Home description
Visit la-gorce.com . There are three buildings set around a courtyard: a grand house decorated with fine antiques, a two-storey luxury 17th century stone cottage with one bedroom, and a single-storey luxury one-bedroom Bungalow, which was converted from a stone barn. The cottage and bungalow are available for lettings. The property was totally renovated in 2003 under leading Parisian architect Jean-Pierre Sfez.
The homes are set amid three acres (over a hectare) of parkland, with many fruit trees including apples, cherries, figs, peaches, pears, kiwi fruit, passion fruit, walnuts and chestnuts. Guests may pick and eat as much fruit as they like. Guests also have the use of two bikes to ride around the surrounding vineyards, or down to the little village of Pessac-sur-Dordogne (2km) to buy morning croissants or rent a canoe to paddle down the river. Several supermarkets are only a five minute drive away.
The estate is ideally located for daytrips to Bordeaux (1h), St. Emilion (20 min.), Libourne (30 min.), Perigeux (30 min.) or Bergerac (30 min.). Visit one of the countless wine chateaus in the area. You can even buy wine for just over a euro per litre one km. away!
