Dordogne Vacation Rentals

"This charming 18th century farmhouse has recently been completely renovated to make a very comfortable house, with lovely original features such as the exposed stone walls in the living room and kitchen, and attractive ceiling beams. The ground floor is on two levels; there are six steps down to the kitchen, and the three bedrooms are all on different levels too. The pool is fenced and the surrounding area comprises fields and woodland. The discreet owners live in the house next door (approx 30m away). As the house has been built on different levels there is a slight drop (about 1m) between the garden and the open terrace outside the kitchen, so small children should be watched.
The situation of this property makes it ideal for those wishing to be in the country, and yet it is just a few kilometres from the town of Sarlat with its narrow mediaeval streets, restored Gothic and Renaissance town houses and its famous Saturday market. The surrounding area is full of imposing châteaux, interesting caves, and delightful, small villages with cobbled streets; for the energetic, a day’s canoeing down the river is a must!

"The delightful hamlet of St Julien is at the end of a very minor road leading nowhere except to the edge of the river Dordogne, only a short walk from this house. The village is charming, with the ‘lauze’ (stone-tiled) roofs of the region in abundance. The nearby town of Domme is most beautiful, perched high up on a rock with panoramic views across the river to La Roque-Gageac. The house has been totally renovated to a high standard and in good taste. It is located in a quiet lane with a delightfully private, walled terrace to the rear with built-in barbecue and a small area of lawn. The living area is on the ground floor and the remaining rooms are on the first.

"Situated between the towns of Beynac, with its magnificent château, and Sarlat, a very picturesque and historic town, this pretty cottage offers an attractive base from which to explore this delightful area. The setting is somewhat unusual in that the house is built against a rocky outcrop, complete with its own little “grotto” - an exciting haven for children to play in, or a wonderfully cool place to park the car! A little-used lane passes between the cottage and the meadow opposite and passing traffic will be scarce as it provides access to just two other houses. A little local train may be heard in the distance twice a day but we doubt you will even notice it.

"This comfortable, first floor apartment overlooks the square in the village of Domme, one of the oldest bastide villages in the Dordogne. It has two bedrooms and a very spacious kitchen/dining room which has a lovely view over terracotta roof-tops to the hillside beyond; the sitting room is smaller but comfortable, with a sofa and easy chairs and views across the square. The owner lives on the ground floor and has her own completely separate entrance.
Domme is wonderfully situated on a rocky crag overlooking the Dordogne river. As the village holds much historic interest, it is naturally much visited during the summer months, and to save the inconvenience of looking for parking, the garage will doubtless be much appreciated during that time. The other seasons are much quieter and the village returns to its normal sleepy pace.

"This delightful house is in the beautiful village of la Roque-Gageac, perched right on the banks of the river Dordogne. A well-renovated traditional Périgourdin property, it is set high up and away from the road running through the village, with lovely views over the river. The property owners have an eye for detail, and the interior is comfortable and well decorated whilst retaining traditional features of exposed stonework and beams. The kitchen is suberb, and the bedroom on the lower ground floor has two twin four-poster beds with a sitting area by the window with river views. There are two open terraces either side of the house and the parking facilities are approx 300m away. The situation allows one to enjoy all the benefits of this privileged setting without disturbance from visitors to the village below.

"Few visitors to the Dordogne have not been to this beautiful river-side village and gazed in bewilderment at the huddle of houses built under (and some into) the towering cliffs above. The property we are offering is reputedly the oldest in the village and having been recently renovated, is full of charm and character. Decorated with country chintz fabrics and solid traditional-style furniture, there are also good pine beds and tastefully tiled bathrooms: the effect is very pleasing. It is approached by a pathway of gentle steps from the street below, which go on up to the celebrated church and its tropical garden at the top. There is exterior access into the lower level of the house, the principal entrance being at the middle level via a walled/gated courtyard at the back of the house. The fitted kitchen has good storage space and tiled work-tops. There is a log-burning stove here, as there is in the sitting room, which has good comfortable seating and access, via french windows, onto a large balcony/terrace with shady grapevine and river views. There is a continuous staircase linking the three floors which, though of spiral design, is not particularly awkward. The upper floor double bedroom has french windows onto an unguarded patio, over the courtyard. With restaurants, river swimming, canoeing and boat trips in the village, this is a wonderful spot to “throw away” the car keys, and enjoy!
Lower level: (steep spiral stairs down): double bedroom; twin bedroom; bathroom/WC. Middle level: kitchen/dining room; sitting room; large cloakroom/ WC. Upper level: double bedroom; twin bedroom; shower/WC.
