What to expect

Nestled in the French country, just 30 minutes from Bergerac Airport, Chateau de Sainte Croix is a romantic Dordogne chateau that offers the perfect backdrop for your dream wedding in France. We were immediately captivated by its majestic yet homely charm, the warm glow of its golden stone, and its beautifully designed interiors. This is a venue that truly has that wow factor!

Imagine Your Wedding Unfolding Like This…

For your ceremony, Chateau de Sainte Croix offers multiple spaces. Surrounded by 22 acres of landscaped parkland, you can choose the perfect spot to say ‘I do’—whether it’s the charming tree-lined drive or the serene orchard.

Host your wedding dinner outdoors on the picture perfect courtyard, adorned with fairy lights. If the weather isn’t ideal, the barns can accommodate up to 80 guests for a stunning indoor celebration.

As the evening unfolds, move the celebration to the chateau’s atmospheric stone-vaulted stables—an incredible space designed for dancing and celebrating late into the night.

The day after gather by the pool on the sun terrace for another round of festivities with a pool party. Your guests can relax, take a refreshing dip in the pool, chat and have fun.

Live the True Chateau Life

To immerse yourself in the full chateau experience, you’ll have access to the fully equipped kitchen—perfect for enjoying informal moments with family and friends throughout your stay.

Accommodation wise, Chateau de Sainte Croix can sleep up to 24 guests across 12 luxurious and ensuite bedrooms. Each room is spacious and thoughtfully decorated, combining modern comfort with historic charm. The highlight is the expansive 60 m² Master Bedroom, featuring a hidden ensuite bathroom behind a secret door and a beautiful metal roll-top bath overlooking the gardens!

A Family-Run Haven of Hospitality

What makes Chateau de Sainte Croix truly special is the warmth and care of its English-speaking owners, Gavin and Tina. With years of experience in the UK hospitality industry, they—along with Gavin’s son—have created a space that feels more like a welcoming home than an impersonal hotel. Their dedication to exceptional service ensures that every couple’s wedding is utterly unforgettable.

Reviews

Chateau de Sainte-Croix exceeded all of our expectations. We hired the venue to host our Wedding Celebrations in September 2024. The venue and the wedding day was absolutely beautiful, the décor was sublime, and above and beyond what we had envisioned. Tina & Gavin and were so attentive, going above and beyond to ensure things went smoothly. We're so very grateful for their hard work and dedication to not only making a superb venue but for ensuring the Chateau has a future and life within it for generations to come. We highly recommend the chateau to anyone looking for a beautiful and unforgettable setting for a magical event.
