street food" on a wide terrace offering panoramic views. There's also a chic bar for snacks and cocktails.
