Les Cypres - Three Bedroom Villa, Sleeps 6

If the world has made you weary, an escape to this villa in the Dordogne will set things right again. The detached spa building features a Jacuzzi and Finnish-style sauna, where your tension will melt away. Once you’ve had enough heat, take a dip in the private pool surrounded by flowers. Inside, you’ll feel you’ve stepped into the pages of a magazine; sense of relaxed elegance pervades this three bedroom country charmer. And always, the outdoor spaces will call you to come breathe deeply among the trees.

Located in the commune of Vézac, you’ll find no shortage of idyllic sights to see nearby: the gardens of Château de Marqueyssac are only 3 km away. We also recommend visiting Sarlat (5 km), 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 6 km to Vitrac to rent bicycles, or ride horses, golf or go to 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.
