The best possible experience. Beautiful property, large, comfortable room, outstanding swimming pool and lounge-dining/areas. It was the perfect quiet refuge just a 10 minute hike into bustling Sarlat. Christine could not have been a more helpful or professional host. We will recommend Hotel Bon Encontre to all without hesitation and hope to return.

Could not have been happier with our hotel choice. Yes it’s up an incline, 7 minutes down, 15 back up but it’s worth it. Christina, the owner, could not have done any more, she is a fantastic tour guide and offered great recommendations on where to eat. Rooms are decent size and the pool are is great.

Stayed at this lovely little hotel for 5 days. This cosy hotel is well organised and the rooms are spacious and clean. Nice swimming pool and lovely breakfast. The hotel is in a quit area of Sarlat, only a 10 min walk from the medieval center. Mme Christine made us feel very welcome and helped us to plan our stay, so we would see the most of this beautiful part of France.

What a wonderful experience! The room was very European, not like a large room in an American chain hotel. The location was perfect for us as it was peaceful and surrounded by nature, but a short walk into the historic district. The walk is up and down a somewhat steep hill. The highlight of our stay was our host, Christine, who was informative, kind, helpful, and full of energy. Since we don’t speak French, we appreciated Christine’s English skills in both speaking and understanding. We stayed three nights, but we wish it could have been longer!

This place is great, beautiful all around. I will be back. If you´re going by train, do call Christine, the owner, in advance. If she can, she will pick you up at la gare. Otherwise you have to download Sarlat´s taxi cab application before going, because there is no Uber nor a normal taxi service in town. Walking to the hotel from the Centre Ville will take around 10 minutes and it´s uphill. From la gare...maybe 20... but with luggage it can be hard. Ohh! Do sign up for breakfast and Christine´s amazing brownies and listen carefully to her recommendations. She really knows her region and will advise you wisely.

Charcuterie, fromages du coin, salade de fruits, gâteaux en plus des yaourts viennoiseries et confitures traditionnels. Différents chaque jour, on voudrait rester plus longtemps pour en goûter davantage. Le seul hic, le prix ? 14€
