We were seated by the window overlooking the Dordogne as requested in my e-mail and so the setting was superb. Our dinner was very good and beautifully presented. We started with an aperitif of champagne, followed by an amuse bouche of cold melon-cucumber soup. Husband had a foie gras in filo with lentil salad and roast veal; I had salmon... more

I didn't think we'd be able to afford to stay here, but I nipped in and asked on the off-chance. We spent three nights here, and would thoroughly recommend it. The rooms may be a little basic, but they're clean, the service was excellent and the restaurant is amazing (if you're a foodie type). Wonderful! more

We booked the lovely studio and were glad we did. The staff, the setting, the food (formidable) and the atmosphere were all excellent. Unusual fact: of the 8 lodgings that we stayed at on this trip, this was one of the only restaurants capable of keeping flies out of the dining room---why can't the others? In some other eateries, I... more

The Hotel La Belle Etoile is in one of the most idyllic places we've been - every view of La Roque-Gageac looks like a postcard. The hotel is found at the base of the large cliffs adjacent to the Dordogne, with the tranquil river flowing a stone's throw from the entrance. Although it was hot outside our room remained cool,... more

We chose this hotel because of the location and the reputation of its restaurant. I was a little nervous that it might not be that nice due to the low rate. I was wrong. It was perfectly nice and a great deal for the money. Was it a relais and chateau, no? It was simply a nice little place to... more

Just returned from a wonderful trip to Dordogne Valley. Stayed 4 nights at Hotel La Belle Etoile and it was great. Very clean, owners/hosts very hospitable, and the location enabled us to take day trips to visit all the caves, castles, and other points of interests we wanted to. Very picturesque. Have no major complaints about this facility; it met... more

In a month of motoring around Europe, this was our most expensive B&B and also the most disappointing. From our attic room we could clearly hear other guests using their toilets--not good enough at this price level! Decor of room and corridors was on the shabby side. The deficiency of the accommodation should not be overlooked or excused because of... more

As lovely as the hotel appears in all the photos on the internet, the real beauty lies in the warmth and friendliness of the staff, and the incredibly delicious meals served up by the kitchen (a destination for many of the residents of the surrounding area). Our rooms were as plain as the low price might suggest, yet they were... more

Great, super! Voila un petit hotel 2 etoiles au bord de la Dordogne et de maisons troglodithes avec une vue... more
