Built into the cliff face of La Roque-Gageac is this wonderfully restored three bedroom mediaeval house with stunning views across the valley of the five chateaux. This house is situated in a slightly elevated position and features a garden and large patio area which captures the sun from dawn to dusk providing warmer temperatures throughout the year.
Inside the house there is a kitchen and dining room on the ground floor complete with utilities leading to a downstairs toilet. There is an ancient troglodyte fireplace in the kitchen that has been carved out of the rock however, you may prefer to use the electric one. The kitchen is fully equipped for every meal time and in addition there is a BBQ outside.
The staircase to the first floor winds through the rock at the back of the house to the lounge which features a massive fireplace and wood burning stove. A hallway from the lounge leads on to a double bedroom with a king size bed, a second bedroom with twin beds and a spacious family bathroom with a bath and shower. On the second floor is a further double bedroom with a king size bed and a second bathroom.

- La Roque-Gageac is deservedly designated one of “les Plus Beax Village de France”. In medieval times, it was an important fortified village and later saw the addition of renaissance manors, including the Manoir de Tarde. It has retained its authentic character over the centuries, featuring attractive narrow stone streets and interesting homes, churches and public buildings. There is a weekly market, fabulous restaurants, a pizzeria and a bakery/pastry shop. For recreation, there are tennis courts, river beaches and canoes for rent. Completely sheltered by the cliffs, there is an area where the semi-tropical plant life survives year-round. A walking path that runs behind the buildings at the foot of the cliff provides great views. There are also pre-historic Troglodyte dwellings above the patio. Within 15 minutes: The wonderful preserved towns of Beynac, Domme and Sarlat.
