Les Cypres - Three Bedroom Villa, Sleeps 6

If the world has made you weary, an escape to this villa in the Dordogne will set things right again. The detached spa building features a Jacuzzi and Finnish-style sauna, where your tension will melt away. Once you’ve had enough heat, take a dip in the private swimming pool surrounded by flowers.

Inside, you’ll feel you’ve stepped into the pages of a magazine; sense of relaxed elegance pervades this 3-bedroom country charmer. And always, the outdoor spaces will call you to come breathe deeply among the trees.

Located in the commune of Vézac, you’ll find no shortage of idyllic sights to see nearby: the gardens of Château de Marqueyssac are just a short drive away whilst La Roque-Gageac and Domme, two of France’s ‘Plus Beaux Villages’, can be reached within 15 minutes by car. We also recommend visiting nearby Sarlat, a medieval town with gardens and an excellent market where you’ll sample the region’s specialties of foie gras, confit d'oie, and mushrooms.

Sporting types will find all manner of activities to suit them; drive to Vitrac to rent bicycles, ride horses or picnic beside the riverside beach. Long days spent touring and sporting in the French countryside demand a holiday villa where you can seamlessly refresh and recharge - Les Cypres.

Location:

The Dordogne region of France is one of the country’s most beautiful and enchanting destinations. Rolling countryside is dotted with medieval bastide towns and fairytale châteaux that seem to rise from the morning mist. Renowned for its culinary excellence, the area boasts Perigordian specialities such as foie gras, confit d'oie, rich duck dishes and a profusion of wild mushrooms.

Beynac-et-Cazenac (5.5km), officially listed among the Les Plus Beaux Villages de France, is a historic gem perched above the Dordogne River. Its magnificent medieval château, once besieged by Richard the Lionheart, offers sweeping views across the valley, while the archaeological park reveals fascinating insights into prehistoric life.

Just 7km away, the charming town of Sarlat-la-Canéda is a treasure trove of medieval architecture. Cobbled streets wind past honey-coloured stone buildings, lively squares, and elegant gardens. The town’s bustling markets, held on Wednesdays and Saturdays, are a feast for the senses, brimming with local produce, artisanal crafts, and regional delicacies.

Nearby Domme (12km), a fortified hilltop village, is another delight. Market day on Thursday fills its picturesque streets with fresh produce and local treats. Domme also offers panoramic views over the Dordogne Valley and intriguing ancient caves that lie beneath the town square.

A short drive leads to La Roque-Gageac (7.5km), another stunning riverside village set against a dramatic limestone cliff. Its narrow lanes, exotic gardens, and tranquil boat trips on the river make it a must-visit. Meanwhile, nature lovers will adore Les Jardins de Marqueyssac. These exquisitely manicured gardens feature 150,000 hand-pruned boxwoods, romantic pathways, and mesmerising views over the valley – perfect for a leisurely stroll or a summer evening promenade.

For enriching day trips, the Vézère Valley awaits, known as the cradle of European civilisation. Les Eyzies (22km) is home to the National Prehistory Museum and stunning prehistoric sites, while the Lascaux IV Centre International de l'Art Pariétal (32km) near Montignac offers an extraordinary recreation of the world-famous Lascaux cave paintings.

The Dordogne is also a paradise for outdoor enthusiasts, offering horse riding, tennis, mountain biking, canoeing, and kayaking along the river. Endless hiking trails and peaceful fishing spots abound – with the owner, an avid fisherman, happy to share his insider tips.
