“What if coming to Castelwood was not just renting a cottage or safari tent in the forest?
And if you really meet her, nature?
That’s what we offer, with a vacation tailored around walking.”
Holidays with a hiking theme
Since the time we’ve lived in the Dordogne, we know the region well. We discovered many hiking trails, mixing nature, bastides, forest and streams. We will guide you according to your desires and your possibilities and share with you our enthusiasm for the nature, the fauna and flora.
Hiking tours around the domain
You will find hiking trails at the foot of your rental or at a few kilometers.
We know many other circuits: the region is full of surprises! We will be happy to share them with you. We have
also designed a program to make you discover every day a new area: 18 kms of walking on average every day, fairly flat and moderate efforts.
A holiday village of chalets, a swimming pool in the center
The pool is accessible for all guests of the cottages. Thus, you preserve your independence while find the other guests at the edge of the water.
Deckchairs and parasols will give you beautiful moments of relaxation.
That’s what makes your holiday: do nothing, and enjoy. And for your peace of mind, there are toilets nearby.
