Named after the 6th century saint who founded a monastery on the site that is now the medieval town of Saint-Yrieix-la-Perche, this elegant 18th century townhouse’s original character blends harmoniously with contemporary touches and design. Original parquet flooring, beautiful old fire-places and wood-beamed ceilings create a warm ambience in the home whilst modern features add to the impressive style.
Furnished to a very high standard, rooms feature both antique and modern pieces whilst sumptuous beds with 100% cotton linen and splashes of colour adorn the five pretty bedrooms. Even the four bathrooms stylishly combine the old and the new. Throughout this home you’ll be amazed by the intricate and original detail contrasting twenty-first century design.
Step out of your historic home and admire the 13th century church and pretty fountain in the town square, then wander a few steps to explore the restaurants and charming shops Saint-Yrieix has to offer. A characterful place with a fascinating history, this really is a charming medieval town to explore. You may even be lucky to stay during a bustling market day twice a month, offering some of the exquisite delicacies that this region has to offer.
The owner is on hand nearby to tell you all about the surrounding area, arrange private tours if you wish, organise wine-tastings or simply reserve the best restaurants for you. He has after all worked as a concierge in one of London’s finest hotels for many years and his experience and welcoming personality will ensure you have the finest stay.
Take the train to visit the old city of Limoges or drive out to the beautiful countryside nearby, part of the Perigord-Limousin Regional Natural Park with its unspoiled landscapes, impressive castles and delightful villages and towns to explore. Highlights include the market town of Thiviers, Saint-Jean-de-Côle or lovely Corgnac-sur-l'Isle where you can hire canoes in wonderful surroundings. It goes without saying that this whole region offers great hiking and cycling opportunities as well as golf, horse-riding and fishing.
Head further south and you can be visiting some of the Dordogne’s most loved destinations such as Périgueux, Sarlat-la-Canéda and pretty riverside villages like Domme and Limeuil.
