This stunning house is set within 14 acres and sleeps up to 16 guests with ample space to spread out and truly relax. It was refurbished in 2023 with a brand new extension and cinema room added. Back to the original part of the house, guests can expect traditional design and high standards across the vast lounge with a 80” TV and a gorgeous kitchen-diner.
The estate is a seamless blend of old and new is certainly impressive, as are the beautiful grounds with a flower-filled garden, the second jacuzzi (this one outdoors), a picture-perfect veranda for tranquil breakfasts, stone statues, a fountain and the idyllic swimming pool overlooking rural scenery. When the sun is a little too much, seek shade in the poolside lounge with its sofas, bar, sink and fridge.
The food REALLY IS farm-to-table so it’s fresh, seasonal and delicious. Come and savor the chef’s heavenly local creations.
Take in the splendid views while eating at one of several outdoor spaces. The patio adjacent to the pool is great for lunch or drinks and dinner while watching the sunset.
The Dordogne Region of France
The pace of life in the Dordogne is languid, laid back and positively infectious. Relax in bucolic beauty as you drift along the Dordogne River, or wander among the forests and hillside of the Périgord Natural Park.
The foodie scene too, is a relaxed affair. Take your time over your lazy lunches of local duck, black truffles and goats cheese. The wine here is second to none, with infamous grapes like Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Chenin Blanc all having a huge presence here.
The Dordogne is also brimming with history. Castles and chateaux are scattered throughout the region, among the enchanting medieval villages. History of an altogether more ancient sort can also be explored in the incredible prehistoric cave drawings of Lascaux and Grotte de Rouffignac.
The local village, 2.5km away, is tiny yet is home to an excellent restaurant, performing arts centre and an outdoor cinema – it hosts a much-loved film festival in August! Just a little further, within a 5km drive, are the shops, restaurants and weekly Sunday morning market of characterful Cazals. Discover hiking trails, mountain biking and fishing opportunities nearby alongside summer watersports at Lac Vert, just 10 minutes away by car.
Canoeing or kayaking along the Dordogne River is also a must, perhaps near Domme, one of France’s ‘Plus Beaux Villages’ reached within half an hour. Experience the Périgord Noir’s finest gastronomy in Sarlat-la-Canéda, around 40km by car, and visit some of the region’s iconic grand châteaux. Don’t miss the Jardins de Marqueyssac, especially in the summer when you can often explore in the coolness of the evening.
Wine-lovers note that some of the world’s best Malbecs are produced in Cahors’ vineyards, a handsome medieval town half an hour away, also home to Le Pont Valentré, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Another one of France’s most popular destinations is the pilgrim’s town of Rocamadour, not far from the amazing caves at Gouffre de Padirac, yet another fantastic day out in this wonderful region of France.
Fly into Bergerac, Brive-Souillac or Toulouse Airport whilst the nearest train station is Cahors (27km) with direct SNCF services from Paris.
Included transport will depart from TLS at about 3:30 on 6/15 and return from the estate on 6/22 at about 11am. Included transport will depart from Cahors train station around 3:30-4pm on 6/15 and return from the estate about 11am on 6/22.
