Lafontade is a restored farmhouse that offers a characterful retreat in a great location for exploring both the Lot and Dordogne. A 5km drive brings you to the bustling market town of Gourdon, while back at the holiday home, days unfold slowly beneath the sun, with birdsong overhead and horses grazing in the distance.
The single-storey home has been thoughtfully renovated to retain its rustic and simple warmth, offering two comfortable bedrooms, an open-plan living and kitchen area and easy indoor-outdoor flow through to the garden and terrace. Outside, a large private pool glistens in the sun, flanked by loungers for long afternoons of reading or dozing between swims.
Lafontade holds a few surprises, too. A separate garden house offers a hammam-style Turkish bath, alongside a gym and an extra shower and WC. A covered boules court adds a charming touch of French country living, perfect for mellow evening games.
Just 5 km away, the picturesque town of Gourdon offers all essential amenities, while Sarlat-la-Canéda lies just over half an hour away for a more immersive taste of Périgord’s beauty. Known for its medieval streets, vibrant markets and culinary delights, it is the perfect day trip for those seeking atmosphere and culture. The wider region offers canoeing on the Dordogne, prehistoric cave art in Les Eyzies, and breathtaking villages like La Roque-Gageac and Domme.
Whether you're seeking slow mornings by the pool or cultural exploration in one of France’s most picturesque corners, Lafontade promises a relaxed and authentic country escape.
