Perched atop a cliff overlooking the Dordogne Valley, Château de Rouffillac embodies the elegance and romance of a French fairy tale. Restored in a 19th-century neo-Gothic style, the château retains its historic features while offering exceptional modern comforts.
The estate, which can be entirely privatized for your event, covers 40 hectares of forest, terraced gardens, ramparts, and the ruins of an ancient Romanesque church. You can choose from several reception venues: a ceremony in the carved library, a dinner under the vaults of the main courtyard, or a dance party near the 15-meter stone waterfall.
The château offers nine charming suites, including a royal suite with a luxurious bathroom and panoramic views, comfortably accommodating up to 20 people. The property also features a cliffside swimming pool with endless views, a private spa (hammam, yoga studio, fitness room), and various relaxation areas.
Whether you dream of a wedding enveloped in the poetry of a historic landscape, an intimate ceremony in the gardens, or a festive reception under the stars, Château de Rouffillac offers a unique, authentic, and luxurious setting.

- EElizabeth06/08/2025IncredibleIncredibleI can not find the words to describe how incredible the stay at Chateau Rouffillac was for myself and all my guests. Every detail was considered. From each guest suite to the indoor and outdoor living areas, and the entire property itself. I am personally responsible for all my guests staying at Chateau Rouffillac as I run Awe, The Arts & Wellness Experience. This was our first year (of many going forward) staying at the Chateau and we stayed for 2 weeks. It had been bumped twice due to the pandemic and Cassandra and Kirk could not have been more gracious and helpful throughout the navigating of this situation. They worked with us through the entire process answering all our questions and helping to make the experience the best possible by recommending places to go, things to see and experiences, as well as, sharing their amazing wellness experts, Enrique, Dean, and Laurocia. Before our stay at the Chateau, Cassandra continually sent me all the exciting updates that they were doing to the property. Being fairly new owners at the time, they dedicated their love and passion to making improvements in all aspects of the property all while keeping the true character of the castle. I slept in the Royal Suite and each guest had their own beautifully appointed suite that they fell in love with. If there were any issues (which understandably there will be in a 12th century castle!) they were minimal and attended to right away. For instance, one of the bedroom showers wasn't draining on arrival. This was resolved immediately and certainly cast no reflection of negativity on our stay! Any reasonable person would understand that little things come up like this especially while improvements are continually being made. This is just part of the great charm of a magical property like this. As Kirk so eloquently put "we are simply all guests of the Chateau. It does not belong to us, but rather we belong to it". I think that some people have lost sight of this and have unreasonable expectations thinking that they deserve "perfection" based on their 21st century perception. Though the Chateau is a true 5 star luxury accommodation this is not what the Chateau is about. Chateau Rouffillac is a magical experience filled with incredible energy that all its guests should feel blessed to take a part in. I have attached a few pictures below and I laugh as I did not take many pictures of the inside of the castle. I remember feeling that I did not need to as the pictures on the Chateau Rouffillac website represents them perfectly. I can not recommend more highly that if you are looking to stay in a true fairy tale castle that will transcend you and your guests to a magical place then you should stay at Chateau Rouffillac. I also recommend that you consider what your expectations are before making the decision to stay at Chateau Rouffillac. Chateau Rouffillac deserves only love, patience, and positive energy. Thank you Cassandra, Kirk, and dear Portia for bringing her back to the beauty that she is and for sharing her with all of us.I can not find the words to describe how incredible the stay at Chateau Rouffillac was for myself and all my guests.

- HHannah06/08/2025The entire experience was a fairytaleThe entire experience was a fairytaleThis past summer we hosted our destination wedding at Chateau Rouffillac and the entire experience was a fairytale! We rented both the Chateau and Villa for 28 people. Each room was unique and truly transported our guests to the French countryside while still offering the most upscale amenities like air conditioning. The location was perfect for short trips to Sarlat and other famous medieval villages. We had the wedding trip of our dreams and we know all our guests will remember it forever because of the full experience. I cannot recommend this venue enough and hope to be back in the future! In a country filled with options, Chateau de Rouffillac is truly one of a kind. Thank you to everyone who helped make this such a special trip — we are forever thankful!This past summer we hosted our destination wedding at Chateau Rouffillac and the entire experience was a fairytale!

- SSam06/08/2025My favourite places on EarthMy favourite places on EarthWe stayed at Chateau Rouffillac this weekend, and wow! We stayed last year also, but this year it was even better! There is a new heated pool, with a stunning pool house, and a beautiful area to relax in. Also by the pool was an easy to use sound system, a fridge, and BBQ! Swimming with the views of the forest, valleys, and chateau is so special! Inside it's spectacular! Unlike anything else in the world. Where art and history meet luxury! This place oozes character, grace, and beauty. A remarkable chateau that makes you feel like you're living in a real fairytale. I particularly love the library full of art and old books. We spent a wonderful evening in there as a family playing charades. It's a magical place to connect with family, nature, history, and something bigger! Also, this is the perfect place for families as the pool area also has a shallow pool for young children to swim in. Plus there's a new fun trampoline build into the ground, which our son loved! This is one of my favourite places on Earth. Highly recommend!We stayed at Chateau Rouffillac this weekend, and wow! We stayed last year also, but this year it was even better!

- KKatherine06/08/2025MagicalMagicalWhere does one start to describe a place so magical, words would never provide justice? For weeks we dreamed of what our stay would be like, and being there far surpassed every hope and expectation! Upon arrival all stress seemed to just melt away as our family enjoyed the history of the gorgeous property and took full advantage of all there was to do - the kids especially enjoyed the pool and trampoline while mom and dad enjoyed sipping wine and the unbeatable views! The rooms were all so well appointed and the bathrooms exquisite - unexpected for such a historical chateau. The attention to detail was second to none, and the surrounding area also had more to do than we anticipated! We have recommended to many friends and family and will continue to do so until we can return again! I would give six stars if I could!

- KKate06/08/2025Incredible viewsIncredible viewsWe had the privilege of staying at the Chateau this summer to both relax and for an event and both instances were sublime! First: the chateau is divine! The bedrooms were so spacious (and air conditioned!) with incredible views. The owners did a remarkable job with a gathering that was hosted - somehow managing to make the evening feel both grande and intimate as the crowd enjoyed the splendid grounds, feasted on delicious food and danced under the stars to delightful musicians - no detail over looked. Truly professional - allowing guests to relax and enjoy!We had the privilege of staying at the Chateau this summer to both relax and for an event and both instances were sublime!
