The property: Château de La Jarthe

This early medieval château from the 11th century, once a seat of the Knights of the Order of the Templar is situated on a hilltop and includes 120 hectares of beautiful land. Immediately next to the main building, the grounds on one side are made up of gently undulating lawns dotted with trees. On the other side, there is a large, sweeping tract of woodlands. The countryside here is still very pristine, and bursts with wildflowers in the spring and summer. Nestled around one side of the château is a small, moat-like lake.Of all of La Perla’s noble properties, Châteaux de La Jarthe has the most extensive and varied grounds: more than enough to create numerous building plots, as well as a complete range of outdoor facilities, including an 18-hole golf course, tennis courts, an equestrian centre and extensive, picturesque trails for jogging and riding. The layout and size of the rooms in the château are perfect for serving as central reception areas, lounges, shops and venues for meetings and other functions. Some would also lend themselves very well for short-stay or hotel rooms for those who want to temporarily enjoy an active break at a classic resort.

The Dordogne

The Dordogne is a beautiful landscape of rolling hills, sparkling rivers and ancient woods of oak and chestnut. And through the ages, man has enhanced this pastoral setting – dotting the landscape with quaint villages, golden citadels and fairy-tale châteaux. It’s a land of quiet abundance, where time seems to go more slowly and local festivals and the passing of the seasons are still celebrated with delight, just as they have been for hundreds of years.
