Summary

Location

Domaine des Etangs resides deep within the beautiful Charente countryside, a tranquil Massignac region some two hours northeast of Bordeaux.

The glistening waters of La Moulde flank the historic hotel, while immaculately manicured gardens enhance the regal view.

Stroll, cycle, or hike through the estate’s 2,500 acres of pristine countryside, or jump on a traditional wooden rowboat to explore the area from the water.

The closest airport is in Limoges, only 45 minutes away by road.

Rooms & Suites

The gorgeous historic estate splits into three stone brick sections—the Château, the Longère, and the Farmhouse Cottages—each offering a distinct style of lodging that caters to every taste.

The Château consists of seven sumptuous suites and spacious rooms, all tastefully decorated with charming antiques and original artwork.

In the Longère, a long thatched-roof building traditional in rural France, four unique guestrooms personify the passing of the seasons, with distinct colour palettes and themed furnishings to match.

The six freestanding Farmhouse Cottages offer optimal exclusivity, with nothing but meandering meadows and curious farm animals as far as the eye can see (Citroën C-Zéro electric cars let you zip to and the estate).

Regardless of which section you choose, every room is unique and combines the elegance of its origins with contemporary interior design.

Pools & Facilities

Le Moulin is the hotel’s tranquil spa, a soothing space that seeks harmony with the seasons and the core elements of earth, air, water, fire and ether.

The picturesque surrounding countryside inspires every treatment, and there’s something on offer to cater to all ages—even children.

Fresh and dried herbs from the garden are infused into rejuvenating concoctions, while ground wheat from the surrounding farmlands serves as a base for exfoliation treatments.

Expect to encounter massages, foot scrubs, facials, hand care, make-up masterclasses, and beautification sessions among the extensive spa menu.

Opt to seek treatment within the soothing stone-clad spa or outside in the gardens with sweeping views of the surrounding countryside.

Food & Drinks

The Dyades restaurant ensures you’ll only dine on fine cuisine throughout your stay.

The terroir of Charente and Limousin inspires a rotating roster of delightful French and fusion dishes, with multiple mouth-watering options on offer to cater to every palette.

The menu evolves daily to reflect the cycle of nature and the changing of the seasons, with fresh produce sourced almost exclusively from nearby farms.

Opt to enjoy your refined gastronomic experience in the charming stone brick restaurant, or have room service whisk it to a scenic alfresco spot.

Dining on cuisine as part of a traditional French picnic is a tantalising experience few guests will ever forget.

Dyades restaurant will be closed on Mondays and Tuesdays. A convivial alternative will be proposed to guests on the days of closure.

Special Info

The Domaine caters to any manner of business or social event, from lively and lavish celebrations to focused professional workshops.

Multiple meeting and seminar rooms lie scattered around the estate, or you can book out the entire hotel for a big exclusive event.

An in-house team of seasoned hospitality experts is on hand to help you plan every detail of your upcoming event.
