Beyond the gates and beautiful garden, Maison Notre Dame offers a nostalgic step back in time. This former Maison de Maître stands proudly in the heart of Ribérac, its shuttered windows and traditional stone façade a quiet tribute to classical French architecture.
Within its walls, a gentle elegance unfolds - rooms are generous and character shines, from old paintings and traditional furnishings to the low-beams and antique touches. The toll of nearby church bells punctuates the day with an old-world rhythm, grounding you in a place that has known years of townhouse charm.
Inside, the living spaces invite you to unwind. A trio of sitting rooms offers comfort and character, with sofas, armchairs, a grand piano and a study. The contemporary kitchen, with its central island and American-style fridge, is both functional and sociable, opening onto the courtyard for easy al fresco dining.
Upstairs, five individually styled bedrooms ensure restful nights, many with en-suite facilities and charming quirks. The games room outside with table tennis and table football is a welcome touch for families, while Wi-Fi throughout keeps you connected.
It’s rare for a townhouse have such a verdant and expansive garden filled with roses, palms and mature trees, a world away from the bustle beyond the gates. Stone steps lead up to the elevated pool terrace where a private heated pool glistens in the sun, framed by sun loungers.
Ribérac itself hums with local life. Just a short walk brings you to boulangeries, cafés, and the famous Friday market bursting with regional produce. From bee gardens to Romanesque churches, the area is steeped in history and discovery.
For wonderful days out nearby, Aubeterre-sur-Dronne, Brantôme and Périgueux offer culture, history and culinary delights within easy reach.
For those who seek a traditional French escape with space to breathe and time to slow down, Maison Notre Dame offers a slice of Dordogne charm where every bell toll and every breeze through the trees adds to the timeless rhythm of your stay.
- If staying with children, do note that the gardens are on different levels (the swimming pool area is elevated and reached via steps)
