About this property

Valley of the Five Castles, Charming Residence from 1851, renovated like new.

Rated 3 stars by the official organization named "Gîte de France"
Within a radius of ten kilometers you will not have enough time for a week to discover the cultural or natural wonders that surround the town of Montfort. Its castle of course at the foot of the Dordogne, La bastide de Domme and La Roque-Gageac built between cliff and river (Two of the most beautiful villages in France), the castles of Castelnaud and its museum of the War of the Middle Ages, that de Marqueyssac and its famous hanging gardens, that of Fayrac, the castle of Beynac (still one of the most beautiful villages in France). Here are places that will not leave you indifferent. Five kilometers away, the medieval town of Sarlat will charm you with its architectural and historical heritage. Outdoor destination par excellence, with its hundred kilometers of cycle paths, mountain bike trails, hiking trails, canoeing down the Dordogne river, visiting or exploring caves, fishing in white or still water.
There is something for all tastes and all ages.

Tranquil Get Away

We spent a fantastic 2 weeks at this property. We took our 2 adult children and 1 teenager and could not find fault with it. The house was beautifully clean and had everything we could possibly require. The area is stunning, the weather was hot and it all made for a perfect holiday.

Beautifully renovated in a lovely area

This is a lovely quiet property in a pretty village with bar/restaurant a very short stroll. It is well equipped, the beds are comfortable and lots of outside space to sit and relax. The bathrooms are lovely with big showers. Small uncomfortable sofa inside. There is no air con and the two fans were incredibly noisy so unusable at night. Take lots of insect repellent as we were bitten mornings, daytime, evening and night on any tiny areas not sprayed. Beaches a drive away, loads of places to visit, we had a lovely week in the property, thank you!

A wonderful week in a beautiful area

Every aspect of our booking was excellent. Communication with Michel was speedy and efficient. The house was beautifully clean and had everything we could need. The covered pergola was a blessing as was all the outside furniture. The weather was lovely so the coolness of the house was very welcome. We would recommend this place to anyone without hesitation.

Beautiful House

This is a beautiful House in a great location just a short walk from the river, patisserie and a lovely bar/restaurant. The accommodation is beautifully decorated throughout and well equipped. The driveway down to the property is a little steep which could be difficult for a low car, like mine but overall it didn't cause too much of an issue. The owners are great, being local and easy to get hold of if needs be. The only comment I'd make is that due to the excessively hot temperature some of the rooms would benefit from aircon or at least a fan in each bedroom to make the nights more bearable. Overall a lovely place in a wonderful location.

Beautiful house in a stunning setting, great walks and views, highly recommended!

This stunning house is situated in a truly friendly and very beautiful little village with 3 restaurants and a bakery. Our kids loved the huge garden and we enjoyed river walks from the house. There was plenty to do nearby - Sarlat market, troglodyte dwellings, canoeing and more pretty villages. We had a fabulous time!

A beautiful property in a wonderful location

This is a spacious property beautifully decorated, perfectly clean and contains everything you could possibly need. It is located in a small and lovely commune that has a boulangerie and a number of restaurants within easy walking distance. From the house there are views of a privately owned, impressive chateau which acts as a good landmark when out and about. The pictures of the lounge area are not up to date. There is comfortable seating with a television (no English language channels). The woodburner is not in the lounge area as such, but I'm sure would warm the whole property during the winter. The house has extensive grounds as well as an elevated terrace containing a table and chairs to eat Al Fresco. You car can be parked under cover in case of wet or hot weather. The only slight downside is the narrow entrance to the steep drive. If you have a wide car it maybe best to have someone guide you down!! Very highly recommended!!!! We would love to spend another holiday there. Fantastic!!!

Wundervolle Ferien im Perigord

Wir hatte 14 Tage pure Erholung. Ein wirrlich tolles Haus mit Garten, so wie es inseriert wurde. Die Bilder vom Haus hätten von uns stammen können. Wir hatten einen sehr netten und herzlichen Empfang. Unsere Zeit vor Ort hat nicht ausgereicht, um alle Sehenswürdigkeiten aufnehmen zu können. Tolle Burgen, Festungen und vor allem der Markt in Sarlat ist mindstens ein Besuch wert. Eine wirklich tolle Unterkunft und ein tolles Team, dass sich um die Angelegenheiten vor Ort kümmert. Wir werden wiederkommen.

Wonderful place! Great location in an extremely quaint village surrounding an 800-year-old castle. Close to everything if you have a car. Perfect place, but it could use more comfortable furniture in the living room. But I'd stay there again in a minute!
