About this property

Stunning Luxury Dordogne Villa with Heated Pool, Jacuzzi, WiFi, Sleeps 9

La Rousselie with its heated swimming pool and hot tub is a fantastic luxury stone villa that sleeps from 2 to 9 people (1 cot also available). Enjoy the tranquillity of what seems to be your own private valley, offering absolutely magnificent west-facing views - yet it is only a 4 minute walk to the centre of the wonderful medieval village of La Dornac, with a friendly cafe/restaurant at its heart. Facilities include: large private terrace, heated pool set in a large landscaped garden, hot tub on the villa deck, BBQ, all bedrooms en-suite, fully equipped kitchen, large open plan living area with log-burner and stylish modern furniture, English TV (internet enabled), hifi, DVD, wifi, plus kids' games room and all other mod cons.

La Rousselie is ideally situated in the Dordogne (Department 24), South West France. Available all year round with lots to see and do, the villa is ideally situated for visiting the world-famous sites of Sarlat and its fabulous markets and restaurants, Lascaux and its incredible prehistoric caves, Rocamadour the cliff-hanging village and site of pilgrimage for centuries, medieval Domme with stunning views across the Dordogne valley and beautiful river towns such as Terrasson, Montignac, Beynac, Bergerac and Riberac, all are within an easy drive through spectacular countryside. The vibrant regional capital of Périgueux is also a short distance away and well worth a visit. The beautiful gardens of Eyrignac and Marqueyssac are a short drive away. Brive La-Gaillarde is also nearby, with a fantastic range of facilities. There is plenty nearby for active guests as well - treetop parcours, canoeing, walking, horse riding & even skiing in the Cantal mountains! Of course, you could just relax and chill out on the deck or around the stunning heated pool.

Ladornac is also well served for transport. It is within an hour and a half of Bergerac and Limoges airport and approximately 2 hours from Bordeaux and Rodez airports. Also within a couple of hours or so are many of France's other fine towns and attractions such as Cahors, the capital of the Lot, or even the super family-friendly skiing area of the Cantal mountains. Whatever time of year, you're never far from a great day out in Ladornac.

Golf: Several Golf courses locally

Ski: Nearest ski resort approx 1.5 hours

Sights and Activities: “What can we do now?” is not something you need to worry about the kids saying at La Rousselie! We have tried to provide everything you need for year-round family entertainment. In addition to the large heated swimming pool and hot tub, you are very welcome to use the badminton, boules and croquet sets provided for your use in the large garden. The games room has a table tennis table and table football set, as well as a TV and games console, plus a host of other games & activities. There is also a tennis facility in the village.

The Périgord Noir region of the Dordogne is famous for its gastronomic traditions & produces some of the finest cuisine in France - you are never far from a delicious "glace" or superb meal out. It's also a vast, peaceful rural area of timeless forests & gentle rolling hills, wide slow rivers, prehistoric caves & troglodyte dwellings -combined with a wealth of world famous historical sites from castles & ancient monuments to medieval market towns & magnificent châteaux.

Affordable skiing and winter activity breaks.

Explore the spectacular and vast Dordogne forests particularly beautiful in autumn and spring, or enjoy superb golf, fishing, walking, cycling and even skiing in the nearby Cantal Mountains, just over 2 hours by car.

For the less fanatical skier Super Lioran in the Cantal has an extensive lift system with excellently maintained piste and is particularly good for the intermediate and beginner skier.

Please note - La Rousselie does not have air conditioning and is not suitable for charging electric vehicles.

Lovely villa, super location, great holiday

This was our 3rd visit to the property and it did not disappoint. We again enjoyed many hours in the fabulous pool and games room and took the opportunity to venture out to some of new and familiar locations / activities nearby! We also appreciated the addition of a new walk-in shower in the main bedroom since our last visit. Thank you Nia & Glynn!

Family summer hol

Great property and place to stay. Everything you need in the house and the pool is a good size. The view and the tranquility are relaxing. La Dornac is a small hamlet but the local restaurant serves up a great meal. Plenty to do in the area.too. A great holiday was had.

Our Ladornac experience

Overall we enjoyed our stay with the family. The interior of the property was excellent, very clean and had every appliance required.The pool and jacuzzi were very good. On arrival our first impressions were not as we had expected as the gravel drive was full of weeds and the paintwork needed a refresh. The path leading to the swimming pool and patio area was also full of weeds which was disappointing to see as it needed TLC, also the permanent base for the umbrella was rusty and dangerous for children playing especially our 3 year old grandchild. On our last day the children were unable to swim in pool because a dead mouse has got in under the cover and therefore discouraged the children even though we removed it. We had also wanted to dine at the local restaurant which was walking distance and had been a recommended in property information but unfortunately the owners were on holiday until the our last day of our stay, by which time part of our family had already left for home.(disappointing)

Lovely location and views

The location and views from the house were amazing, lovely village and beautiful scenery. The house was also very nice and well equipped but we felt that it could have been cleaner and was dusty in areas. We also found the pool was not up to standard at first and contacted the owner who did get back to us about it but no one came to sort it until I had to contact them again several days later, the pump was not working properly and needed fixing which it eventually did. The photos show parasols at the pool but these are no longer there, it would have been nice to have more shade for the sun beds. All in all, a few issues but we had a lovely holiday and would recommend to others.

Absolutely fab holiday house - clean, large and contains everything you will need both in terms of fixtures and fittings but also books, games room etc. Home from home experience, but with the weather being great. Location is idyllic with beautiful countryside views. Wifi works really well, pool is clean and great to swim in. No real amenities locally but Terrasson is close by and is a lovely town

Wonderful house and location

We’ve just returned to this villa for the second time - and can’t wait to return. Genuinely didn’t want our week to end. The accommodation is very comfortable and well thought out, with plenty to do for all ages. The kids were never bored and we loved the juxtaposition of peace and tranquility with everything you need being just a short drive away. Thank you for another lovely stay.

A wonderful home away from home

La Rouseille ticked all the boxes for us, we were 2 families with teenagers and we wanted a spacious house that had lots of activities to keep them occupied whilst we could relax. The location of the house is superb, you can walk into the village where there is a lovely restaurant, but there are great towns and markets within a short driving distance as well. The house was clean and modern with everything you could need to make a great stay. Table tennis, darts, football, croquet. We loved the pool and the sunbeds were really comfy - not plastic like some other places we have stayed. The dining balcony makes a great spot for dinner and lunch and we enjoyed watching the beautiful sunsets and the spectacular scenery. As all the bedrooms have thier own bathroom it was a real bonus too. Will totally recommend this house to others and hopefully come back again some time soon!

Family stay for two weeks. July 22

Had an amazing stay. Villa has everything and more than you could ever need for a holiday. The view from the balcony is just amazing. The facilities were fantastic with a great sized pool and loads of space around to kick a football etc. Loads for children and adults to do without ever leaving the villa, however surrounding area has loads of lovely places to go and see. A fantastic part of France. Not many places you go to where the reality is better than the pictures online. Would highly recommend

Perfect getaway

We had a wonderful stay at La Dornac. A lot of thought had been put into the villa to ensure that we had the very best stay. The layout of the villa is well thought-out, with a double en-suite bedroom on the ground floor, one on the first floor and two spacious rooms with bunk beds and a Jack and Jill bathroom. Downstairs the living area is well-designated and open plan. The kitchen is extremely well equipped and spacious enough with a large dining table, and we couldn’t have asked for more comfortable furniture both inside and out. The veranda overlooking the pool is a lovely spot and we thoroughly enjoyed the views from here. The pool was a real source of fun and the children spent a lot of time in it during our stay. The games room was also a real source of entertainment during the hottest part of the day with the x-box, table tennis and table football. There were also garden games available to play, as well as an inflatable for the pool. All of the furniture was comfortable and of great quality: no expense had been spared. It was a real home from home. Our hosts were really responsive and on the occasions that we did contact them with questions they replied really quickly. The only thing we couldn’t manage to do was connect our devices to the Wi-Fi but this had no impact on our stay. The tv worked fine as it was already connected so we could access our own Netflix account etc which the kids loved. All in all a great stay and we can’t wait to return! Thank you!

Tranquil valley views on the outskirts of a picturesque village

Stayed for the first two weeks of Sep 2019. The villa is clean, well appointed and very comfortable. We did not find anything amiss and everything there was clearly well looked after and of good quality. The location is wonderful, overlooking a valley and very tranquil. The pool is in good condition and heated. It shares the valley views and is fabulous place to spent the afternoon. Pool furtniture was of excellent quality as was the hot tub and the patio table & chairs. All had cushions available. Communication with the owner was easy and of good quality. All in all an excellent property, very highly recommended. 10/10.

Second time didn’t disappoint!

This was our second stay at this property .. I could actually stop my review here but I won’t... The location the ease of contact with the owners is great ... But you will not find a better holiday home in the Dordogne... Look at all that’s included... All high quality too .. We have recently returned from a week during the Saharan heatwave ... Sophie emailed to ensure we ok and closing the shutters etc.. in her words she told us live like the French ... I love the pool and it’s proximity to the house .. That’s important .. Something I didn’t realise when we stayed elsewhere .. Overall it’s a 10 .. price, location, the house and the owners who leave you alone until you need them .. We work too hard to return to a holiday home that isn’t fabulous .. You won’t be disappointed...

Superb house in a beautiful location!!

Just back from a brilliant stay at La Rousellie. The house is superb, really well equipped with everything you could possibly need and set in a beautiful, peaceful valley with incredible sunsets each night. The pool and gardens are perfect for lounging by and playing with the badminton, croquet, table tennis equipment that comes with the house. We barbecued and ate out on the terrace most nights. The location is perfect for popping into some of the beautiful towns and chateaus that abound in the area and for heading out canoeing on the Dordogne. The owners were really helpful in the run up to our stay, providing all the info we needed and more! We'll be heading back I'm sure!

Perfect

My husband and I have just returned from a week in this stunning house .. After a long jounery we were exhausted .. But our spirits were soon lifted .. Not only does this house have everything you need to enjoy a holiday in deepest France the quality of everything is very good too .. Nothing was too much trouble for the owners who always responded quickly via email to our questions .. Sophie sent an email prior to our arrival with directions and details of local supermarkets .. We flew Edinburgh to Bordeaux, hired a car and the house was approximately 2.5 hrs away .. Alternatively there are flights to Brive (very close) but they weren't easy coming from Edinburgh.. Ladornac is a beautiful village .. Immaculate... Oh and the bread from the local restaurant was scrumptious! If you enjoy white wine then seek out the local Bergerac wines ... The place to stay in the Dorgogne!

The perfect family holiday villa

Without doubt, La Rousellie is the perfect family holiday villa we have stayed in. Everything is thought of to make holidaymakers comfortable. The pool is superb and the accommodation is very comfortable. Scenery to die for and local amenities perfect. We will certainly be booking our holiday there next year.

Totally relaxing

We have just spent a week relaxing in this property. It has everything you could need for a restful week, you wouldn't even need to leave the house if you didn't want to!! Both of our children aged 11 and 13 we occupied for the whole time. The pool was lovely and stargazing from the hot tub at night was amazing. The local villages are beautiful and we particularly enjoyed sitting by the river in Terrasson in the Banana cafe. Well done Reily family, you have created a wonderful, peaceful haven .

Beautiful Villa with stunning views

The Villa was truly amazing inside and out with fantastic views. We enjoyed relaxing outside by the heated pool on comfy sunloungers surronded by nothing but blue sky and fields and a few cows! The children enjoyed playing football in the very spacious grounds. The decking area had a large table so all 9 of us could eat al fresco as well as a hottub. Inside was spacious and tastefully decorated, all rooms were ensuite and the beds were really comfortable. It had everything practical you needed in terms of dishwasher, washer, dryer, TV The games room was great too for the kids with table tennis. thoroughly recommend

Great Place

Our family of 3 generations have just returned from our holiday at 'La Rousselie' in the lovely village of La Dornac. The house is in a great position with panoramic views overlooking the beautiful surrounding countryside, very quiet and with a good degree of privacy. The heated pool and terrace were where we spent most of our days enjoying the Dordogne sunshine and lounging on the comfortable patio furnishings. Our evenings were mainly spent on the veranda with a relaxing meal watching the evening sunset. The house itself is new, very well presented, clean and well equiped with quality furnishings, the fans in all the rooms an added bonus on hot days. There are lots of additional facilities for all ages to enjoy as described in the properties advertisement. Paul the owner is very helpful, answering all our requests and queries quickly and we were made very welcome by Fred and Cecille who run the local bar/restaurant on arrival and who were on hand to help at any time. Our linen and towels were changed on our middle weekend and also fresh pool towels were provided, this was a first for us in 10 years of holidaying in France. The village is picturesque with lots of pleasant circular walks on quiet lanes, Fred and Cecille sell bread from their bar and in the nearby village of Chavagnac a small shop also sells bread and other grocery items. A very large supermarket is at Brive about 25mins away. We enjoyed days and meals out at the market town of Sarlat, Terrasson, Montignac and Rocamadour which we all loved. A must is to dine at Fred and Cecilles restaurant, we all enjoyed a delicious meal, amazing value and great friendly service. One of the most enjoyable holidays we have had in France.

Nous avons passé une semaine hivernale en famille dans cette magnifique villa en plein coeur du Périgord. Au programme à proximité, visites des sites touristiques liés à la préhistoire des Eyzies , des cités médiévales de Sarlat la Caneda, La Roque Gageac et du superbe village rouge de Collonges la Rouge. Soirées conviviales dans le salon confortable, près du poêle à bois ou détente dans la salle de jeux et le jacuzzi extérieur sur la terrasse face à un panorama exceptionnel ! Accueil très sympathique de Cécile et Fred qui tiennent le bar restaurant à La Dornac : "Les quatre saisons" ; je vous y conseille un dîner typique du Périgord à base de confits de canards, de foie gras et de cèpes, mais avec modération.....
