Second visit

Our second time here and a wonderful property. A great choice given the heatwave for the duration of our stay. If you want peace in an authentic Perigord hamlet, right in the centre of the golden triangle, this is the place to stay

Lovely family holiday

We were met by the lovely and efficient Maryelene who answered our questions and made us feel comfortable.Characterful house containing everything you need for a good holiday. The swimming pool and hot tub were enjoyed by all the family it was just a pity that there were no shops within walking distance.We were impressed by the immediate response to the air conditioning having stopped working - a man appeared within the hour on a Sunday to fix it - thank you.Great holiday, highly recommended

Relaxing stay in St Julien

Great location with amazing views across the Dordogne river. House has been expertly renovated with all the amenities you would expect. Jacuzzi was a great bonus. However, the pool was a little chilly before the sun warmed it up. Overall a wonderful, relaxing holiday in a perfect location to access the Dordogne and region.

Stunning and peaceful setting.

The home is beautifully restored. A great country setting with spectacular views of Chateau Castelnaud and hot air balloons going overhead. An easy walk to the river. The pool and jacuzzi were very relaxing. Marylene was so charming and easy to work with at check in and checkout and during our stay.

Beautiful, peaceful home in Saint Julien

Lovely house with good air conditioning, a beautiful and refreshing pool, and relaxing jacuzzi, in small, peaceful hamlet of Saint Julien. Five minutes from all the facilities of nearby Cenac and close to all the main sites of the Dordogne. Great patisseries and restaurants closeby! Market at St Cyprien and restaurant La Belle Etoile highly recommended by our host, and well worth a visit. Would return in a flash to Gabriele’s lovely home!

Wonderful relaxing week

This is a super property. The pool area is lovely and provides sun or shade depending on your preference. The pool and jacuzzi were a big hit with our teenagers. There is a lovely small garden, a bbq, lots of comfortable space inside for relaxing and the house provided a welcome cool on very hot afternoons. The area is very scenic and there is lots to do and see. There are wonderful restaurants, markets and shops nearby. Would definitely recommend.

Wonderful place to stay

This is a wonderful place to stay. It has everything you could possibly need. It is tastefully decorated and everything blends with the age and character of the property. My grandson loved the swimming pool which with the heatwave was appreciated by us all after a morning’s sightseeing. The location is perfect with interesting places to visit nearby. The view from the lounge was magnificent especially when the hot air balloons appeared in the morning between 7.30 and 8 am. Castelnaud looks great lit up at night and can be seen from the property and on Thursday evenings the gardens at Marqueyssac are lit by 2000 “chandelles “ which can be seen from the property. Canoeing is great fun and is available at Cenac and Vitrac: I cannot fault this in any way.

A Haven in Cenac

We loved every minute of our time in this wonderful home and village. Cenac et St Julien exceeded every expectation, and the Tena's home did as well. We spent most of our time in the kitchen or out by the pool, and slept soundly and peacefully in the air conditioned bedrooms. My husband loved the hot tub, especially after walks up and down the hills. We did not have any trouble with the temperature in the hot tub, and my husband found that prior to his soaking he would run the tub for a few minutes to heat up a bit, and this worked perfectly. The views are incredible, and I must have taken 500 pictures. The birdsong was so lovely and we enjoyed long evening walks on the trails near the house. Each morning I made the short drive into Cenac for croissants and bread, and the Tuesday Market day was perfect for us. We are already planning our next visit and hope to spend even more time at this property as a week was just not enough!

Beautiful area, and tremendous views from the property.

I recommend this house to you! The house is beautiful and large. You will be in a small, quiet village with no shops, but it is easy to drive, and even to walk to the basics. The pool is small by US standards, but it was clean and a wonderful, refreshing amenity. The hot tub was great and clean as well -- it was a great refuge during a full day of rain on our trip. There are some outside "patio" chairs for you to relax on, and I suggest you do. The view from the second and third stories out toward Castelnaud is absolutely incredible. We saw sunsets and thunderstorms, and a group of hot-air balloons flew two hundred feet over the house at sunset! The weather was perfect during our stay, but there is air conditioning if you are staying during a heat wave. Note: If you've got any mobility issues, this isn't the place for you, as the tight spiral staircase would be tough - we had no problem and thought it added to the rustic charm of the place. Also to note: the third bedroom/bathroom (the one with two single beds) has very low beams and a "hobbit"-height en-suite 1/2 bathroom. The kids loved that! The kitchen was well-supplied. There were lots of cooking implements and dishes and major and minor appliances. You can pick up anything you need from the Carrefour, about 7 min away by car. Beds and linens were comfortable and clean, which is always #1. The second floor couches were comfortable, and that served as our hang-out spot when we weren't outside. The second floor living room is rather dark, and more lighting there would really bring it to life. We ended up bringing in a lamp from another room to brighten it up, which helped some. #1 Activity: . Canoe down the Dordogne. We did the 16km ("3-hour") canoe with Canoe Loisirs. It was perfect, as it ended up being 5.5 hours as we stopped and got out for lunch at Snack de Pirates (surprisingly great) and at a few other beaches to splash around. Very easy, shallow river, very safe. We were a 48-yo dad and a 14- and 12- year old in one 3-person canoe. It's cheap and a lot of fun. You take the canoe company's bus back to the start when you're done. Wonderful! This home deserves 5-stars. I highly recommend it. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Lovely period property with a fantastic view

This is a lovely old property that has been restored to a high standard and has all mod cons such as air conditioning in every room. The pool is small but beautiful and the view from there and the garden to the castle at Beynac is amazing. Even better from the upstairs lounge window! The village is incredibly quite and we had great restful two weeks. Cenac is 5 minutes down the road and has everything you might need including a great boulangerie that is open 7 days a week and a supermarket. We hugely recommend a 3 hour canoeing trip on the Dordogne (and we aren't young anymore) and hiring e-bikes from Castelnaud la Chapelle for an easy trip on the cycle paths to Daglan and beyond. The owner had great communication and was very easy to deal with for any questions that may arise about the property. Highly recommended!

Beau manoir dans une region magnifique

Belle décoration et respect de l'authenticité de la maison. Cependant l'état des sieges extérieurs et de la plancha a gâché notre arrivée. Reaction du propriétaire en demi-teinte. Nous etions à priori les 1er de la saison et il régnait une forte odeur de fumée et de renfermé, et comble de malchance le verrou de la porte fenêtre ne fonctionnait pas. Attention, le dernier étage est très mansardé. MAIS, quelle region magnifique !!!!

Typisches Haus im Perigord, Luxusklasse

Wir haben ein typisches Haus im Perigord gesucht, das uns neben den Sehenswürdigkeiten in diesem Gebiet auch einen unverfälschten Eindruck des Wohnens dort vermittelt. Lage: Perfekter Ausgangspunkt, alle wesentlichen Sehenswürdigkeiten sind gut erreichbar. Das Haus bietet einen schönen Blick, morgens und abends zusätzlich auf Heißlustballons, die das Tal in niedriger Höhe überqueren. Ausstattung: Das Haus entspricht der Beschreibung und ist gut ausgestattet. alle wesentlichen Küchenhelfer sind vorhanden. Waschmaschine, Trockner und Spülmaschine sind auf dem Stand der Technik. Für 6 Personen standen Bettwäsche, Handtücher und Badetücher zur Verfügung. Besonders liebenswert sind die 3 Badezimmer gestaltet. Am liebsten würde man jeden Tage ein anderes Badezimmer nutzen, da jedes der Bäder seinen eigenen Charm hat. Für kalte oder kältere Tage gibt es Fußbodenheizung, Heizkörper oder Warmluftheizungen, die auch als Klimageräte für heiße Tage nutzbar sind. Der Whirlpool befindet sich in einem extra Poolhaus, das durch die Abendsonne besonders nett in Szene gesetzt wird. Der Pool ist groß und tief genug zum Schwimmen, jedoch war die Wassertemperatur bei uns deutlich unter 20°C. Besonders angenehm war das Hoftor, das die gesamte Anlage nach außen abschließt und so für eine angenehme Privatsphäre im Garten und dem angrenzenden Poolhaus sorgt. Es stehen 2 Parkplätze auf dem Gelände zur Verfügung. Aufgrund der Bauweise müssen auch kleinere Personen damit rechnen, dass sie regelmäßig den Kopf einziehen müssen, insbesondere bei den beiden Schlafzimmer im Dachgeschoss. Zusammenfassung: Empfehlenswert für 4-6 Personen, die ursprüngliche Atmosphäre lieben, auf Luxus aber nicht verzichten wollen. Der Pool war zu unserer Reisezeit nicht nutzbar und damit nur ein Deko-Objekt, was das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis negativ beeinflusst. Hervorzuheben ist der nette Kontakt mit der Eigentümerin oder den Verwaltern. Insbesondere bei Übernahme des Hauses hatten wir das Gefühl, dass die Verwalter stolz auf dieses schöne Haus sind und deshalb auch die Ursprünglichkeit und Schönheit erhalten und gerne mit Gästen teilen.

Ervaring verblijf Cenac st Julien

Een prachtig oud authentiek huis op mooie lokatie. Van veel gemakken voorzien. We hebben daarvan genoten. Echter de ontvangst was onvriendelijk, gehaast en geen respect voor anderstalig dan Frans. Daarnaast was de communicatie met de vrouwelijke eigenaar over een aantal niet goed functionerende zaken uiterst onaangenaam. Gelukkig heeft de echtgenoot het telefonisch in het Engels wel goed opgelost. Dit gebeuren zorgde wel voor irritatie en stress en dat is spijtig.
