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.

Lovely property
Would highly recommend this stylish and well positioned villa in the Dordogne. It's in a remote location with a short drive to shops and other amenities, so ideal for getting away from the stress of everyday life. It's just what the doctor ordered! We had some issues with the shower, but the team came and fixed all issues immediately in a friendly and professional manner. Wonderful week.
Don't miss out! Reserve now and get a full refund if you change your mind within 48hrs.
