Villa Des Anges

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.

Enjoy gourmet dining experiences with our new Chef Service!
We’re now offering our customers the chance to enjoy some unforgettable eats with our new Chef Service! Choose from booking a single sumptuous meal with a private chef for that special occasion, or hire a chef to cook your meals for all or part of your holiday - it’s as flexible as it is delicious.

A) Single Meal Service: A chef will travel to this villa and whip up a fantastic meal for you and your guests. The chef will arrive with all the necessary ingredients as well as the talent to turn them into something unforgettable. They’ll serve the meal and clear up afterwards - an easy and entertaining way to enjoy a top quality meal in your very own villa!

B) Full Chef Service: If you really want to kick back and relax, we can arrange for a chef to cater for the duration of your holiday (or part of it). With a range of options from simple family catering to full-on haute cuisine, we can organise a meal plan and a price to suit your needs. So why worry about self-catering when you can have everything taken care of?

Of course, before booking this service, we suggest you contact the property owner as they might already offer a similar cook or chef service in-house. To find out more simply visit www.oliverstravels.com/chefs.

Villa Des Anges Reviews

• Beautiful Autumn Break

  Posted by Andrina S on 15/06/2017

  This is a gorgeous country stone cottage, set in the beautiful Dordogne and the hosts were very warm and welcoming. We visited in early October and the weather was beautiful. The mornings were chilly, but the views and mist across the fields was stunning. We ate outside under the al fresco dining terrace every evening and swam in the stunning pool. There is ample space for just 2 of you, with a lovely big kitchen, and all that you could need for entertaining if you had company.

  The area is absolutely stunning, with the beautiful Dordogne river running through the local town of Saint-Foy-la-Grande and medieval city of Bergerac a short drive away.

  A visit to the UNESCO world Heritage site of St-Emilion is a must, as well as sampling a never-ending array of fabulous wines. We loved it.

• We had a lovely time

  A lovely and relaxing time in a cosy cottage surrounded by beautiful countryside which we got to explore on the mountain bikes. We had a lovely time here, just what we both needed. We leave refreshed and revived. Thank you. (The cheese and wine was divine).

• Beautiful and relaxing Place

• Perfection!

  Created on 02/06/2016

  A warm welcome from delightful hosts and a delicious bottle of wine. The house is very comfortable, well-equipped with everything we needed, especially the spacious beds and bedrooms! The garden is stunning, located in beautiful surroundings with a lovely view over the fields. The pools was glorious and very inviting. The area boasts lots of interesting places to visit, especially Saint Emilion and its delicious wines. There is plenty of choice at the supermarkets and the local village shop is very handy. We left felling thoroughly relaxed and sad to leave this peaceful place in the sun. Merci Beaucoup!
