Pretty stone cottage
About the home
This newly converted gite, believed to date from the eighteenth century, stands with two other former farm buildings, one being a former stone cow barn, where the owners now spend their holidays, the other being a poorly fabricated barn, which is next on the list for appropriate conversion/rebuild.
The gite is set on two levels on a sloping site, typical of the area. The entrance is accessed at the upper level via a set of stone steps arriving at a secure sun terrace.
The entrance gives access to the main living area comprising kitchen diner and lounge. This space is light and airy with exposed roof timbers with painted decorated walls with natural stone gable. There is a solid oak wood floor with ample power and lighting points.
A newly installed kitchen provides both base and wall units. The dining area provides an oak table with seating for 4/5 persons.

Enquire nowThe Aquitaine / Dordogne / Dordogne region
The Dordogne, or Périgord, region is one of the most beautiful parts of France traditionally with fine summers. It is well known to the French for its food and wine, leading to the saying, En Périgord, on mange bien, on boit bien. As the home of truffles and foie gras, it is an area where a visitor can eat extremely well in countless excellent and inexpensive restaurants. Just east of Bordeaux, it is also noted for its own vineyards, producing St. Emillion, Bergerac, Pécharmant, and Monbazillac. For relaxing at home, local markets provide treats such as strawberries, raspberries, asparagus, walnut cake and oils, olives and cheese. The region is famous for over a thousand castles, of which most date back to the Hundred Years' War that ravaged the region in the 13th century. As the centre of prehistory in France, the Dordogne has stunning cave paintings at Lascaux, les Eyzies and numerous other sites and is recognised as a world heritage site. The museum at Les Eyzies is well worth a visit.
The Sarlat area
Sarlat, one of the most fascinating and beautifully restored towns in France, offering the atmosphere and appearance of another age, with narrow steep alleys flanked by Medieval and Renaissance houses in honey-coloured stone tpped with massive stone slated roofs. It has more historic buildings than any other place of its size in France, and is the only town to be given three stars by the Michelin guides solely for the quality and ambience of its old town. It has one of the biggest weekly markets in France, which takes over most of the town every Saturday. There is a market on a Wednesday as well. Take a stroll through the old town on summer evenings, enjoying various 'animations' such as mimes and musicians by the gaslight lamps. All summer there are wonderful music festivals in nearby towns, while Sarlat has an open-air theatre festival in the market square in late July, the seating provides a roof top view of the stage. There is an international film festival in October.
