Jessica & Geordy at your disposal; ) Boy of the country and girl of the ocean (Atlantic), we threw ourselves body and soul in the restoration of our house in the years 2010 and make it enjoy to vacationers for more than 10 years. Lovers of our Périgord Noir and the jewels of the Dordogne valley, we are happy to share with you our haven of peace, nestled in the hollow of Castelnaud, between the church and the castle, just 10 km from the medieval city of Sarlat, surrounded by remarkable tourist sites and a generous nature, to offer you a bubble of air in our tumultuous world.

This house of the XVII is an old dependence of the castle of Castelnaud, opening on a very pretty little garden.

We are passionate self-builders and have restored this house with love and the precious help of our local artisan friends. Committed to authenticity, we have kept as many original elements as possible, such as the beautiful fireplace, beams and parquet flooring, while integrating modern and sustainable solutions, such as the installation of a pellet stove two years ago.
This house, originally built with the stones of the internationally known castle of Castelnaud (destroyed before being restored), testifies to the history and charm of the region. Transformed over the years, it now offers a unique space on three floors: the current kitchen was once a cellar, the living room on the second floor was separated into two rooms, and the bedroom was an attic.

We have preferred natural materials such as wood and stone, in order to create a warm and authentic atmosphere, conducive to relaxation and reconnection with the essential.
