Château de Maraval

We are always looking for amazing and unique accommodations for our small group tours which we have been doing for almost 30 years. When I found Château De Maraval last year I was sure it would be the perfect ending to the tour of France we were doing for September 2026. I spoke to the manager Laurie and everything was in place for what we knew would be a perfect stay. I had already discussed meals and our stay in detail with Laurie, so it I was not concerned with the stay in any way. We made a €3,900 deposit and received our confirmation with 7 day before arrival free cancellation terms. In May of this year I was contacted by the new manager Nadia, who had taken over for Laurie. I told her that I was just starting a new tour and I would get in touch with later in case anything had changed. When I did attempt to contact her in July, I received no response so I sent a second and then a third email. Finally in August she responded telling me that it was high season and was too busy. It would have only take 30 seconds to respond to me and let me know that she was busy, but instead completely ignored all of my correspondence. I was so dismayed with the customer service or lack thereof so I requested that she please cancel my reservation as I no longer felt confident that they were the right fit for our group. I gave 6 weeks notice of cancellation rather than they 7 days as stated in my confirmation. It took 5 days of continuously requested a cancellation before she finally agreed to send my an acknowledgement of our cancellation. At the time of the acknowledgement Nadia assured me that they would review the deposit paid and get back to me in regards to a refund. I waited 2 weeks, and after not receiving any response I waited another 2 weeks and did not receive a response so I sent a final request which again was not responded to. At this time we believe we have been the victims of a breach of contract and unjust enrichment because Château De Maraval has no intention of honoring their agreement or of returning our refund. They do not even have the decency to respond that this was their intention from the beginning. As often happens in situations like this, the alternative accommodation we chose was perfect in every way and we are highly recommending them to anyone and everyone. Although the end result turned out far better than what we would probably have experiences at Château De Maraval it does not completely diminish the sting when a very small family owned business loses €3,900.

Amazing place, super nice manager I can’t thank Mdm. Nadia, the manager, enough, we were stuck late at night without a place to stay, and Mdm. Nadia went out of her way to accomodate us! Thank you so much❤️ The Château is so charming, comfortable & beautifully decorated, the estate is vast & calm, breakfast is served out on the terrace… can’t beat this place, I so highly recommend it.

This place was absolutely extraordinary! The staff were so lovely and they went above and beyond to ensure we were having the best time. The hotel rooms were incredible and excellent value for money. 10/10 would definitely stay again.

This beautifully restored Chateau is only available for a chosen few. Rooms are stunning. We had the Zen room which was in one of the towers and featured a curved bathroom.Beautifully appointed. Breakfast was either inside or outside. We chose outside.Beautiful park setting. Food was cooked to order! The pool was great. Easy drive to nearby restaurant at night. A big call out to Nadia...we recommend this hotel for those who are looking for something special

Chateau Maraval was perfect for us -- everyone there was lovely -- Nadia, Angelique and Paula and a gentleman whose name I don't know. They were all warm and welcoming. The room is spacious and the breakfasts were generous. The location is near the lovely towns of Domme and easy to access the other towns you'll want to see in the area. One small town we loved, and only visited for dinner, was Daglan. It's worth mentioning because of a really great (and extremely reasonable) restaurant called La Cantine by Fabrice Le Chef, that Nadia recommended to us. We enjoyed it so much that we returned for a second dinner.

Chateau De Maraval was just the castle experience we wanted from the medieval region from France. We were on a girl's trip and were provided two rooms that were beautifully furnished and stocked up. All the interiors was tastefully done. Outside of the castle is medieval but the rooms were with modern amenities. It was like living the best of two worlds. The property is well maintained. The staff were very helpful and kind. We had an amazing time. We definitely would recommend this for families and girls trip if you want a nice quiet and fun getaway in medieval French setup .

A stunning chateau with truly amazing staff. My wife and I had the pleasure of a one week stay at the end of May, the chateau is very clean and is set in lovely grounds , with a lovely pool, which we loved to relax by late afternoon after our daily travels , and an funky outdoor sauna. The breakfast was lovely and the fresh scrambled eggs with cheese , divine. Location wise, it's close to the Dordogne river and the must see castles. There was an issue with the air con upon our arrival ...a day when it was 33c but the hotel manager had a engineer in straight away and made sure we had a room with Aircon working before bedtime. A amazing place made perfect by the staff.

Wow just wow , I ve been fortunate enough to stay in some nice hotels around the world , and Chateau de Marvel is up there with the best. The Chateau is stunning , and set in a great position to explore the local tourist attractions and Dordogne. The heated outdoor swimming pool is an added bonus and a lovely place to relax in nature after a day out exploring. But what really makes this Chateau special is the staff , from Eric the gardener, Paula who makes the most amazing scrambled eggs and the rest , nothing is to much trouble, Thank you for a incredible stay

This small boutique hotel is fabulous. Located not far from stunning Dordogne villages and towns, it is set in it's own beautiful gardens with a lovely swimming pool that we spent many hours beside whilst reading our summer books. We had 5 nights and at times had the pool to ourselves. The staff were so helpful (and proud of the hotel!) and recommended places for dinner and lunches etc and will happily book them for you if required. We dined at La Belle Etoile in La Roque Gageac. Incredible especially as the hotel made sure we got a river view table. The local restaurant was also really good with a more rustic offering. Bedroom was stunning with contemporary feel throughout and a wow bathroom with separate shower and bath. Breakfast had everything you needed unless you want a greasy spoon style feast?! We will return in 2027.
