Introduction
Nestled between Périgueux and Brantôme, on the edge of the Périgord Blanc and Périgord Vert, the guesthouse Domaine de Labrousse unfolds a sincere art of living, rooted in the authenticity and generosity of the Dordogne countryside. Here, every stay becomes a rare interlude, driven by the welcome of Annie & Gilles, in an environment where time slows down for simple pleasures. Throughout this article, we invite you to discover why choosing a charming guesthouse like ours is to offer yourself much more than accommodation: it is to taste the very essence of Périgord.
The discreet charm of a guesthouse in the heart of nature
At Domaine de Labrousse, the experience begins upon arrival: an avenue lined with oaks, hills that outline the horizon, and, all around, the wild and preserved nature of Dordogne. Far from the hustle and bustle, the property offers a haven of peace where every element invites relaxation. The private terraces of our rooms — Bourdeilles, Puyguilhem, and Hautefort — open onto the countryside, providing intimacy and serenity. This idyllic setting is one of the reasons why our guests speak of a “paradise” or a “soothing place cut off from the world.”
This absolute calm is enhanced by the attention given to comfort: high-end bedding, careful decor, bright spaces, and always this impression of being welcomed like at friends' houses, a thousand miles away from impersonal accommodation. The official site details each of our rooms and their particularities.
An art of hosting rooted in conviviality and kindness
Hospitality at Domaine de Labrousse is much more than a job: it is a commitment. Annie & Gilles ensure every day that each guest feels awaited, listened to, and pampered. From considering dietary preferences to personalizing attentions in the room, every detail matters. This sense of welcome and this “kindness” regularly praised by our visitors make each stay a strong human experience, where conviviality invites itself over a cup of coffee, a glass of wine, or during a shared dinner.
The excellence of the welcome is indeed a central point cited in our guests' feedback: here, one finds the warmth of a home, the elegant simplicity of a French art of living, and the pleasure of sincere exchanges. This positioning, at the crossroads of the spirit of a friends' house and discreet refinement, explains why so many of our visitors describe their stay as a “memorable experience” or “unforgettable.”
The guest table: awakening the taste buds and the joy of sharing
Epicureans and gastronomy lovers will be delighted by the Table du Domaine, the highlight of our offering. Each evening, the guest table transforms into a celebration of Périgord cuisine, revisited with accuracy and creativity by Gilles. Local products, chosen for their freshness and quality, compose generous plates where tradition meets modernity. Lunch, on the other hand, is offered in a “private restaurant” format for 8 to 10 guests, extending the gourmet experience in an intimate atmosphere.
The wine cellar holds beautiful discoveries from all French regions. The food and wine pairings are designed to enhance each dish and offer both amateurs and novices an introduction to oenology, in a spirit of sharing and transmission.

Tailor-made stays for all desires
Whether you come as a couple for a romantic getaway, with family, or with friends, Domaine de Labrousse adapts to your expectations and your pace. Our three ground-floor rooms guarantee intimacy and comfort, while the upcoming opening of the Gîte de la Petite Brousse will provide an ideal space to accommodate up to eight people in a spirit of conviviality and autonomy.
Stay packages, gift cards, or personalized services — such as pool privatization, organization of tasting workshops, or local visits — allow everyone to compose their own experience. The flexibility and adaptability of our offers are highly valued by families and groups, for whom comfort and intimacy are essential to the success of their stay.
Périgord, a land of history, nature, and discoveries
Staying at Domaine de Labrousse also means opening up to the cultural and natural richness of Périgord. Just minutes from Agonac, the treasures of local heritage await the curious: castles (Bourdeilles, Puyguilhem, Hautefort), characterful villages, hiking trails, gourmet markets, not to mention the rivers and forests that shape the softness of the landscapes. To better prepare your excursions, consult the official page of the Dordogne Departmental Tourism Committee, a reference for exploring all facets of the region.
Dordogne is today one of the most sought-after rural destinations in France, prized for the quality of its accommodations, the diversity of its terroir, and the preserved beauty of its sites. According to Atout France, Périgord is experiencing an increase in tourist traffic, driven by a clientele attached to authenticity, gastronomy, and the peaceful rhythm of the southwest.
