Fiaba Fattoria francese vicino a Sarlat con piscina privata, frutteti e giardini.

BENVENUTO A GAURENNE: LA TUA CASA IN FRANCIA

Situato in un alto prato nel cuore della regione del Périgord Noir in Francia e vicino alla magnifica città medievale di Sarlat, Gaurenne è un affascinante casale risalente ai primi del 1700. La struttura si trova a 15-30 minuti dai siti più famosi della Dordogna, e tuttavia offre una tranquillità tranquilla che rende la vista una scelta ma non una necessità. In questa splendida cornice, con le sue vedute delle colline e dei borghi vicini, è possibile per un visitatore rimanere indisturbato, camminando attraverso i 22 acri di prati e boschi, seguendo sentieri attraverso la valle e i villaggi vicini. Accanto alla casa si trovano sia frutteti di frutta e noci, e la terrazza coperta in pietra cattura brezze estive e offre un luogo grazioso per cenare all'aperto e rilassarsi. C'è anche una piscina di acqua salata, che funziona nei mesi estivi.


INFORMAZIONI SULLA CASA
Nella sua impostazione bucolica, Gaurenne è una fattoria di trecento anni di particolare fascino. Disposto attorno a un cortile alla maniera tradizionale delle fattorie francesi, è un bell'esempio di architettura del Périgordine. Gli edifici sono costruiti con il calcare dorato che è tipico della regione e hanno tetti a spiovente fatti di lastre di pietra. Questi pregiati tetti “a lauze” si trovano in un raggio limitato di 20 miglia in questa parte della Dordogna e danno all'architettura locale la sua qualità da fiaba. Rose rampicanti, gelsomino e lavanda riempiono il cortile di fragranza e il giardino delle erbe vicino alla porta è pensato per il tuo uso. La casa è stata restaurata in modo da rispettare il suo carattere rustico originale, mentre le comodità moderne sono state aggiunte per il comfort.


L'interno ha molte pareti di pietra a vista e soffitti con travi a vista, con pavimenti in pietra locale color miele al piano inferiore e al piano superiore in castagno. L'arredamento comprende oggetti d'antiquariato e tessuti francesi. Il piano principale è composto da una cucina abitabile, un soggiorno / sala da pranzo, un ripostiglio e un bagno di servizio. La cucina è di dimensioni generose e comprende una lavastoviglie e le solite dotazioni. Dal tavolo, una bella finestra in pietra si affaccia sul prato. Il soggiorno è ampio e comprende una confortevole area salotto e un lungo tavolo da fattoria per mangiare. Al piano superiore, ci sono due camere da letto, una con un letto matrimoniale e l'altra con due letti singoli che possono essere uniti per formare un letto king-size. Entrambe le camere hanno grandi finestre a battente francesi, antichi armadi e comò generosi. C'è anche un bagno con vasca e doccia a pioggia, un portasciugamani riscaldato e un lavandino situato in un bancone. Il WC è separato. La casa è dotata di riscaldamento centralizzato, lavatrice e connessione internet wireless ad alta velocità.


SPAZIO ESTERNO
Gli ospiti che arrivano a Gaurenne entrano in un cancello che conduce in un cortile pieno di fiori e parzialmente ombreggiato da un platano. Sul lato opposto del cortile, una terrazza in pietra adiacente alla cucina ospita un lungo tavolo in teak e sedie per mangiare all'aperto. Un tetto di tegole protegge la terrazza, rendendola una piacevole area salotto nel calore della giornata. Sul lato nord della casa è un frutteto; il frutto è tuo per la presa se ti capita di essere lì quando è maturo. C'è anche un frutteto di noci. Sul lato sud della casa, la piscina è nascosta alla vista ma è aperta sul prato e sulle colline circostanti. Misura 17 ′ x 36 ′, è stato appena ricostruito e delimitato da pietre della Borgogna. Questo è un posto preferito per gli ospiti ed è un piacere gradito alla fine di una giornata di visite turistiche. Sedie a sdraio, teli mare e materassini sono forniti, così come kickboard e alcuni giochi d'acqua per i bambini. I 22 acri di Gaurenne sono i tuoi da esplorare e i sentieri che puoi raccogliere sulla proprietà possono essere seguiti per chilometri attraverso la campagna, a piedi o in bicicletta. I boschi sotto la casa sono un posto delizioso per passeggiare e sotto di loro c'è una valle completamente privata che rende un meraviglioso picnic. A cinque minuti di distanza si trova un villaggio dove troverete un ufficio postale e un negozio di alimentari / bar / caffetteria che serve meravigliosi pasti economici fatti in casa. Ci sono anche due meravigliosi ristoranti appena fuori dal villaggio. Altrettanto vicino è un lago con una spiaggia pubblica e campi da tennis. Quindici minuti di distanza, la città medievale di Sarlat ha tutto ciò di cui potresti aver bisogno, inclusi negozi, ristoranti, cinema, ospedale, festival estivi e, due volte a settimana, un grande mercato all'aperto.


LA REGIONE
Situata nella Francia sudoccidentale, la Dordogna è una regione di delicata bellezza, rinomata per la sua cucina raffinata, i villaggi medievali, i castelli orgogliosi e gli straordinari esempi di arte rupestre preistorica. Grazie alla combinazione unica di abbondanti pesci e selvaggina e di scogliere che si innalzano dalle valli fornendo abitazioni sicure in una miriade di grotte e grotte, migliaia di anni fa sono state trovate qui più tracce della presenza dell'uomo che in qualsiasi altra parte della Francia.


Gaurenne è situata nella parte della Dordogna conosciuta come il Périgord Noir, che offre un paesaggio lussureggiante, circondato da fiumi tortuosi e punteggiato da incantevoli villaggi. Fitte foreste si alternano a prati e campi ondulati. Sebbene ci siano città e siti che attirano visitatori nei mesi estivi, questa è una regione prevalentemente agricola, con una campagna tranquilla e incontaminata in cui il modo di vivere tradizionale è ancora molto evidente.


Tuttavia, non ti mancheranno le attività per riempire le tue giornate. Ci sono numerosi sentieri escursionistici, gite in canoa sui fiumi Dordogna o Vezere, equitazione, nuoto e tennis, tutti nelle vicinanze. Ci sono anche numerosi castelli da visitare (Beynac e Castelnaud da non perdere) così come siti unici come il rovinato Chateau de Commarque e le Cabanes de Breuil (un insolito gruppo di antiche abitazioni rotonde in pietra di origine sconosciuta). La ricchezza di siti preistorici della regione è a portata di mano. Le grotte di Lascaux, Font-de-Gaume, il Museo Nazionale di Preistoria di Les Eyzies-de-Tayac e l'Abri de Cap Blanc, con i suoi cavalli scolpiti, offrono un'esperienza memorabile. I mercati locali all'aperto offrono prodotti e prodotti regionali, quello di Sarlat è uno dei più colorati di Francia. Viene fornito un elenco di gite, ristoranti, giornate di mercato e festival estivi locali suggeriti per aiutare i visitatori a sfruttare appieno il loro soggiorno.

Magical place!

This was our second stay at Gaurenne and it was just as wonderful as the first. The property itself is beautiful with everything that you need. But it is the secluded location that makes the property truly special. There is plenty to do in the area, but we spent our time reading books and enjoying local gastronomy on the terrace while enjoying the view. We ate dinner to the sounds of owls and retired to stargazing. Thank you Judith for sharing your magical home with us.

Exceptional home in a peaceful setting

This property is wonderful in every respect. It is very old with loads of character, but it is also furnished impeccably, so that you will have everything that you need. The property is located in a very peaceful area, with no other houses in sight. This means that you will need to drive to do the shopping, but also means that you won’t hear anything except the sounds of nature. We saw dear, falcons, and bats on the grounds, and loved the stargazing. My favourite part of the day was sitting down on the shaded terrace with some local wine and a book; the children loved the swimming pool in the late afternoon. There is much to do in the local area (canoeing, castles, prehistoric caves, markets), and coming back each day to such a lovely property made our holiday really special. We hope very much to return.

Wow, wow, wow

Alas, I am starting this review with an apology, because this place more positive adjectives than my small mind can come up with. I am not a sycophant and struggle to get excited or inspired by very much - BUT, if you are looking for the most peaceful, tranquil, natural, original, clean, welcoming, home from home feel to your stay in the Dordogne, then this place oozes all of that and more. As soon as we came off the 'main' road and headed up the road through the woods, and through wild flower meadows we knew we were in for something quite special. But, neither my wife, me or my children quite realised how special our stay for the week was going to be. We have been to France on multiple times before, and we are quite pedantic over what we are looking for in a property. It has to be clean, it has to feel comfortable, well decorated, it has to have modern amenities whilst all balanced against the charm of a traditional French farmhouse. This place has that and spades more. We immediately felt relaxed, comfortable, dashed around the house mouths wide open utterly blown away by Gaurenne. The front room is so comfortable to relax in - great lighting, huge dining room table, lots of games for the days when you just cant be bothered to explore and would rather chill. And to be honest, this place was so comfortable, we probably did not explore the area as much as we could. The gardens, the flowers, the birds, the deer and wild boar (yes, they were in the meadow one night just as the sun was setting but no picture unfortunately), sincerely this place is simply stunning. Do not be put off by the pool not being heated, granted we had reservations particularly because the weather was not at its warmest whilst we were there, but the pool was up at 25c most days and whilst there is an initial chill when you get in, the temperature was perfect for us and our children. Its a really decent sized pool. I should write more about the area - Sarlat great city, very pretty, lots of history. Monkey Forest superb for a day out as is canoeing down the Dordogne. We saw loads, but our holiday was not made by the seeing new places, it was made by knowing when we were out, we had the most amazing home to go back to. Thank you Judith we will be back

Even more perfect than we imagined

Our elation upon arrival to gorgeous Gaurenne quickly ceded to feelings of despair at the thought that we would ever have to depart! One is so spoiled for choice in the Périgord Noir with things to see and do, and in the days preceding our stay at Gaurenne we hopped madly from one stunning site to another.  But the gravity of this exquisite place is such that, once we stepped foot on the property, we rarely left! Imagine dining on the covered terrace, the air redolent with the heady scent of honeysuckle and roses, listening to the cicadas’ symphonic serenade ... Imagine lazing beside the lovely grass-encircled, hedge-framed pool, looking up from one’s book to watch the birds flit along the pretty stacked-stone roofs and walls ... Imagine strolling through the meadows laced with umbels of cow parsley and fragrant wild mint, stopping to pluck a peach or apple from a generous tree before exploring the surrounding woods ... Gaurenne is a special place one wants to drink in lustily, to savour its every carefully considered, painterly detail. Judith is an absolutely wonderful host, providing guests with all of the information, amenities, and care one could possibly need. A stay here is worth every penny/pence/centime, and we dream of coming again!

Heart of the Dordogne

We've been to many parts of France before, and my wife used to live in Paris, but we'd never been to la France profonde, two hours drive east of Bordeaux. After a week there, with the duck and the wild-boar jambon, with the sweet little wines, the Bergeracs, rarely imported to the States, and ... wow, after getting to stay in this impeccable 300-year-old house, we are pretty much in love, and can't wait to go back. We just scratched the surface (not literally; heresy) of the 15,000-year-old carvings and paintings in the neighborhood, the hilltop villages a la Tuscany, the general pre-history atmosphere. And one reason we didn't get to all the attractions is that staying in this house beats all. Daily swims in the pool -- it was warm out in early July, though not stifling. Gaurenne and its surrounding vast meadows is the quietest place I have been. No highway white noise in the background. A bucket of mussels for dinner with friends who came to stay with us out beneath the pergola at 10 o'clock with still evening light to spare. Judith is a wonderful hostess. The house could not be more comfortable. Great hiking right out the door. Biggest commotion was a grandmother and grandchild trotting by on a miniature-horse-drawn cart. Writing a note about it, I am only sorry I am not there right now.

Stunningly picturesque & peaceful

Our family of four, including two twenty-something children, had a lovely time at this unique property. The remote countryside location and the beautifully landscaped grounds create a truly magical setting . Many of our pleasantest memories are of relaxing by the pool listening to the birds in the late afternoon, or enjoying a family dinner on the outdoor terrace as the sun set. The guest house is comfortable and charming, with tasteful decor that suits the setting, and a pleasant kitchen in which we cooked several meals. This is of course a great region for food and there are numerous farm markets in the various nearby towns and villages. The owner was a wonderful host from afar, offering friendly tips and advice on our stay. When we unexpectedly needed a FedEx package sent and asked if finding the house was difficult for delivery services, she promptly emailed directions to the house in French! The region includes some notable attractions, such as Lascaux and other prehistoric cave art sites, which we enjoyed, as well as numerous chateaux and other picturesque historic buildings. It is also just lovely countryside for driving around and eating out. A friend who has stayed at Gaurenne recommended it to us and we have already recommended it to others. I just hope it's free next time we want to come back!

Gorgeous French Farmhouse

It’s hard to believe that a week has passed since we returned to the States. I’ve been swamped since getting back to work but each day aware that I want to tell you what an exceptional and wonderful time Cindy and I had at Guarenne. As I think I may have said, I’d wanted for many years to spend time in the Dordogne and imagined a beautiful country setting as a place to stay. Unlike the usual problem set up by other idealized and long imagined events, this one was everything we’d hoped it would be and more! The house, the property and the widely surrounding countryside was perfect and each day provided something new and special to explore. From traditional village markets to historic chateaux to unforgettable drives along the Dordogne, we’re still treasuring every day of our visit. I hope we’ll have the opportunity to return in the future. Getting to know you was an added bonus for us. We felt very welcomed and that immediately out of nowhere, we suddenly had a friend in the French countryside. The renovations on the property were beautiful updates that preserved the charm and classic beauty of the house and property. And your tips on nearby sites and activities invariably hit the mark and enhanced our stay.

Perfect, idyllic setting

Once again, we're grateful to stay in this beautiful house in this perfect, idyllic setting. When we stayed here for a week seven years ago, we promised ourselves that we would come back and spend more time. This two week visit has allowed us to really slow down and absorb the rhythms of Gaurenne. We're so glad we did. It’s difficult to describe the tranquility of staying in this 18th century farmhouse. It’s surrounded by fields that are surround by woods in the peaceful Périgord country. There is a feeling of openness and privacy at the same time. The landscaping, orchards, the courtyard, and gardens are stunning without being overdone. It all feels in balance with the land and the house. The historic stonework of the house is gorgeous and the interior renovations are incredibly tasteful. You have all of the modern conveniences while taking a break from the busyness of contemporary life. Judith provides a guidebook that is extraordinarily helpful. It compiles her knowledge, along with the tips from previous guests, for everything you need including nearby farmers markets (and their daily schedules), bakeries, grocery stores, restaurants, loads of practical information as well as recommend sites including the prehistoric caves with Cro-Magnon art. We had excellent dinners in the neighboring village of Marquay, nearby Tamnies, and la Ferme du Brusquand. Gaurenne made for an ideal vacation. We hope that we don’t wait another seven years to return.

A Wonderful Return Visit

We spent a week at Gaurenne 16 years ago when our daughter was a teenager. It was a wonderful week and we always intended to return. We finally did and it was even more enjoyable. The house is the countryside.. you won't see a neighbor, but it is twenty minutes to Sarlat which has all services you will need. It is in the middle of many locations in the Dordogne you will want to visit on day trips. The house is a stone farmhouse with lovely outdoor spaces. The bathrooms were redone since our visit and many other improvements were made. All updates were made tastefully and in keeping with the atmosphere of the house. The house is very well equipped and renting it from Judith was a breeze. She is very responsive to all questions and concerns. Many rentals in France come completely bare bones without any supplies. This house had many items on hand that you would need during your stay , but it might not be as completely equipped as a luxury rental in other parts of the world. Just check with Judith as to what you might need to pick up on your way in to avoid multiple trips to the store. We had a great stay this time and I hope it doesn't take another 16 years to get back

Ideal location and property

This is an ideal spot from which to visit the many attractions of the Dordogne – or just relax and enjoy the area around the property and the on-site swimming pool, terrace, walking trails and lovely views. The house and property are beautiful inside and out. Amazing esthetics and comfort. The owner has thought of everything. This was our first sightseeing in the Dordogne, and we were delighted to find so many different places to visit and the way in which they welcome tourists. The people we met were very friendly and helpful. One of us lives in rural southern New Hampshire, the other in New York, and it suited us both! One of the best vacations ever.

La Gaurenne - A Dordogne farmhouse

My wife and I and my wife’s sister spent a week at La Gaurenne in September 2016. The farmhouse, quietly situated in a hill-top meadow, is simply beautiful inside and out – comfortably furnished inside, and outside a lovely private garden, orchards and its own swimming pool. The ambience is fully in keeping with the Dordogne, and the location, despite its apparent isolation, provides ready access to local markets, villages, farms and hiking trails. Moreover La Gaurenne is ideally located for those wishing to explore the extraordinary pre-historic cave art found throughout the region – indeed several of the most famous caves are almost on the doorstep! La Gaurenne offers amazing peace and quiet in the heart of the Perigord Noir, otherwise a very busy and popular tourist area, renowned as one of the most scenically beautiful France has to offer.

Perfect vacation spot in the Dordogne

Gaurenne is a beautiful, comfortable stone cottage in a lovely meadow setting. There is history in its old stones, yet it has all the modern conveniences one requires. We spent two weeks there in late August and early September using Gaurenne as our home base for exploring the Dordogne. Farmers markets, caves, prehistoric sites and lovely villages are all close by as are excellent restaurants. After a day of touring, the swimming pool was a welcome respite. At the farmers markets we found bread, vegetables, fruit, wine, cheese and take-away chicken, ham and potatoes. We also dined in restaurants in nearby Marquay, Tamnies and Les Ezyies. Driving up the hill to Gaurenne and turning left out of the woods into the sunlit meadow with the house ahead on the right will always be a sweet memory.

A stunning, private sanctuary in the hills of Sarlat

When the Bruno Chief of Police mystery series by Martin Walker (set in nearby Le Bugue) brought us to this area of France, I determined to find a family friendly lodging with a pool. Narrowing the search to Gaurenne was a very lengthy process since there are innumerable gites in the Dordogne. But a decision was made based on the proximity of this sanctuary to Sarlat, Les Elyses, Lascaux II, Rocamadour, Roque de Christophe etc. We wanted a spot with a pool, and the stunning rock buildings of Gaurenne depicted on the VBRO site were unsurpassed by other advertised gites. This lodging is so serene, with local cows being the nearest neighbours. But Gaurenne is located smack in the middle of the most desirable sites in the region. On the property is stunning and we couldn't have been more pleased with our decision.

Dreamy, perfect, serene, the only painful part is leaving

My husband and I stayed at Judith's incredible, impeccable, peaceful and lovely farmhouse last summer, and we are coming back this summer, and hope to return again and again. The place, its location, and the care that has been put into restoring this amazing and very old and grand farmhouse makes the experience of staying there both restorative and a real revelation. The house is on its own high rural plot of farmland with charming little country lanes extending along a ridge where you can walk and see the most amazing views. The countryside here is very soft, rolling, idyllic. The house and its fairly vast grounds are perfectly maintained by someone with very deep knowledge of the area and of the farming and ecology and culinary traditions of this part of Dordogne. Guarenne is an exquisite place. Being there inspires a desire to be careful, to tread lightly, and to return, to return, to return! We walked all over. Slept peacefully with the screened windows wide open. Swam in the beautiful and extremely private pool. Ate on the covered terrace, after walking to the little grocery store in the town up the hill. Guarenne is something very special. I actually was reluctant to leave a review, after staying last summer, because I feared we would never get another reservation. Indeed, we had to reserve early for this next summer. This house is really the jackpot in Dordogne, and I can't believe our luck in having discovered it. You will love it and not be sorry. It's even more incredible than the pictures suggest. I can't wait to go back.

Fred - Gaurenne J'adore !

Judith put her heart into this 300 year-old house. Each detail is chosen with simple elegance and the desire to create an easy, relaxed and warm environment. The colors of the house reflect the quality of the materials, floor to ceiling, each detail selected to create a sense of well-being. It’s just a few steps to the pool, surrounded by fields and beyond the trees of Gaurenne’s woods. With a little luck, the cows will also be around... If the desire takes hold to pass from the fields to the greens, the Sarlat golf course is a few minutes away, traveling along beautiful country roads. To fall asleep in Gaurenne is the height of peace. Linen sheets, comfortable beds, the light of stars and the nighttime silence, make you want to bury yourself under the quilt for a long time. To awake is even more magical, morning toast from fresh country bread as the starting point for unforgettable days. And to leave is to want to return.

Spectacular farmhouse in Perigord Noir region

We have been to the Paris area many times but not to Southwest France. We read about Judith’s place in The New York Review of Books and decided it was exactly what we were looking for. And are we glad we did. Serenity, seclusion, breathtaking beauty, history, great food and last but not least, Judith’s spectacular Gaurenne. Gaurenne is more beautiful than even the photos indicate and at a very reasonable price. No expense has been spared to make a visitor feel at home-from the sumptuous and fully equipped guesthouse to the pool, gazebo, orchards and manicured grounds. Throw away the guidebooks—they are not needed here as Judith’s extensive knowledge and recommendations as to the Perigord Noir as to markets, sights, dining and history are all provided. Book at least a week at Gaurenne; you will be glad you did. We will be going back.

Fabulous Holiday!

We were 2 couples in this perfect farmhouse on a hilltop, in the middle of a gorgeous landscape. The property is very close to the famous market of Sarlat, where we loved to wander in the small streets of this medieval town. We were there in June when everything was in flower and warm days allowed us to swim in the beautiful pool. In short, we had a fabulous, relaxing holiday. One of the best we’ve ever had!

WOW - What a GREAT house & vacation!

We (family of 4) stayed for 1 week in August 2013. The owner was very helpful and very easy to deal with. The house and pool are even more beautiful and amazing then the pictures show. Very peaceful property yet within easy access to local villages - that have fantastic outdoor markets and restaurants! The property was very clean and well presented upon our arrival. This was our first time to the Dordogne region and it will not be our last...we can't wait to return! Lots of activities (prehistoric caves, local markets, kayaking Dordogne River, hikes, exploring local villages) within easy access of this property. We have rented many VRBO properties and this was one of the easiest transactions....and most memorable house/vacation.
