Set amid 15 acres of secluded Dordogne countryside, Le Petit Mas Combolongue offers a sublime retreat where privacy, character and thoughtful design come together in perfect harmony. Arriving at the end of a country lane, guests are greeted by a timeless estate with roots reaching back to 1680, where mature palms, expansive lawns and golden stone buildings surround a tranquil courtyard at its heart.
Here you will stay in two exceptional dwellings within the estate: The Barn and The Goat House, both restored with an eye for detail. Featuring two en suite bedrooms, The Barn’s soaring ceilings and split-level design create a sense of space and elegance across the main living space, while timber beams and hand-picked finishes retain its rustic soul. French doors spill onto the courtyard and its dining terrace for long meals on warm summer evenings. In the Goat House, sloping ceilings and soft light add charm to a separate twin bedroom.
Outside, drift between the private heated pool and the sun loungers, enjoy leisurely lunches by the poolside summer kitchen, or sip a chilled glass of wine as the scent of the barbecue fills the air back by the courtyard.
Just 7km away lies Villefranche-du-Périgord, a bastide town steeped in medieval charm. Cobbled streets, an arcaded market hall and the soft chime of church bells bring a rhythm to daily life. Visit the Chestnut and Mushroom Museum, savour local delicacies from weekly markets, or take to forest trails that wind through the Périgord Noir. For wonderful days out, the striking Château de Bonaguil and the gastronomic delights of Sarlat-la-Canéda await, along with the vineyards and historic centre of Cahors by the Lot River.
Whether gathering for summer feasts or escaping for peaceful reflection, Le Petit Mas Combolongue is a place where every detail invites you to slow down and savour this beautiful part of southwestern France.
