If we could rate this higher than five stars, we would. For a couple who seeks a quiet environment, close to nature but also convenient for day tripping in this culturally blessed region, Le Rigaudou is ideal. As others have mentioned, it is artfully decorated in a style simple and sympathetic to its surroundings and to the original architecture of the house. Impeccable taste marks both all the gites and the beautiful pool and its tended garden surroundings.
You will find your hosts, Mireille and Viviane helpful and genial yet discreet and unobstrusive. In short, all one could want in hosts for a gite.
It is hard to say enough good things about the environment here. If "away from it all" with beauty and adventure close at hand is the door to perfection in a vacation, Le Rigaudou or either of the smaller gites should offer you a memorable and restorative vacation.
Finally, on a personal note: while my wife and I were staying at Le Rigaudou, I experienced a very unexpected life-threatening health crisis. Viviane and Mireille stayed by my wife's side and assisted her and me through the frightening and complex task of dealing with the health-care system of a foreign country (which itself turned out to be efficient in dealing with my crisis). We were truly blessed by their assistance and companionship.
