The Aquitaine / Dordogne / Dordogne region

The Dordogne region in the South west of France is still one of the most beautiful unspoilt regions in Europe, from rolling hills with vineyards and sunflowers and fruit and veg. of every description , to flowing rivers where canoeing and fishing and any other water sport can be enjoyed , the markets are the best farmer markets in France with Riberac considered one of the best (10 kms away)Beautiful villages in any direction( Aubeterre just 8kms away one of the prettiest villages in France with the largest monolithic underground church in Europe , with the quaint streets lined with artisan shops ) St Emillion , a medieval village famous world wide for its red wines is situated on a hill overlooking the Dordogne valley .

Les Simons is in the beautiful diverse Dordogne , but on the cusp of the Charante which has distinct countryside of its own , beautiful beaches within less than 2 hours , world famous Royan and La Rochelle just up the autoroute for a different day out with unsurpassed views of the French farming communities .

Bordeaux is less than 2hrs down the auto route , its like a smaller version of Paris ,(great shopping) with its famous Medoc wine area Chateau Margaux and Rothchild to mention just a few , if you are interested in Wines or just curious great day out .

The Riberac / St Paul Lizonne area

Riberac is the closest big town with everything you might need , huge supermarkets , shops , best markets in the areas , and all kinds of leisure activities .It is situated on the river Donne so has all kinds of river activities , there are great restaurants , thai , italian and of course French in all price ranges , we found great choices of food and great service and even if you are dont speak French most people speak a little bit of English and the menus are often translated , no problem ordering .

Down the hill from the house is a little village St Severin 1.5kms with Spar supermarket , restaurant and Boulangerie .

Around the corner on the way into the village is a hotel restaurant owned by a really nice young couple , they have 9 on suite rooms and run one of the best restaurant we have ever eaten in , the chef is English and the food is all fresh and mostly home grown with an excellent choice for the English palate with an French flair.

Cheap flights to Bergerac , (less than an hour ) to Limoges 110 Km. , Bordeaux 125 Km , Poitiers 140 Km ,
the airports are small and it is possible to be in your rent -a -car on your way through the beautiful Dordonge within 15 mins .

France has a really great road system , easy to find your way even if you do not speak French, the long distance traveller can travel the auto routes which are fast and not congested so if you decide like many others to come by Eurotunnel or ferry ( the choices are extensive, Calais , St Malo, Caen, La Rochelle ,Cherburg etc ) check whats best for you , and can be a lovely way to see France and get ready for a week by the pool .

“Best ever holiday - brilliant value!” We stayed for a week from 18-8-12 and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We are a family of four and would have to say this was one of our best holidays together, as the house, the superb and clean... more

“HOT!” Concur with all the positive comments and agree the owners have thought of it all - clean, welcoming, bright and airy and honour system is refreshing! BUT As always in France we were blessed... more

“total chillout holiday” Loved the place, especially the pool and surrounding area. Very well equiped and comfortable and the way it is managed by Geraldine on the "honour system" I think is great and saves a lot of hassel from people wanting extra money for cleaning, electricity, water etc. which we have encountered in other places we have stayed - you pay one amount and thats it, great !! Loved the walks around the village, especially following the yellow "boucle" signs and also the meal we had a the Vielle Maison which was excellent. Helene helped us with the BBQ when we couldn't get it going - quite fun as we speak only a small amount of french and she speaks no english - but we got there with gestures and a few laughs.Missing it totally as we are back home in the rain!!!

“Simply the Best” This was three friends on an alternative getaway to watch the opening week of Euro 2012 - the property is situated in a lovely area which is pretty and rural with very friendly people locally. The property is in excellent condition with accommodation of a very high standard - all requirements are catered for - fabulous kitchen, great barbecue - pool is outstanding - great information provided and it was an absolute pleasure to stay there! Response: tHANK YOU STUART FOR YOUR LOVELY REWIEW? CHEERS GERALDINE

“Absolutely fab” We booked this villa for one week - not enough! A month would have been just right, or a lifetime! The property was superb, well equipped, spacious and a pool to die for. Help was at hand in the form of a wonderful lady called Helene who took the pool maintenance company to task with a small niggle we had (it did NOT spoil our stay at all)! The area is fantastic - think Britain 40 years ago and you won't go far wrong. Lots and lots to see and do, for the first time in my considerable long life, I was not looking forward to going home at the end of the holiday. The owners are a dream to deal with - so helpful and accommodating - you will never regret choosing this property, or this area - I envy anyone who manages to get here before I book again. Response: THANK FOR YOUR LOVELY REVIEW , SINCERELY GERALDINE

“A lovely property with a calm and tranquil feel - great for families.” 'Les Simons' is a great choice for those who really want to get away from the crowds and enjoy a peaceful holiday in a quiet setting. We found the accommodation very comfortable offering a good range of facilities and a large open plan kitchen come dining area. The weather was sunny and allowed us to take full advantage of the large pool and also enjoy many evenings relaxing on the patio after a barbeque. It was just a ten minute walk into St. Severin where a local market was held every week . Our children enjoyed their visits to the english bookstore and the mini-golf in St. Severin.. We enjoyed many day trips to interesting and historiical places including Riberac, Perigeaux, St. Emilion, Sarlat and also the historic caves of Lascaux. We hope to retorn here in the near future as we really enjoyed our two week stay .

“A calm and quiet little gem.” We stayed at this property over the Christmas period, but we will definitely be returning. The gite has absolutely everything you need. The owners have thought of it all, and it's a real home from home. It's very clean, welcoming, bright and airy. Personally I also like the idea that the owners don't take a cleaning/damage deposit, just leave as you find, and if you happen to break something, replace/repair it. Simple. The kitchen, dining room and lounge are open plan and spacious. The bathroom and bedrooms are also generous sizes. We sat out and had a bbq on Christmas day, which was great. There is plenty of garden furniture for dining and relaxing. The pool is huge, we will definitely be returning in the summer with our children!!!! Response: Thank you for your great review , especially since you are a Winter guest

“Brilliant - wanted to come back in 2011 but was booked up” We had a fantastic time, luckily the weather was still good, we were able to swim and have bbqs. The accommodation was perfect and the lovely lady caretaker was so helpful and accommodating. Within short distance of local restaurants and shops, not forgetting the market, which was amazing. We made the effort to acknowledge the local people who were very helpful and spoke more English than we anticipated - shame on us English!! We did not want to come home a week wasn't long enough. I have already put this on my facebook page. This lovely place has a very friendly, family feel to it. Response: Thank you for taking the time for the 5 star review

“Idyllic location - superb property - easy to deal with.” We had a really great time. Perfect location with access to the wonderful countryside but within reach of the cosmopolitan Bordeaux. Try Brantome, Riberac or Bergerac - explore and enjoy. Property exactly as described - comfortable, clean and stylish with great pool. The hotel up the road great for meal out or relaxing drink. We had total privacy - we don't want overbearing owners - we left the place after a thorough clean, as we found it - treat property as you would expect yourself. 5 stars says it all. Response: Thank you for your lovely response
