Style & Character
L`Hotel de Cours de Thomazeau was built in 1770 on the footprint of the early medieval fortified chateau and was designed by Louis Victor (famed for the Bordeaux opera house).
The hotel has been lovingly restored into a gracious private hotel by its current owners, Ron and Jenny. It’s full of character and charm, with soaring ceilings and chandeliers, exposed stone walls, wooden beams, and a cozy, inviting atmosphere.
Elegant furniture and antiques throughout, making it a truly remarkable destination for an exclusive French luxury stay, and an underground gallery and spring make this destination utterly unique.
From the chateau, guests can enjoy views of the rolling countryside and the medieval domes of the nearby churches. The courtyard at the front is beautifully sheltered and ideal for enjoying a glass of wine.
