Stay in a characterful Dordogne abode with its own heated swimming pool and rural views, only a 5-minute drive to Monpazier, one of France’s ‘Plus Beaux Villages’.

We love how the original features of Maison Saint Pierre exude such charm from the thick stone walls that keep the interiors cool in the summertime to the exposed wood beams across the spacious lounge and garden room. Yet there are also ample modern touches including a 65-inch Smart TV with Netflix, a bright kitchen for preparing wonderful meals, and reverse-cycle air-conditioning throughout the home.

One master en suite double and two twins that share a contemporary bathroom with walk-in Italian shower allows up to six guests to stay in this comfortable home. A maison next door is also rented out by the owner if you need extra space – please enquire for prices and availability.

Outside in the south-facing garden you can make the most of the heated salt-water swimming pool or simply relax on the al-fresco terrace, then fire up the barbecue. With open grounds, there’s a feeling of rural calm as you look out towards the trees, étang and countryside landscapes.

Picture-perfect Monpazier, one of the Dordogne’s most beautifully preserved bastide villages, is only 6km away by car. The 700-year old Thursday morning market is a joy and there are many excellent restaurants and pretty shops.

Other Dordogne gems include picturesque Issigeac with its Sunday morning market, the historic towns of Belvès and Beaumont-du-Périgord as well as Bergerac and its Maison des Vins. Picnic by the banks of the Dordogne or hire canoes in Le Buisson-de-Cadouin, under half an hour away, and venture towards the gorgeous riverside villages of Beynac-et-Cazenac, La Roque-Gageac and Domme.

Heading south towards the Lot River, visit much-loved spots such as Monflanquin, Puy-l'Évêque whilst wine-lovers will be keen to spend the day in Cahors, such a handsome town surrounded by Malbec-producing vineyards creating some of the finest wines in the world.

What you should know…

  • There is another 3-bedroom house next door to Maison Saint Pierre – it is part of the same building but the grounds are partially divided by an unoccupied 100m2 barn to avoid any noise disturbances from each pool. It is rented out separately by the same owner – if in need of extra space, please enquire for details and pricing.
  • The owners also lives on site in a separate house.
  • If travelling with youngsters, do note the grounds are unenclosed so they will need to be supervised as they play outside.

Close to the border between the Dordogne and Lot-et-Garonne, Maison Saint Pierre is only 6km from Monpazier, one of France’s classified ‘Plus Beaux Villages’ and just half an hour south of the Dordogne River.

The property (Maison Saint Pierre, it’s neighbouring rental and the owners) is in a small hamlet in an otherwise rural setting of glorious countryside and woodland with an étang (large pond) just beyond the unfenced grounds.

A five-minute drive takes you to the 13th century bastide village of Monpazier, such a beautiful place with its exquisitely preserved medieval heritage and arcaded square which hosts a centuries-old market on a Thursday morning as well as a flower market in May. There are several restaurants in the village as well as pretty shops; it’s beauty and ambience attracts visitors from across the Dordogne.

Other significant Dordogne villages and towns include Issigeac (35km) with its gorgeous Sunday morning market, the bastide towns of Belvès and Beaumont-du-Périgord, both around a 20-minute drive away, and of course historic Bergerac (50km), known for its picturesque riverside setting, boat trips along the Dordogne, Maison des Vins and surrounding vineyards including Château de Monbazillac just south of the town.

Also on the banks of the Dordogne, Le Buisson-de-Cadouin (26km) is a good spot for riverside picnics and canoeing/kayaking or head further east towards picture-perfect villages and impressive Dordogne châteaux around Beynac-et-Cazenac, La Roque-Gageac and Domme, all within a 45-minute drive.

This location also benefits from the wonderful landscapes of the Lot-et-Garonne and Lot departments to the south and more idyllic places such as Monflanquin (28km), Villeréal (20km), Puy-l'Évêque (30km) and even Cahors (58km), a handsome historic town with excellent restaurants and famous vineyards producing some of the finest Malbecs in the world.

The lovely honey-coloured houses of Gourdon (45km) and the incredible scenery of Rocamadour (74km), an important pilgrimage site since the middle ages, are both ideal for a fantastic day out across this diverse and fascinating part of southern France.

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.

Kids

Best Suited For: All Ages
Ideal for Kids Ideal for Teens

The Dordogne has been loved for families for years thanks to its glorious landscapes, historic bastide villages and wealth of activities for every age.

Just over a 15-minute drive away, Parc en Ciel is a popular family attraction with tree-top trails, mini-golf, a playground and summer swimming in its bathing pond on summer afternoons in July and August (and some June and September weekends).

Le Buisson-de-Cadouin is a lovely spot for riverside picnics and canoeing along the Dordogne whilst some of the grand châteaux along the river will surely impress young historians. Heading towards Bergerac, Château de Bridoire is especially popular with families with its maze and child-friendly games and activities.

Bergerac itself is a lovely day out with the family – as well as admiring its beautiful setting and architecture, take a boat trip along the Dordogne on a traditional gabarre, a fine way to appreciate the town, river and all its beauty.
