The open-plan living area features a well-equipped kitchen, wood-burning stove and access to your very own shaded terrace that invites slow al fresco meals. Upstairs via the spiral staircase, two double bedrooms and a bathroom provide restful spaces for couples or a small family.

As evening falls, fire up the barbecue and enjoy dinner as the sky turns pink above the countryside.
Perfectly placed for discovering the region, the cottage lies around a 10-minute drive from Beynac-et-Cazenac, one of the Dordogne’s most enchanting riverside villages. Here, you’ll find cafés, restaurants and boat trips for drifting along the river’s calm waters. Domme, perched high above the valley, is just a little further and offers breathtaking views, especially magical when the morning mist lifts to reveal a scattering of colourful hot-air balloons.
