This beautifully renovated sixteenth century farmhouse with sweeping grounds is perfectly suited to a large family or group. Children will love the play room and football goals in the garden, and a couple of the bedrooms are especially designed for kids. The heated salt-water swimming pool really makes this home stand out for us, as does the air-conditioned barn – available for an additional fee – complete with a range of fitness equipment and pool table. Be aware however, that four of the bedrooms and three of the bathrooms are in annexes separate from the main house.

Situated in the Lot department, just south of the Dordogne River, this cosy 18th-century home is a wonderful place from which to explore the enchanting Occitanie region. 

Inside, original timber beams and stone walls have been lovingly restored to create a warm and inviting ambience. We loved the convivial living space with its squashy sofa and fully-equipped kitchen – ideal for those who like to flex their culinary muscles. When you’re not playing board games at the dining table, you’ll be out on the terrace, sipping a café au lait and watching the day pass by. 

Spend afternoons playing badminton before cooling off with a swim in the private pool. Later on, take the bicycles out for a spin through the surrounding countryside or why not jump in the car and explore the quaint medieval town of Sarlat-la-Canéda – it’s only a thirty-minute drive away.

A delightfully restored rectory in the Dordogne valley, this charming home provides peace and quiet for a family or group of friends wanting to slow down and switch off. Surrounded by manicured lawns that are perfect for picnics, you’ll spend mornings on the wraparound terrace listening to the birds sing in the fresh countryside air. When the temperature starts to rise, cool off with a dip in the inviting pool before heading inside to put together a tasty lunch for your loved ones. 

We loved the rustic interiors; exposed stone walls, terracotta-tiled floors and timber beams infuse an organic warmth throughout. Steal a moment for yourself in the cosy living space before retreating to the main bedroom for an afternoon snooze beneath double-height ceilings. If exploring is on the agenda, jump in the car and visit the nearby towns and villages – we were particularly fond of Gourdon, a twenty-minute drive away, as well as the craggy limestone plateaus of Causses du Quercy Natural Regional Park, reached in no more than thirty minutes.

Formerly a nineteenth-century farm, this enchanting renovated hamlet gives you a glimpse of the past while providing the setup for modern and luxurious countryside living. It's perfect for everyone, whether you're hoping to experience long summer days by the pool followed by a moonlit banquet, a roman bath followed by a massage, or simply curling up with a good book by the fire.

With three buildings to choose from, a spa and a pool house, you'll feel right at home in this little private village. Gather in the field for an outdoor yoga session, go for a game of petanque on the green, take a hot bath in the tub overlooking the gardens or throw a barbecue for everyone. The possibilities are endless and your days will be anything but mundane.

Looking to explore further afield? You'll be surrounded by the quaint and picturesque French villages of the region of Aveyron – traditional stone houses, regional markets packed with vibrant local delicacies, vineyards covering the province and outdoor activities surrounded by nature. It's a feast for the senses and you'll be more than satiated.

The Village over the Road

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.

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.

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

Home Cinema Setup

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.

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.

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

In a picturesque rural setting, set on thirty acres of flower-filled grounds shared with just one other maison, this romantic home beckons. While away the days in your private pool with the southern French sun on your skin, or chill out indoors surrounded by charming original features.

With wood-beamed ceilings and exposed stone walls, this home is the epitome of country chic – especially when you consider its contemporary furnishings. The owners have balanced out the rustic decor with sleek lighting, modern wall art and an industrial-style kitchen. Here, keen cooks will find everything they need to prepare a delicious meal with fresh local produce (your host will happily help you fill the fridge). Enjoy your creation al fresco with the sounds of nature for company.

While you're in the area, why not treat yourself to a tour of local vineyards? This region is home to some of the country's finest wineries, after all. Cahors on the River Lot is just half an hour away – saunter through the manicured gardens and take home a bottle of the town's famously rich red wine.

Roses & Stone

Shared Pool

Once used as a workshop by a local carpenter, this stone cottage has been lovingly restored to its former glory by his daughter.  The intimate terrace, jacuzzi and swimming pool are the highlights of this idyllic hideaway. Couples can get a taste of Dordogne by shopping for truffles and Foie Gras at the medieval market town of Sarlat or strolling through The Marqueyssac gardens. Lovers of history will enjoy visiting local Châteaux, prehistoric cave paintings and the Roman artefacts at Vesunna.
