About this property

Peaceful Gite in the heart of the Perigord Noir

Maison de la Grotte is a peaceful gite in the heart of Perigord Noir. We are located in the 'golden triangle' of the Dordogne, just 40 minutes from the beautiful medieval towns of Sarlat, Perigueux and Bergerac.

The gite is on a property of 3 acres, and has a completely private garden (featuring its own cave!) with direct access to a stunning heated pool of which you have sole use. We live in a house on the property, and we respect your privacy but are on-call if you need any assistance.

The space
The gite is a completely renovated beautiful 200 year old property. Featuring a large living area and brand new fitted kitchen/dining room (with downstairs toilet), the accommodation also boasts two double bedrooms, both with ensuite shower rooms. The master beamed bedroom has a queen (160cm) bed and the second bedroom has two single beds. Outside, there is a large, completely private garden with three patios, one under the cover of a large awning. There is direct access to the 11x5m salt water heated swimming pool. We provide all bed linen, towels and pool towels. There is free Wi-Fi throughout the entire property.

Guest access
Access is via a front gate from the road with plenty of parking (at least 4 cars) at the bottom of our orchard. Access to the gite is via a wide lit pathway along the side of our main house. Whilst our hamlet does not have any shops, the town of Le Bugue (10km away) boasts several excellent supermarkets, local food shops and bars. The immediate neighbourhood has stunning scenery, perfect for walks and bicycle rides.

Other things to note:
The gardens and pool are completely private and not overlooked, our house is on the property opposite the courtyard. The gite does have quite a few steps so is not suitable for anyone with limited mobility. This is a lovely old property and the ceiling height in the kitchen is 194cm. We welcome dogs but if you are bringing a pet please do discuss with us first as we also have a dog and two cats. Also the garden is not completely secure, so your dog will need good recall!

Amazing gite and pool

Just back from a relaxing 2 week break. Andre and Alison were perfect hosts and made us feel at home. The house is tastefully furnished and has everything that you could possibly need, but the star of the show is the pool area and garden. We would whole heartedly recommend the property and hope to return at some stage.

We had a fabulous stay in this stunning property. The gite is even more beautiful in person. It has everything you could need, including a fantastic kitchen, cozy living space and comfy beds. The gite feels completely private and the views and surroundings are beautiful.The pool and pool house are luxurious and kept in pristine condition. We enjoyed days and evenings in this lovely outdoor space. The pool house has a beautifully lit eating space and even a smart TV which our family enjoyed outdoor movie nights. The hosts, Andre and Alison, were unbelievably kind and generous. They gave us so many extra treats to make our holiday even more special. Our children and dog were made to feel very welcome. We’ve come away feeling like this holiday gite is the best property we’ve ever stayed in and definitely want to come back! The location is also perfect. Many beautiful walks, interesting sites and picturesque villages are all very close by. Thank you for an amazing stay!
