Les Crecerelles
About the home
Les Crécerelles is a restored farm cottage ideally located between Perigueux and Riberac in the valley of the River Dronne. Set in an elevated position, this south-west facing property enjoys Dronne valley views, yet is within minutes from shops and river walks, a restaurant is just a short appetizing walk away from the cottage.
A private swimming pool is adjacent to the house and the secluded sun terrace. Walnuts can be picked from the tree in the garden, or just relax on the hammocks in its shade. Sunset dining is a must on the terrace after an evening swim. The ever changing landscape views of orchards, sunflower and maize fields below the cottage are a pleasant reminder of French rural life
This charming cottage is equipped with satellite TV, DVD & CD, yet retains its original features and charm. The oak beamed farmhouse kitchen, dining room has a stone fireplace with log burner for those cosy winter nights.
