Immerse yourself in a haven where hospitality rhymes with elegance, and where every detail is designed for you.
The Labrousse spirit: welcoming as an art of living
At Domaine de Labrousse, welcoming is a vocation, almost a second nature. Annie and Gilles, your hosts, infuse every arrival with that unique warmth that transforms a simple stay into a memorable experience. Kindness permeates the atmosphere: here, smiles are never feigned, and attention is spontaneous. Guests, whether passing through or loyal regulars, testify to this rare conviviality, woven with small attentions and listening, which makes the Domaine a true paradise for those seeking to recharge.
This taste for sharing, inherited from Périgourdine traditions, is found at every moment. The pleasure of receiving — and pleasing — is expressed in the art of anticipating your needs, adapting to your pace, and offering you the feeling of being awaited, like among friends. It is no coincidence that so many visitors speak of interlude, haven, and inevitable return to Labrousse: the welcome is a promise kept, sincere and reassuring.
Charming rooms and gîte: comfort in authenticity
The discreet refinement of Domaine de Labrousse reveals itself in the layout of its three guest rooms on the ground floor, each opening onto a private terrace with a view of the countryside. Bourdeilles, Puyguilhem, Hautefort: these evocative names recall the jewels of Périgord and invite daydreaming. Attention to detail, high-end bedding, impeccable cleanliness: everything is designed so that rest comes with a cocooning sensation, between elegance and simplicity.
The surrounding countryside offers a living decor, which can be contemplated from the terraces or while strolling in the wooded park. Silence, far from being oppressive, invites tranquility and meditation. For families or groups of friends wishing to experience authenticity in complete autonomy, the Gîte de la Petite Brousse will soon welcome up to 8 people, extending the spirit of the Domaine around a shared art of living.
Table d’hôtes and bistronomy: a gourmet journey at the heart of the terroir
The beating heart of the Domaine is undoubtedly the Table. Every evening, Gilles' cuisine celebrates the richness of Périgourdine terroir with seasonal bistronomy, where tradition meets the modernity of mastered cooking. Fresh products, often sourced from local producers, are enhanced in an evolving menu according to the market and the chef's inspiration.
Guests, gathered around large convivial tables or in small groups for lunch at the Table du Domaine, discover generous, refined, and sincere cuisine: foie gras, duck breast, garden vegetables, homemade desserts. The carefully curated wine list offers a tour of France's vineyards, selected to harmoniously and surprisingly accompany each dish.
This sense of generosity, praised by our guests, makes every meal a sensory and human experience. Exchanges, laughter, culinary discoveries are lived in the gourmet simplicity that characterizes Périgord — as evidenced by this Wispra article on the art of living and gastronomy at Labrousse.
A preserved natural setting to recharge
Domaine de Labrousse opens onto bucolic panoramas, between meadows and forests, at the edge of the Périgord Blanc and Périgord Vert. The pool, nestled in greenery, invites relaxation, while the surrounding paths call for strolling, walking, or contemplation. Nature lovers appreciate the diversity of local fauna and flora, ensuring an environment conducive to self-reflection.
The absolute calm, often praised in our guests' reviews, transforms every stay into a restful interlude. Here, time seems suspended: one listens to the song of birds, breathes in the fresh air, and takes the time to enjoy a homemade breakfast on the terrace, bathed in morning light. This privileged setting contributes to the experience of sustainable tourism, respectful of the environment, in line with the expectations of contemporary travelers (see the figures on sustainable tourism in France).
