In a prominently high position within the village of Biron, this large fortress and old working monastery was owned by 14 generations of the Gontaut-Biron family. The south-west wall was once a part of the fortification of Biron, and is over 1 metre in thickness, dating back to the 12th Century. On becoming a priory, large Renaissance-style windows were added. Then in 1779, a new wing was built, forming the inviting courtyard you see as you come to the front of the hotel.

Care and precision has been put into the individuality of each room, and such attention to detail can be seen in the unique appearance of them all. A browse through our photos will help guests choose a favourite. All rooms are spacious and have 3 metre-high ceilings, sitting areas, tea and coffee making facilities, as well as bathrobes and hair-dryers. Nor has effort been spared on bedding and bed linen.

There is an also a self-catering apartment, allowing for a bit more independence in this lovely setting. It has satellite television, a DVD player, washing machine, and the kitchen includes stove, fridge and dishwasher.

Within an hour's drive of here, numerous attractions await visitors to the area: prehistoric caves, Romanesque churches and cloisters, fortified villages, and the delights of a trip alongside the Dordogne River. Le Prieuré du Château de Biron is also merely a few minutes' drives from the bastide towns of Monpazier, Villeréal and Montflaquin.
