Dream Medieval Stone Villa in Popular Market Village, ideal for Couples Family

Our stay here was truly incredible, and a large part of a bucket-list trip that we will never forget. The pictures featured can't truly do this medieval home, stylishly updated for modern comforts, the justice it deserves. Absolutely everything in the home was thoughtfully provided from beautiful bed linens to US charging ports to welcoming wine on arrival. Views of birds circling the medieval church as the bells ring hourly from the third story bedroom was enchanting, and every morning we would run right down to the boulangerie on the corner for morning baguettes and treats. Janice, our host, is one of a kind and could not have impressed us more from beginning to end. Correspondence before our trip was seamless, and she provided helpful guides to attractions, restaurants (even offering to help us with dinner reservations on our first night arriving), and everything we could possibly need. Meeting her in person in France was a delight and we are proud to now have her as a friend. I would book with her again in a second, and I am not easy to impress. Merci, Janice!

Excellent--very much as advertised. End of March is a bit too early as many of stores and restaurants are not yet open or have reduced hours.

Everything was as stated and turned out to be even better. We had a wonderful time in Issigeac and our hostess was extremely helpful, friendly and charming. There was a detailed guide to the area and town with many great suggestions as to what to do and where to go. The house had everything we needed and anything that might be needed was provided. I can't rate this stay high enough.

This property is located in the heart of a medieval village and the home actually dates back about 900 years. It has been meticulously restored to preserve as much of the history as possible but to also make it modern and comfortable. We stayed for 2 weeks and loved it. The home has everything you need from comfortable beds, nice linens, shower, bath tub, washer, dryer and my husbands favorite…the fireplace. The town of Issigeac is small but filled with lovely shops and restaurants. I also found a Pilates studio about 30 seconds away and went almost daily. We went to fresh markets in different towns and stocked up on fresh produce, strawberries, cheese, baguettes and sausage, although the best market is right in Issigeac on Sundays. We were too early in the year to check out the night markets but we look forward to those when we return in the summer. We enjoyed sitting in the small courtyard adjacent to the house in warmer weather, as well as wandering the streets and alleyways of Issigeac. We hiked/ran a number of the trails that lead from Issigeac into the surrounding countryside. Villereal and Monpazier are charming towns a short drive away. The care taken by the owners to ensure that their guests have enjoyable stays is extraordinary and well beyond what we have experienced in numerous stays at other VRBO properties. The owners not only share their house, they share their love of the village and surrounding region.

Fantastic stay, property is wonderful, Issigeac is charming and Janice the owner is a lovely host. We originally had a booking when Covid first kicked off. We finally made it to the property at the 4rth attempt. Through all that time Janice was very helpful and communicative. When we finally arrived we were made to feel very welcome. I would thoroughly recommend a stay at this cottage.

The stone house in Issigeac was a sheer pleasure to stay in! It's everything you see in the pictures, with beautiful touches right and left. No attention to detail has been spared... everything from lots of local reading resources to a welcoming bottle of local wine and the most delightful bath soaps, comfortable and beautiful furnishings, and much much more. The house is perfectly located in the town, just steps from the square and everything else. Night and day, the house (and the church bells!) brought us back in time. It's a fascinating history, written in stone. And Issigeac is well located for day trips to many chateaux, the wineries of Bordeaux, and the caves of Lascaux, all of which we went to and highly recommend. Be sure to schedule your visit to include a Sunday, at least, as you will most certainly enjoy the market, which fills the whole town. It is a highlight! Truffles, sausages, confits, foie gras, fruits vegetables, poultry, and many local artisanal goods... you will find something delicious or beautiful, or both. Best of all, the owners are welcoming and delightful people, who enjoyed sharing Issigeac and the house with us. Meeting them was one of the highlights of our month in France! And they went the extra step, introducing us to local friends and merchants, setting up reservations, and more. They love this property and were wonderful hosts.

Everything about our stay in Issigeac was made possible and augmented by Janice’s beautiful home and warm hospitality. The house is charming and authentic to the Middle Ages village but also with supportive and very high quality modern accoutrements (from the lighting to great shower and luxurious tub, to the sunny patio and efficient laundry facilities). The woodwork, linens, gorgeous stone walls, and central but peaceful location all added up to a blissful stay. And Janice’s hospitality was incredible. Meeting us for lunch, including us in a wonderful dinner at a local winery, introducing us to her friends and life in the Dordogne; all of this went well beyond what we could have imagined and we are very grateful. We loved every minute.

We were three generations. What a delightful experience. House beautiful, village special and the owner was most attentive. We have stayed in the Dordogne many times but this was the best experience. Teenagers loved the Thurs. supper in the square and all the music and dancing afterwards . The Sunday market was large and exciting and the overall location spectacular. Driving on the d roads gave us a real feeling for the area. Janice did all she could to assist us when needed. She really made us feel (at home). Thank you.
