Escape to this villa in the Dordogne where the Jacuzzi, Finnish-style sauna and private swimming pool surrounded by flowers will leave you feeling relaxed and revitalised. Inside, you’ll feel you’ve stepped into the pages of a magazine, with a sense of relaxed elegance characterising this 3-bedroom country charmer. Located in the commune of Vézac, you’ll find no shortage of idyllic sights to see nearby: the gardens of Château de Marqueyssac are just a short drive away whilst La Roque-Gageac and Domme, two of France’s ‘Plus Beaux Villages’, can be reached in around 15 minutes drive. We also recommend visiting nearby Sarlat, a medieval town with gardens and an excellent market where you’ll sample the region’s specialties of foie gras, confit d'oie, and mushrooms. Sporting types will find all manner of activities to suit them; drive to Vitrac to rent bicycles, ride horses or picnic beside the riverside beach. Long days spent touring and sporting in the French countryside demand a holiday villa where you can seamlessly refresh and recharge - Les Cypres.

The Dordogne region of France is one of the country’s most beautiful and enchanting destinations.

Renowned for its culinary excellence, the area boasts Perigordian specialities such as foie gras, confit d'oie, rich duck dishes and a profusion of wild mushrooms.Beynac-et-Cazenac (6km), officially listed among the Les Plus Beaux Villages de France, is a historic gem perched above the Dordogne River. Its magnificent medieval château, once besieged by Richard the Lionheart, offers sweeping views across the valley, while the archaeological park reveals fascinating insights into prehistoric life.Just 7km away, the charming town of Sarlat-la-Canéda is a treasure trove of medieval architecture. Cobbled streets wind past honey-coloured stone buildings, lively squares, and elegant gardens. The town’s bustling markets, held on Wednesdays and Saturdays, are a feast for the senses, brimming with local produce, artisanal crafts, and regional delicacies.Nearby Domme (12km), a fortified hilltop village, is another delight.
