Luxury Spacious Gites in Tourtoirac, Dordogne - The Magnolia & The Chapel Reviews

Wow! From the moment we arrived we were blown away by the how breathtaking Domaine de Pragelier is, from the serenity and calmness, attention to detail, sublime decor, to the warm welcome and most perfect hospitality from Mark and Frederique. Every morning we were greeted with a delicious homemade breakfast, a fabulous start to each day. We stayed in the Petronille, a perfect room to unwind and recharge within gorgeous peaceful surroundings and gardens with a serene pool, all so very special. A truly stunning home making a memorable stay. We can't wait to return!

We feel very lucky to have found Domaine de Pragelier on our first visit to the Dordogne. We stayed in the enchanting La Chapelle gîte nestled in a quiet corner of the gardens; it was peaceful, practical and beautifully styled with elegant, rustic charm. Opening the centuries-old door each morning to greet the cool morning air and summer light was quite literally heavenly. Our hosts, Frédérique & Mark were equally as wonderful - warm, friendly and enthusiastic to share their knowledge and love of the area and all it has to offer.

We have just returned from the most amazing stay at Domaine de Pragelier. The gite La Chapelle is a little piece of heaven on earth with its tucked away position! Beautifully & tastefully furnished! Frédérique & Mark are such helpful hosts, recommending places to visit & to eat. Hopefully we will be able to return! Sue & Keith Cockayne

I have stayed in many gites over many years but this topped them all. The accommodation is very tastefully furnished with everything you need in peaceful gardens and courtyard and a beautiful pool. The area is fabulous with rolling countryside, picturesque small towns, local restaurants, chateaux, gardens and of course the wonderful weekly French markets. Frederique and Mark have created somewhere really exceptional and I thank them for their kindness and friendliness.

Wow Wow Wow! Heaven on earth ❤️ Frederick & Mark are wonderful! The place is so beautiful and the rooms exquisite 😍 We will be back xx

So happy we found Domaine de Pragelier! A beautiful place to spend a week in a glorious part of France. The property has been lovingly restored by owners, Frederique & Mark, the rooms are even better than the website pictures! We stayed in 'The Cottage', felt instantly relaxed and at peace, a genuinely tranquil setting. Frederique has amazing attention to detail, thinking of everything for a perfect stay. We're very grateful for the tips on places to visit, where to eat and where to shop, really made the trip! HUGE thanks to Frederique & Mark for their hospitality (particularly the shopping!)

Our stay at Fredérique and Mark’s property exceeded our high expectations. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed. Every nook and cranny has been beautifully and sympathetically restored, transforming the ancient house and barns into individual, exquisitely designed and furnished rooms and cottages plus a stand alone self-catering gite. Each detail has been thoughtfully considered, including a charming communal kitchen and a sumptuous breakfast that all adds to the experience. After only two days, we left feeling like kindred spirits, having found new friends. We will be back.

Thank you Frederique and Mark for the warm welcome to your beautiful home. Frederique gave us excellent breakfasts with lots of homemade jams and cakes. Also her knowledge of local restaurants was excellent! A lovely peaceful place to relax and enjoy this beautiful part of France, with so many excellent places to visit.

The buildings, clustered amiably around gravelled and gardened spaces, held the seduction of the Dordogne in every soft and mellow stone. Fred and Mark combine immense hospitality with discretion and easy-going humour. The interiors are a fine balance of elegance and simplicity. There is nothing lacking; everything available. It is, simply, all very beautiful.

A stunning location in the unspoilt Dordogne countryside near a typical French village, which you can access via a walk the through nearby woods. The house is exquisitely and tastefully furnished, with a comfortable large bed and excellent shower and a lovely terrace overlooking the garden. Mark and Frederique are welcoming hosts and could not have been more helpful but were never intrusive. Breakfast was superb including freshly picked fruit salad and squeezed juice, bread and freshly baked scones and cakes. We highly recommend staying here and hope to return soon.
