Acabanes - Luxury Dordogne Villa

I booked the house for a family celebration and get together. It was fantastically well equipped for games, pool tournaments, outdoor activities and equipment for my grandchildren. Great location and guidance from Tracey on local places to go.

What a fabulous place. Set in beautiful French countryside, tranquil and full of rural charm. The house is absolutely amazing with a vaulted ceiling and a massive communal area. Many an hour was spent around the 2 log fires, pool table and the kitchen table that could have seated a small army. The swimming pool is very well thought through, with a sliding cover about 3ft over the water, so even if you were to visit out of season you can all jump in and the pool is kept warm. There is even a sauna and gym should you feel so inclined. When you then delve deeper into the house, there are lots of beautifully made up rooms, retaining their rustic charm, yet combined with all the modern luxuries you could want for. The beds are fantastically comfortable and the bathrooms with their roll-top baths and power showers are a great way to unwind after a long day of walks, biking or relaxing on the terrace or in the enormous garden. It is often the case in other such places that details such as the kitchen are lost. Not at all here - all the important bits such as kitchen knives that are actually sharp, ample cutlery, cooking implements, coffee machines, crockery and of course wine glasses are all there in abundance, fully thought through for large groups and families to be more than comfortable. And if cooking isn’t your thing, then there are various restaurants and eateries just a walk or a bike ride away. There are a mass of bikes available of all different sizes and configurations for all ages, making it incredibly handy to get around should you want to enjoy the countryside. And what a beautiful area it is, just a short trip to some amazing castles, vineyards or ancient towns for a bit of sightseeing or wine tasting. Having spent a glorious week there, we didn’t even get around to playing most of the games, the roulette table or massive DVD collection. The place really is so well furnished with everything we could have wanted. An absolute 10/10 and we shall definitely be back. Thank you Tracey & Adrian.

The villa is very well set up for large groups, with accommodation appropriately set out to allow for multiple families with privacy. Villa caters for everything you need and the owner provides excellent customer service. It worked very well for us, having initially a large extended family group, followed by my son's friends. All had a great time and were impressed with the facilities.

Acabanes was a really impressive luxury holiday home set in the beautiful countryside of the Dordogne. As a family of 12 members over three generations Acabanes provided plenty of space for all of us to spend time together or have our own space. The heated pool was used everyday, rain or shine and we even managed a full family bike ride to a local vineyard! The garden and terrace were fantastic and we spent many an evening admiring the view whilst drinking delicious local red wine. Matthew and Katie catered for us one night which was a real treat. Tracey the owner of Acabanes was extremely helpful in recommending local places to visit and restaurants. A fantastic location and wonderful family holiday. Thank you.

A character family home in a secluded area of the Dordogne. All the home comforts you could wish for and extremely clean. Several break out areas on patios and balcony. A great safe swimming pool and large garden area for active children. Splendid back up from owners if any special needs.

Acabanes was an amazing holiday. I visited with my wife and 2 labradors. We wanted a luxury holiday home but also wanted to take our dogs with us. The garden was brilliant as it's all fenced in and the walks from the house were super. We've booked again for next Spring and I think it will become a regular place for us.

We had the most wonderful time in this amazing property. The house has everything you could possibly want and to excellent standard. We arrived to complementary wine and fantastic service and care taken to ensure a fabulous holiday. We all loved it and will be returning hopefully next year. Thank you Tracey.

“We were a family party ranging in ages from 70 to 7. The villa accomadated us all, with every possible activity you could want. We swam,cycled,played football,cricket and rounders. There was also the gym,sauna,pool table and table tennis. Difficult to tear the younger members away from the villa. An excellent holiday home for all ages. We had a holiday that will always be remembered as very special. I would also recommend Matthew 'the in house chef'. He prepared two excellent meals at the villa , and we also visited his pop up restaurant”
