Lariviere

We are so glad we found La Rivière! We were hoping to take a restful day off from our travelling through France, and La Rivière was the perfect place. We chose “La suite Balnéo”, which is two rooms – a lounge with a huge spa bath and a bedroom upstairs with yet another (roll-top) bath. Our room was clean, comfortable, spacious, had tea / coffee making facilities and even dressing gowns! There’s also a shared lounge area with plenty of comfy seating for when the weather isn’t suitable to be outside. There’s a petanque / boules court, a small (but sufficient) swimming pool, a hot tub / spa, comfy outdoor chairs, some miniature goats, and the most laid-back cat (Tony) we’ve ever come across. If you really must “connect”, then there’s free Wi-Fi too. La Rivière is a few minutes’ drive from the nearest village, so it’s nice and peaceful, and was a perfect location for our quiet day off by the river. Matthias is a charming and entertaining host, as well as an outstanding cook. His English is excellent, so if your French is a bit rusty, fear not… you will have great fun improving each other’s vocabulary! A generous and delicious continental breakfast got us off to a great start to the day. On both evenings we asked to “eat in” and Matthias personally prepared very high quality dinners for us from his menu. Eating breakfast and dinner on the terrace overlooking the river was a delight, especially when joined by Matthias in the evening after dinner for conversation and a glass or three of the local wine. We enjoyed our stay at La Rivière very much and will certainly visit again when we’re next in that area. Highly recommended.

Mateus and his team are a very welcoming and friendly, as are the cat (Big tony) and the pygmy goats. Very nice dinner and breakfast served on the first floor terrace overlooking the river and we can recommend the local Bordeaux.

Allereerst : heel toffe mensen!Sympathiek en werkers.Heel knusse renovatie,veel sfeer,gastvrij.Diner korrekt.Locatie : we kwamen toer als het al donker was. Ideaal voor doortocht van en naar Spanje.In ieder geval: we denken met plezier terug!👍👍

Heel aangenaam verrast door de aangename en relaxte sfeer zodra je het terrein op rijdt en ook de ontvangst door de enthousiaste eigenaresse is veel waard. Drankje en heerlijk diner op het dakterras met uitzicht over de Dordogne is fantastisch. Het verzorgde ontbijt staat hier 's ochtends ook klaar. Apart terras met 2 fauteuils om te genieten v/d rivier. Fijn om 2 nachten hier te zijn met eigenaren die er veel zin in hebben. Een aanrader.

Es un hotel que se respira tranquilidad y sosiego, con unos excelentes anfitriones, acudimos a pasar la noche sin reserva y nos acogieron con una increíble amabilidad, era tarde y aún así nos prepararon una cena gourmet excelente con un buen vino, la Decoración es un 10 y la limpieza también. Un sitio indispensable para conocer. Gracias Mathias y Emily. Deseamos volver con más tiempo.

Un magnifique havre de paix, où tout est fait pour prendre le temps et profiter du moment présent. La décoration est très soignée, cosy et chaleureuse. La suite spa est un petit cocon de bien être où le temps s’arrête.. Les hôtes sont très sympathiques et pleines de petites attentions.. Le petit déjeuner est copieux et délicieux.. Nous y retournerons dès que possible ..
