This beautiful home was as described. The owner was so very helpful as was the onsite manager. The living quarters were well appointed and very comfortable. The grounds were relaxing and well maintained. This is a 10 out of 10 and we will visit again.
Beautiful, clean and super well equipped villa. Everything you need and more. Perfect for 2 families (1 upstairs and downstairs so you can all have your own space).
Beautiful views and the pool is great!
The location is very fine and in good condition.Garden and pool are perfect. There could be a little more cleaning...
The contact with the owner was very good!
Perfect place to relax and spend quality time with the family. Spacious interior and exterior, with many places to relax outside. We enjoy cooking and used the well equipped kitchen and bbq a lot. Due to mistake in the app, the house was mistakenly advertised with a charging point for electrical cars. When we realized the error, Fabienne immediately fixed it by installing a charger. Ultimate service.In short, if you plan to stay in this region, look no further
What a delightful house, owned by a delightful lady. We have been renting in the Dordogne area for over 10 yrs and this property was probably the best we have ever found.Fabienne had curated the most detailed pre-visit pack we had ever come across. Her attention to detail was far beyond what we had encountered in previous holidays.We arrived during a heatwave which was difficult but tolerable (although that would have occurred wherever had stayed). Once it had calmed down it was glorious. Great pool, great views, great holiday. Thank you!
It is difficult to find new words to add to previous glowing reports in praise of this beautiful house and its stunning grounds. The accommodation was perfect for our party of six, with the lower ground floor bedrooms providing extra privacy and separate access. Our every need was catered for and every facility provided for a fabulous holiday in a superb setting. Sincerest thanks from us all to our host Fabienne, who went over and above our expectations. Truly appreciated.

Highly recommended
We, a family of 5, stayed at the house for 5 nights during early April this year. The house is very beautiful, specious, fully equipped and maintain under high standards. The location is very convenient as it is only few minutes' drive from some nice villages and about 25 minutes from Sarlat. The Surrounding is peaceful and the views from the back yard are all greenery and nature.
The owner, Fabienne, was very helpful, nice, attentive and responsive. She sent us detailed list of recommendations for sightseeing, local markets, groceries and restaurants in the area and answered in no time for whatever question or request we had.
We truly enjoyed our stay and we highly recommend!

Fantastic property with everything needed to be comfortable. Many places with chairs, tables, umbrellas, to sit in sun or shade on different terraces, beautiful view from the rear terrace over the pool and fields and woodland as far as the eye can see.
Quiet and peaceful, hot air balloons floating past, wonderful stars as no light pollution if conditions are good, we even saw the Milky Way.
Plenty of bathrooms for all, the air conditioning in the tower rooms were appreciated as it got to 40 degrees during the stay.
Fabienne was quick to communicate and the house manual is packed with information. Fully recommend “ le Petit Paris” restaurant in Daglan but do book. Great food and lovely atmosphere.
All in all a very enjoyable holiday we would recommend to anyone visiting the Dordogne. Even the teenagers had plenty to do.
Thank you Fabienne
The House - outstandingly beautiful, traditional, practical, well equipped, spacious, and the kitchen of my dreams! The extensive garden is extremely private with a large private pool and lots of loungers. There is a large terrace, perfect for long slow meals.
The Location - perfect! The immediate area is so quiet and relaxing. There is no traffic, the only sounds are the birds. The view is one of soaring buzzards, trees and hot air balloons. Although very rural, the property sits within close proximity to many beautiful towns and sites. In fact, within a 20 min radius, by car, you can visit Domme, Cenac, Fort de Roque, Daglan, Sarlat, Josepine Baker Chateux, etc.
Fabienne (the owner) - unfortunately we didn't meet Fabienne this time but she is incredibly kind, warm and fair. Obviously a lady of good taste and class, hopefully I can cook with her some day in that fantastic kitchen!
Myriam (the manager) - oh my word, what a woman! So kind, thoughtful, attentive and accommodating. Full of local knowledge and recommendations, has a beautiful welcoming smile and nothing is too much trouble.
Thank you to both Fabienne and Myriam for a wonderful property for our family holiday.

Dear Geraint, it was a pleasure to welcome your family. Communication was very easy and I thank you to have taken good care of the house. I'd love to cook with you next time but to be honest, my husband is far better than me. He was very involved in the equipment of the kitchen :) I'll thank Myriam for you she will for sure appreciate the compliments and I am very happy you enjoyed your time in the house and in the neighborhood. I like the guests to feel at home in our house and have a real relaxing time - as we have when we come in our beloved secondary house in Dordogne. Hope to welcome you and your family again one day. All the best
Cannot fault anything about the house and garden! Our two week stay was pure heaven. Nothing to listen to otherthan the birds plus the stunning views from the garden were wonderful. We had hot air balloons fly by on the warm dry nights. Lots of buzzards, kites, eagles etc circling on the thermals above the house. Redstarts, blackbirds etc vising the garden.
The heated pool was divine with so many sun loungers it was easy to lounge hop to the next sunny spot.
So many outside areas to sit and eat/drink or just enjoy the sounds of the crickets.
A superbly stocked kitchen meant we had every kitchen gadget we could possible want. I was very happy to see a large range products were provided from laundry liquid to spf50 sunscreen to an array of first aid items too.
Fabulous lounge area and huge comfy sofas. We opted for the double bed room upstairs with the shower room being inside the bell tower. Bed was perfect. We did use the ac during week two as the temperatures reached high twenties upstairs was very toasty.
Wifi to start with was a challenge as the information in the house manual wasnt too clear however we got there in the end. I did leave a post it note in the manual showing the network and code.
Comms with Fabienne cannot be faulted - she very quickly responded to emails.
A huge driveway at the front for at least 5 cars. Plus theres the shaded lane over the wall to park too.
We loved this place and will return.

A beautiful house in a fantastic location.
What a fantastic place! We stayed at the beginning of September and had a wonderful time. The house is bright, spacious and very well designed. The living area is large and was perfect for our group that consisted of two families (4 adults and 5 children ranging from 7 -16 years old).
The kitchen is fabulous, it has everything you could possibly want or need, with a stunning view to match. If you like to cook, this is the place to do it as it’s better equipped than my kitchen at home! The owner, Fabienne, left us some delicious wine and all of the essentials such as teabags, olive oil, sugar, salt, washing up liquid etc, which was a very nice personal touch.
The garden is vast, with a super swimming pool surrounded by sun loungers and has breathtaking view of the local countryside. There is a barbecue and seating area where we enjoyed several alfresco meals whilst watching the hot air balloons rise over the hills in the evening.
The bathrooms are all very clean and have fantastic showers. The beds are comfortable and there is ample space in each room for clothes storage.
There are beautiful pieces of antique furniture mixed with the contemporary which works very well. We particularly liked the pastel-painted drawers which complemented the shadows cast by the incredible overhead light shade in the living room - amazing attention to detail all round.
The location is perfect for exploring near by Daglan, Domme and Sarlat. The nearest supermarket is in Cénac-et-Saint-Julien - a 10 minute drive away, which has everything, including a very good butchers, cheese counter and very reasonably priced wine. The town also has a fantastic Artisan Boulangerie, 'Les Delices de Pito' where you can buy delicious fresh croissants, pastries and bread from early in the morning.
To sum up, we were delighted with this holiday home and wish we could have stayed longer. It has everything you could possibly want and left us all feeling very relaxed. Thank you Fabienne.

Thank you so much Liz. It was a real pleasure to welcome you and your friends and family.
Dit is verreweg een van de fijnste en mooiste huizen die ik ooit heb gehuurd. Het zwembad is heerlijk en goed beveiligd. Het heeft een fantastische ruime woonkamer met open keuken die voorzien is van alles wat je je maar kunt wensen. De slaapkamers zijn uitgerust met uitstekende bedden (lekker ruim) en de tuin is super mooi en groot... Communicatie met de Host verliep vlekkeloos, zij is super snel met haar reacties. Kortom, een absolute aanrader.
Nous avons passé une excellente semaine de vacances dans cette magnifique propriété parfaitement équipée et située dans un environnement calme mais proche de toutes les commodités et de nombreux sites touristiques. La maison est grande et sa disposition permet à deux familles de bénéficier d'un grand espace isolé. La vue dégagée sur le jardin est incroyable et la piscine est très agréable. Nous avons bénéficié de l'accueil très chaleureux de Myriam à notre arrivée. Les conseils donnés par la propriétaire et Myriam nous ont permis de prendre rapidement nos marques et d'apprécier pleinement le lieu. La région est magnifique, nous reviendrons vous pouvez compter sur nous Fabienne !
Merci à Fabienne et Myriam pour l'accueil et la disponibilité.Nous avons passé 15 jours dans un cadre formidable, belle demeure ou rien ne manque, super équipée, Encore merci, nous reviendrons dans la région finir la découverte de cette belle Dordogne et si disponible dans votre belle bâtisse La localisation de la maison permet , dans un moindre rayon, d accéder à des sites magnifiques. Xavier et Stéphanie
Fantastisch mooi en goed geoutilleerd vakantiehuis met grote keuken die van alle keukenapparatuur en keukengerei is voorzien. Buiten, rondom het huis mooie terrassen met voldoende en goed meubilair. Ook het zwembad is voorzien van alle gemakken. Alles is en wordt goed onderhouden. Vriendelijk welkom door host.
We hebben twee heerlijke weken gehad. We waren met 4 volwassenen en 2 kinderen. Fabienne heeft alles tot in de puntjes verzorgd. De locatie is een perfecte uitvalsbasis voor de meest leuke dagtochtjes. De tuin is werkelijk adembenemend mooi. Wat een uitzicht, wat een privacy! Wij komen zeker terug
We’ve just spent a lovely week at this house. Had everything we needed for our family of 2 adults and 2 children age 9 and 10. The location is perfect. House and garden are very private not overlooked with beautiful views. Nearest 2 villages with bakeries, shops and restaurants are 5 and 8 minute drives away. La roque-gageac is just 15 minutes drive away where we spent a great day hiring kayaks on the river. There’s lots to do in the area.
Propriété très agréable et confortable, (lits de bonne qualité, cuisine très bien équipée), avec une vue superbe sur la vallée et un grand terrain qui a permis aux enfants de jouer dehors.
Nous sommes venus pour les fêtes de Noël et avons apprécié l'endroit, même si c'était l'hiver.
Ce doit être magnifique l'été...

Excellents locataires. Ils sont charmants et ont pris grand soin de la maison.
Je recommande sans réserve.
Au plaisir de vous recevoir à nouveau... l été?
Ideal property for large family group or 2 families or family with older teenagers as the lower ground is like a suite of bedrooms as is the top floor so everyone can have a bit of space. Pool is lovely. Area is beautiful - everything is in very easy reach of the property. Very friendly, helpful house manager who speaks excellent English. Would highly recommend.
We were 6 adults who spent 10 days in this wonderful property. First, Mrs. Saugier was extremely responsive to all our questions while preparing for the trip. She always answered our email messages very promptly with lots of useful information. Second, once in the house, Myriam made sure that we were welcomed and showed us around. The house is extremely well equipped, from kitchen utensils, to blankets, sheets, and also a booklet/guest book of very well written instructions, in English as well as French. There are several places outside the house (in the yard) where one can sit and enjoy conversations regardless of the time of the day (if you want to be in the shade). The swimming pool is great too. We took daily trips to many different cities and villages, mainly for sightseeing. Mrs. Saugier' guest book has many useful hints on what to visit and where to shop and also eat.
In summary, we very highly recommend this place.

Magnifique semaine en Perigord ....
…. et surtout dans cette belle maison pleine de charme et où l'on se sent immédiatement chez soi - tout y est : verdure , calme , confort , ouverture sur la campagne . Nous avions tous les ingrédients nécessaires à des vacances propices à la détente et à la découverte des merveilleux sites qui entourent la Dordogne et se trouvant dans un très proche périmètre ; très appréciable lorsqu'on a des enfants.
Un grand merci à Mme Saugier , sa propriétaire, qui fut toujours à notre écoute et très attentive dans les moindres détails pour nous rendre ce séjour très agréable
Nous y reviendrions avec plaisir

An excellent holiday property and venue
We were all delighted with our holiday at this excellent property in the Dordogne. The accommodation was great for the six of us and would easily house 8 people. It was spacious, cool when it was very hot outside and very well appointed. It had everything that you might need and the kitchen was particularly well equipped.
We made maximum use of the beautiful pool which definitely benefitted from being heated. The constant 28º C was a delight for the children and adults alike. There was plenty of outside shade and the umbrellas around the pool and the house were a definite bonus as the weather was sunny and very warm for the whole of the 2 weeks that we were at Le Pigeonnier at the end of June. We all enjoyed the various seating areas which maximised the use of either sun or shade depending on the time of day. We particularly liked sitting looking at the distant view each evening with a cool drink, guessing how many hot air balloons we might see in the distance!
Quite a bit of wildlife to keep us all alert too. Numerous birds including treecreepers and hoopoes; red squirrels, deer, hare in the garden and many chickens, goats, dogs and cats, frogs etc in the neighbouring farm. Plenty to keep the children interested!
The nearby villages were exciting to explore and a delight for the occasional coffee and lunch. Shopping for essentials was very easy and the information in the house directed us to the best supermarkets and boulangeries. Shops in Daglan were close. The Pilo in Cénac was excellent for a vast range of breads and unbelievable cakes and pastries. We visited most of the small and larger markets in the area, all listed in the house book, each had it’s own particular benefit. The Truffle Market in Daglan proved very interesting and obviously focused on local summer truffles. We found leaving early for the market in Sarlat was good advice from David the pool cleaner. We missed all the traffic into Sarlat and found parking easy. Get there by 9.00 am if you can and enjoy breakfast in the square!
The owner, Fabienne, was extremely friendly throughout the booking process, while we were at the property and following our return to the UK. She couldn’t have been more helpful.
We had a wonderful time at Le Pigeonnier and would highly recommend it to our friends and family.

Dear Greg,
I am so glad that you fully enjoyed your holidays and I must say that you are good guests and the communication with you is really easy.
I can't believe you've seen a deer in the garden ! Near the woodland at the back of the garden, far from the house, I guess. But you are the second guest who watches one (make a wish !).
We'll be very happy to welcome you again.
