5 comfortable en suite bedrooms, individually furnished in country house style and contain a mixture of English and French antiques. Three of the rooms have stunning south-facing views across the verdant Dordogne valley.
Outside, the top terrace is easily accessed from the kitchen and sitting room and contains both dining furniture and a barbeque, making this the perfect place to stargaze on those balmy summer evenings. An ancient vine-edged staircase leads you down to the exclusive swimming pool, set in a sunny terrace, flanked by fragrant flower beds, lawns and vines, with unique panoramic vistas over the Valley of the Five Châteaux.
Please note the garden terraces are linked by a number of stone staircases and are finished by low walls installed when the house was built in 1860. This gives us the feeling that it really is not the place for very young children, but it is at your discretion.

We are five couples, all seasoned travelers in France, who had a wonderful two weeks at Chateau Nineyrol. This is a great location in the center of the Dordogne with easy access to everything, The chateau is very comfortable with en suite baths for each bedroom, huge well equipped kitchen, large dining room and spacious sitting room. The view from the terrace is fantastic. On a typical day we ate breakfast and dinner in the chateau and one meal out while sight seeing. The weather in late September was excellent. On a number of days we were content to just stay at the chateau and relax. It's that pleasant. The owner, Anne Penfold was very attentive to our needs and quite helpful in making our stay a great success. We have stayed in other rentals in France but none better than this.We all highly recommend Chateau Nineyrol.

Our 3-generation family plus rotating friends thought Chateau Nineyrol our best-ever vacation rental. The house is lovely and comfortable, with the luxury of a private bath for each of the five bedrooms. We enjoyed local attractions to which we could walk and easy drives to the major tourist destinations of the Dordogne River countryside. We spent more time at the Chateau than we had anticipated because it was situated in such a lovely spot and so comfortable for a large family group. We enjoyed shopping the many local markets for fresh local foods and had a special treat of a day with the French Chef recommended by the owner of the property. The listing was accurate and the owner was gracious and available next door to assist us when we had questions about the area. Everyone in our group thought our time at Chateau Nineyrol was the best vacation we had ever had, bar none.
