In the heart of the Dordogne, Le Manoir d'Alvère is a beautifully restored traditional manor house offering space, charm and an unmistakable sense of old-world character. As you arrive, guests are welcomed into four hectares of verdant grounds, where mature trees offer dappled shade across expansive lawns with extensive views of the open countryside. At the heart of the idyllic garden lies a gorgeous 14-metre pool, framed by classic sun loungers and perfect for long afternoons under the sun.
Inside, the manoir blends timeless elegance with understated elegance. Original details and pretty fabrics lend a warm and nostalgic feel, while the interiors have been thoughtfully updated with style and comfort in mind. Expect traditional furnishings, polished wood floors and floral prints offset by modern bathrooms. The generous living spaces include a dining room with a fireplace, a cosy TV room with a Yamaha piano and a spacious kitchen that spills out onto both the front and rear gardens. For entertainment, guests will find table football in the entrance hall alongside table tennis, croquet and boules in the gardens.
Sleeping up to 14 guests across seven bedrooms, the layout is ideal for groups of friends or extended families. Six bedrooms are located upstairs in the main house, four of which include their own ensuite bathrooms, while a seventh ensuite room with exterior access provides added privacy in the courtyard.
The property sits within walking distance of a delightful village, where guests can enjoy morning croissants from the boulangerie or dine at one of two nearby restaurants. Just a little further by car, dine at the Michelin starred Le Vieux Logis in nearby Trémolat and look out for canoeing and kayaking near Limeuil, one of France’s ‘Plus Beaux Villages’.
The location is perfectly placed for exploring many more treasures of the Dordogne, with Bergerac just 30 minutes away, and the mediaeval market town of Sarlat-la-Canéda under an hour’s drive.
With its generous proportions and wealth of classic French charm, Le Manoir d'Alvère offers a truly memorable getaway in one of France’s most celebrated regions.
