About this property

Maison Panoramique - Charming Stone House perched atop the cliff, Stunning Vista

Enter a gate and walk down a garden path to this charming stone house on the cliff and adjacent to the historic church. Spectacular views of the Lot river and countryside. The house occupies a tranquil location just away from the center of the village but secluded by its own gate and gardens. 3 double bedrooms, 2 full baths, two terraces. Dine al fresco on the grape vine covered terrace cooled by river breezes while you enjoy amazing vistas of the river. Built in outdoor BBQ. Well-furnished, fully equipped gourmet kitchen. Laundry, free wifi, TV with French channels, CD/DVD player. Free calls almost anywhere in the world from the house phone. Fresh linens supplied weeklyif requested.

The master bedroom is on the lower level of the house and has its own door to a balcony. The second double bedroom is in a separate structure on the opposite side of the terrace. Ideal setting for two couples or a family! Please know that this is an old stone structure and somewhat rustic - no central heat or cooling, though there is AC in the living room on the main floor and in the attic bedroom.

Dinner can be provided on the night of arrival, prepared by a local chef, if prearranged with the owner.

The route along the Lot River is considered the most beautiful 100 km in France and the Medieval village of St Cirq Lapopie is listed as one of the most beautiful in France (actually voted #1 by travelers recently). Though small, it is home to several excellent restaurants, numerous charming shops and galleries, and many artists. It is also a wonderful base from which to explore the region. One of the most exquisite caves containing prehistoric art is just 10 minutes away. The area is ideal for wine tasting, hiking, biking, canoeing, kayaking, visiting chateaus, shopping at local markets and brocantes, or just relaxing.

Why they chose this property

We stayed in Maison Panoramique for two weeks and fell in love with the house and the village. We had the uncanny feeling of having come "home." By good fortune, the owners were willing to sell the home and we had no hesitation.

What makes this property unique

Among all the properties for rental in the village, this one alone sits above the river. The house has a large private terrace for outdoor dining, having coffee or wine with family and friends, or simply taking in the spectacular views. The large stone terrace covered by grape vines and overlooking the river with table for dining that seats up to 8 is a wonderful place to sit, socialize, read, and simply enjoy the tranquility and fabulous views. The house offers full amenities including unlimited phone international calls, internet, DVD/CD player, French TV, built in barbecue on terrace, full kitchen.
St Cirq Lapopie is a true Medieval village that has survived into the present and offers a taste of the past. It is a great pleasure to stroll through the charming streets, explore small shops, have a meal in one of several good restaurants, shop at the weekly market, picnic at the nearby beach, or canoe or kayak on the river.
St Cirq Lapopie is considered one of the most beautiful villages in France and the road along the Lot River is said to be the most beautiful 100 km in France. Tour a nearby chateau, go wine tasting at a local vineyard (appellation Cahors), drive through the countryside or visit markets in nearby villages - the possibilities for fun and exploration are seemingly endless.
