Chateau Trieux

About this property

Beyond a long driveway, Château Trieux rises in quiet splendour amid 3.5 hectares of private parkland, where manicured lawns meet meandering woodland and the gentle murmur of a river carries on the breeze. This beautifully restored château is every inch the classic French country retreat, offering a rare blend of tradition, comfort and understated elegance.

Inside, the atmosphere is warm and familial, with original stone walls, exposed beams, and generous living spaces arranged across three floors. A formal dining room sets the tone for dinners, while the games room with its pool table adds a playful touch. Two separate lounges, one with UK satellite TV, ensure there’s space for everyone to relax. The sleek, modern kitchen is fully equipped for preparing long, leisurely meals, while a practical utility room ensures ease for longer stays.

Five characterful bedrooms and four well-appointed bathrooms offer comfortable accommodation for groups and families, with additional space available on request.

Outside, the lifestyle of the château unfolds: take your morning coffee under the garden pergola, gather for al fresco lunches on the terrace and spend sunny afternoons lounging by the private heated pool or playing tennis on your very own court. A boules pitch invites slow-paced, sociable afternoons, surrounded by birdsong and the rustle of trees.

Château Trieux sits just outside the village of Sauvetat-sur-Lède in the heart of the Lot-et-Garonne, a landscape of rolling sunflower fields and forested hillsides. Only ten minutes away lies Monflanquin, a storied bastide town with cafés, bakeries and weekly markets set among cobbled lanes and panoramic viewpoints. Bergerac, with its medieval centre and celebrated vineyards, is under an hour away and makes an ideal day trip for wine tasting or a boat ride along the Dordogne.

For families and friends seeking timeless charm with modern ease, Château Trieux is a place to reconnect, celebrate and embrace the rhythm of French country life. 

Set amidst 3.5 hectares of open countryside just outside Sauvetat-sur-Lède (1.5km), Château Trieux offers a stunning escape in one of France’s most enchanting regions.

With the rolling hills of the Lot-et-Garonne on your doorstep and the prestigious Dordogne nearby, this is a setting of timeless beauty where fairy-tale villages, ancient bastides and golden-stoned châteaux rise above the mist each morning.

Just a short drive away lies Monflanquin (11.5km), a picture-perfect bastide town perched on a hilltop. Here, you’ll find all the essentials (shops, restaurants and charming cafés lining medieval arcades) just 10 minutes from the château. The village has been classified as one of France’s ‘Plus Beaux Villages’.

Venture south to Villeneuve-sur-Lot (9km), a vibrant riverside town with lively markets and cultural festivals throughout the year as well as good-sized supermarkets. Nearby Pujols, another one of France’s Plus Beaux Villages, is a joy to explore, while the nearby hilltop village of Penne-d'Agenais, with its grand basilica and artisan boutiques, makes for a wonderful afternoon outing by the Lot River.

Heading north, explore deeper into the Dordogne and discover the architectural gems of Monpazier, Issigeac, and Eymet, all less than an hour’s drive away. These bastide villages, with their timbered façades and bustling squares, are living remnants of medieval France. Local antique and brocante markets are scattered throughout the region, and food lovers will delight in the abundance of Périgordian delicacies: foie gras, duck confit, ceps and truffle-infused specialities found in village markets and traditional auberges.

For a longer day out, Bergerac beckons with its cobbled lanes and handsome harbour, where gabarres once ferried barrels of wine. Today, you can enjoy river cruises, a miniature train tour through the old town and visit the statue of the flamboyant Cyrano de Bergerac himself. Wine enthusiasts should follow the Route des Vins de Bergerac, winding through the famed vineyards of Périgord Pourpre, where local growers welcome visitors for tastings in cellars and countryside estates.

Whether you're drawn by gastronomy, heritage or the serenity of the landscape, Château Trieux offers the perfect base to experience this exquisite corner of south-western France.
