For a second year in a row, our extended stay at Domaine de Pémontier was "extraordinaire." The two gîtes are located on a gorgeous piece of property conveniently situated between Bergerac and Issigeac - perfect for exploring the wine country, the bastides, and the incredible local cuisine.
Last year we stayed in the smaller gîte, Le Pigeonnier, and absolutely loved it. It is incredibly charming, spacious, and accommodated 3 of us very comfortably. We would have stayed in it again this year, but it was already booked for part of our travel dates. So, instead, we stayed in the larger gîte, La Vieille Grange.
La Vieille Grange is a luxurious place to stay. It is beautiful, comfortable, and well-appointed. It's more like a home-away-from-home than a vacation rental, which makes it a perfect place for families.
For those that want a relaxing vacation, the poolside at Domaine de Pémontier offers the perfect setting. If history and architecture are of interest, this is the best base from which to do your touring. If you are interested in food and wine, you are in foodie heaven and the facilities at La Vieille Grange will even allow you to cook up some of the delicious offerings from the local outdoor markets. Whatever your reason for visiting this area of France, you will be assured of a fabulous stay here. Lesley and John are fabulous hosts. They are truly interested in ensuring the comfort of their guests. They are also very knowledgeable about this area of France and can recommend some lovely day trips and great restaurants. We highly recommend staying at Domaine de Pémontier to anyone planning a visit to this part of the world.
