Hôtel Le Compostelle

A hotel to sleep in Sarlat without wrestling with the old town

Le Compostelle is on Avenue de Selves, the northern entrance to Sarlat, a few minutes' walk from the medieval town. It is a three-star hotel that solves what is hardest in Sarlat in summer: parking. It has private parking and a motorbike shelter, so you leave the car on arrival and do the town on foot, including the Saturday market.

The rooms have air conditioning, television, wifi, minibar and shower. There are standard and comfort doubles and superior rooms overlooking the pool, a junior suite for four and two family suites: a two-room one for four people, with a double bed and two singles, and another with three rooms for six. It is one of the few hotels in the centre designed for a family that doesn't want to split into two rooms.

Pool, sauna and breakfast

The outdoor pool is open from early April to mid-October. The sauna runs from 11:00 to 20:00 and costs €15 per half hour for up to four people, with bathrobes and towels. There is a fitness room in the annexe, open from 9:00 to 19:00, and a bar until 20:00, with a terrace by the pool.

Breakfast is a sweet and savoury buffet with local products and the house's own pastries, at €14. It is served in the dining room, in your room or on the pool terrace.

Getting there and what is nearby

From Bordeaux you come by the N89; from Toulouse, by the A62 and the A20. Sarlat has a train from Bordeaux, and the station is to the south of the town, about twenty minutes' walk away. From the hotel, the Château de Castelnaud, Beynac and La Roque-Gageac are about twenty minutes by car, and Lascaux IV, in Montignac, a little over half an hour.
