In the historic village of St. Vivien in the Dordogne area of south-west France, this beautiful, restored, two-storey stone house with tile roof and wooden shutters is approximately 300 years old. It is situated in the heart of this peaceful 200-person village, adjacent to the 17th century church. The house has both front and rear gardens, the latter being very large, with grass, fruit trees, and roses. The rear of the house overlooks acres of vineyards and gorgeous countryside.

This unique and beautifully maintained house consists of three bedrooms, a living room, a dining room, entry room, kitchen, terrace, bathroom with shower, plus two separate toilets. The entry room has a large stone fireplace and dining table. A wooden staircase connects the ground and first floors. The house has modern appliances. Central heating makes the house very cozy in the winter months, with a good selection of books, games and puzzles for those indoor days.

All linens and bedding are provided.

The house has been entirely redecorated by the owners, an artist/designer team, using tasteful and historic colors. The furniture and fixtures are an eclectic but tasteful mix of antique and modern. There are original art works in every room, as well as hardwood floors.

Each of the bedrooms has a double bed. The largest of the bedrooms (25 by 20 feet) also contains a single bed. With three bedrooms, the house can comfortably accommodate seven people.

The kitchen opens out onto a covered terrace and the peace of the lovely back garden, where most people spend the warm summer days.

A fifteen minute drive to the wonderful market town of Ste. Foy-la-Grande, and within easy reach of Bordeaux, Bergerac, Perigueux and Sarlat, the house is a great place to return to for peace and relaxation. The rail station of Velines (on the Bordeaux line) is four km away for visits to the exciting city of Bordeaux or to pick up visitors without cars. The fantastic Lascaux caves near Sarlat are well worth a day trip.

The village has a small store and bar/cafe. Many excellent restaurants in the area. The great Bordeaux wine producers and kayaking along the Dordogne River both within half an hour's reach. The resort, Lac de Gurson, six km. away for a swim in the lake. A drive to the Atlantic beaches is about two and a half hours.

  • What a lovely, quiet place to stay! Six of us spent a week there and the home is a wonderful jumping off point to Bordeaux, St. Emilion, Bergerac, and Sur Lot. We had many evenings relaxing in the livingroom and cooking in the kitchen. I would go back in a heartbeat.

  • My wife and I and some friends stayed in this handsome spacious house in a delightful village in a beautful area of France for ten days in June 2007. The rooms are large and fully furnished, and the bedrooms are comfortable and attractively decorated -- in particular, the master bedroom which we loved. The kitchen has everything you need, and we especially enjoyed spending our evenings drinking wine and eating leisurely dinners on the terrace.
