A haven of peace, surrounded by magnificent parkland, in the heart of Périgord

The house is very nice, well-equipped and set in beautiful gardens. The area is very quiet - perhaps a little far from areas of interest in the Dordogne, though you are reasonably close to Perigueux and Bergerac if you need a small town, and there are villages with bakeries etc nearby (Pont St Mamet, Villamblard). For a decent sized supermarket, Vergt is not very far and has a nice Friday market. You really need a car (as mentioned on the listing). We found plenty of things to do in the region, as we know it quite well. It is very easy to access from Bergerac airport if you are flying in. One thing to consider is that unlike most holiday rentals (and many gites), there are basically no cooking materials (salt and pepper, oil, coffee, tea) provided for your arrival - so if you are coming from far away and (by plane) you will be heading straight to the supermarket. If you are coming from far and travelling light, sheets are not provided but can be paid for (as mentioned in the listing description), there are however no towels - so consider bringing them (not so easy on budget airlines). Also there is no WiFi - so don't assume that there is, and the countryside here has quite poor phone network. Overall, a nice place to stay for a quiet holiday - and easier if you are travelling from not so far away and can bring your own cooking supplies and towels.

A lovely house in a beautiful rural setting. Marie-France and Robert are charming and friendly hosts. We can highly recommend this property.

We had a lovely two week holiday in this beautiful farmhouse gite. After a nice welcome from Marie and Robert we enjoyed exploring the beautiful grounds which were perfect for our dog’s daily run. So many places to visit nearby (Pombonne Park lake in the early evening was a sociable place to spend a few hours after a day exploring), we enjoyed Bergerac city and the nearby Monbazillac Chateau (lovely wines to try), and we had fun visiting the wonderful French markets. We also explored a little further afield: paddle boarding on the Vezere and the amazing Gouffre Proumeyssac caves and park are well worth the trip. Thank you Marie and Robert for allowing us to use your lovely home and we would definitely love another visit another year.

This property is simply French and stands in an outstanding location looking across just the most fantastic countryside. It has easy access to Bergerac and all the main Dordogne tourist spots. But also it’s very much an area where you can experience real France with the beautiful villages, friendly locals and of course vineyards and wine in abundance. The hosts were fabulous and so helpful in every way. All in all a relaxing holiday with lots of opportunities to go and Explore. Highly recommend this property

A very pretty stone farmhouse in a lovely countryside setting. Beautifully decorated throughout, a charming gite in such a peaceful area. Perfect to get away from it all for a relaxing break. The little shop in Pont Saint Mamet (5 mins drive) is very handy for fresh bread and other bits and pieces. So many lovely towns and villages to visit nearby in what must be one of the most stunning locations anywhere. Marie and Robert met us at the house at the start of our stay and then at the end, very easy and organised. Hope to be back soon!
