This is a historic townhouse in the center of St. Cyprien, a medieval hill town in the heart of Périgord Noir. The older parts of the house date from the late Middle ages, and the house is a regular stop on the town's historic walking tour (Don't worry, they don't come inside!). it has two bedrooms and a finished attic and comfortably sleeps up to six. The top floor (finished attic) offers superb views of the valley.

Ideal base for exploring the Périgord Noir: close to Sarlat, Les Eyzies (with its famous prehistoric sites), the châteaux of Beynac and Castelnaud, the walled town of Domme, and many other enchanting places. And of course, all of Périgord is a mecca for foodies; local restaurants and farmers' markets have superb offerings.

When you're not out exploring the surrounding area, take advantage of St. Cyprien's scenery, its river beaches (just 1 1/2 kilometers from the house), its thriving farmers' market, and its many kid-friendly activities like canoeing and horseback riding.

  • This house and village are much more wonderful than what the description promises. We spent the best week of a ten week vacation in this home. Because the house is lived in part time by the owner, the furniture is comfortable, the cookware is good and there is actually a place to store groceries. The kitchen area on the ground floor is much nicerand larger than the photos promise. There is a table large enough to eat at one end and store daily treasures on the other. There is a place on the upper level to dry clothes that is out of the way and which has beautiful views to make this chore almost a pleasure. In fact every room of this home was bigger than we expected, and every room was decorated with unusual and interesting art pieces. A week was not enough time to fully see all the pictures, photos, picture frames, wall hangings, floor coverings and other treasures. The village itself was also a delight. The walk into town was only a few minutes,maybe a hundred yards, parking was never a problem and the weekly market was the best we attended - large enough to have all the local products but small enough to be doable. The town also has a great art gallery and there is a restuarant in Meyrals, six kilometers away, which was half the price and had better food than more renowned places in nearby towns. This town seems central to anything one might want to do in this part of France. River rafting was a few minutes away and easily arranged, the caves were spectacular, the villages charming and the food and wine from local shops and markets made eating out less of a temptation. We could have happily spent a summer here, and in retrospect probably should have skipped a few other places on our itinerary to spend more time in St. Cyprien.
