About the home

Near to Sarlat, Domme and Les Eyzies in the Perigord Noir, la Maison de Gardien is ideally situated both to explore the wealth of local history and culture or simply to relax and enjoy the river or the swimming pool.

In the hamlet of Les Milandes, the cottage sits above the Dordogne river. Open plan kitchen and dining area with wood floors and a few steps leading up to the sitting room with exposed beams and its own door onto the terrace.

There is one twin bedroom with en suite bathroom and wc and one double with en suite shower & wc which are charmingly decorated in the French style. Both rooms have wooden floors and bathrooms are tiled.

Facilities

Further details indoors:
There are two en suite bedrooms with oak floors overlooking the pretty courtyard that used to be the square of the hamlet but now privately owned by the owners. Each bedroom leads into the well equipped kitchen with wooden units and the dining area leads onto the charming terrace. The Salon is accessed from the kitchen and has armchairs and a sofa bed if needed.

Description outside property: le Maison de Gardien was originally the gatekeeper's cottage and adjoins L'Arc en Ciel with which it shares the swimming pool but a dividing wall ensures that it retains its independence with separate terraces and entrance.

The Aquitaine / Dordogne / Dordogne region

Conveniently located near to the enchanting Perigord Noir towns of Sarlat, Domme and Les Eyzies, Les Milandes is ideally located to explore the regions' wealth of history and culture. Famous for gastronomic specialties including foie gras and truffles, the region boasts an array of vineyards, the fruits of which can be sampled in one of the many enjoyable restaurants nearby. Alternatively, the area is ripe for relaxation with the river banks to enjoy, quaint villages to discover and the impressive chateaux that line the banks of the Dordogne River to explore.

Sarlat itself must one of the medieval "gems" of Europe. Enjoy a coffee in the Place in Sarlat and imagine yourself transported back in time. It now enjoys good shops, several excellent restaurants and is lovely to just explore as around every corner you will find another sight to take your breath away.

The Sarlat / Les Milandes area

The Chateau des Milandes overlooks the Dordogne river and was home to Josephine Baker. She awed Paris with her flamboyant revues in the first half of the twentieth century and later moved to Les Milandes where she famously adopted twelve children known as the "Rainbow Tribe". The Chateau now features an exhibition to her extraordinary life as well as parkland and formal French gardens. Well worth a visit, there are also falconry displays and a small restaurant.

Spend a day meandering down the river passing magnificent medieval castles, old stone bridges and breathtaking scenery - it's really lovely and you can enjoy a picnic on its banks.

You can also partake in a variety of outdoor activities including ballooning and flying, canoeing, caves, cycling, fishing, golf, markets, riding, tennis and vineyards.
