Set amid five acres of meadow and gardens, a short walk from the Dordogne River, Argelo La Riviere is a beautifully restored farmhouse that captures the rustic soul of the Périgord Noir. Clad in ivy and featuring a charming two-storey tower, its traditional stonework and beamed ceilings hint at its heritage, while gorgeous terraces and a private swimming pool are perfect for relaxed outdoor living.
Inside, Argelo La Riviere balances character and comfort with ease. The warm kitchen and dining area are well-equipped for family meals, with both a filter and Nespresso coffee machine for easy mornings. A pretty living room opens onto the terrace and features UK satellite television and Wi-Fi to keep everyone connected. With four inviting bedrooms, all ensuite, including a top-floor tower room that sleeps four beneath the rustic beams, the house is perfect for extended families or friends holidaying together.
Mornings begin with breakfast under the covered terrace overlooking the garden and lawn. Lazy afternoons melt into long poolside moments beside the swimming pool. Evenings might be spent with a game of table tennis, or enjoying local produce on the barbecue beneath a canopy of stars. Whether lounging by the lawns or enjoying the comfort of a shaded seat with a book, the sense of space is irresistible.
Argelo La Riviere is perfectly positioned to explore the rich tapestry of the Dordogne. Within walking distance is Plage de Vitrac (1.2km), where a riverside restaurant and canoe hire invite days of gentle adventure. The medieval bastide of Domme lies just five minutes away by car, its hilltop views and cobbled lanes offering a step into the past. And only 9km north, the honey-hued streets of Sarlat-la-Canéda beckon with bustling markets, artisan shops and open-air cafés.
For families and friends in search of authentic charm and space to unwind, Argelo La Riviere is a place to slow down, reconnect and experience the very best of the Dordogne countryside.
- This beautiful house sleeps up to 10 guests across three double bedrooms and one quad bedroom in the tower (second floor) with four single beds. All bedrooms are en suite.
- It’s a leisurely 1.2km stroll along local country lanes (no pavement) to Plage De Vitrac with its restaurant and canoeing opportunities, both open seasonally.
