Au Clos de Mathilde

"The property was marvellous, from security through to comfort. The hosts Olivier and Niena were outstanding with their hospitality and culinary skills. The little touches and attention to detail made the stay extra special. We couldn’t fault this guesthouse, the only problem we had was we wish we had more time at this property to really enjoy what it had to offer. Clos de Mathilde had everything you need and more for a 10 out of 10 stay."

"Nothing perfect"

"Great accommodation perched above Sarlat, the shared kitchen allowed us to self cater on a couple of of occasions. The rooms were spacious and impeccably clean and the pool was great after a day of sight seeing. Ideal base for touring the area. Amazing breakfasts! Merci Beaucoup Olivier!"

"Others have mentioned the steep hill from town, yes it was a challenge after a nice meal and few drinks but well documented and we were aware of the challenge ahead. The location and quality accommodation made the walk worthwhile!"

"Wow this place took our breathe away the minute we stepped through the gate. Everything was stunning and so peaceful. The breakfasts were delicious and the shared kitchen was perfect for preparing light meals when we didn’t want to leave this little slice of heaven. The walk back up the hill from Sarlat is steep but is so worth it when you arrive back especially the beautiful swimming pool to cool you down! We ate here on the Sunday evening and the food was outstanding and better than we had in any of the restaurants we ate in Sarlat! Olivier and Naina were the perfect hosts and we were very sad to leave. 1000% recommend!!"

"Didn’t want to leave"

"This is an exceptional property. Beautifully maintained in a stunning location. Our hosts were welcoming and helpful. Breakfast on the terrace overlooking the swimming pool and Dordogne was heaven."

"Nothing not to like"

"An absolutely stunning place to stay. The property was beautifully presented and the location was lovely, away from the bustle of Sarlat but close enough to walk there for dinner. It is steep on the walk back however so it might not suit everyone but we find that helpful after a lovely meal and a drink or two! Our room was on 2 floors with a very large bathroom at the top of a spiral stone staircase. Excellent breakfast with lots of choices. The hosts are very helpful and attentive. Olivier recommended some restaurants and actually booked the tables for us. We had a lovely swim in the pool which was not heated but warm enough to enjoy even on the 16th October."

"The Booking.com website implied that dinner was available at the property but this was not the case. As it turned out, this didn’t detract from our very enjoyable stay there."

"Wonderful accommodation, good breakfast and great host."

"Aucun."

"Everything 🤣. The location is fabulous (think: rolling hills, ancient trees, manicured gardens, stone statues..). We had a suite with a terrace to take this all in!.. The building is amazing and the rooms were boutique."

"I had to leave 🥹"

"Lovely breakfast served on the terrace. Great location - up from the centre but easy to get to the town and local restaurants. Really beautiful pool. Very hospitable hosts. The room was great and the bed very comfy."

"Cant think of anything!"

"Delightful hosts. Very friendly and helpful. The breakfast each morning was amazing!!!! Homemade jams, breads and croissants. Fresh fruit, yoghurts, cheeses .. .. and the list goes on. The bed was SO comfortable. Our bedroom was within the house but could only be accessed by a separate staircase so felt private. Our bathroom was upstairs and accessed by a spiral staircase within our bedroom. An enormous and luxurious bathroom. Plenty of on site parking. The gardens and pool were beautiful. It would be a perfect place to stay in Summer too. I would thoroughly recommend Au Clos de Matilde."

"A hand held shower head over a large bath which made it difficult to wash hair."

"A perfect place to stay for a trip to Sarlat and surrounding towns. The stunning Clos de Matilde was extremely comfortable, beautifully decorated and spotlessly clean. Attention to detail was second to none. Our room was spacious and light, with a fabulous bed which made for a wonderful night’s sleep. Breakfast each morning was amazing, home cooked extras an added touch. Nothing was too much trouble for Naïna and Olivier. Our hosts were the most wonderful couple, kind, thoughtful, engaging, informative, and great fun! The swimming pool in the gorgeous gardens made for a relaxing end to a day out and about. I recommend Clos de Matilde to any traveller who loves “the best”!"
