At the end of a country lane, surrounded by rolling meadows and woodland, Le Castel Viel offers a characterful escape in the Dordogne. This beautifully restored stone farmhouse, complete with a traditional half-timbered pigeonnier, sits within a hectare of private grounds where olive trees sway gently beside the pool and birdsong carries on the breeze.
Inside, exposed stone walls and original beams frame spacious living areas designed for togetherness. The open-plan kitchen, with its farmhouse-style central island and Falcon range cooker, invites leisurely breakfasts and lively evening meals. From here, doors lead directly to a dining terrace, perfect for al fresco gatherings. The main sitting room is warm and inviting, with a wood-burning stove, Smart TV and Sonos sound system. Upstairs across two wings, five charming bedrooms offer restful retreats, including a romantic four-poster master double with its own bathroom.
The private pool lies at the heart of the garden, surrounded by sun loungers and views over the surrounding grounds. A brasero adds warmth to starlit evenings, while table tennis provides entertainment for all ages. Whether you're sipping local wine on the terrace or exploring nearby market towns, Le Castel Viel makes every moment feel unhurried.
Perfectly positioned between Bergerac and Périgueux, this is an ideal base for exploring the treasures of the Dordogne. A 15-minute drive away, Vergt offers charming eateries, bakeries and a weekly market, while Bergerac’s harbour, riverside cafés and museums promise rich cultural days out. Le Castel Viel promises a stay full of character, beauty and lasting memories.
- The charming bedrooms are set across two wings of the house – please see the “Layout” tab for further details. Some bedrooms feature characterfully low wood beams.
