Home description
Have a look at our website! Visit la-gorce.com . There are three buildings set around a courtyard: a grand manor 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. At the back of the manor there is a 2 bedroom gite of 80 m2 called the atelier, for which this is the advert. The cottage, bungalow and atelier are available for lettings. The property was totally renovated in 2003-2007 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!
Help is available in fluent English, French, German or Dutch by the owner of La Gorce, Mark de Vries.
