À propos de cet hébergement

Aimer la vie dans les murs de l'un des 100 plus beaux villages de France!

UN ENDROIT MERVEILLEUX ET UNE BASE POUR EXPLORER LE SUD DE LA FRANCE.

Notre belle bastide maison de ville, construite en 1353 a récemment été restaurée avec amour tout en préservant ses caractéristiques d'origine et résultant en une maison très confortable et élégante avec tout le charme de la vie médiévale en France.
Vivant dans l'un des 100 plus beaux villages de France, vous avez la possibilité de profiter des nombreuses fêtes, festivals et marchés qui ont lieu sur la place Monpazier - à seulement 50 mètres de notre porte d'entrée et de la grande variété de restaurants, galeries et autres attractions du village.
L'expérience d'avoir l'opportunité de rester à l'intérieur des murs de Monpazier a dépassé toutes nos attentes et nous le savons aussi pour vous!
Bien que construite en 1353 et ayant été une épicerie (épicerie et mercerie), la maison a une grande disposition et est parfaite pour jusqu'à 4 couples ou familles combinées.
Le couloir d'entrée vous mène au salon, à la salle à manger et à la cuisine décloisonnés, ainsi qu'à une salle de bains au rez-de-chaussée et à un escalier facile d'accès au premier étage.
Le salon et la salle à manger décloisonnés ont une grande cheminée qui est parfaite pour les soirées d'hiver, et est adjacent à une cuisine moderne et bien aménagée avec arrière-cuisine, buanderie et espaces de stockage (toutes les pièces séparées) et est lié à une charmante cour extérieure en pierre .
Le salon dispose d'une luxueuse suite en cuir clouté qui peut accueillir confortablement 8 adultes et dispose d'une télévision de 55 'avec des programmes de télévision anglais et français, une chaîne stéréo et une connexion Wi-Fi.
La grande table à manger carrée peut accueillir jusqu'à 12 personnes sur des chaises en cuir à dossier haut. Il est parfait pour recevoir ou profiter de délicieux repas en famille!
Le premier étage comprend 4 chambres habillées avec des draps et une décoration de haute qualité, et chacune avec salle de bain attenante avec douche, vanité et toilettes. Le salon d'atterrissage a des sièges et des chaises longues pour se détendre - un bel espace pour ces après-midi d'été chauds!
Monpazier a été fondée en 1284 et construite par les Anglais sous le règne d'Edouard 1. Il s’appelait la «Perle des bastides anglaises du XIIIe siècle». Bien qu'il se soit passé beaucoup de choses au cours de l'histoire du temps…. qui n’a pas changé car elle est encore qualifiée de «bastide la mieux conservée de France». Il peut sembler petit, mais en tant que belle bastide et village de travail bien conservé, il possède une grande variété de boutiques, de restaurants, d'artisans et d'attractions.
La cuisine est un grand centre d'intérêt de la région et en tant que tel, vous avez plus de 10 restaurants dans le village, allant des pizzerias décontractées, une crêperie et des bistrots, en passant par une cuisine raffinée et élégante. Les provisions de base sont bien entretenues par les 2 mini-marchés (SPAR & Casino) à l'intérieur des murs du village et puis il y a une grande gamme de produits de spécialité qui peuvent être trouvés dans les 3 pâtisseries / boulangeries et 2 charcuteries qui ont une excellente gamme de viandes et charcuteries. Il y a aussi une cave à vin, une boutique de produits bio, une pharmacie, un salon de beauté et une masseuse ..... et la liste est longue. Vous serez très bien pris en charge et tous à distance de marche!
Monpazier possède également une solide communauté d'artisans avec une gamme de magnifiques galeries et salles d'exposition, y compris - tourneurs sur bois / artisans en pierre, souffleur de verre où vous pouvez regarder votre création en cours, horloger, maroquinerie artisanale, savon et parfumerie traditionnels, salles d'exposition en céramique et autruche graveur d'oeufs, un excellent affichage en marqueterie et bien plus encore.
Monpazier a un marché hebdomadaire coloré le jeudi matin. De nombreux villages voisins ont des marchés hebdomadaires à différents jours de la semaine, ce qui en fait un excellent moyen de visiter les environs et de savourer la région. Les marchés sont largement basés sur les glorieuses cuisines locales et les produits de spécialité de la région - fruits de saison, champignons (cèpes), noix, miel, canard, oie, foie gras et les plus luxueux de tous… .. truffes!
Les festivals de musique d'été à Monpazier et dans la plupart des villages voisins sont un délice. Il y a aussi les nombreuses fêtes et festivals organisés tout au long de l'année sur notre propre place de village:
Été:
  - Marchés de nuit réguliers
  - Marché d'été de Brocante

Mai:
  - Festival annuel des fleurs et roses

Juillet:
  - Affichage de la bodega et des feux d'artifice du 14 juillet

L'automne:
  - Promenades guidées (randonees) dans les forêts voisines
  - Marché Brocante d'automne

Octobre:
  - Marchés Cepes

Décembre:
  - Fête de la truffe
  - Marché de Noël

Janvier:
  - Fête de la truffe
Situé au sud de la Dordogne (une des régions les plus belles et les plus appréciées de France), c'est une région connue sous le nom de "Le Pays des 1001 Châteaux". A proximité, vous pourrez visiter Château Biron (8kms), Lanquais (28kms), Milandes (36kms), Castelnaud (38kms) et Beynac (43kms)… pour n'en citer que quelques-uns. Vous pouvez également visiter les peintures rupestres préhistoriques et les grottes calcaires du Gouffre de Proumeyssac (32kms), de la Grotte du Grand Roc (40kms), de la Grotte de Cougnac (57kms) et de la Grotte de Lascaux (70kms).
Nous avons beaucoup d'informations sur les attractions de la région à Bastide 1353, mais le bureau d'information touristique local est extrêmement utile et encore une fois - à seulement 50 mètres de notre porte d'entrée.

A medieval home just off the Square in Monpazier

This refurbished property is very well presented with lots of stone and timber adding to the sense that this is a very old building. There is ample space for sitting in the evening, and dining for 8 easily accommodated, a convenient and modern kitchen with a scullery and laundry room. The bedrooms are a good size, the floors slope a little in places adding to that sense of time passing. En-suite facilities are modern and work well. The situation is excellent just off the square and yet quiet, there were no issues with parking on the street. We hope that this property is available next time we want to go.

Authentic France; beautiful, romantic and funny.

Our stay was end of season early November when the village goes into a period of pre-Christmas hibernation and autumn is alive and well in all its vibrancy. We arrived the day of the Rugby World Cup final and immediately made our presence known to the locals by joining them in the local Tabac to watch the match. We don't speak French but the evening passed with a great deal of banter and good humour exchanged. The locals were just great and very welcoming. Our stay at Bastide 1353 could not have been more comfortable or enjoyable. Each of the four large double bedrooms upstairs has its own very spacious ensuite which was a big change from some of the hotels we stayed at. We rattled around just being the two of us but it was very peaceful. Down stairs was a comfortably large lounge, Sky TV,dining area and good sized kitchen and butlers pantry. Easy to operate laundry was a real bonus. The property is hundreds of years old but has been restored and maintained to a very high standard. Its was interesting just sitting back and wondering about all the people who had lived there in the past. Surrounded by many other castle towns and vineyards within easy driving distance Monpazier is not just a great base from which to plan your day trips it is in itself a beautiful village made even more enchanting by staying in such a lovely home. I could say much more but why spoil the great surprises you are in for.

Really enjoyed this house. Could do with a few more fans due to excessive heat. Location is ideal!

Very easy to find, open, and comfortable to stay in. We did lots of cooking and enjoyed our strolls through Monpazier daily. Kids could run out and visit local shops and bakeries to pick up food. Very nice.

Wonderful House. Wonderful Location.

This house is just gorgeous, with its elegant furniture and luxurious en-suite bedrooms: it feels like a 5 star hotel. The owners, John and Tracy, have thought of every detail to create a very special place, and it was a delight to stay somewhere so lovingly restored. There are so many beautiful items in the house, amazing glasses and crockery and as for the kitchen…fully equipped is an understatement! It’s a dream. The house is in an ideal location: just a 1 minute walk from the main square, with bars, cafés and Monpazier’s interesting independent shops. During our 6 days in Monpazier we visited several of the villages in the Dordogne, and each day it was a joy to return to the house and sit in the stunning courtyard (the photos don’t do it justice). Indeed we whiled away many hours there, eating al fresco throughout our stay. The only problem we have is that, from now on we are destined to compare any rental property to this one, and the bar has been set so high, we are, alas, bound to be disappointed. I can not recommend this house highly enough.

Awesome stay in beautiful house in Monpazier

What a lovely house in a perfect location! We had a wonderful week in Bastide 1353 Monpazier. We are 6 Aussies: 2 young children 3 and 5 years, their parents and grandparents. All of us loved the house and the ambience of the village . It was such a treat to be able to walk to lunch or dinner in many of the great local restaurants. We loved the breakfast croissants and baguettes from the Boulangerie down the street and the fantastic food from the Boucherie. The kids loved the quiches! Thank you Tracy and John and Sandra for making our stay so memorable. Nola and Ross, Victoria Australia

The perfect way to experience France

Bastide 1353 is a great house in an amazing location. Monpazier and the surrounding area is a melting pot of French life, markets, history, great restaurants and squares too while away the day or people watch. The house is just a pleasure to come back too, loads of old characterful features and it has all the facilities you want, lovely furniture and beautiful pieces throughout the house to enjoy. There is a courtyard where we enjoyed breakfast, dinner and a few drinks with our friends. The top of my list were the beds, just so comfortable, best sleep for a long time. Bastide 1353 is only 50 metres away from the town square with its restaurants and bars which are full of life yet when back at the house it is nice and quiet. Absolutely recommend Bastide 1353! Peter

Superb holiday home

Well it's all been said before but it was just perfect. Very charming property set in the middle of a wonderful old village. The owners were most generous with communicating all the great activities in the area and generally just keeping in touch to make sure we had everything we needed. We made great use of the courtyard where we had all our breakfasts and some lunches. The kitchen was beautifully equipped and a godsend for anyone inclined to cook up a storm. However we dined out in the evenings at some quirky restaurants and rather overdosed on duck which seems to be a staple. Also their chickens are quite different to those in Australia - really dense and delicious. Yes, we ate and drank well at this beautiful home and would return in a whisper. Wish it was closer.

PERFECT place for a mid-winter holiday in France

We knew from the reviews that our stay at Bastide 1353 was going to be special, but it exceeded our expectations in every way possible. Where to begin?! The house itself is an absolute gem – it has all the character and quirks you’d expect of a 700 year old house, seamlessly and unobtrusively blended with every twenty-first century convenience you could possibly want. The furniture and furnishings are enchanting and luxurious; the kitchen is a chef’s dream; the 4 bathrooms are immaculate, with excellent water pressure in the showers (one of my absolute non-negotiables!). I felt truly pampered with all the thoughtful touches and attention to detail in every corner of the house. Monpazier itself. Well, it’s easy to see how it earned its placing as one the 100 most beautiful French villages. It’s a total charmer! I loved being able to nip across the street before breakfast each day for fresh bread, and then down to a different boulangerie for pastries later in the day. We enjoyed wandering round the narrow streets noticing different little architectural gems and details on each of our wanders. I also enjoyed popping in and out of the various little shops around the market square while Mike ‘market tested’ yet another red wine at the outdoor tables in the square. The shop and restaurant owners were all very accommodating of our beginner French and our non-French ways! We also found lots to do nearby Monpazier. Things we recommend: have a lovely, very reasonably priced meal at L’Abbey Restaurant in Cadouin (and visit the abbey); go to Domme to see Charles Durret who makes the most stunning jewellery; have a vin chaud at the Christmas market in Sarlat; an evening meal at Leo’s Table in St Avit Sanur is a must; and La Roque Gageac is another must-see village. We sometimes had a relaxed morning in Monpazier, then a trip to explore castles and curiosities in nearby villages, and then back to Monpazier for a restaurant meal or supper at Bastide1353. Being able to have the wood-burning fireplace going was a nice treat when we stayed in, although the house was toasty warm without it. We LOVED our stay at Bastide 1353 (over the Christmas - New Year period). It’s such a special place – beautiful, spacious, comfortable, AND location, location, location! We can’t wait to return.

Luxury Character Home in a Stunning Location!

This is our third visit to Bastide 1353 in the last three years. We love it!!! The house is so welcoming - comfortable luxury, modern amenities yet full of old world character. Four ensuite bedrooms, plush living areas, well equipped kitchen, even an outdoor courtyard for eating outdoors in the summer. It is perfect for 'us oldies' (78 & 82 years young), only 60 steps from the square, where there is shopping to die for (3 Patisseries, 2 Butcheries, 2 Super Markets, Boutiques, Hat Maker, Clock Maker, 2 Glass Blowers, Chemist, Toy Maker, Craft Shops, Brocantes and Galleries), lots of Restaurants and of course - the traditional French Tabac. We love sitting outside at 'Gallerie M' in the square, with our coffee or wine and watching the world go by, just a minutes walk from 'Bastide 1353'. Monpazier is a very beautiful Bastide Village - rightfully designated 'one of the most beautiful in France' and just a short drive to lots of other interesting villages. The weekly market in Monpazier is great and all the surrounding villages have weekly markets, all set on different days, too. Makes for great adventures to pick up your local produce on a daily basis..... The best of French living. Thank you Tracy & John for allowing us to share your beautiful home. It's very special and we highly recommend it for young and old!

Perfect house in the perfect village

Bastide 1353 was the pick of our European holiday accommodation, providing everything needed for a fantastic holiday away from home. There was a choice of 4 beautiful and comfortable bedrooms, each with their own ensuite. The kitchen was a cooks dream with nothing missing. Given the great summer weather, the outdoor terrace was used every day, and the only missing item to crank the star rating to a 6 was a BBQ for us Aussies. Like the house, Monpazier is a beautiful medieval village with all modern facilities, including boulangeries, charcuteries, supermarkets, restaurants, hotels and shops. We could have happily stayed within the village for the whole week, but Monpazier was a great central base for exploring the many other villages and places of interest in a day trip. Parking out the front of the house was greatly appreciated. I would definitely recommend Bastide 1353 and Monpazier for anyone's French soujourn.

Beautiful, well appointed, perfectly located....

The Bastide is a gem in the crown jewels of the French countryside of the Dordogne. We spent a week enjoying the life of the town, and horseback riding with an old friend, Michel Amat, who is an outfitter for multi-day rides. It was Michel who introduced us to Monpazier on our first point to point ride in France many years ago. I had always hoped to return to Monpazier, the most uniquely beautiful of the French towns we have seen in our travels. This website made it possible to locate John and Tracy's beautiful home, and open a conversation about a visit. For us there were many logistical challenges, because riding was key. But we were able to get that worked out, and we had a fantastic time. We were able to get pretty much everything we needed in the town, esp with Market Day on Thursday. We rode out for a couple of days, and enjoyed the pleasures of Monpazier, including wonderful outdoor meals.The fantastic kitchen and beautiful secluded garden made meal time a wonderful event. The availability of fantastic food and produce in walking distance within the town, including bread baked almost every other hour, was part of the simple pleasures that made this so relaxing. WifI was generally good, with a few hiccups. And the hosts, arranged an interesting set of English speaking TV options through a service called "Manhattan" which I has never seen before. So some English speaking TV, esp news, was very useful, and sometimes enjoyable (a movie channel that was decent). I don't know if Netflix is available in France, but adding that would be a great addition if possible, since your account goes with you....we were able to watch shows in Argentina on our account....nice to be able to have a movie nite in bad weather. Since it was only me and my husband, we were able to have separate bathrooms, and we each used the other room as a dressing room, which was helpful to keep ourselves organized, esp for riding. So even if you are a couple, this house is very nice, if you value a bit more extra space to spread out over a week. The house managers were esp helpful in helping us get a cab from the train station to the town, since we were arriving on a Sunday evening. We used the same service on return. Overall, a wondefrful week in a magical place....

Luxury & Homely Accommodation with Class

This maison de ville was our holiday home base for 3 weeks during August and September. This very well appointed 2 storied home with modern appliances, top end luxury furniture & chattels along with high quality bed linen has been tastefully done to blend in and enhance the romantic experience of living in a 650 year old building made just out of stone and timber beams. After the first day of venturing out into the beautiful historic walled country village and exploring the market square ringed by large medieval stone archways with people enjoying a coffee and croissant sitting under large sun umbrellas and going down many cobble stoned alleyways, browsing in local specialty shops, meeting the local French residents, we returned home to our flash accommodation with our booty. Locally produced and cooked duck, fresh breads, cheeses, fruit and of course the wine!. We settled into the candle lit courtyard. We ate and drank and talked until the early hours in 26 degrees under a clear starry night sky. We felt as though we had won first prize in a lottery. Every day we walked or drove the car out into the surrounding countryside, visiting small towns with market places selling local produce, antiques and crafts. There were castles, vineyards, historic sites and many small narrow country lanes where you would see wild deer standing on the edge of a clearing next to a forest nibbling on green shoots. Farmers fields full of sunflowers, maize, fruit trees and walnut groves. At the end of the day we would return back to base to the courtyard to eat and drink and talk about what we had seen and experienced. There are many restaurants with terrific menus offering the local specialties of the region. The countryside around Monpazier and the Dordogne region is very pretty and magical and no wonder the French Government has given Monpazier the highest heritage rating thus preserving this idyllic Bastide for all to enjoy for generations to come. We cannot praise this accommodation and surrounding countryside high enough. We love the food, the wine, and the local people and a place that can deliver a "sense of occasion". The best holiday we have ever had and we will be back. Ken & Heather Kernohan, Upper Moutere, New Zealand.

CLASSY IN EVERY RESPECT

This place ticked all our boxes in so many ways. Clearly the owners attention to detail has ensured a wonderful blend of old and new all woven into a rich tapestry of comfort. Things like different coat hangers in each room, furniture that is both comfortable yet period, modern showers that fire water from multiple jets and all this against a spotlessly clean presentation. On entry one gets a feeling of luxury and comfort and that continued for our week long stay. Car parking outside the front door makes luggage transfers easy and the location just metres from the village square ensures one is spoilt for choice of the many restaurants that abound this area - not to mention the shops. That said the kitchen rivals a professional unit and the large dining table is a focus for fine dining and wholesome conversation. We found that because the residence is so close to the village square one tends to spend more time meandering through its streets at all different times, exploring the walls, the old buildings, the church and yes, yet again, the shops. The bakery over the road ensures fresh bread is the daily ritual for breakfast. Whilst in Monpazier take the time to explore the village and its environs. They even have a rugby field close by and when we were there a huge equestrian event was taking place with entrants from all over Europe and the Middle East. We used Monpazier as a base to explore villages and sites nearby. They are all within 30 - 45 minute drives. You will find many recommendations in the well presented compendium attached to the residence. We did, and loved every one of them. Special mention of La Roque Gageac and do take the one hour river trip. If I could give this place more than 5 stars I would and most definitely would return.

Exceeded all Expectations!!

We stayed for 3 weeks in this wonderful house with another couple, from New Zealand. As with most people, we do substantial research, before booking a property/holiday location. So, after seeing the photos online, of the house and reading about the village of Monpazier, we had great expectations of what was to come. After collecting our hire car from Bordeaux airport and driving, we began the approx 2 hour drive to Monpazier. The roads got smaller and smaller and the scenery prettier and prettier - at one point right through vineyards, with glimpses of the mandatory magnificent chateaux perched high in the hill sides. And so it was, that we arrived in Monpazier, at our new home for the next 3 weeks. First impressions were of the beautiful street, where the house was located - the mairie just opposite and most of all, proximity to the village square (approx 30m). So far, this was awesome! Then we went into the house... and spent the next 15 mins walking around and around, absolutely smitten! Yes the photos looked good, but this was even better than we could have imagined - it was perfect! Beautifully and tastefully decorated, with a fully equipped kitchen (and butlers pantry), a fantastic courtyard and bedrooms (4) with gorgeous linen (each with its own bathroom). We were a group of two couples, but we also had 2 lots of visitors coming to stay from England and Germany - they were going to be impressed! The village is picture postcard - with every facility and wonderful, friendly people. We only ventured out of the village probably only every 2nd or in some cases every 3rd day. Our brief was to experience an authentic village experience, without the usual tourist rushing around. Having said that, they was an enormous amount to see and do within the area - we never drove for more than an hour and a half away from our base and still there were places that we never managed to visit. I would recommend this house and the village of Monpazier, without hesitation - I don't think it gets any better than this!

Location, location, location!

This wonderful residence is luxurious and spacious and so well located in terms of the village of Monpazier itself (just a few paces from the villages beautiful square) and the surrounding towns, all so very beautiful and historic. The house itself easily accommodates up to 8 people as there are four beautifully appointed rooms, and comes complete with every luxury you could possibly want or need, including a stunning outdoor entertaining area. This would be a perfect holiday home for a group of friends, family or extended family....highly recommend.

An Absolute Treasure of a Property

This property is a stunner, a very high quality of presentation with a beautiful interior and many period features/ antiques. A modern kitchen with all modern appliances leads to a private courtyard , just perfect for breakfast or a pre dinner drink. The double bedrooms all have en suites and excellent quality mattresses and linens. This was a very comfortable place to stay. The village itself is a real beauty and the village square is a very short walk away from the property. The village has a great range of shops and restaurants. We thoroughly enjoyed our restaurant meals, especially at night when the lights came on in the square, it's a magical place. We were also fortunate to be staying in the village when the market day was held.We attended many markets during our visit to France and this was certainly one of the best. Monpazier is very central for visiting other villages , many being an easy car drive away. We highly recommend this property to other travellers , it really is a beauty. G & J Bird

Fabulous stay in Monpazier.

Just had a fabulous stay at Monpazier. This stunning, newly renovated home had everything we required-top end furniture, bedding, appliances and a great outdoor area to entertain/relax in. Only 50metres from the town square we had many restaurants and bars to choose from, and lovely artisan shops to browse. Best still enjoyed getting the freshly made crossiants from the patisserie right across the road. There is a weekly market in the square. Also many historic sites and villages are within s short distance of Monpazier which made this place a great hub to see the wider Dordogne area. We cannot speak more highly of this property and thoroughly recommend it to all travellers.

À propos de l’hôte

Hôte : John (& Tracy) Levenbach

Image de profil de l’hôte
We are New Zealanders (Kiwis) who love to travel and have a special love for the country people and lifestyle of France.

Voici pourquoi l’hôte a choisi cet hébergement

After a year and hundreds of hours searching, onsite and on the internet, for not only the best property to suit our needs but the best region and town in France to live, we settled on this property in Monpazier and have not been disappointed.

Voici ce qui rend cet hébergement unique

Part of our criteria in choosing location and property was to be in a small, well serviced village with a range of amenities and yet still a strong historical sense and beauty. We wanted to be able to be close to many attractions for day trips..... so we could do as much or as little as we wanted when on vacation, and also be able to walk out our front door and have a selection of cafes/restaurants (at all times of the year) and activities that were in walking distance, so not having to rely on having transport.
Monpazier has delivered on all of that. The village and warm welcome of its residents is simply stunning!
