Maison de famille et terrain de rêve au coeur de la cité

There are two choices for parking: a designated space at the top of the hill adjacent to the entrance of the sloped lane, or you can drive down the lane to the house - which can be a little tricky depending on what car you drive. Down a few garden steps is a lovely terrace and south facing patio which leads to the entrance. The benefit of leaving your car up top of the hill-which we did- is that it won’t detract from the house’s charming position: perched high over Sarlat, it is surrounded by little meadows. The house is spacious, and has a very cosy, private feeling. And yet it is closer to the medieval centre than we first thought. Through a garden gate and down some steps, a paved public path runs through an ancient neighborhood below, leading you to one of Sarlat’s squares. From front door to the square is maybe a five minute walk. If you can, plan your visit around the Saturday market which is held in the town center.This property is a gem. The kitchen is well appointed, the living area and bedrooms spacious. A short drive in almost any direction will take you to any number of castles and villages.Our host was very gracious and most helpful. We are already planning our return visit!

Sophie's house exceeded our expectations. Pretty, charming and perfectly situated. the house was welcoming and met all of our needs. Sophie was a great host; she was responsive and helpful, and we would highly recommend this lovely "home away from home".

Lovely property, well equipped. Location close to centre was great and meant we coulde easily access the restaurants, shops and market. Excellent stay.

We stayed week and very much enjoyed this property. We woke to birdsong each morning and then had a short 5 minute walk to our choice of bakeries. Wonderful stay.

We are on an extended vacation in France during May. We have stayed in several great VRBOs along the way, the the property in Sarlat is head and shoulders above the rest. Sarlat is a beautiful medieval town with a thriving old town center with shops, restaurants, brasseries, and wonderful fresh bread, cheese, and vegetables. The problem is that parking in town is a nightmare. When we first came to Sarlat, before we could get into the VRBO property, we had to park about a 20 minute downhill walk from city center. That was OK but the 40 minute walk uphill was really difficult. The VRBO property has its own parking spot (if your brave enough to back down the driveway) but is only a short walk down to city center. It was like stying in our own little French villa. The house is immaculate and very beautifully appointed. It has a good-sized kitchen and two big bedrooms. I rate this property as one of the top VRBO properties at which I’ve ever stayed. Very highly recommend this one.

A wonderful position right above the centre of Sarlat,, just five minutes walk down a little path. The gite was beautifully clean and welcoming with everything one needs. There are no hanging facilities in the second bedroom, not even a rail to hang a shirt on, and oddly enough, three of the lamps had no globes in them. Sophie was helpful and welcoming and guided us to the house which is a bit hard to find. A great place to stay when visiting lovely Sarlat.

Very spacious house decorated in French country charm. A short stroll to the centre and a good base for exploring the area.

Super Lage im historischen Stadtzentrum von Sarlat, das über einen Fußweg mit 42 Stufen in 5 Minuten zu erreichen ist. Komplett und zeitgemäß ausgestattete Küche, gemütliches Wohnzimmer. Nur die Esszimmerstühle sind unbequem. Wegen des launischen Aprilwetters konnten wir die schöne Terrasse mit den bequemen Liegen und Gartenstühlen nicht nutzen. Die ersten 3 Tage konnten wir den Fernseher nicht benutzen, was nicht schlimm war. Leider ging auch das WLAN nicht, was schon ärgerlicher war. Die überaus sympathische Vermieterin Sophie gab sich aber jede erdenkliche Mühe, um den Fehler zu beheben. Danke für den Aufenthalt, Sophie!
