About this property

A Little Gem on the Banks of the River Dordogne - 4 ****

Belle Rivière - 4 **** century old 2 bedroom house of character on the banks of the river Dordogne with breathtaking river views. Featuring all modern amenities but retaining its original character with a lovely internal courtyard and a river view terrace area, Belle Rivière is your holiday home away from home. With its proximity to all amenities, chateaux scattered all around, beautiful idyllic towns and villages, and morning/night markets, Belle Rivière offers the charm of French living.
The space
Belle Rivière has been renovated to very high standards with all modern amenities but retaining all original features, keeping in mind our clients need for a truly relaxing holiday experience.
On ground floor, the property comprises of a welcoming internal courtyard where one can relax reading a book or having that apero, a spacious living space area with TV and dining area, a wc and a modern fully equipped kitchen overlooking the river. On the first floor there is a big bedroom with its own little balcony overlooking the courtyard, a second big bedroom with an enclosed terrace overlooking the river and a bathroom with wc, shower and bath. On the second floor, for those who cannot get away from their work, one finds an office working space where hopefully it will not be used that often!!! The cherry on the cake is the little terrace right on the banks of the river Dordogne where one can spend those relaxing evening with a glass of wine or having dinner alfresco.
Belle Rivière is walking distance to all amenities, such as, supermarkets, pharmacy, bars and restaurants and the popular St Foy la Grande open market which is open every Saturday all year round.

A Gem on the Dordogne
After reading the guest book at Belle Rivière, getting ready to write my own entry, I thought to myself, “Wow, it’s all been said, and it’s all so true!” Belle Rivière is a great rental property - a perfect blend of a traditional French home and modern amenities in both kitchen and bath, two outdoor spaces, really comfortable beds, beautiful view of the Dordogne River and the town of Ste. Foy la Grande. Belle Rivière is in a great location - walking distance to a fabulous boulangerie, a supermarket, restaurants (great ones) and an impressive Saturday market…plus driving distance to many charming villages, vineyards, chateaux, and antiquities…plus outdoor activities including a riverside walking path (upstream and downstream) right at the doorstep. The owners, Sylvia and Raymond are outstanding hosts - they welcome you, answer any and all questions, offer advice and suggestions, and respond ever so quickly to any inquiry. They are gracious and thoughtful people who take excellent care of their house and their guests. Our two week stay at Belle Rivière was parfait! We have vacationed in France for years, and we always stay in a rental property, and this one is truly outstanding.
