In the heart of ‘foie gras’ country on the sleepy banks of the Dordogne, Manoir de Bellerive is a 19th century manor house set in 10 acres of pretty wooded parkland with a Michelin-starred restaurant and a welcoming ambience.

Outside, you will discover parkland and trees and the slow winding river, perfect for summer boating and riverside picnics. Inside, everything is distinctly elegant with a country-house motif and pretty rooms and suites with river or garden views. The ambience is one of extreme relaxation and the peaceful library is perfect for reflective moments.

Sit by the pool with the sound of the river in the background. Make the most of your stay and opt for a cookery class using regional ingredients such as foie gras, ceps mushrooms and truffles. Visit the nearby Maxange Caves with their unique crystal formations or the nearby Château de Lanquais. Return for dinner in ‘Les Délices d’Hortense’ and experience the amazing degustation menu.

Manoir de Bellerive and its orangery sit in the middle of a great park by the river which can be seen from the elegant canopied terrace. The hotel's 21 bedrooms and suites have the comforts of a private house with the amenities of a luxury hotel, including a luxurious spa. Guests can enjoy the artistry of Jean Emmanuel Christ, the Chef de Cuisine, or participate in a cookery school where the secrets of the Perigord region's cuisine are revealed. Manoir de Bellerive also provides helpful programs on how best to discover places of interest around Le Buisson de Cadouin.
