BRITAVIT – CHARMING ACCOMMODATION AND TABLE D’HÔTES IN SAINT-AVIT-SÉNIEUR

An authentic immersion in Dordogne

Nestled in Saint-Avit-Sénieur, in the heart of the Périgord Pourpre, Britavit is a guest house that combines charming rooms, an independent gîte and a table d'hôtes. Housed in a stone building typical of the Périgord, this address seduces with its peaceful setting and its proximity to major historical sites.

Overlooking the village, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its abbey, Britavit offers an environment conducive to relaxation and discovery. Its well-kept outdoor area, complete with a saltwater swimming pool overlooking the fortified town of Beaumont-du-Périgord, invites you to enjoy the area's rolling landscapes.

Accommodation between authenticity and comfort

The four guest rooms are furnished in a spirit combining charm and comfort. Each has quality bedding, a private bathroom and a space dedicated to rest. Different configurations are offered, including the Avitus suite, the Familia family room, as well as the Le Pigeonnier and Carpe Diem rooms, ideal for couples and groups of friends.

For greater independence, the Cachou gîte, designed for two people, has a fully equipped kitchen and a cosy lounge, providing an ideal setting for a completely independent stay.

The exteriors are full of relaxation areas: an old tobacco drying shed transformed into a library and games room, shaded corners under the oak trees or even a truffle field ideal for strolling.

On certain evenings, Britavit offers a table d'hôtes where guests can enjoy dishes prepared with regional products and vegetables from the pesticide-free vegetable garden. A lighter alternative is offered with meal boards, highlighting local specialties.

Every morning, a gourmet breakfast is served, consisting of homemade breads and cakes, artisanal yogurts, homemade jams and seasonal fruits, to be enjoyed indoors or outdoors depending on the weather.
