A lovely property exactly as described. It is comfortable and very well equipped including leisure facilities such as a table tennis table and games to play. The hosts are amazing and it is the most excellent location for sightseeing in the DordogneDespite being a very quiet rural property, it is also very convenient for shops And other facilities. We would most definitely go back.
The gite is at a nice and quit place. Swimming pool is great. The owners are very kind and helpfull.We spend a week during the hottest week ever in that area so we make a lot use of the pool.Because of the heat we missed the airco. We highly recommend this gite to spend a nice time in a perfect equipped and clean house i a beautifull area.
We really enjoyed the very charming gîte. A combination of authentic elements but with all modern comfort and eye for ecology.
The swimming pool was a great asset.
We had a good hub here to explore the magnificent region.
Fanny & Guillaume are good hosts.
What a great time we had at 'la maison girafe'. Our family (two adults, 2 kids (11 and 13) all enjoyed! The property is great and has everything you need. After visiting Germany and Rome, Dordogne and la maison girafe' were the perfect restful stop before moving on. The pool and ping pong table was a hit with the kids especially as we arrived in a heat wave. We loved having meals out back in the cozy terrace area. There are 3 chickens on the property and it was fun to spot them. The location is amazing. Can walk into the town of Carsac in 20 minutes where you can get groceries and wine. A short drive to everything in Dordogne. Our hosts were lovely and have truly created a beautidul space to live. Thanks for sharing it with us!
We had the most wonderful 10-day stay at this beautiful property in the Dordogne. Everything about our experience was perfect from start to finish. The house is immaculate, well-equipped, and truly a home away from home. The peaceful surroundings made it the perfect place to relax and unwind, while still being ideally located for exploring the stunning Dordogne region.
The hosts were incredibly welcoming and helpful, ensuring our stay was as comfortable as possible. The attention to detail throughout the property—from the comfortable beds to the well-stocked kitchen—was excellent, and we had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway.
We particularly loved spending time in the outdoor spaces, whether it was enjoying our morning coffee on the terrace or relaxing in the garden with a glass of wine in the evening. The serene views of the surrounding countryside were a dream.
If you’re looking for a peaceful, relaxing, and comfortable place to stay in France, we highly recommend this property. We can’t wait to return!
My wife and i stayed at the Maison Girafe from May 9 through June 4 2024. In spite of sub optimal weather, the gite was spectacular. The covered sitting areas were perfect and enabled us to spend significant time outside in spite of the rain.
The Gite itself was really well appointed, clean, modern and comfortable. In fact it was one of the best we have stayed in at any point in France.
Perhaps the best part was how wonderful Fany and Guillaume were. They live on the property so are available if needed, but give you space as well if that is what you are requiring. Their little daughter was delightful and my wife and i looked foward to hearing her greet us when we would return home from our cycling adventures.
Bottom line, this is an incredible place run by really wonderful and caring owners. I cannot recommend it highly enough.

Wir haben im "La maison girafe" bei Fany und Guillaume unser kleines Paradies gefunden. Das hübsch eingerichtete, gemütliche Haus ist sehr sauber und bestens ausgestattet. Der Aussenbereich mit dem Garten bietet mit dem grossartigen Pool und der ruhigen Lage Erholung pur. Der charmante Besuch der Hühner (insbesondere Jane) und der kleinen schwarzen Katze hat uns immer gefreut. Am Abend erhielten wir jeweils sogar stillen Besuch von Rehen. Die Gastgeber sind sehr hilfsbereit, gastfreundlich, aber auch diskret. Es gibt, auch wenn man nicht viel herumreisen möchte, viel Spannendes zu entdecken wie "Les Jardins de Marqueyssac", "Chateau Milandes", "Jardin de l'eau", Sarlat etc. Danke an Fany und Guillaume für die wunderschöne Zeit, wir freuen uns auf eine Rückkehr zu euch!
Nous recommandons !Le gîte est convivial, fonctionnel et tout équipé.Les espaces extérieurs offrent un cadre vraiment superbe et de nombreuses activités clés en main. Situé à 3 min de la rivière de la Dordogne et à 10 min de Sarlat, nous avons pu rayonner vers la Roque-Gageac, Beynac, la grotte de Lascaux, le gouffre de Padirac et Rocamadour en quelques jours.Une semaine de vacances complète, facile et agréable, d'autant plus grâce à l'hospitalité et à la bienveillance de nos hôtes.Merci encore !

Merci Hubert !
Nous avons aussi passé de bons moments avec votre chouette famille. Nous sommes ravis que vous ayez passé un séjour à votre goût '-'.
A bientôt peut-être !
Gut ausgestattetes Feriendomizil mit liebevoll augesuchter Deko, schönem Pool und neugierigen, aber diskreten Hoftieren (Hühner & Katze) in einer wunderbaren Gegend.Fanny und ihre Familie waren perfekte Gastgeber, merci bien! Wir kommen gerne wieder !
Nous avons à nouveau passé quelques jours dans cette très belle région. L'emplacement de la Maison Girafe est idéal pour la découvrir ; le village proche offre toutes les commodités: pharmacie, boulangerie, boucherie, supérette. Nous avons été très bien accueillis par les propriétaires qui sont aux petits soins pour leurs hôtes.La maison, très agréable, très propre, bien équipée, est conforme au descriptif. Il est par ailleurs très appréciable que soient mis à disposition condiments, café et produits ménagers.La pluie ne nous a malheureusement pas permis de profiter des beaux espaces extérieurs. Nous recommandons donc cette location.

Ce serait pour nous aussi un plaisir de vous accueillir à nouveau et vous rencontrer un petit peu plus 🙂.
