In the heart of the Limousin-Perigord National Park, this home exudes all the rustic charm of an old farmhouse. The building dates back to the 17th century, evident in its honey-brown stone facade and white-wash shutters. The lush garden is home to towering, ancient trees, offering plenty of privacy, especially if you want to spend day lounging by the poolside in the sun. There’s a hammock for a quiet siesta and dining beneath the wrought-iron gazebo. From here, the only soundtrack to your holiday is the cheep of blue and great tits. Pathways lead across the seven acres of grounds to hidden benches and shaded spots between the trees – you may even spot the resident green woodpecker nesting in the sweet chestnut tree. 

Inside, it’s a picture of lavish yet rustic charm, with a wood-burning stove in the master bedroom for chilly evenings, original fireplaces and a big farmhouse-style table at the centre of the kitchen. This home has been lovingly restored, with the old features like wood beams and terracotta floors still on display. In the grand living room, you’ll find an antique dresser stacked with books and a fireplace for cosy evenings in. While the kitchen is vast and boasts a pretty stove in the old hearth. 

You could spend all your days spotting wildlife and lounging by the pool. But if you do fancy a day trip, Limoges is a forty-five-minute drive and the pretty medieval town of Périgueux is a fifty-minute drive in the other direction.

This chateau was in the same family from the 17th century to 1980 and then acquired by the current host in the last 12 months. A stay here will quickly reveal why they are probably so reluctant to let it slip out of their grasp.

The perks start before you even reach the home itself. Fifteen acres of well-kempt grounds feature everything from a wildflower meadow and orchards to a private lake surrounded by woodland paths. A little closer to the property, there's a swimming pool to cool off during the summer months, an outdoor kitchen with a firepit, plus alfresco tables on the terrace with scenic views of the local valley.

Behind the home's front door, guests are treated to three floors of lavish living space with a wealth of antique furnishings, grand chandeliers and cosy fireplaces. However, despite this historic appearance, a recent renovation has brought the chateau up to 21st-century standards, including an updated kitchen. There are also a lot of games and activities to keep youngsters entertained, from the slate-based pool table to a cinema room.

Travelling in a larger group? The grange is available upon request and can accommodate an additional four guests, bringing the total occupancy up to 18.

While there's certainly a sense of seclusion at the address, the market town of Thivers is only one kilometre away when you need shops or restaurants. Throughout the surrounding area, it's possible to fill days with visits to castles, wine tastings or outdoor activities. 

It Runs in the Family

Bicycles

Few things sounds more romantic than a cottage situated in the middle of wine country, where the endless vineyards sprawl and birds chirp. Perfect for a long-awaited holiday away from the kids or a getaway for a budding romance, the home is small but its surroundings are vast and baby-blue French shutters are ever-so charming. Escape right out to the private gardens from the pastel bedroom. After days lounging by the pool or drifting in the nearby river, take the bikes to one of two nearby towns to explore gothic churches and to pick up local delicacies like fresh truffles and a bottle (or two) of wine for enjoyment on the stone terrace. Intimacy is the emphasis here, and we can guarantee this home as a perfect start to a French-inspired love story. 

Gardenia

Soak up the rustic charm of this beautiful home, filled with character and all the luxuries you might want from a stay in France. Go for a float in the private pool or get some remote work done at the dedicated desk. Who says you can't be productive on holiday? The garden is perfect for sitting out under the trees with a drink, and the terrace is perfect for alfresco dining. Get a good night's sleep in the round bed upstairs, and relax in one of many shaded and sun-kissed spots outside.

Enjoy picnics by the banks of the Dordogne and strolls through the markets of Périgord. If you're looking for somewhere to eat, there are plenty of options a short drive away, whatever you're craving. Enjoy hours of exploration whether you're a hiker, a cyclist, or even a sailor. In the summer months, rent a kayak or canoe and traverse the Dordogne river. In the evening, the plush sofas of the two living areas make for cosy places to gather and discuss a busy day.

Bliss by the Pool

Rain Shower

Heated Pool

Doze in the sunshine and let the scent of peonies, magnolias and roses drift over you on a gentle breeze. This idyllic Dordogne home is a haven, set in a valley of rolling countryside. When you’re not stretched out on a sun lounger, you’ll be swimming laps in the solar-heated salt-water pool, and listening to the fountain trickle softly in the background. Tuck into alfresco feasts on the terrace – there’s a barbecue and pizza oven to make cooking as easy as can be. When the sun has set, settle around the fire pit with a bottle of local wine, and sit out late spotting constellations in the clear sky above. 

The house itself is wonderful. The contemporary living space is the heart of the home, with high ceilings and plenty of light. There’s enough room for everyone to gather together here, though there are also peaceful corners for those quieter moments – we love the reading nook. 

In addition to its wonderful charm and beauty, this home is in an excellent location. Hop on bikes to cycle into the village for a coffee and a bite to eat in a cafe-bar, or to shop locally. The Friday morning market in nearby Ribérac is one of the best in the area – head there to pick up local produce for dinner. Aubeterre-sur-Donne, one of France’s prettiest villages, is just a short drive away. There’s so much to see and do here, you’ll want to return time and again. 


Peony Blushes

Situated on seven acres of private woodland in the Dordogne valley, this romantic country home offers a tranquil retreat from the stresses of everyday life. Gaze out at miles of pastoral land from your private heated pool, and dine al fresco under the dappled light.

The interiors make a strong case for rustic chic decor. Painted wooden beams and a wide wood-burning stove bring that classic farmhouse flair, while neutral furnishings and abstract art balance the space and keep it contemporary. The vast kitchen invites you to cook up a lavish meal – ask your host to fill the fridge with local produce prior to your arrival. In the master bedroom, you can wake up and step straight out into the garden through French doors, and if you're one for slower starts, why not indulge in a morning soak in the rolltop bathtub?

It wouldn't be a trip to France without a frequent serving of croissants and pain au chocolat – and as luck would have it, your closest boulangerie is within walking distance. If you have a little more time, travel just fifteen minutes to the medieval town of Sarlat-la-Canéd, where you can treat yourself to the finest French cuisine at the vast indoor market.

Dans les Arbres

Staying in a renovated farmhouse with Dordogne river only steps from your your garden is a true treat, but there's more to The Fountain Garden the its location. The outdoor spots are beautifully relaxing and they'll make you feel like you're starring in your own movie about living it up in France while you admire the views. When you're not watching the world sail by, drive around the area and explore the nearby vineyards, villages, and galleries that make this regional's so popular with seekers of cultured getaways. After a long day of adventuring, return to your rustic abode for a well deserved meal whipped up in the well-equipped kitchen. This home has an honesty bar filled with delicious locally produced wines, which you can freely pair with your meals. If you're more of an alfresco diner, get the barbecue going and then digest in the back yard hammock. In the evening, relax in the cosy living room and organise a movie night while you reflect on the memories you made in Dordogne.

The Fountain Garden

Air Conditioning

Wheelchair Access

Journey through the vineyards of Bordeaux before finding yourself at this stone villa on the bank of the Dordogne. The highlight of this stay for us is not only the view of the romantic river, but the direct access to it via a private dock or one of the included kayaks. If you do happen to tire of a lazy day by the river (or pool if you’d rather), explore the private gardens, scenic as a Monet painting, and pick at seasonal treats for your family or friends to snack on. Speaking of food, you can take the bikes out to the nearby boulangerie for croissants and tarts. We should also mention that the local farm’s goats cheese selection is sensational, especially when paired with wines from the neighbouring vineyards.

Dating back to the late 18th century, this spectacular Dordogne manor house has been beautifully restored by its current owners, who've been careful to retain its character while adding those all-important modern conveniences for a stress-free stay. Original features, including marble floors, exposed stone walls and high beamed ceilings remain, with a mix of modern and antique furnishings adding to the overall effect.

Set in a small hamlet right by the river, its bucolic setting affords views of passing boats and swans as they glide serenely by – with only a lightly trafficked road separating you from the water's edge. In fact, one of the highlights of any stay is to spend a couple of hours canoeing downriver, taking in the views.

Return home to acres of grounds that the kids are sure to love exploring. We can picture spending many a sun-soaked afternoon spent by the pool with a glass in hand. With Bergerac, Saint-Émilion and Bordeaux all within driving distance, you're spoiled for local vintages.

Saddle up and cycle to the nearby town of Sainte-Foy-la-Grande, home to a spectacular Saturday market that's ideal for stocking up on essentials. In the opposite direction, the village of Le Fleix is known for its firework production, which guarantees a spectacular Bastille Day celebration. 

After spending your days cycling through vineyards, canoeing down the Dordogne or visiting beautiful local villages, the day ends relaxing by the pool beneath the star-pricked sky, with the scent of lavender filling the air.

Chateau en Suede

Tennis Court

Perhaps unsurprisingly for a chateau that dates back to the 16th century, there's a real air of grandeur at this address. Perhaps the best example of this can be seen in the dining room, which has parquet flooring, wood-panelled walls and a truly monumental 17th-century fireplace. The Beupoil family wallpaper in the living room wouldn't be of place in a museum, while the mosaic-tiled bathrooms are fit for a Roman Emporer, too.

The home's forty acres of private grounds are just as impressive as the lavish interior. Not only are there wonderful views of the Isle River Valley and the woods of Antoniac, but there's also a private swimming pool from which you can admire this rustic vista. Add to that an outdoor games area with tables for ping-pong and pool, plus a barbecue, and you've got everything you need for a stretch of alfresco living.

In the local area, the edge of Parc Naturel Régional Périgord-Limousin takes a quarter of an hour to reach in the car and offers no shortage of beautiful French countryside to wander through. The town of Perigueux is a five-minute drive away too and rewards visitors with a collection of fantastic restaurants, plus a twice-weekly outdoor market.


Yesteryear

On the tree-lined hills of the Dordogne valley, this beautiful home has been carefully restored to create an unforgettable stay in the French countryside. 

Set in the wing of a 13th Century chateau, this is the kind of space that transcends time and takes you on an immersive journey. And from the moment you step inside, you’ll want to stop and soak in the atmospheric beauty of this home. With arched ceilings and elegant styling, it feels traditional here but with all the luxuries you could want for a fulfilling stay. 

From the intimacy of the kitchen to the warmth of the dining room, it’s the perfect setting for family and friends to enjoy quality time together. And whether you’re relaxing by the pool or sharing a beautiful meal on the terrace, there’s a poetic charm to this home.

Follow the beautiful views and go hiking or mountain biking through the Dordogne countryside, or spend the day on one of the riverside beaches. The pretty town of Lalinde is only an eight–minute drive away, where you’ll find traditional restaurants and a wonderful market on Thursday mornings. 

With your basket full of fresh local produce, you’ll love coming home to this chateau on the hillside. Pour a glass of local wine and enjoy an evening of tradition and timeless French style. 

Moon in the Pines

Lift Access

On a cliff overlooking the Dordogne River, you'll find a 14th-century castle on beautiful grounds steeped in charm, character and tradition. On top of that, taking the title as one of Europe’s top ten best luxury villas for 2016 by The Telegraph, the chateau boasts scenic French country views for as far as the eye can see. 

Whether you're in the private infinity swimming pool, wandering around the 5 hectares of wooded grounds, or tucking into some local culinary delights and French wine on the patio – this spot offers an awe-inspiring setting from which to relax and enjoy good times. 

If you're looking for a wedding venue or somewhere to hold a special event, look no further, as the picture book setting of the majestic chateau offers an idyllic spot to celebrate with family and friends. With a chapel just a short stroll away in the local village, or space to host a ceremony and reception on-site at the chateau and in the stunning gardens, what more could you ask for? 

Located near the best of the Dordogne and Lot areas, the town of Souillac is only 8 kilometres away and well worth a visit. Meanwhile, the chateau's owner runs a Michelin-starred restaurant nearby – for when you prefer to dine locally. 


French Wine & Good Times 

This beautifully converted mid-nineteenth century mill house bordering the Auvezere river is perfect for those seeking a relaxing retreat in the French countryside, as well as those wishing to delve into local village life. The minute you arrive at Bucolic Beauty, you’ll feel right at home thanks to its beautiful and personal touches. During cooler months, the cosy sitting room is great for hunkering by the fire, while the outdoor terraced dining area and swimming pool make alfresco living a breeze during summer days. Little ones will particularly enjoy the large games barn that comes complete with table tennis and plenty of space to roam around. A lovely home like this requires excellent service to match: your very own housekeeper will be on hand to cater to your every need and give you an opportunity to practice your French!

Bucolic Beauty

As featured on Channel 4’s ‘Escape to the Chateau', this 12th-century castle once saw involvement in the Hundred Years' War, but now offers a storybook retreat. You'll be touching centuries of history as you brush past stone walls and walk spiral staircases. Imagine rolling out of a four-poster bed and admiring the valley views from a former lookout, then curling up in the lounge to learn some French phrases.

Sip cafe au lait before hopping in the plunge pool on summer days. To forget all about your medieval surroundings, rustle up a barbecue dinner and take photos beneath the wisteria. Alternatively, why not hire a private chef to cook a feast fit for a king? In the atmospheric dining room, you'll saunter atop chestnut floors and break bread with your loved ones beside a grand fireplace.

Perched above a vegetable farm, you can stock the kitchen with fresh produce at the weekly village market. Furthermore, this superb home sits within driving distance of several landmarks, including the Château de Beynac – an old stronghold of Richard the Lionheart. From canoeing along the Dordogne river to picnicking in the nearby forest, there's plenty to do in the countryside.

Knight Takes Rook

Sauna

If you're after an authentic stay in a historic French castle, look no further –this home offers the ultimate luxury French chateau experience. With carved, painted and stencilled wooden ceilings, uniquely themed bedrooms and even an original medieval chandelier in the period dining room, the building feels rich in history and exquisite in taste. That's not to say that it's old fashioned; the wellness centre (which includes a gym and yoga deck), sound system in the grand library, and air conditioning in each bedroom adds a modern touch. There are 32 hectares of grounds to explore, which include ancient woodland, valleys and even the ruins of a 12th Century church. All this, and the nearest village is only fifteen minutes away on foot.

The Marquise

This fully restored castle in the Dordogne manages to merge the modern with the ancient. The stone foundations may date back as early as the 5th-century, but the interior is dotted with modern art and all the little luxuries of modern life. There's over 15 hectares of land to explore, with a swimming pool, terraces, and a barbecue area for al fresco dining. The castle backs on to the vineyards of Bergerac, so you're never too far from a glass of locally produced wine. Should the weather turn, the games room with a billiards table and library with floor-to-ceiling bookshelves provide quality indoor entertainment.

Old World Meets New

Hot Tub

If a slice of the scenic Dordogne countryside were to express itself as a home, this would be it. Be it the pool surrounded by wildflowers and trees, the decadent sauna and hot-tub or evening Tête-à-têtes by the fireside as you sink into plush sofas, every space erases any trace of stress in you. While it's tempting to stay back in this very secure home playing table tennis all day, it'd be a shame to miss the relaxing activities nearby. Vitrac is a perfect town for cycling, horse-riding, golf and idling by riverside beaches. And if it's fishing that tugs at the heartstrings, the home-owner is a fisherman himself and will love to guide you through. With medieval towns, archaeological parks, markets and culinary delights all around, it goes a long way to live in this gorgeous home.

By the Bougainvillea

Stepping onto the terrace of Le Souhait you’ll feel as though the whole of the Dordogne is at your feet, and you’d be right. This fantasy of a farmhouse is set within seventy acres of a vast walnut orchard with a private pool, a wishing well, and alfresco dining, and it’s a brief drive away from the sunny villages and vineyards of the area. Inside the home, the walls are hung with curiosities, shelves groan with the weight of beautifully bound books, and there seems to be a chandelier in every room. Warm woods, bright colours, and tongue-in-cheek design touches (like the penny farthing bicycle hanging in the hallway) prevent this home from feeling too grand to relax in; it invites you to gather round the farmhouse kitchen table for morning coffee, spend an evening dining on the terrace, or sink into the comfortable queen bed after a long day by the pool. 

Le Souhait

Baby Changing Mat

Driving up to this 18th-century chateau in the Bergerac region of France might invoke a sense of actually travelling back in time. And if driving in through wrought-iron gates and past decorative moats doesn’t do it, the interior of this beautiful home just might. Between exposed beams, historical fireplaces, rough-stone walls, chandeliers, and a spiral staircase made of stone, you might get lost in the idea that you’re actually living like royalty. Which is exactly the type of attitude we encourage – take it a step further by having high tea out on the terrace, curling up on the period furniture with a classic novel after you’ve kindled a fire, or walking around the 30-hectare estate of woods and meadow in search of the perfect spot for tea and macarons. 

With plenty of space on offer, everyone is sure to find a nook that serves them just right and you might find yours in one of the palatial bedrooms or in a secluded spot in the garden where you can sit down at the bistro table with a glass of wine. 

Come together in and around the pool where you can dangle your feet into the crystal clear water or make use of one of the sunloungers. With seclusion comes peace and tranquillity and this home makes enjoying that environment to the fullest, easy – offering you every opportunity to spend lazy, sun-filled days in whichever way would make you the happiest. If that means exploring, then you can venture to beautifully restored towns such as Sarlat, Bergerac or Périgueux, and if it means golfing, you’d be happy to find a course minutes away. 

Purple Périgord Chateau

Breakfast Included

Safety Gates

When your mind wanders to sunnier climes, daydreaming about an escape to France, this is the kind of place you’ll find yourself imagining. This stunning villa has it all – a picturesque stone facade, rolling countryside views, and every comfort and luxury you could hope for. 

It’s in the heart of the Perigord countryside, with plenty to discover along the Dordogne. A day trip to the famous medieval town of Sarlat-la-Canéda is a must, with its gorgeous architecture and incredible food markets. Rent bikes from your host and explore the rich and verdant countryside surrounding the villa, taking picnics of local cheese and fresh bread to enjoy along the way. 

Of course, you may find that you’re entirely content to stay put most of the time – there’s enough to enjoy at the villa, after all. Wake up early and enjoy a quiet moment in the garden, sipping your coffee as the early-morning sun warms you. After a breakfast of fresh fruit and pastries, lie in the sun beside the pool, occasionally dipping a toe in to test the temperature. Swim beneath a cloudless blue sky, and play with the little ones on the lawn. This is an idyllic home, where rest and relaxation are the focus. 

In the evening, sip cocktails on the terrace as the sun begins to set. Let a private chef do the hard work in the kitchen, and settle in for a fabulous alfresco feast. Is there anything better than dining under the stars on a warm summer’s night?  


Stone Amid Hills

Heated Towel Rail

By sympathetically restoring this 17th-century chateau, this home strikes a beautiful balance between old and new. Find retro checkerboard floors next to modern farm-style appliances, and exposed beams and chandeliers sitting in sharp contrast with modern bathrooms. There is a beautiful harmony in all of the design choices and this sort of careful curation and attention to detail is a true credit to the host. 

Take advantage of the beautiful Aga and cook breakfast for everyone to enjoy alfresco. Of course, if you’d really like to live a life of luxury, you can arrange to have a private chef prepare meals that you can either savour in the striking dining room or out on the terrace. 

Bookworms will love the quiet of the library and office space where they can pass hours reading their favourite books or selecting something new off the shelves here. Others might find themselves entertained in the games room where they can shoot a few rounds of billiards whilst everyone else gathers in and around the private pool. 

With 32 acres at your disposal, walk the grounds in search of the many brooks, canals and ponds. You might even pack a thermos and some macaroons which you can sit down to devour once you’ve found the perfect spot. 

Spend sunny mornings, lazy afternoons, and starlit evenings appreciating all the beauty and tranquillity on offer at this home. Retire to one of the amazing bedrooms when you’re ready, but not before treating yourself to a bubble bath in the rolltop tub.

Begonia Pink & Periwinkle

This home is bursting with French rustic charm. The picturesque private grounds are perfect for family championships of badminton, table tennis and cricket. And parents can rest easy knowing the grounds are walled, so children can explore safely. We especially love the life-size chess set and large aquamarine pool on the adjoining grounds. The friendly owner lives next door to this home and is an excellent chef, so sit back and relax as you dine on an al-fresco French feast with the region’s famous truffles and wine from the local vineyards.

En Passant

A honey-coloured stone house in a dreamy riverside location in the Dordogne… Do French getaways get any better than this?

This beautiful house has been a family home for four generations, and you can feel the love that’s been poured into it. The decor is simple and bright so as not to take away attention from the traditional features like exposed stone walls. Wide windows look out onto the river, which is flanked by lush greenery and flowers. 

Wake to the bells of the small church opposite, and take breakfast on the terrace. There’s a romantic feel to this part of the world, particularly in the early morning when the haze still clings to the river. Sip your coffee and breathe in the tranquillity of the region. 

The house is only a six-minute drive from Limeuil, where the Vézère meets the Dordogne. The Panoramic Gardens have the most stunning views – after you’ve drunk in the vista, head to a bistro or cafe nearby. You might also like to paddle along the river, pulling into river beaches to soak up the sunshine – we like to set off from Le Buisson, which is eight minutes away by car. You’re in a great location for day trips of all kinds, whether you want to meander along the narrow medieval streets of Sarlat – forty-three minutes away – or sip local wine at Château de Monbazillac, which takes forty-four minutes in the car. 

Make sure to call in at the local food markets to sample the best produce in the area. After a day out seeing the sights, why not settle in for a family barbecue on the terrace? Splash around in the pool while the barbecue is heating up, and spend your evening under the stars. 


River View Cottage

When in France, it might feel like a cliché to stay in a château with six hectares of land in your kingdom. Well, we say long live clichés. This original 18th-century mansion is just a fifteen-minute walk from the medieval town of Dignac, where you can browse the market or stop in for a pastis. But your private estate offers plenty of reasons for you to stay put.

You’ve got panoramic vistas of the Aquitaine countryside to satisfy your appetite for the natural world, and striking architecture for you to marvel at man made wonder. The cream walls of the exterior stand out among the thick forests of the estate. Its grey pointed rooftops and turrets cast an imposing shadow onto your pool terrace. Dine alfresco on a balmy evening, or follow the steps up past an elegant balustrade to enter the home.

Original in every sense of the word, the entrance boasts vaulted ceilings, an oak staircase, and corniced ceilings. While tradition dominates the decor, we love the modern twists – wood-panelled walls painted pale blue and an inglenook used as a cavity for the hob. Not that you need to cook often, with a private chef on hand whenever you fancy.

Le Garde Forestier

Foosball / Table Football

Built in 1611, this elegant chateau is where historic grandeur meets contemporary luxury. Arriving to Le Roi through the classical iron gates, you’ll feel like royalty. With the option to dine under a magnificent chandelier with food prepared by your very own private chef in the gastronomical centre of France, this home is a real life fairy-tale. And with stunning grounds to explore and panoramic views of the French countryside, it’s certainly not short of space to relax and unwind. If you’re looking for that je-ne-sais-quoi, Le Roi has it all.

Le Roi

EV Charger

The Dordogne is a truly unique region. There aren’t many places where lush greenery, rolling rivers, and thick forests have prehistoric cave paintings hidden away in their landscapes. A fifty-minute drive from the ancient art of Lascaux, this stone-built villa might not be as old, but certainly offers old-world character.

Set in a garden full of native foliage and flowers, you can’t help but be drawn to its exteriors as soon as you arrive. At the centre, you’ll find a private, heated pool with sun loungers lining its terrace – the perfect spot for an afternoon glass of local Bergerac wine. Heat up the built-in barbecue while you head off to explore the interiors.

Rural charm is the first item on the agenda. Chunky timber beams, vintage-style armchairs, and a glorious wood-burning fireplace in a stone inglenook – could it get any more rustic? The country kitchen is ideal for when your private chef pays a visit, especially as you’ve got two separate formal dining areas, plus an alfresco terrace. And luxe continues upstairs, where the main bedroom boasts its own jacuzzi in the corner (maybe you should let someone else keep an eye on the barbecue). 

Timber & Truffle

This fully renovated, seventeenth-century presbytery honours its history without compensating on comfort. Original features – oak beams, stone walls and a beautiful original stone fireplace – are coupled with touches of modern luxury – a heated saltwater swimming pool and en-suite bathrooms for every bedroom – which creates a feeling of homely grandeur. A highlight is an on-site church which has been fully converted into a multi-functional hosting space, complete with hi-tech sound system and capacity for 30 seated guests. Nestled in the hills above the Dordogne river, there are walks and views aplenty at your doorstep.

Chapel Oak

Balcony / Rooftop Terrace

Meeting / Conference Rooms

Where do you even begin at an estate like this? Set in the rolling Dordogne countryside, just a few minutes by car from Saint-Julien-de-Lampon and the superb Dordogne River, it's a staggering prospect with two large homes, two swimming pools and two annexes. Sleeping up to twenty-two guests and with a picture-perfect chapel available for events, it's a once-in-a-lifetime setting for a very special celebration or a gathering of friends and family.

Around twenty-five minutes from the medieval city of Sarlat, this ancient hamlet has been lovingly maintained, creating both a comfortable, lived-in feel and an air of grandeur. With numerous seating areas, dining tables and indoor and outdoor entertaining spaces, your group can live the high life all together. 

One of our favourite spots has to be the living room in the four-bedroom home, with its exposed stone walls, beamed ceiling and huge fireplace – as well as panoramic views across the green valley. Plenty of character can be found upstairs, too, with dramatic vaulted ceilings and pretty bedrooms. Meanwhile, the larger of the two main homes has been converted more recently and has a more modern feel – and sits within a private walled garden.

It's perfectly possible to choose just one of the main homes if you're travelling as a smaller group, and there's an almost endless list of luxury add-ons if you're keen to take the work out of your stay – from private chefs and waitress service to daily breakfast and cleaning. And don't miss the chance to arrange boat hire on the nearby river for a day out to really remember.


All Your Wishes

Lush gardens surround this charming nineteenth-century holiday villa, whose wide, shuttered windows look out over the pretty greenery. Soak up the sun's rays on the terrace before wandering through the flowers and nearby orchard, or relax in front of the cosy fireplaces inside. If you feel like exploring the local area, you can also take a trip to nearby Bergerac, which is known for its many fine restaurants and vineyards. With a big kitchen and lots of space to relax, this home sets the tone for an idyllic French countryside holiday with friends or family.

Country Air

Sitting in the middle of vineyards and rolling fields, this home's location in the Dordogne is the French countryside at its most picturesque and the living quarters are totally in keeping with this bucolic scene. 

There's an inimitable rustic charm to the interior's wooden ceiling beams, rough-hewn walls and tiled floor, but don't let this fool you into thinking that it's old and weathered – the owner restored this building after taking ownership and there's a contemporary sheen that is testament to the care and attention it's received.

Step out the door and you'll see a comparatively recent addition to the address in the shape of the swimming pool that's sure to be appreciated during the warmer months. There are plenty of peaceful spots to relax in the sloping garden full of flowers and shrubs – a perfect setting for sampling some of the owner's wine that she produces herself.

When it comes to seeing a little more of this region, the nearest village is Saint Antoine de Breuilh only 3km away and Saint-Emilion – a UNESCO World Heritage Site – is a half-hour drive away. There are plenty of opportunities for outdoor excursions and hikes, as well as jaunts to medieval villages and chateaux, too.
