About this property

19th Century Water Mill on Outskirts of Beautiful Dordogne Village

A converted 19th century water mill next to the village of Sainte-Alvère, famed as the heart of truffle country, beautifully preserved and an accredited "Ville Fleurie". The mill is a 5 minute walk to the market square on a quiet road. The village has restaurants , small shops and a bar, plus a tourist information centre where you can learn about the many activities you can do in the area. The mill benefits from a wrap around balcony and two separate terraces giving access to the extensive grounds, and large 12 x 6 private pool (open May-Oct) . The lower terrace also has a summer outdoor kitchen with BBQ equipment, gas hob and fridge freezer. There is a large private garden and guests are also welcome to wander the adjoining meadows ( 6 acres (2 hectares)). Inside the mill there is a well equipped kitchen and a lounge, both opening onto the balcony. There are four bedrooms, three in the upper part of the mill, the fourth room is at the garden level and accessed via external steps. Three rooms have ensuite shower rooms and toilets, while the fourth is next to the house bathroom, with bath, shower and separate toilet. All rooms have king size beds as standard, but two of the upstairs bedrooms can also be set up as twin single beds instead. A child's cot for ages 0 to 4 years can be provided.

Super séjour en famille
Nous avons passé le week-end ma famille et moi dans ce superbe gîte tres bien équipé. Le cadre est très calme et très agréable. Le gîte est très spacieux. Il y a même une piscine extérieure pour les jours d'été. De plus, les propriétaires sont d'une extrême gentillesse et toujours prêt à rendre service. Un grand merci à eux pour leur accueil. Nous serions ravis d'y retourner pour 1 futur séjour.

A great week in France
This house is superb, fully equipped and suitable for all ages. The outdoor kitchen during the summer months is an great addition. Presented clean and tidy. Spacious rooms, beds are large and comfortable. A beautiful setting with plentiful outdoor space. Outdoor toys provided. The village is a short walk away either via the road or a short woodland walk. A plentiful kitchen equipment and crockery, glasses etc. inc sharp knives. The pool being immaculate. The hospitality of the hosts who gave us lots of recommendations and the excellent market on a Monday, gorgeous bustling little village with two great restaurants and a great pizzeria nearby (Tremolat). Be sure to treat yourself to a visit to Dix. A great location with several local nearby villages to visit. Bergerac is a 30 min car ride away. A great base to explore a beautiful area of France

Lovely Dordogne holiday
The house is lovely and comfortable, but what is particularly wonderful about this property is its extensive grounds amply equipped.We loved eating outdoors in the evenings especially. Everything about the property is really well thought out with owners nearby (but unobtrusive)for any problems. We had a problem with a fridge freezer not working and it was changed the same day, very impressive! We really liked the nearby village which is very pretty and meets day to day need. Lots to do locally too and lovely part of France. We plan to return!

Tranquillity and beauty in Bergerac region
A lovely 2 week stay in this stunning part of mid-southern France! 30 mins drive from Bergerac Airport with 1 hour flight time via London City (which we had to use for a brief return to the UK mid stay); 6 hours drive from Paris; 2 hours drive to Bordeaux or 8 to Calais for a UK tunnel crossing. Gite came fully equipped with all we needed as a multi generational family of 6. Village of Sainte-Alvère is 10 mins walk - 5 if you are fit! There you will find a bar/tabac, Pharmacy, 2 boulangeries, a post office a decent size general store plus 2 very good restaurants. We tried/used all of these amenities throughout the stay and highly recommend all for their purpose! 20 mins drive to the market town of Le Bugue with 3 major supermarkets, many bars, restaurants, banks, tabac's, Post Office etc so all you need if not in the local village - even 'Duck Gym' which considering it is located in a rural area was very well equipped and well priced at €20 per week to use without restriction. We loved the gite, the area & the region - Brandan was helpful and on hand as our host. Thoroughly recommend this accommodation. 6 acres of garden space so plenty of space to kick a rugby / football around, play badminton, petanque or anything you wish as it affords personal space for all too. Pool decent size and kept clean twice a day by the hosts. One warning, it is rural, and as an old mill it is surrounded by streams (some are clogged so lots of night time 'midgy' activity so bring mozzy spray!
