Overview
As you walk up the garden steps past the lemon tree, you’ll fall instantly in love with this decadent country villa in the Dordogne. Though it has been recently renovated for modern life, it retains the old French charm you expect and adore. From the sweeping marble staircase to the classic and clever indoor/outdoor kitchen and terrace, every feature has been beautifully designed to keep you and your guests in perfect comfort.
You’ll breathe easily in the vast gardens, where if you peek past the nearby trees you’ll find boundless views of the countryside. The swimming pool sits away from the main house in the shade - imagine doing laps here in privacy and silence, the wide sky opening above you. Peace and comfort rule the day at this French holiday villa - just as it should be.
You must visit Chateau Henri IV in Nérac (7 km), where the architecture dates back to medieval times. The birthplace of foie gras, Nérac has extraordinary local foods at the market on Saturdays. And of course, wineries are all around - the nearest airport is in Bordeaux, an hour and a half away. It's clear this holiday villa is an epicurean's delight.
What you should know…
- Small children should be supervised on the staircase and upstairs by the landing.
- Although you may find it hard to leave the villa, we recommend a car for touring the region.

Region
The pace of life in the Dordogne is languid, laid back and positively infectious. Relax in bucolic beauty as you drift along the Dordogne River, or wander among the forests and hillside of the Périgord Natural Park.
The foodie scene too, is a relaxed affair. Take your time over your lazy lunches of local duck, black truffles and goats cheese. If you’re feeling energetic, you can even hunt for them yourself. The wine here is second to none, with infamous grapes like Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Chenin Blanc all having a huge presence here.
The Dordogne is also brimming with history. Castles and chateaux are scattered throughout the region, among the enchanting medieval villages. History of an altogether more ancient sort can also be explored in the incredible prehistoric cave drawings of Lascaux and Grotte de Rouffignac.
