GLORIOUS BEYNAC VILLA (POOL!) RIVER, CHATEAUX VIEWS - WALK TO RESTAURANTS, SHOPS

We enjoyed our stay in the quaint village of Beynac in this lovely home with the spectacular view of the Dordogne River. Although the weather could have been better during our stay, we visited the many charming towns and villages in the surrounding region. The highlight of our stay in Beynac was on our last evening when the the weather cleared, the sun came out, and we saw the hot air balloons float in front of us from our terrace! We would certainly recommend this place when visiting the Dordogne area.

The Ancienne Poste is a lovingly resored stone home perched over the Dorgogne River. On most mornngs and at sunset, we watched the hot air balloons flying over the valley. The home is well equipped with everything required for a comfortable stay, including a terrace and outdoor grill for dining al fresco and a small pool for cooling off at the end of a hot summer day. Although there is no air conditioning, the house was cool at night with the windows open. As noted in the listing, the house is located in a medieval village and you need to be prepared to walk up a steep incline to get there. Although parking is available near the house, it is challenging because of the very narrow roadway. Like many other reviewers, I would recommend parking below in the village car parks. My family thoroughly enjoyed this very special place and highly recommend it!

We stayed at the Post Office for four days with our two adult daughters. Everytime we looked out of our windows we could not believe the breath taking views from this house. The house was beautiful and comfortable and the charming neighbor and his little cat was a joy to say hello to each morning. It was warm when we stayed but as other guests mentioned we were very comfortable with the windows open and the ceiling fans on in the bedrooms. The basement bedroom is a little musty smelling- completely understandable, this is a stone medieval house but if you have asthma or other breathing conditions stay in one of the other rooms. We loved this village and this is one of the best houses on site. In fact often if we had the front gate open tourists would start to enter thinking it was on display. As several other guests mentioned though this a steep and hard walk to get up to the house from the village but it is well earned with the views. We had a rental car and after tucking in the side mirrors and our lovely neighbor encouraging us we made it to the parking spot by the house. After the first time my husband had no issue coming and going but it is not for the faint of heart or spatially challenged. It very narrow, very steep and you have to navigate the tourists also trying to walk on the road. The host was responsive and was so kind in allowing us a late check out because she did not have an immediate reservation. We wished we could have stayed longer!

This property is located pretty much in the middle of Dordogne in a most charming village. That means many sights are an easy drive away- that is if you ever want to leave Beynac et Cazenac! The sunsets from the terrace are stupendous and the house is well stocked for your needs. However, as in most rentals, check the house before heading to the market or supermarket as you never know what might or might not be there. The narrow road up to the garage is a challenge, but not impossible. Exiting the garage is a challenge with many see saws, but with a companion to guide you, you can do it fairly quickly. It is worth it to avoid trudging up from the car park in the village. I can't speak for high season, but in autumn the surroundings are quiet- no barking dogs or loud neighbors. The property manager is most helpful and provided very clear instructions for check in and check out. If you speak French, you can learn a lot about the village from the neighbor who is most happy to talk!
