Pretty 17th century farmhouse, restored with pool, beautiful view of the valley
With superb views of the forest and valley, this property offers the best of all worlds - high quality housing enjoying the tranquility of the countryside and yet close to all the amenities and historical sites. The combination of exposed stones and beams and other original features make it a perfect combination of authenticity and modernity.
The front door opens onto a tiled corridor from which, on the left, is a large dining / living room with fireplace open and accessible. To the right of the entrance, the practically new kitchen with adjoining pantry, is absolutely well equipped. On the ground floor, the master bedroom with its independent bathroom is airy and bright. Its doors open onto the garden with pool view. From the living room, a staircase goes up to the other three bedrooms, each with its own bathroom / shower. The rooms are quite spacious.
In front of the house is a renovated building that houses laundry facilities. A luxury property, tastefully restored and close to many beautiful sites that this region offers.
We had a fabulous week, we were met by the lovely Florence when we arrived who showed us around and explained the property. The photographs online do not really do it justice and it exceeded our expectations.The kitchen was well stocked with equipment and all bathrooms had a hairdryer. The separate laundry room with an additional refrigerator was a bonus. The beds were comfortable with extra pillows if needed. The beautiful garden was huge and well maintained with stunning views over the valley. We all made good use of the pool and sun beds although the only feedback we would give was that the few parasols there werenât really enough for good shade poolside and do not work fully. All in all we had a wonderful time and enjoyed the house and exploring the surrounding area.
Zeer leuke topvakantie gehad. Ook hartelijk ontvangen geweest bij aankomst.
Enige minpuntje was de airco die niet werkt zoals een airco zou moeten werken.
In de kamers boven was het 32 graden met de airco aan.. (buiten wel 37)
Maar desondanks dit was het fantastisch.
The property is spacious and well furnished. We had a full house of 8 adults and two children and had plenty of room. The pool was refreshing and the expansive gardens had plenty of room for a kick about and some racket sports. The area is beautiful and the sunsets were a sight to behold from the patio. The morning mist over the valley was lovely. The house is a great base to explore the Dodrogne. We had a wonderful time and would definitely go again.
The property was as advertised, in a good location. Everything you needed was available and the layout within the house suited us well. Unfortunately, we did not receive any communication regarding the exact location of the property or how to get into the property until we messaged and phoned the property owner less than a week before arriving there. Apparently this information should have been sent by agents but we didn't get it. On arrival we were met by Florence who was very helpful.
We were disappointed to discover dirty cutlery and crockery in the drawer/cupboard, previous occupants had obviously not checked before putting them away.
The bed in the downstairs bedroom is very low which may be an issue for some people.
We visited many attractions which are all within reasonable driving distance.
We loved our stay in this beautiful villa in the mountains of the Dordogne. The view is exceptional and the villa is even more beautiful than the pictures. It's in the perfect location in the capital of the historic finds and you have the beautiful nature of the Dordogne: the mountains, river, forest and villages. A perfect family vacation in this beautiful, rustic, clean and peaceful place!
