Le Domaine des Crouquets — Luxury Spa Cabins and Charming Gîtes in Périgord Noir

Nestled in a peaceful valley among walnut trees and truffle groves, Le Domaine des Crouquets offers a refined countryside escape in the heart of Périgord Noir. This restored Périgourdine farmhouse contains stylish gîtes of character, while five hectares of private woodland host two luxurious spa cabins designed for guests who want to reconnect with nature without sacrificing comfort. The setting is ideal for romantic getaways, wellness breaks, and outdoor-adventure weekends. Guests at the Domaine enjoy a wide range of on-site amenities: a heated swimming pool available from April to September (16 m x 6 m), a nine-hole pitch-and-putt golf course with green fees for initiates, a lit pétanque court, football area, table tennis, and an indoor games room with a pool table and table football. For relaxation, each cabin features a private spa space, and couples can book the signature one-hour choreographed duo massage for an unforgettable experience. Adventurous guests can choose off-road buggy excursions — nocturnal 1.5-hour rides, two-hour rides for two, or a buggy tour with a farm tasting stop — and even helicopter flights over the valley of castles for a dramatic aerial perspective. Dining is rooted in the region: local produce is at the core of breakfast deliveries, Périgord menus, and curated platters. Options include a full Périgourdine menu, foie gras specials, regional wine, and champagne. The hosts, Jessica and Guillaume, are discreet yet available to personalize your stay, recommend nearby fermes auberges, or book a table at a starred restaurant minutes from the estate. Practical information: check-in from 17:00 until midnight via a keybox, check-out by 11:00. Bed linen and towels are supplied. Pets are not allowed in the cabins. A local tourist tax applies (0.88 EUR per person per night). Located just 20 minutes from Sarlat and a short drive from iconic sites such as Lascaux, the Gouffre de Padirac, the Eyzies, and the Dordogne river valley, Le Domaine des Crouquets is the perfect base to explore the best of the Périgord while enjoying exceptional comfort and privacy.
