The Aquitaine / Dordogne / Dordogne region

The Dordogne area of France is still unspoiled and perfect for getting away from it all. The countryside surrounding our house is wonderfully peaceful and our terrace gives wonderful views of rolling hills and valleys and stunning views of sunflowers in the summer. There are lovely rivers for canoeing and the vineyards of St Emilion and Bergerac are only an hour or so away.

There are several golf courses within driving distance - the nearest at Aubeterre is about 15 minutes drive away.

The house is set in a small rural hamlet called Champagnac which sits astride a ridge with lovely views. The old village of Vanxains, with its boulangerie and post office nestles in the valley below and is only a short drive away - you can also cycle or walk to it. Riberac, a bustling town is five miles away. It has all kinds of shops, hypermarkets, great restaurants and other facilities such as tennis, canoeing and horse riding. The famous Friday market at Riberac is a must for visitors and is as much a social occasion as a shopping opportunity.

The Riberac / Vanxains area

Aubeterre, a very old and very beautiful village is only 15 minutes drive away (you can bike it if you are feeling energetic) Other activities such as golf and horse riding are also nearby. There are lots of other lovely places to explore. Brantome, Bergerac, Perigueux and St Emilion are all less than an hour’s drive away and are brilliant for shopping and sightseeing.

There are many excellent restaurants within easy reach offering good quality and great value food. Our house has a detailed ‘house book’ which will give you all the information to make the most of your stay.

However you choose to travel to the Dordogne, you really need a car when you’re there to get the most out of what the area has to offer.
We usually come by ferry and drive down - our favourite route is Brittany Ferries' Portsmouth to St Malo which makes it an easy 320 mile drive. But if you want to cut down on the driving, some of today’s airfares make fly/drive much more affordable. We love travelling into Bergerac (Flybe and Ryanair), which is about an hour away. It’s such a small airport you can often do plane to hire car in about 15 minutes!

TRULY FANTASTIC!

A truly fantastic and well equipped villa, in one of the most relaxing settings with beautiful views. From enjoying the pool to visiting some lovely places in the area... we had a great holiday and are looking forward to going back!

The first thing that strikes you about Les Hortensias is the truly spectacular all-embracing rural view. If you want to 'chill out' this is the place to be. The house is deceptively spacious - the exterior photo does not do it justice. The kitchen is exceptionally well-equipped - no need to take anything with you at all. The sitting room has satellite television which was vital for the well-being of our sons during the World Cup! In the bedrooms there are comfy beds and squashy pillows and good-sized wardrobes. The weather was scorching and the good-sized pool was much used by all of us. We also had many happy meals outside on the terrace under the pergola. Everything is wonderfully tended here. Riberac is a short drive away for shopping at the superstore or market and Bergerac airport just an hour for those who wish to fly. There are plenty of places to visit nearby such as Aubeterre and Brantome. All in all a wonderful place to holiday - this is somewhere a bit special. We will be back!

I have had a most wonderful two weeks here with my family. We have had super weather and have played in the swimming pool almost every hour of the day - a most perfect holiday.

Our two week holiday in Les Hortensias has been splendid. the house is beautiful and the children have enjoyed the swimming pool. The view and the countryside have been relaxing and we've really got away from the busy life.

We've had a wonderful two weeks here in a very warm and comfortable house. Linda has created a lovely 'home from home' and Madame Sudret has been most kind and helpful.
