Le Château Hôtel Le Stelsia.  We are very lucky to have just across the river, perhaps ten minutes away, the Stelsia.  Which has two restaurants, run by the recognised chef of several prestigious kitchens, Michel Vico who has just received a Michelin star.  They have a friendly atmosphere and local cuisine in its restaurant Le Bistrot which is open daily, brunch every Sunday is from 12 to 3pm. Le Stelsia also includes gourmet cuisine in its Michelin star restaurant, Le Jasmin.

We are fortunate to have many fine places to eat within a very short distance from us.  The most cost effective meals are at lunchtime (by 13.00) you are given a couple of choices for each of the three courses of the menu of the day ‘Menu de Jour’

Le Peyragude is a matter of minutes away in Penne d’Agenais by car or we would walk (uphill) it is one of our favourites; this restaurant offers a regional cuisine. A sunny terrace where you can have lunch, with prices starting from 14€ and also good for evening meals (from about 7pm prices from about 30 €  English and Spanish is also spoken.

Le Patio d'Hauteville again very close by, it has wonderful views  including across to our house and food. Lunch starts from 15 € Evening meals about 30€

Café des Arts is located in the heart of the village, good for lighter and perhaps later lunches; it has a terrace under the arcades where you can lunch. Specialties pancakes, salads and ice-creams.

During the summer months there are, in the evening, many food markets ‘Marché gourmand’ Tables and chairs are provided, the locals often bring cutlery, plates, glasses and even their own table cloth although these are not necessary.  You can choose from the various stalls all sorts of food and delicacies, from snacks, to main meals and wine at very reasonable prices.  They can include duck, grilled meats, fresh plates, mussels fries, cheeses, pastries, chicken, pizzas, paella, snails ... our guests have often enjoyed these evenings including the music, atmosphere and for some the chance to practice their French and try something different.  Some of the best ones are a matter of minutes away at Tournon d’Agenais, Dausse, Pujols and  Port de Penne

These are but a very few of the many options for eating in our immediate area, guests have explored and enjoyed many more that cover a variety of tastes.

www.domainedefrance.com is on the edge of Penne d’Agenais is a wonderful place to unwind with a book, by the pool or in our large ‘parkland’ grounds. 

The area is a great place to explore this part of France by Car, on foot or by bike on the many designated routes.    
There are many interesting Bastide towns with ancient buildings, arches and peaks, cobblestone lanes, narrow winding passages with charming character to explore.  There are  also many Châteaux to visit, including the well preserved
Château de Bonaguil.


The vinyards of Cahors (wine) are about twenty five minutes away if you wish to visit.

There are many markets for the wonderful fresh produce including melons and so many varieties of tomatoes.  We are fortunate to have one of the largest markets at Monsempron-Libos. 

If you are thinking of visiting this spring or summer please do not hesitate to contact us. 
At the moment we still have some space at Easter and some space in the summer.

We can accommodate from two to fifteen.
