Om boendet

Fairy Tale French Farmhouse nära Sarlat med privat pool, fruktträdgårdar och trädgårdar.

VÄLKOMMEN TILL GAURENNE: DITT HEM I FRANKRIKE

Gaurenne ligger i en hög äng i hjärtat av Frankrikes Périgord Noir-region och nära den magnifika medeltida staden Sarlat. Det är ett charmigt bondgård från början av 1700-talet. Fastigheten ligger inom 15 till 30 minuter från de mest berömda platserna i Dordogne, och ändå erbjuder den en lugn lugn som gör sikten till ett val men inte en nödvändighet. I denna vackra miljö, med utsikt över angränsande kullar och byar, är det möjligt för en besökare att förbli ostörd, gå genom fastighetens 22 tunnland äng och skog, efter vandringsleder genom dalen och närliggande byar. Bredvid huset finns både frukt- och valnötträdgårdar, och den täckta stenterrassen fångar sommarbris och ger en nådig plats för uteservering och avkoppling. Det finns också en saltvattenpool som fungerar under sommarmånaderna.


OM HUSET
I sin bukoliska miljö är Gaurenne en trehundra år gammal gård med speciell charm. Arrangerat runt en innergård på traditionellt sätt som franska gårdar, är det ett fint exempel på Périgordine-arkitektur. Byggnaderna är konstruerade av den gyllene kalkstenen som är typisk för regionen och har brant stigande tak gjorda av stenplattor. Dessa högt uppskattade "lauze" tak finns inom en begränsad radie på 20 mil i denna del av Dordogne och ger den lokala arkitekturen sin saga kvalitet. Klättringsrosor, jasmin och lavendel fyller gården med doft, och örtträdgården vid dörren är avsedd för din användning. Huset har restaurerats på ett sätt som respekterar dess ursprungliga rustika karaktär, medan moderna bekvämligheter har lagts till för komfort.


Interiören har många väggar av exponerad sten och takbjälkar i hela, med golv i den honungfärgade lokala stenen ner och av kastanj på övervåningen. Inredningen inkluderar antikviteter och franska tyger. Huvudvåningen består av ett ätkök, ett vardagsrum / matsal, ett tvättstuga och ett halvt badrum. Köket är generöst och har diskmaskin och vanliga bekvämligheter. Från bordet ser ett vackert stenfönster ut mot ängen. Vardagsrummet är stort och har en bekväm sittgrupp samt ett långt gårdsbord för matsal. På övervåningen finns det två sovrum, ett med en dubbelsäng och det andra med två enkelsängar som kan förenas för att göra en king size-säng. Båda rummen har stora, franska fasadfönster, antika armstolar och generösa byråer. Det finns också ett badrum med badkar och regndusch, ett uppvärmt handduksställ och en diskbänk i en kakelbänk. WC är separat. Huset är utrustat med centralvärme, tvättmaskin och trådlöst internet.


UTOMHUSRUM
Gäster som anländer till Gaurenne går in i en grind som leder in till en innergård som är fylld med blommor och delvis skuggad av ett planträd. Längst bort på gården har en stenterrass intill köket ett långt teakbord och stolar för uteservering. Ett tegeltak skyddar terrassen, vilket gör det till en trevlig sittplats i dagens hetta. På norra sidan av huset finns en fruktodling; frukten är din för att ta om du råkar vara där när den är mogen. Det finns också en valnötodling. På södra sidan av huset är poolen dold från sikten men är öppen mot ängen och kullarna bortom. Mätt 17 ′ x 36 ′ och byggdes bara om och gränsades till stenar från Bourgogne. Detta är en favoritplats för gästerna och är ett välkomnande nöje i slutet av en sightseeingdag. Loungestolar, badhanddukar och mattor tillhandahålls, liksom kickboards och några vattenleksaker för barn. Gaurennes 22 tunnland är din att utforska, och spår som du kan plocka upp på fastigheten kan följas i miles genom landskapet, antingen till fots eller på cykel. Skogen under huset är en härlig plats att promenera, och under dem är en helt privat dal som gör en underbar picknickplats. Fem minuter bort ligger en by där du hittar ett postkontor och en mataffär / bar / kafé som serverar underbara, billiga hemlagade måltider. Det finns också två underbara restauranger precis utanför byn. Lika lika nära ligger en sjö med en offentlig strand och tennisbanor. Femton minuter bort har den medeltida staden Sarlat allt du behöver, inklusive butiker, restauranger, biograf, sjukhus, sommarfestivaler och två gånger i veckan en stor utomhusmarknad.


REGIONEN
Dordogne ligger i sydvästra Frankrike och är en region med mild skönhet, känd för sitt fina köket, medeltida byar, stolta slott och extraordinära exempel på förhistorisk grottakonst. På grund av den unika kombinationen av rikligt med fisk och vilt och klippor som stiger upp från dalarna som ger säkra bostäder i myriade grottor och grottor har fler spår av människors närvaro för tusentals år sedan hittats här än någon annanstans i Frankrike.


Gaurenne ligger i den del av Dordogne som kallas Périgord Noir, som erbjuder ett frodigt landskap med gängande floder och prickade med charmiga byar. Täta skogar växelvis med böljande ängar och åkrar. Även om det finns städer och platser som lockar besökare under sommarmånaderna, är detta en region som främst är jordbruksprodukter, med en lugn, orörd natur där det traditionella sättet att leva fortfarande är mycket bevis.


Du kommer ändå inte att sakna aktiviteter för att fylla dina dagar. Det finns omfattande vandringsleder, kanoturer på floderna Dordogne eller Vezere, ridning, simning och tennis, alla i närheten. Det finns också många slott att besöka (Beynac och Castelnaud får inte missa) såväl som unika platser som den förstörda Chateau de Commarque och Cabanes de Breuil (ett ovanligt kluster av gamla, runda, stenhus med okänt ursprung). Regionens rikedom av förhistoriska platser är nära till hands. Lascaux-grottorna, Font-de-Gaume, Nationalmuseet för förhistoria vid Les Eyzies-de-Tayac och Abri de Cap Blanc med sina snidade hästar ger en minnesvärd upplevelse. Lokala utomhusmarknader erbjuder regionala produkter och produkter, där Sarlat är en av de mest färgstarka i Frankrike. En lista över föreslagna utflykter, restauranger, marknadsdagar och lokala sommarfestivaler finns för att hjälpa besökare att utnyttja sin vistelse fullt ut.

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.
