Le Petit Manoir

Le Petit Manoir is a boutique hotel in the middle of Sarlat-la-Caneda. I stayed for 4 wonderful nights. The hotel has an enclosed parking lot a few blocks away which is very convenient. I, like others, had a problem finding it, but I parked in a lot, called the front desk and Gail kindly came to get me and show me the parking garage! She then carried my luggage up the stairs for me. Everyone at the front desk was very helpful. The breakfast room is small but good to start the day. When you walk out of the enclosure for the hotel, you are right in the midst of town which is a lovely town. Make sure you are there for market day - such a big market for the size of the town! My room was spacious and I had a balcony and a walk in shower which for me was perfect. The room was clean and the bed comfortable. I was very happy being in the town. I took a small group tour each day to see the other towns. Such a beautiful area.

My husband and I stayed at this hotel for 5 magical nights in the beautiful Etienne de la Boetie room. I loved the room’s decor and the bed was probably the most comfortable bed that I have ever slept in! We also really enjoyed the breakfast in the morning. The baguettes were so fresh and warm and the scrambled eggs were cooked perfectly. The hotel also has a very nice and helpful staff. The hotel’s location was only a few minutes walk from every restaurant that we dined in. We parked in the hotel’s parking garage which can be challenging if you have a large car. Fortunately, there were a couple of roomier spaces that we were lucky enough to get for most of our stay. Sarlat is a very charming town and a great base from which to explore the area. I would definitely stay in this hotel again if I ever return to Sarlat.

This is an oasis in the middle of Sarlat. The hotel is gorgeous with beautiful decor and very historic. We loved learning about the building. The personnel were so lovely. They were extremely welcoming and helpful. In particular, Katiya was so nice. Her breakfast spread was so generous and I loved speaking French with her! She even helped me with a laundry issue :) Natalie who checked us out was so helpful. She told us about a Chateau only 20 minutes away that we had almost missed! We were so grateful for her guidance. She even brought our bags down to the car! A couple of clarifications: there is no elevator so pack wisely! We brought a small bag so that we wouldn’t have too much trouble up the stairs. Also, the parking garage is only a 5 minute walk from the hotel but you need to call and ask where’s the best place to drop your bags before parking. The hotel is in the middle of the pedestrian street so no cars are allowed but it’s only a 5 minute walk to the enclosed and very safe parking garage. This was not a big issue for us. The hotel has such comfortable rooms and linens! We had a very comfortable stay and lots of options for restaurants, coffee and dessert very near by. Can’t wait to go back!

A former 15th century residence, Le Petit Manoir is long on charm but if you're not good with stairs, be sure to book a ground-level room. Our room, The Colette, was reachable only by a spiral staircase that is not for the faint-hearted. The ceiling beams were charming but head-bumping hazards if you're tall. We were traveling without a car and the staff was helpful in booking us taxis (a car would have been handy but we're getting too old to drive in France). Breakfast had lots a variety and great baked goods. The location can't be beat, and I'd imagine in the summer it would be quiet oasis mere footsteps from where the action is. We would recommend this hotel to friends who like historic properties.

Beautifully restored and maintained C15th manor house; perfectly located on the main street, very close to markets and restaurants (aux 3 sens, Coin Coin, L’Entrpote). We had 5 nights in Josephine Baker, just off first floor landing. Spacious, beautifully decorated, lovely outlook, quiet, great storage, desk, seating area, spacious bathroom - everything you could need. Nice breakfast room & small bar area. Valerie & Cecile on the Front Desk could not have been more helpful. Would definitely stay here again - highly recommended.

We stayed 4 nights in the Joephine Baker room. It was very quiet and peaceful in the centre of busy Sarlat. The room was very luxurious and spacious.The buffet breakfasts were lovely and tasty. The staff were all very polite and helpful and spoke English. I believe this is the best place to stay in Sarlat. We had a very enjoyable stay in Sarlat. It was my favourite place we stayed at on our 4 week European holiday.
