About this property

200-Year-Old Stone House In Lovely Medieval Market Village - Dordogne SW France

If you're looking to experience the feel of life in a French village, this is where you want to be. Our house is located in the Dordogne department of southwestern France, in a charming medieval village called Issigeac. The nearest airport and train station (in the town of Bergerac) are just 15-20 minutes away.

Named the best French village for foodies by National Geographic (2022), Issigeac is a market lover's dream. The village is home to a FANTASTIC weekly market on Sunday mornings (so it's highly recommended you start your rental on a Saturday). Just steps from our front door, you can get pretty much whatever you want to eat or drink. The market spills out from the central village square into the winding streets with fruit & vegetable stands, stalls that specialize in cheese, roast chicken, fish, oysters, olives, foie gras, crèpes, paella, sausages...

The village has a full range of shops: cafes, restaurants, bakeries, small grocery stores, an organic food shop, butcher, and a wine shop.

Our house is renovated but still simple. On the ground floor, the eat-in kitchen is surrounded by warm exposed stone walls, with exposed oak beams on the ceiling. On the first floor up, there are 3 bedrooms: (two with double beds, and one with bunk beds). The entire top floor is a sitting area with a double sofa bed and single day bed.

Outdoors, relax in our grassy courtyard garden - a rarity in the village.

We are open to having as many as 8 people, but we recommend no more than four adults, as there is only one bathroom.

Please contact us for a 20% discount if you stay 2 weeks or more.

Perfect spot

We spent a week in Issigeac in October visiting the Dordogne region. Issigeac is the perfect mix of local restaurants and shops…and has a SUPERB farmers market on Sunday mornings. The house is an absolutely charming period house that has all the modern conveniences. We enjoyed early evening drinks in the private courtyard and cooking our meals in the well-stocked kitchen. There is also a small grocer/convenience stort a two-minute walk from the house that is open all week. We had diner at L’Atelier and la Brucelière and would recommend both if you want to experience excellent French cuisine. Be aware, however, that many businesses are closed on Mondays and Tuesdays during the off-season, which is the price you pay to avoid the summer crowds. This is a charming spot in a historic village in a fabulous region of France. Loved our stay!

Character galore in this charming house and village!

The property was exactly like in the pictures and description-all of the character and charm combined with the modern conveniences we wanted. The kitchen was really well supplied and everything was clean and ready for our arrival. We especially loved the private courtyard!! The location couldn’t have been better, within the village and with all that lies around it to explore. We were able to do and see so much, everything was accessible from here. The hosts were super helpful and nice! We found the guidebook in the house a terrific resource when choosing places to visit. We’d love to return someday!

Perfect getaway in the Purple Périgord region!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stayed in Issigeac, the house was a perfect spot to not only relax in, but it's location was wonderful to explore the surrounding region, and a bit further a field (such as Lascaux). The garden was an oasis - a verdant, rosemary scented walled area that was just right for an early morning cup of tea. I even took a nap on the "grass" one day! We appreciated the kitchen and facilities from laundry to a dishwasher. The location was super convenient for exploring the village, the Sunday Market did not disappoint and boulangerie provided fresh baguette and patisseries! The selection of restaurants and cafes for a small village were outstanding and the artsy shops and boutiques were surprisingly sophisticated. All in all, a great stay - hope to be back one day and really get to know the region better!

marvelous

I wanted to find a place to stay for a while (one month) to do some reading and writing. The house in Issigeac was perfect. In fact, if it hadn't already been booked, I would have preferred to spend yet another month. House is full of character, yet easy to keep tidy. Everything works. Village is charming, friendly and has all one needs. Will definitely think about a return visit.

A perfect home with mix of history and modern conveniences in a small but amazingly vibrant village

The home itself is wonderful. Lots of room for our family of 5; everything you could need from the fully equipped kitchen to the upper floor with amazing books and games. Mike and Joanna have taken the time to provide detailed information about the running of the house, and all that is happening and to be enjoyed in the village and area.With this information we had some of the most excellent adventures. Our first day we were thrilled with the huge market, followed that evening by a village wide music festival! Despite being a small village, there are great shops for food, wine, restaurants and local artisans. Whether you're looking for a home base for adventures or a sanctuary to simply sit in the courtyard and read a book, this home will be just what you need.

About the host

Hosted by Joanna, Lee-Anne and Doug (owners)

Hello! Welcome to our slice of paradise. We're delighted to share our fantastic village with you. Joanna has owned the home for almost 20 years, while Lee-Anne and Doug are recent co-owners. All three of us are fueled by adventure, which has taken us the world over in our travels (you will see some of our treasures collected from afar in our home). We are Canadians, though Joanna has a ton of English relatives and Doug and Lee-Anne live in Kenya. We trust you will enjoy the simple pleasures of this ancient house, village, and region as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with house and the village's charms. It is an amzing place to stay and rest if you don't want to move or to use as a base for exploring the region.
