Bed and Breakfast at the Saint-Michel Priory in Tourtoirac

Located in Tourtoirac, in the heart of the Périgord region, the Le Prieuré Saint-Michel bed and breakfast occupies a former priory whose earliest buildings date back to the 11th century. Perched atop Mont Saint-Michel, at an altitude of nearly 300 meters, the establishment enjoys unobstructed views of the rolling landscapes of the Périgord Vert and, on a clear day, as far as the Massif Central mountains.

Surrounded by meadows, forests, and unspoiled natural areas, the site offers a peaceful environment, far from busy roads and recent developments. This location allows you to fully enjoy the Périgord countryside, in a setting ideal for relaxation, discovery trips, and outdoor activities.

The five guest rooms primarily accommodate couples, but the site's total capacity also allows for groups of up to twelve people. The tastefully renovated rooms are located on the upper floor of the main building.

Comfortable rooms in a former priory

Upstairs, the bedrooms have a simple and functional layout, in keeping with the spirit of the place. The spacious bathrooms are equipped with showers and sinks. The toilets are separate.

Two common lounges allow visitors to meet, read, or have a light meal. A refrigerator and microwave are also available.

The garden and park remain freely accessible throughout the stay.

The Saint-Michel Priory provides several amenities appreciated during a stay in the Périgord : free WIFI access, private parking, enclosed grounds, garden furniture, barbecue, storage for bicycles or sports equipment.

The establishment is open all year round, allowing visitors to discover the different seasons of the Périgord Vert, from colorful forests in the autumn to summer markets and more peaceful landscapes during the winter.

Swimming pool, nature and a peaceful stay in the Périgord Vert

The recently renovated 10 x 5 meter outdoor swimming pool is a popular spot during the warmer months. Secured by a barrier, it blends into a green environment of woods and meadows.

The estate also maintains an agricultural focus with a vegetable garden, orchard, poultry yard, and livestock. This activity contributes to the rural atmosphere of the site and is used in the preparation of meals offered at the guesthouse.

Breakfasts feature products made on site or from the garden depending on the season: yogurts, jams, compotes, homemade pastries, walnut cakes, madeleines, crepes or traditional desserts.

Meals are prepared using produce from the vegetable garden and farmyard, and are available by reservation. This approach allows guests to discover simple cuisine inspired by local and seasonal products.
