Idyllic retreat

Well equipped, extremely clean gite in stunning location, with Marcia the owner being the perfect host. This was the most peaceful location we have ever stayed in, yet close to all the main sightseeing in this area of the Dordogne. I can't recommend this property more highly.

Le Petit Paradis is certainly was!!

Le Petit Paradis lives up to its name. It's a stylish, well-appointed gite with state of the art cooking appliances. The gite was so thoughtfully put together by Marcia who met us on arrival and who was on hand but at the same time discreet. Sadly the weather took a turn for the worse and we were unable to take advantage of the lovely pool and generous outside space (we managed a few reading sessions in between showers). The Dordogne area surrounding the gite is lovely and there are many attractions nearby although a car is needed. Marcia's knowledge of the area is second to none and she was an extremely lovely host. Best gite we stayed in by far! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to return soon.

Just what it says on the tin !

We loved our stay here. Everything was provided for a great stay . As we arrived on a Sunday no shops or restaurants were open and she kindly did some shopping for us in advance and when we arrived it was in the fridge waiting for us. Nothing was too much trouble . We especially liked the hens and chicks who were very entertaining . Thanks Marcia

Excellent gite

Beautiful location in the heart of the Dordogne with a great view of a chateau from the outdoor pool. Supermarket only10 minutes drive away, nearest town of Sarlat about 40 minutes drive. The host Marcia is very helpful and accommodating, and the gite is spotlessly clean and had everything we required. Highly recommended.

Gîte super dans un cadre magnifique et calme

Un havre de paix. Voilà ce qu’a été pour nous le « Petit paradis ». Nous avons pu nous reposer et malgré la chaleur, nous avons découvert une partie de cette super région ! Les hôtes sont hyper discrets et Marcia très accueillante et dynamique. Le cadre est idyllique et la maison très bien conçue. Même pas besoin de mettre la climatisation malgré la canicule ! La piscine est magnifique et super bien entretenue par toute la famille Nous reviendrons très certainement mais plutôt en mai ou septembre pour pouvoir mieux visiter.

Wunderschöne Tage im Périgord noir

Diese kleine, sehr liebevoll eingerichtete Gîte mit großem Terrassen- und Gartengrundstück, traumhaften Pool mit noch traumhafterer Aussicht auf das Chateau du Peuch ist ganz besonders und perfekt gelegen, um die Sehenswürdigkeiten des Périgord noir in Kürze zu erreichen: das Tal der Vézère und seine Höhlen, Lascaux, Sarlat sowie jede Menge Schlösser und ihre Gärten. Marcia Hill ist eine wunderbare Gastgeberin, die Sauberkeit hätte 6 Sterne verdient, die Küche ist für Selbstversorger perfekt eingerichtet. Das Kinderzimmer ist für einen Teenager etwas klein, was uns aber für die knappe Woche nicht gestört hat. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und kommen bestimmt wieder!

Stop searching and just book it, you wont be disappointed !

We had a wonderful stay at the Petit Paradis. It was so relaxing just sitting in the garden surrounded by woodland listening to and watching flycatchers, woodpeckers and nuthatches. At night, under the blackest, starriest skies we listened to tawny owls and in the early hours a red deer stag bellowing. Butterflies were numerous in the garden and surrounding meadows and there was no need to take the car out on many days as the walks around the gite were quiet and scenic. A short drive takes you to numerous beautiful villages, archeological sites and the exhibition at Lascaux is not to be missed. The pool was extremely welcome in the hot weather and the gite wonderfully cool. Marcia was a great host giving us information on places to visit and what markets were on etc. If we could have changed the locks and stayed there indefinitely we would have !

Perfect, romantic getaway

The gite was exactly as described! It was absolutely perfect for what we were looking for. It is in a relatively remote location, so you definitely need a car, but this makes it secluded and private. The pool area was beautiful and the gite itself is so well equipped and even had aircon which was needed when we visited (which was over the heatwave). Marcia was the perfect host - she was always contactable and on hand for advice if we needed her but left us to ourselves most of the time which was perfect. I would highly recommend this beautiful gite - thanks Marcia for having us.

Spent a fabulous 2 weeks in this wonderful home from home property. Our first time exploring this area, Vézère and Dordogne are both beautiful.

We had a wonderful stay in Petit Paradis. The terrace looks over the valley and a beautiful chateau

Our stay here was excellent. The gite is beautifully presented with every convenience provided. It is a perfect base for exploring the Périgord region and it was great to come back at the end of the day to sit out and watch the sunset over the lush forests. Marcia and Neil live in the adjoining house. They are welcoming and helpful. If you are looking for a peaceful haven of song birds and nature in a beautiful location we would highly recommend this Gite.

About the host

Hosted by Marcia Hill

We have been passionate about Périgord Noir since long before we moved here in 2006 with our two daughters. We feel very privileged to live in such a beautiful region with so much to do and explore. It is a real pleasure to share with our guests the knowledge of the area and based on the great reviews we received in our first year our guests agree with us that we live in a “Petit Paradis”!

Why they chose this property

The Périgord is envied the world over for the splendors of its traditional gastronomy. High-quality products used in the preparation of its local cuisine include foie gras, other duck- and goose-based ingredients, the famous black truffles of the Périgord, chestnuts, walnuts (which have been awarded their own Appellation d’Origine Contrôlée (AOC) label), and Périgord strawberries, not forgetting the wines of Bergerac (13 of which are AOC), produced from top grape varieties on land that neighbors the “grands crus classés” of Bordeaux and the sweet wine of Mombazillac, perfect for accompany foie gras.
The Vézère Valley is home to some of the richest historical sites in Europe, including prestigious sites, famous Caves such as Lascaux and natural rock shelters. Fifteen of these decorated sites are classified as UNESCO World Heritage Sites also the Valley has a concentration of the most beautiful buildings of the Middle ages and the Renaissance, including castles perched on the rock, villages full of character (10 of which are officially listed among the “Plus beaux villages de France” (France’s Most Beautiful Villages such as St Lèon sur Vézère - 10 min away) and of course, renowned towns such as Sarlat and Périgueux, officially classified as a “Ville d’art et d’Histoire” (Town of Art and History).

What makes this property unique

The unique benefit of “Petit Paradis” is the fact that although we are in a rural setting we are not isolated; having the villages of Montignac 15min away, Perigueux and Sarlat 30 min and so many tourist sites in our door step such as Lascaux, La Roque St Christophe, Maison de Reinac, Grotte de la Grande Roc, Chateau de Losse, Village troglodytique de La Madeleine, Roc de Cazelle, Gardens de Eyrignac, Parc Prehistoric, Grottes de Font-de- Gaume et Rouffignac; not to mention the markets, villages and all the sports available. We can fill our day with memorable activities and come back home to enjoy a good glass of wine in the calm and tranquil surroundings.
