Beyond the stone walls of a historic manor house, Maison Lamonzie offers something quietly exceptional: a rare one-bedroom retreat, once featured in The Sunday Times as one of the best French gites and villas.
Surrounded by the rolling beauty of the Dordogne, this former 17th century share-cropper’s house has been beautifully restored to create an intimate escape. With its own private pool and lawned garden, it’s a truly exceptional place for a couple’s getaway.
Inside, historic character and contemporary features sit charmingly side by side. The open-plan ground floor features exposed stonework and timber beams adding depth to the modern kitchen alongside the traditional dining and lounge area. Upstairs, a king-size double bedroom showcases original beams and an ensuite shower room.
Step outside to discover your own private world. After picking up bread from the village, enjoy breakfast on the dining terrace and swim in the generous 11-metre pool, heated from June through September, surrounded by a poolside terrace with summer furnishings. Whether you’re barbecuing with a glass of Bergerac wine in hand or drifting between sun and shade, the rhythm here is one of unhurried ease.
Perfectly placed for exploring the region, Maison Lamonzie lies within the village of Lamonzie-Montastruc. Just a short drive brings you to the nearby restaurants of Campsegret and Saint-Sauveur, or into Bergerac itself, with its cobbled streets, lively markets, riverside setting and celebrated vineyards.
For those seeking a taste of the Dordogne’s legendary food, wine and river adventures, the location of Maison Lamonzie is spot on.
- This beautiful house sits very privately within the grounds of a separate Manor House.
- You can walk to the village’s bread store, but a car is needed to reach wider amenities (and to explore this wonderful region).
