SPLENDIDE MAISON +PISCINE+ VUE PANORAMIQUE SUR LA DORDOGNE AU COEUR DE BEYNAC

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!

Nous avons particulièrement apprécié de séjourner dans cette maison. Elle est très bien agencée, la Piece principale est grande et très agréable en famille avec la cheminée en hiver. Nous étions nombreux et pourtant nous ne sommes pas sentis à l’étroit car chaque chambre se trouve sur un étage différent avec la sdb attenante. Nous sommes ravis d’avoir pu séjourner dans ce magnifique petit village de Beynac avec notre chien. L’espace extérieur est d’ailleurs aussi très agréable. Notre hôte a été très réactif lorsque nous avons quelques soucis avec la cuisine (manque de couverts) et la SDB (fuite de la douche et wc). Pour résumer, nous sommes très satisfaits de ce séjour dans cette maison avec une superbe vue sur la Dordogne.

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!

Le cachet de la maison ne peut laisser personne indifférent , elle possède un charme incroyable et jouit d’une situation exceptionnelle avec sa vue plongeante sur la Dordogne . Notre séjour a été rythmé par le ballet des montgolfières survolant les châteaux alentours et le passage romantique des gabarres sous les fenêtres . L’intérieur est très propre , décoré avec goût , bien entretenu et très bien équipé . Il ne manque rien . Un petit problème toutefois au niveau des toilettes d’une des chambres a été signalé à l’ agence et devrait trouver rapidement une solution . Ce léger désagrément a été largement compensé par la beauté des lieux .

Three of us spent two lovely weeks here in July 2019. This is a well maintained home perfectly situated in beautiful Beynac--overlooking the Dordogne and below the castle--and is perfect for touring the Perigord Noir. Other than loading and unloading figure that you will leave your car in the parking lot by the river--the steep cobbled alley up to the house is picturesque in the extreme but too much to handle, even in a small car, on a routine basis, and the river lot is very convenient and a bargain at 13 euros a week. Fellow Americans should not be concerned about the lack of air conditioning--we were there in a three-day, 105 degree heatwave and found that the ceiling fans and breezes off the river kept the house comfortable--and the pool was very welcome. The owners and local manager were very responsive, and the owners provide detailed instructions and advice for the area that were very helpful. Among local activities we recommend a Bergerac wine tasting tour with Max at Duck Truffle, a cooking class with Ian at Le Chevrefeuille, dinner at the night markets at Audrix and St. Cyprien, and the Tuesday morning market at Le Bugue--all within an easy drive of the house. Two restaurants located within two minutes of the house, La Terrasse du Chateau and La Petite Tonnelle are both wonderful (book in advance on The Fork). Don't go without first reading a few of Martin Walker's Bruno novels--they are a great introduction to the area.
