If the world has made you weary, an escape to this villa in the Dordogne will set things right again. The detached spa building features a Jacuzzi and Finnish-style sauna, where your tension will melt away. Once you’ve had enough heat, take a dip in the private pool surrounded by flowers. Inside, you’ll feel you’ve stepped into the pages of a magazine; sense of relaxed elegance pervades this three bedroom country charmer. And always, the outdoor spaces will call you to come breathe deeply among the trees.
Located in the commune of Vézac, you’ll find no shortage of idyllic sights to see nearby: the gardens of Château de Marqueyssac are only 3 km away. We also recommend visiting Sarlat (5 km), a medieval town with gardens and an excellent market where you’ll sample the region’s specialties of foie gras, confit d'oie, and mushrooms.
Sporting types will find all manner of activities to suit them; drive 6 km to Vitrac to rent bicycles, or ride horses, golf or go to the riverside beach. Long days spent touring and sporting in the French countryside demand a holiday villa where you can seamlessly refresh and recharge - Les Cypres.

Un plaisir !
C'est la deuxième fois que nous venons séjourner ici. Nous avions été tellement enchantés par notre séjour de l'année dernière que nous n'avons pas réfléchi longtemps pour savoir où loger pour ces nouvelles vacances en Dordogne. La villa est idéalement située pour rayonner sur un nombre important de sites majeurs de la préhistoire, mais aussi de nombreux châteaux, sans parler des activités inépuisables de loisirs aux alentours. La villa par elle-même est très confortable, extrêmement bien entretenue, très bien équipée, et les propriétaires sont d'une gentillesse et d'une prévenance infinies... Nous reviendrons avec plaisir lors d'un prochain voyage dans la région.

Very comfortable & ideally located
We had an excellent holiday here. The owner’s welcome was warm and very useful. Throughout our stay, the owners were very willing and able to help us with any questions we had.
The location is perfect, the house is well equipped and the spa is a real treat. Unfortunately we couldn’t enjoy the swimming pool as the outside temperatures were a little too low for us to risk it (April time)! The surroundings are very calm with an enclosed garden which is ideal for the children.
The house is conveniently located, making visiting the surrounding area very easy. There are many sights worth visiting only 15 mins drive from the house. A little further is Lascaux, La Roque Saint Christophe, Les Eyzies etc (about 40mins).

Magnificent
The region is magnificent and the house is within easy reach of many tourist attractions suitable for all age groups. The house is lacking of nothing! We were warmly greeted and enjoyed the facilities, especially the Jacuzzi, sauna and swimming pool.
