Om boendet

Vacker villa vid floden med uppvärmd saltvattenpool, 10 minuters promenad till Tremolat

FUNKTAD SOM # 12 AV "TOPP 50-VILLAS VILLAS I SPANIEN, FRANKRIKE OCH PORTUGAL" i (Storbritannien) Times April 2009 och IGÅEN 28 februari 2010, vårt ljusa och luftiga hem, Le Chabrol, ligger på ett utmärkt läge på gångavstånd till den underbara byn Tremolat, under mogna träd, vid en vidsträckt öppen äng som rinner ut till flodstranden utanför, med en privat brygga för flodsimning, absolut flodfasad och den utsökta Tremolat-bron i full utsikt, och en enkel 100m-simma!

Det öppna men ändå rymliga gourmetköket med toppmodern apparater kommer att behaga den mest krävande kocken. Handla varje dag på en annan jordbrukarmarknad, njut sedan av dina skatter under körsbärsträdet vid poolen, vid bordet vid flodstranden, i formell nåd under vinrankorna på terrassen, eller inomhus vid ett fint ekbord med 6 till 10 i enkel komfort. Trädgårdarna är fulla av snittblommor som du kan plocka, plus snacks som jordgubbar, körsbärstomater, körsbär, fikon, päron, druvor och physalis, var och en under sin säsong. Eleganta "amerikanska" badrum med starka rymliga duschar och obegränsat varmt vatten. Njut av varmluftsballonger, klipptoppslott, antika marknader, Bergerac- och Bordeaux-vingårdar, kanotpaddling, Cro-Magnon-grottor, god mat och mycket mer. BOSE-surroundljud med 8 högtalare, TV, höghastighets WiFi och gratis samtal inom Frankrike.

Mer om huset: Passionerad om den franska landsbygden, stil, mat och vin, vi är mycket stolta över denna plats och älskar att spendera tid här med vänner och familj. Att ha ett vackert hem här är en långvarig dröm som går i uppfyllelse: en lugn, romantisk plats belägen vid Dordognes bredd i det vi anser vara det vackraste hörnet i Frankrike. Detta är ett område med exceptionell naturlig skönhet, genomsyren av historia, glödande av sol och fint väder, med enastående mat vid varje tur. De tidigare ägarna hade utmärkt smak. De designade renoveringen för att vara i harmoni med regionens arkitektoniska arv och dekorerade huset i dämpade färger, med subtilt eleganta tyger och giltiga franska antikviteter.

Vi älskar lite lyx, som du hittar gott om i detta hus, och vi älskar utomhusliv!

Vi känner att huset är intimt men ändå expansivt, glad men lugnt. På sommaren bor vi vid den glittrande saltvattenuppvärmda poolen, luncher under körsbärsträdet med en fantastisk flaska lokalt Bergerac-vin och underbara lokala råvaror på BBQ. På vintern älskar vi den stora spisen! Kom och njut av vårt lyckliga hem - vi tror att vi har satt mycket rimliga priser för vad du får!

Restaurangerna: Det finns en lista över våra nuvarande favoriter i köket, och du kommer säkert ha gjort en del forskning på egen hand. Frestande men det är att äta hemma varje natt (och utomhus, på det - INGEN BUGS !!!), det finns fantastisk mat att äta här i alla prisklasser. Trémolat ensam har sin berömda Michelin-stjärniga Le Vieux Logis OCH den bästa pizzarestaurangen i regionen. Inom en halvtimmes radie kan du hitta restauranger som sträcker sig från förfining i världsklass till L'Assiette Gourmande, som drivs av ett pensionerat franska par som serverar världens bästa confit och foie gras på små bord i deras vackra trädgård. Notera till höst- och vinterbesökare, FÅ DINA KASSOULET !! Det klassiska köket i Périgord har, förutom anka och gås, de andra viktiga regionala produkterna som det växer och levereras över hela Frankrike och runt om i världen: jordgubbar, valnötter, tryffel, Bergerac-viner och de eleganta Sauternes-liknande Monbazillac. På sommaren ska du inte missa nattmarknaderna, där du äter utomhus på regionala specialiteter i rustika bytorg i hela regionen - levande musik, lokalt förberedda delikatesser tillagade på plats, långa, långa bordsbord, glada, chatta och skrattande franska lokalbefolkningen och besökare från hela världen.

Att njuta av floden: Dordogne, grunt på sommaren och ganska långsamt rörlig på många ställen, är betydligt varmare än du kan förvänta dig, och en glädje att simma i. Det finns många stränder längs vägarna från vilka simning är roligt, tyst och enkelt. Vår egen bit av flodstranden är skyddad för de blå häger, vilda svanar och ankor som har adopterat den. Det är väldigt naturskönt och vi älskar att simma från vår lilla brygga med den vackra Tremolat-bron bara 50 meter uppströms. Kanotuthyrning finns tillgängligt i hela regionen så att du kan njuta av valfritt antal avslappnade timmar långa naturskådespelar. Vattenskidor och pedaler finns på Trémolat Bassin Nautique, där du också kan hyra en kanot eller kajak i några timmar, eller för hela din vistelse - det finns låsringar på vår lilla båtbrygga så att du kan hålla den säker under din vistelse . Poolen värms upp under sommarmånaderna (juni till augusti).

Korta pråkturer kan bokas i den fantastiska snidade klippbyn La Roque Gageac på vägen till Sarlat. Hyr en cykel och cykla de lugna dragvägarna bredvid de lokala kanalerna som kjolar av enstaka forsar som gjorde det grov segling när varor från regionen drev nedför floden till Bordeaux för två århundraden sedan. Klättra upp Richard the Lionheart's spektakulära befästade slott i Beynac.

Lovely home, great pool and gardens to river

The property was very comfortable and well equipped, a 15 minute walk to the centre of Tremolat across the bridge. The garden and field between the house and river are lovely -lots of birds and butterflies. The tables inside and in the garden were great for our party of 5 and would be fine for 6 to 8. We wound recommended to anyone😊

Second visit just as wonderful!

I adore this house! Set in the fields by the river it had everything we needed for a stay in rural France - great kitchen, sparkling lightly heated pool, comfortable beds with high quality linen, privacy and peace and quiet and an easy walk to the charming village of Tremolat. This was my second stay and there will be a third!

Fun for all of us!

The house was beautiful. It was just as advertised. We did a lot of swimming on most days before we would adventure out to the different towns and villages. In the evening, we would enjoy the various restaurants and the fantastic cuisine the area offered. All in all, it was an experience that we will always remember.

A week of tranquility

Beautiful place to stay! Very well equipped and therefore enjoyable for a relaxed night in dining at home and simply watching the sun go down. Also close to town for a good meal out. The river at the end of the garden was also an amazing addition with two teenage boys as we took our own inflatable paddle boards. One of the nicest places we have stayed in 20 years of this type of holiday.

Fun in the Dordogne!

I am 9 years old and loved my stay at Le Chabrol with my parents. I swam everyday in the pool and sketched and did watercolors down by the river with my mother. We rode bikes to Tremolat a few times. I enjoyed the house a lot, it was very comfortable and pretty. Also, we went canoeing one day!

Absolutely stunning

Thank you so much for another amazing stay. This is our second visit to Le Chabrol and it was just as stunning as I remembered. The house is in such a brilliant location, close enough to Trémolat that you can stroll in and the river is just at the end of the garden. It really is an amazingly idyllic spot. Le Chabrol is a beautiful house with everything you could possibly need. Eating in is easy as literally everything you could need is in the kitchen- no blunt knives or lack of saucepans here! Trémolat is a quiet village and never feels crowded but has everything you could need. There’s a bakery for your morning croissants and a great choice of restaurants. There’s a great choice of restaurants too: a pizzeria, a wine bar (you have to try the duck burgers), a bistro (we loved the confit de canard) and a stunning Michelin star restaurant. The village gets a mention on Rick Stein’s Secret France. We had a great time exploring all the beautiful villages and towns nearby and this time made it to the beautiful Marqueyssac Gardens. Thank you so much for sharing your amazing home!

Best vacation house ever

We can’t say too much about Le Chabrol, it was simply perfect and helped make our Dordogne vacation one of the best of our lives. The house is situated on a gorgeous riverside property, with a lovely patio and outside dining area, as well as the pool. The interiors are tastefully and thoughtfully decorated in French country style, and so comfortable. The enormous kitchen has everything one could need (and my husband is a professional chef) so we cooked all the local foods bought at weekly markets. We have rented properties all over Europe and USA and this was hands down the best. We’re already planning on coming back. Merci beaucoup Donals and Maureen!

An excellent property

This is the second year that we have stayed at Le Chabrol. Last year everything was excellent, this year our stay was even better. It's a first class property in a lovely location, managed by and looked after by kind and caring people who are eager to ensure that your stay is really first class. The heated pool is fantastic particularly for the youngsters. The area is very interesting and there are lots of things to keep all the family busy. There are daily markets in villages or towns within easy reach and these are always useful and exciting. We managed a number of antique markets in addition to the normal fruit and veg markets, plus an evening at the local marché gourmande. Great atmosphere and a wide variety of food available. If you go to Le Chabrol you are certain to have a wonderful time.

Perfection!

What a wonderful property to stay in. Everything is to a very high standard. The armchairs and sofa were comfortable which is not always the case, and the superbly equipped kitchen even has sharp knives - unique in our experience! The kitchen area is large and really has everything you could want to make the most of the produce from the local markets and the garden. A bottle of good local vin blanc waiting for us in the fridge was a nice welcome. Most of the bounty from the garden has gone by October, when we stayed, but we were delighted by the herb beds! Bedrooms, bathrooms... super comfortable. This property is probably at it's best in the summer, making the most of the thick walls and open doors and windows to provide a cool base for the amazing pool, field and river; which we didn't really use. However the underfloor heating, efficient radiators and cosy furnishings also made the couple of chilly days we had very comfortable. If you are staying here you will want to explore and enjoy the area with it's town markets and tourist sights; and this is a very well located base from which to do so. Cherie and Brian were always available if needed and promptly answered the occasional question. They really have local knowledge and suggested places to visit. They and the owners put every care and effort into welcoming you to a five star property for your holiday.

Le Chabrol is the vacation you’ve been dreaming of!

Le Chabrol is exquisite. The villa is clean, perfectly appointed in the way a home would be, with every comfort and need you could imagine. The location is perfect for exploring the area with the promise of peace and quiet at the end of the day. Donald, as well as Cheri and Brian, were so kind, responsive and prompt. The house is perfect for a group of friends, some couples or a family, especially if you love cooking together. The kitchen is amazing and if you don’t take advantage of it and the many local markets, you are missing out. The bedrooms have lovely linens and all the touches that make for a comfortable stay: gorgeous views, plump pillows, plenty of lighting, ceiling fans, lots of storage and hangers, modern bathrooms, the works. The pool is lovely and cool on a warm day with sturdy wooden loungers and thick cushions poolside. Towels are provided. There’s even an herb garden! One thing to keep in mind that has nothing to do with the house: this is a rural, riverside location so bring your bug spray! Mosquitoes are abundant and will likely get indoors, so it’s something to consider and prepare for. We bought some repellent locally and took it everywhere with us for outdoor restaurant dining, sightseeing, etc. But after the first frost, I bet this is not an issue. We would love to book again in another season just to see how gorgeous the valley and river must be in fall, spring, even winter. Highly recommend!

Amazing in every way!

All of the 5 star reviews are deserved--and we add our own 5 star plus review! My husband and I just returned from a wonderful week here with our 3 adult children and a fiance. It is the perfect place for a family to be together, to share delicious meals, good wine and plenty of activities. The house is as described, if not better. It was clean, roomy, comfortable and very practical, with a washer/dryer (good for daily biking), dishwasher (good for endless eating), and swimming pool (good for hot afternoons). We were greeted with fresh flowers and a bottle of the local wine. The house is very well appointed, with quality linens, china and silver. The owner is simply delightful. He responded to emails seemingly around the clock and provided great suggestions ( in addition to the house "bible" of things to do and see, which is thorough and better than any guide book). He made this easy every step of the way. We enjoyed all the activities of the area--sightseeing, canoeing, shopping at farmer's markets, and plenty of eating and drinking! We particularly loved swimming in the river (perhaps because we are a family of swimmers from California) and enjoyed a mile -plus swim from the house dock to the far bridge. We also rented bikes for the week which we highly recommend --they were delivered to the house and the purveryor, Robert, had maps and suggestions for great local rides (we saw Backroads and Butterfield bike trips heading off from Tremolat, too). There are virtually no cars, the roads are well-maintained--and there's always a cute town with a perfect eating option whenever you need a break. We went winetasting, toured Sarlat at night (beautiful), saw castles, chateaus, and beautiful villages. All in all, a perfect vacation. Our only complaint--we had just one week. Stay longer if you can! Many thanks to Donald and Maureen.

Impeccable

Reflecting on four delightful weeks at Le Chabrol has me reaching for the thesaurus to come up with a suitable list of superlatives; let me start with effortlessly stylish, lush, pretty, wonderfully situated, impeccably decorated, casually elegant – get the idea? This is no ordinary gite. We had a delightful family holiday. Le Chabrol is wonderfully livable for families. Our children loved the pool, the lawns (the local lawn man happily mowed a cricket pitch into the grass, resulting in some epic father-and-son cricket contests) and exploring the paths down to the edge of the river. The cable tv and excellent wi-fi were useful on the days when the Perigord was unseasonably wet. While our children were not super-keen market-goers (“Dad, do we really need more cheese and duck fat?”), there are plenty of attractions nearby: amazing castles, horse-riding, canoeing, caves and so on. The little details push Le Chabrol up into the highest category of holiday accommodation: things like sharp chef’s knives and a truly bewildering array of wonderful cooking paraphernalia, luxurious linens, super-comfortable beds, bunches of flowers from the garden, and underfloor heating (great on chilly mornings). And there are lovely surprises, like a herb garden: on many occasions we picked a few leaves and added basil, or parsley, or tarragon to our cooking. We feasted on fistfuls of ripe strawberries and raspberries. Fantastic. The local village, Tremolat, (an easy ten minute walk away) is beautiful and has all the basics (two bakeries, of course, a small supermarket and several cafes) but those who like a bit of bustle will be disappointed: Tremolat is very quiet – sometimes almost too quiet. Tremolat does boast a sensational restaurant, Le Vieux Logis, a buzzing bistrot and a great pizza bar. Further afield lie many market towns full of the best produce of this region. We must mention Brian, the genial, talented and astonishingly helpful manager. He, and his formidable wife Cheri, helped us with humour and good grace when a couple of unforeseen problems arose. The owner, Donald, is always ready to assist via e-mail if required. Le Chabrol is sophisticated, inviting and comfortable. Stay as long as you can and let the many delights of the Perigord work their charms on you. We left Le Chabrol relaxed, slightly more rotund, and longing to return.

Pure Heaven!

This review is long overdue from our May to June stay at Chabrol. This is our second time renting his beautiful home. We keep thinking we should go somewhere else in the area, but I have never found a house that equals the standards of this one. Every little detail was thought of when the original owners, Gary and Billy, built this house. The gourmet kitchen is quite large and fabulous. My husband loves to cook and it was so fun to spend time in the kitchen preparing meals and drinking wine. It's such a wonderful place that there really is no reason to leave. We had almost every meal for the entire month at home. It is a great home for entertaining due to the design of the great room with the open living and dining area. And the bedrooms are all perfectly appointed, right down to the wonderful Italian linens on the beds. (If I could steal those from you, Donald, I would!) And then there is the outdoor area! I love the large dining area and all the chairs around the pool. There is also a round table which you can move around depending on where the sun or the shade is. I love putting it under the cherry tree in the shade in the afternoon when we have lunch! The outdoor area is such a peaceful place to relax while reading a book and lounging by the pool. It's hard to think of staying in a big city in Europe after the quietness of this countryside. I would be remiss if I did not also mentioned the caretaker, Brian. He's a very fun and happy guy, always ready to pop in whenever you need anything. And his wife, Cheri, always puts beautiful flowers in the rooms. A must for us when we rent a home in Europe is to be very near a quaint little village. This home fits the bill as it is a 10 to 15 minute walk into town. Thanks to the lovely Vieux Logis Relais et Chateau, the little village of Tremolat has a couple of really good restaurants. There is something for everybody in terms of dining choices… The Vieux Logis for fine dining, their bistro restaurant across the street for more casual dining, and the even more casual Les Tartines. Les Tartines is a new addition from our trip two years ago. The duck burger is incredible! We made more than one trip for that burger while staying there this time! There are so many wonderful small villages, outdoor markets and restaurants, all within short drives of the house. It really is a great location to base your Dordogne travels from. A stay in this charming home is a must!

Living a dream

Every aspect of our stay at the beautiful ‘Le Chabrol’ was idyllic. Such a comfortable and beautifully decorated home, well appointed kitchen (we had eager chefs staying with us), lovely shaded garden and swimming in both the pool and river enjoyed by all.

Best trip ever!

The story book house and setting are dreamlike. My husband and I along with our 9 year old daughter travelled from Texas to be here. We have wanted to come for awhile. And Le Chabrol lived up to everything we imagined and more. We loved swimming in the pool, canoeing on the river, biking and visiting little villages. Having dinner outside at home and in wonderful smalll restaurants.We were sad to leave.

My love for France began when, as a young Australian doctor, I was lucky enough to work at L’Hopital Americain de Paris in Neuilly, suburban Paris. The experience changed my life. I came to appreciate the 'joie de vivre' of the French, I learnt to love the French culture, style, food, wine and countryside. I travelled to the Dordogne in that first year, 1978, and was spell-bound by the beauty of the region, the river and all that it encompassed.

After my time at the L'Hopital Americain, I returned to Melbourne, completed my training as an eye surgeon, had further specialist training in Holland, the UK and in Cleveland, Ohio in the USA and then set up practice in both private and public hospitals in Melbourne. For many years, I was involved with Aid trips to treat blindness in the Pacific Islands – Vanuatu, Solomons, Kiribati, Tonga and Tuvalu.

Wonderful people, simple lives, beautiful places, bountiful natural supplies. These are the things I love and in its own way, the Dordogne embodies all of them.

In April 2014, I travelled to the Dordogne and met Gary Gunas who, with his partner Billy Rosenfield, had restored this magnificent 300 year old barn on the riverbank, now known as Le Chabrol, just a stone’s throw from one of the loveliest villages in the region.

Gary and Billy were reluctantly selling the property to purchase an apartment in Paris and we were able to purchase Le Chabrol with all their beautiful, original art, superb furnishings, a fully equipped kitchen.
We also have Paula Lopez as a wonderful manager, Corinne Jammet to keep the house spotless, Simon Batt to keep the lawns perfect and Benjamin Escarment to maintain fine gardens.

Varför värden valde detta boende

We love this property for the way it addresses that great rule of Location, Location, Location.
Location #1: The Dordogne itself. We've vacationed in this region since the late 1970's and we believe it's the loveliest corner of France. This is an area of exceptional natural beauty, steeped in history, glowing with sun and fine weather, with outstanding cuisine at every turn. Our fellow expats here claim, and we agree, that for certain people there's a definite magnetism here that draws you in and just doesn't let go - kind of a mystical, visceral pull, in fact.
Location #2: Our little corner of the Dordogne. The Périgord Noir, as it's called, is the heart of the heart of the region, known for its indigenous black truffles and the black shade of the pine forests that still stand in many areas, however open to farming and scenic vistas it may be today. We have far less of the tourist-jammed traffic of the Sarlat area, 40 minutes to our east, and far more of the sumptuous tranquility which is the region's greatest asset.
Location #3: Our own plot of land. Turning our backs on our quiet little road, we overlook our own pool and gardens, and beyond that the open fields and river, with our own land blending into the neighbours' as far as the eye can see. Giant sky, total privacy. Sweet.

When our now good friends, Gary and Billy bought this property, it was a very tired working barn - cows were still living on its mud floor! They designed the renovation to be in harmony with the region's architectural heritage. From the street, it still looks rather like the barn always was - large-scale louvers around the front door reflect the house's original heritage as a tobacco-drying barn. But from the back - the side facing the river - it's clearly more like the 'Relais et Chateau' properties that inspired its design. More than one friend has called our house a Tardis - a seemingly-modest box by the road, with a whole other UNIVERSE inside and out back.

Vad som gör detta boende unikt

We love to cook -- elaborate meals, for lots of friends and the kitchen was designed to suit this joy. It's got everything you could possibly want in terms of equipment -- fish poachers, cherry pitters, cake and tart pans of all sizes, the works. And given the quality of even the most basic foodstuffs here -- from the daily farmers' markets or the superb Grand Frais shop in Bergerac and other specialty shops like Arvouet Foie Gras in Le Buisson -- well, you can cook the same recipes you use at home and come up with flavours you never thought possible! But you can also use our many French cookbooks (all in English) and cook like you've never cooked before.
What sets us apart from most other rental houses in the area is that it's really a HOME, and not a calculated, Ikea-furnished rental property. The house was designed and furnished with basic calm and good taste and decorated in muted colors, with subtly elegant fabrics and authentic French country antiques. When you compare ours to many other properties, you won't find 'that' sofa here (as one of our guests recently exclaimed with relief)!
Further, while it's indeed our home, we always de-clutter it completely before any guests arrive, so that you're never living with any of our 'stuff' -- every closet and cupboard is completely empty and sparkling clean. No clothes, photos or toys. You're not working around us; the house is all yours when you're here. We rent HomeAway homes on our own holidays, and a key factor for us is just this -- not feeling like we're bunking in with strangers!

We want this to be your very own home away from home.
