Water-babies take note, the heart of this villa in the Dordogne is the cool blue swimming pool. The shady poolside kitchen and bathroom mean that you can lounge outside all day, soaking in the sun of the French countryside. The games room off the pool will delight kids and adults alike. Inside this clean, renovated converted farmhouse holds 4 bedrooms, a casual eat-in kitchen, and comfortable sitting areas for those lazy holiday evenings.

Though it's tempting, you don't have to stay home! The local area is full of ways to unwind - golf, horseback riding, water sports, and more are all close to your holiday villa. The nearest town is Gardonne (3 km), where you’ll find several bars and restaurants.

A little farther down the river lies the most vibrant city in the area, Bergerac (14 km), also home to the nearest airport. You can learn about the region’s tobacco and wine industries in the museums here, or take a more practical approach at the dozens of wineries lying just outside the city. Afterward you can take in a glitzy Folies Bergère style show at Le Music Hall. In the Dordogne (whatever you choose) your holiday can't go wrong.
