From the moment you enter the iron gates of this 300 year old "lady" you will be charmed by her beauty and spoiled by your hosts, Francoise and Denis.
When our GPS had us turn down a dirt road just before arriving, we grew weary of what we might find for our party of 13 ranging in age from 9 to 75 years. Not to worry!
A one week stay, just wasn't enough. There is much to do here and if you please, you can easily spend day or two do nothing.
The home was lovely and spacious, offering plenty of room for the 13 of us to co-habitat very peacefully, never feeling crowded. While there was not air conditioning, the thick stone walls kept us cool even when the temperatures soared in July.
The children and adults enjoyed the large pool with many lounge chairs. The outdoor covered table made a great place to play cards or take an afternoon snack. The kitchen and dining room were both big enough to seat the 13 of us together to enjoy our meals.
The yard is a great place for the kids to run, roam and play volley ball. Plenty of room for the adults to play petanque as well.
Francoise and Denis, the owners, were very helpful in making suggestions as to where to dine, visit or local activities. Jean Marie, the house manager, will delivery fresh pastries to the house each morning for a small fee and is close by to help if you should need anything.
We enjoyed two nights of delicious meals prepared by a local cook for a very reasonable price. Arranged through Francoise.
So much to do all within driving distance of under 1 hour. Wine tasting, canoeing on the Dordogne, daily markets, horseback riding, etc.
We will certainly return and would highly recommend this home to anyone looking for an unforgettable family vacation!
