Very charming home in a great location within the village. We visited during the coldest time of year so we didn’t get to enjoy the courtyard, however it definitely would have added to the charm of the property. The beds are on the hard side, very French, but the home was well equipped, which made cooking very easy. Would definitely return.

Beautiful home in a charming town

We loved our stay in this beautiful home. The house was immaculately clean and very well appointed. The property manager was very responsive. The information provided about the house, the town and the region is very comprehensive. All is very well organized and made our visit so much easier. Highly recommended rental.

The house is lovely and very well appointed. The kitchen was stocked with excellent dinnerware, cutlery, equipment and glassware. All was as described in the VRBO listing. Angela, the house manager was eager to answer any and all questions re the house. The owners, John and Louise, provided superb communication and well curated local information. This is a perfect spot for exploring the Dordogne!

Ideal medieval village home in Périgord

Another lovely stay in Maison de la Paix. House is clean, comfortable for a group, and well- equipped. Charming and friendly village. Good location for many interesting day trips. Good selection of local restaurants. Kitchen is set up for efficient meal prep. Hope to return again.

We used this property for a holiday with extended family for a week. The property was excellent, lots of room to spread out. The bedrooms were a very generous size. The kitchen could hold three chefs without getting in each others way. It was extremely hot when we were there so we ate out in the garden for every meal. The house was exactly as described. We had no issues with parking.The various shops were lovely and quite upmarket. We ate at Restaurant L'Atellier and La Bruceliere and both were outstanding. We also had the Friday night fish and chips special at Le Lion D'Or next door to the church. The Sunday market was the biggest we saw on our travels and I am sure it's much bigger in the summer.Our host was very easy to communicate with and always responded within a few hours.I highly recommend this property. We had a wonderful stay.

Can’t wait to go back!

Maison de la Paix is a stunning home with tons of character and charm. The beds were so comfortable and the kitchen was equipped with everything you could possibly need. The location, in the town of Issigeac, can’t be beat. All the essentials are steps from your front door. John and Louise are dedicated hosts and Brenda gave the warmest welcome. We can’t wait to return!

Our 4th visit to Issigeac and the best property

The property is extremely spacious including the bedrooms. It is also near a parking area. it is extremely well fitted out and has everything you might possible need, particularly for me a printer which was very usefull. The house is about 50 meters from a good boulangerie, which is great in the mornings.

Ideal base for exploring Perigord

Beautiful, well-furnished, well-equipped, warm and comfortable home in small medieval village. House “lived” large and offered plenty of spaces for socializing and for private time. Most sights 60-90 minute drive but Issigeac is a lovely village full of friendly people when you want a day off from exploring. Countless wonderful restaurants and farm markets. Both the owners and local house manager are very responsive and helpful. I highly recommend this property and hope to return - there’s a lot to see in the region!

So glad you enjoyed your stay and thanks for the lovely review! Being a relatively unspoiled medieval village dating from the 13th - 16th centuries and being built on the remains of a 5th century Roman Villa, “sights to see” start within walking distance from the front door of Maison de la Paix and then range anywhere from a short drive, to as far as you want to explore on any given day. One of our favourite pastimes is to plan a day outing taking a quiet countryside route passing various sights and then later sitting down to a 'plat du jour', or our own picnique lunch somewhere along the way, mingling with locals, before meandering back home doing much the same, but on a different route. There is so much to see and explore, near and far, that one could quite literally spend years doing it. As you say an ideal base for exploring Perigord.

Can't Say Enough

This property is outstanding. We were there for 10dsts total and I SAS very reluctant to leave. The house is so well equipped we needed nothing except or did... And wine of course. Many memories were made and I'm sure we will be back soon. Highly highly recommended on all accounts

Once Upon a Time.....

On a scale of 1-10, this property and our experience in the area deserve a 15! The photos and info online totally represent the home so that while there you genuinely feel transformed to a by-gone time of subdued elegance. The property owner was easy to contact; communication was prompt and helpful. This was truly a highlight of our 2019 journey in France.

Perfect in every way

This large and commodious maison is perfect for any group, but particularly for larger parties. All rooms are spacious, bright, and nicely appointed. The kitchen has everything needed for those who enjoy cooking. The garden and garden furniture add a further dimension, as does the large living room fireplace. We loved the location at the edge of an active and gorgeous village - quiet at night, but handy to all amenities. Lastly, we were well looked after by Brenda and her team. In every way, this was a perfect home from home - we stayed a month, and would have loved to have stayed longer.

outstanding

This house is truly outstanding. For a 13th century house, it is incredibly comfortable and provides all the amenities that 21st century travelers could want. The wifi for example was the fastest that we encountered in France. The village itself is absolutely charming an offers shops that can easily provide all basic needs (except on Mondays); you'll have to go to the Supermarche in Bergerac. Location is ideal for visiting most of the tourist venues in the Perigord. For us , a great vacation and leisurely respite from the insanity of DC.

AMAZING!

Our time in Issigeac was wonderful! We stayed in the house for one month and we didn't want to leave when it was time to go back to the States. The house was beautiful, comfortable, and had everything necessary to cook large family meals. The property manager was very friendly and helpful on the few occasions we needed something or had a question. The town was so friendly and we loved the local markets and festivals. Bergerac was only 20 minutes away and easily accessible for the times we wanted a visit a larger town. But after a busy day in Bergerac or Bordeaux, it was always nice to come "home" to Issigeac and relax in the beautiful living room in front of the fireplace. I highly recommend this house if you want to be surrounded by beauty and friendly people.

Absolutely Amazing

We stayed here for two weeks and had a wonderful time. The property is exactly as advertised, beautifully restored, clean and comfortable, fully equipped, perfectly located and very difficult to leave. We explored the countryside and surrounding villages based on John and Louises recommendations and knowledge of the area and really we could not have wished for more from a vacation. From the moment we were greeted by Brenda to the moment we sadly closed the front door for the last time our stay was exceptional. Issigeac is a lovely little village very easy to wander around and even though we were there off-season we found enough open for dinners etc. The surrounding countryside is truly beautiful and the driving around from village to village very easy on good roads. I had to tear my wife away from this fairy-tale location at the end of our stay and only managed to pry her hand off the door handle with the promise that we would return one day soon.

Thank you Charles. It gives us great pleasure to be able to share Maison de la Paix with others, so that they too may use it as a base to enjoy Issigeac, The Perigord and the surrounding countryside and villages. Maison de la Paix waits to welcome you, if you do get to return next year as you plan. All the best to you both.

Even better the second time around

We returned a year after our first stay for a repeat experience and the same 5 star review as last year applies!! We actually started to feel a little bit special when the owners of the Le Relais de l'Ancienne Gare (our absolute favourite restaurant) greeted us with French gusto on our arrival and even Christian at the local bar seemed to recognize us. So the Maison is as wonderful as ever. Clean, comfortable, spacious and convenient and the area of Issigeac and surrounds speaks for itself. We spent many happy hours cycling around this most beautiful countryside and returning to the Maison for a rest and cocktail before wandering around this ageless village. We have been fortunate to have travelled to many parts of the world but I have to say I am not sure if this little corner of France can be beat. We are smitten and will try our best to return once more. Kudos to John and Louise for having the vision to invest in this paradise and thanks for sharing it :)

Maison de la Paix is probably the loveliest

My husband and I have rented many top - of - the - line homes over the years and Maison de la Paix is probably the loveliest. My husband and I, our nephew and his wife and their two children enjoyed a wonderful, memory filled six nights at Maison de la Paix. All of the four bedrooms are elegant; three have en suite baths. The kitchen is modern and has every amenity. The dining room is elegant but comfortable. John, the owner, put together a booklet which he will provide to all renters. The booklet tells you everything you need to know about the house, the village, the neighboring villages, the nearby chateaux and everything you need to know for day trips. The village is like something out of Disney, especially when it is lit up at night. Rather, Disney must have copied Issigeac to create the French village for Beauty and the Beast.

A Wonderful (French) Life

My wife and I absolutely adored our stay in this lovely (and super well equipped) home! And our guests agree. Starting with the flawlessly simple arrival process to the checkout, everything was as good as advertised. What else can I say? But let me add a bit more. Beds comfortable, furnishings well planned out. Went to the market and need a food processor to make that special dinner? It’s there. Want to check out the local antique shops but it’s raining? Umbrellas under the back stairs. Just want to relax with a book and glass of local wine? Take a three minute walk to the SPAR and choose from their selection of local wine or a short drive to one of many local vineyards and then choose a book from the library in the house. Don’t want to read? How about watching that old Pink Panther DVD. And, boundless things to do and see in the area, great walks and/or short drives to discover countless villages with markets of their own and sights to see. And when in town stop by the patisserie a few doors away (a really great place). I guess I’m done.
