Your gateway to authentic French countryside luxury
Manoir La Sainte sits in the south of the beautiful natural region of ‘La Bouriane’, on the border of the departments Lot and Dordogne. Around the property an undulating forest, surrounded by ancient oaks. This very authentic and impressive country house was built in 1802.
Escape to the Heart of France
Next to the Manoir lies gîte La Sentinelle; our beautifully restored holiday cottage which combines centuries-old charm with contemporary luxury, creating the perfect sanctuary for your French getaway.
La Sainte offers discerning travelers an exclusive retreat in one of France’s most enchanting regions.
Nestled in peaceful countryside with view on the village, La Sainte provides an intimate base for exploring historic villages, renowned vineyards, and the timeless beauty of rural France.
At walking distance you’ll find the small village of Frayssinet-le-Gélat with its medieval church and a traditional bakery Au Soleil d’Oc (the best in the region).
Opposite La Sainte, at the little lake ‘le plan d’eau’ lies the open air restaurant Le Plan d’O, a nice place to eat, relax and enjoy yourself. Open every day in summer.
In the middle of the village, facing the church, you’ll find Bar Chez Tatou, where you can also sit down and make your choice of very nice dishes from the menu.
At the little cosy supermarket Au Panier Villageois in the village you can buy lots of things. Next to a wide range of delicious cheeses and wines they also sell local and regional products. Also postcards, stamps and the newspaper are available.
The local Plan d’Eau is ideal for swimming in natural water. There is a small beach and fishing is allowed (permit required).
In short: a great start of your holidays.
In the parking lot you can charge your electric car overnight (paid) at the charging point (3.7 kW).

La Sainte – Where every stay becomes a cherished memory
We werden zeer hartelijk ontvangen in La Sainte. Gabina en Albert waren zo gastvrij en aardig.
We waren er tijdens een hittegolf en hebben enorm genoten van het koele, maar gezellige huis, de comfortabele bedden en het fantastische zwembad!
Ik kan een verblijf hier zeker aanbevelen als je in de buurt bent - en neem zeker een kijkje bij de plaatselijke bakker!
We received a very warm welcome at La Sainte, Gabina & Albert were so welcoming and kind.
We visited in a heatwave and really enjoyed the cool, but cosy home, comfortable beds and amazing swimming pool!
Would highly recommend a stay here if you're in the area - and do check out the local bakery!
