Château les Merles, Gourmet restaurant and hotel in a castle at Mouleydier, France
Château les Merles is a gourmet restaurant and hotel set within a castle in Mouleydier overlooking the Dordogne River. The property contains eleven rooms, two suites, and an apartment, with the dining space occupying part of the historic stone structure.
The castle was built in the 17th century and displays French architectural traditions with classical features. Over time, modern additions have been made to the historic structure while preserving its original character.
The restaurant serves regional French dishes made from ingredients sourced by local producers and vegetables grown in the castle's garden. The kitchen draws from the agricultural traditions of the region, blending seasonal produce with cooking methods passed down through generations.
The property is located about 15 minutes from Bergerac Airport, providing convenient access to regional flight connections. Visitors should note that the location within wine country means the surroundings are filled with vineyards and forest landscapes.
The grounds feature a nine-hole golf course spread across about twenty hectares, woven between the surrounding vineyards and forest. This golf course is an unexpected addition to the castle, allowing guests to enjoy outdoor sports within this historic setting.
