Elegant Holiday Home in Truffle Village with Heated Pool, Zipline + Trampoline

A spacious detached family house, at a quiet location, with a swimming pool and a large fenced garden. A garden where children can play to their hearts content, either on the trampoline, or hanging from the zip line. From the swimming pool, the garden extends downwards. It invites you for a stroll around or to find a secluded place in the sun or shade for a good read. Or maybe just lie back, close your eyes listen to the hooting of the owls in the evening which is why our house is called "Fete de la Chouette" ("the Owl Party"). How about a picnic next to the mimosa tree or a barbecue on the terrace? This adventurous garden with its huge trees and many bushes is a paradise for children to play for instance hide-and-seek.
A house in a village where you can enjoy the beautiful surroundings in the morning with a crusty baguette under your arm. Where you can choose from several restaurants in the evening, within walking distance. Our favorite is Dix. This restaurant was the only restaurant in the Dordogne to get a place in Gault & Millau's Sélection 109, a list of the 109 new best chefs of France in 2021. Sainte-Alvère is a picturesque place and is famous for its truffles. These are sold in winter on Mondays at the truffle market. The price for a kilo of 1st category truffles can be between 600 and 1000 euros.

In summer, evening markets are organized in Sainte-Alvère where the most delicious local dishes are served, made from local produce. Characteristic are the sandstone houses in the picturesque streets, where you imagine yourself to be in the middle ages. But with all the modern facilities you could wish for, such as a medical centre, a pharmacy, a large supermarket, a hairdresser, an ATM, a petrol station, a post office, an art gallery, a tourist office, enough to make your stay in Sainte-Alvère agreeable.
The house is a perfect base for excursions, also to larger places such as Bergerac, Sarlat and Perigueux, a city that goes back to Roman times. Thanks to its central location in the Perigord Noir region, most attractions are easily accessible. In summer, many towns have evening markets. Within a radius of 15 kilometers, there are numerous possibilities for trips to excellent restaurants, beautiful medieval villages, castles, caves, museums, beaches, aqua parks or wineries.
Would you rather go on a canoe trip, play golf or tennis? This also is available in the neighborhood. Hikers will be in for a treat. The region is not only known for its beautiful walking routes, which start in the immediate vicinity of the house, but also for its challenging trails for runners and cyclists. Within a radius of 25 kilometers, golf enthusiasts will find no fewer than 5 beautifully designed golf courses. You can play tennis in Sainte-Alvère itself and rent canoes in various places along the rivers Dordogne and Vézère.
