About this property
Beautiful Perigourdine style house. Sleeps 12. Private pool. 2 acre garden.
House in Villetoureix, Riberac, Aquitane, France - Situated on the edge of the village of Villetoureix surrounded by countryside. Wonderfully private.
Le Paillere (The Hayfield) is a great family house with a child friendly garden. It sleeps 12 (max 10 adults), in a beautiful 'Perigourdine' style chalet house which sits in the middle of a secluded south-facing 2 acre garden with private, fenced swimming pool.
There are 5 bedrooms in total. The 2 king-size bedrooms on the ground floor both have French doors that lead onto the patio and garden. The 3 large bedrooms on the first floor all have ceiling fans and are all en-suite: one is a king-size double with dressing area; one a twin with wooden cot; and the third has 2 single beds and a bunk bed. All 5 bedrooms have plenty of wardrobe and cupboard space, with clothes hangers provided. All the beds are comfortable, with top quality mattresses, and duvets & pillows made from hypoallergenic hollow fibre, suitable for people with allergies or asthma.
The large fully accessible ground floor bathroom has a corner bath, walk-in shower and WC, and is ideal for those that are less mobile.
There is a well equipped kitchen plus utility room, which contains everything you need to cater for a large group. This includes a range with 2 ovens, grill, and 7 hobs, plus a dishwasher, washing machine, microwave, 2 fridges and a freezer compartment.
The open plan dining area has a large oak table that seats 10, and a lounge with log burning stove (for winter guests). Two sets of French doors give access to the terrace and gardens. There is also a separate study room for individual quiet time. Wi-Fi is available throughout the house.
The large terrace/patio has a dining table which comfortably seats 12, along with rattan settees for relaxing. A charcoal BBQ is also available for use.
The location is wonderfully private and quiet, and yet just a few minutes to the Boulangerie. The property is situated on a hill in the small village of Villetoureix about 5 minutes from the market town of Riberac with a large Leclerc supermarket and all the usual shopping facilities. Brilliant market on Fridays with lots of fresh, locally grown fruit and veg.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Helen Middlemass
We live in England, and have two grown-up daughters: one recently married and working as a primary school teacher, and one at university.
We’ve always loved to travel and often found ourselves drawn to France. After we retired, we decided that we wanted to spend more time in France to enjoy the food, wines and culture of this lovely country, and to improve our conversational French.
We fell in love with this house as soon as we saw it, and count ourselves so lucky to be able to 'escape' to France as often as we can to spend time here.

Why they chose this property
Villetoureix is a quiet and peaceful location, but close enough to the pleasant town of Riberac, with its variety of small shops, cafes, bars and restaurants, and a popular weekly market.
The northern Dordogne area is relatively unspoilt, and there is a peace and tranquillity to the beautiful countryside in this region. We enjoy visiting the many delightful towns and villages in the locality of Riberac and also further afield, sampling the local cuisine and wines.
The house is also well placed to use as a base for travel further afield within the south-west of France.

What makes this property unique
Without a doubt the large terrace, 2 acre garden and swimming pool.
The house and gardens are wonderfully spacious and private, and you can feel at home as soon as you arrive. Everything is set out for your comfort and enjoyment.
The pool is so inviting, and kids of all ages can spend hours each day splashing around and having fun. The less-energetic can make the most of the peace, tranquillity and seclusion of the grounds, wandering around and relaxing at leisure. The terrace is perfectly laid out for long, lazy lunches, and tranquil al-fresco dining later in the day.
We also love the style of the property and its spacious feel inside. Upstairs, the 3 large bedrooms are all en-suite, with 2 more bedrooms downstairs, along with a family bathroom that is suitable for elderly or less mobile visitors. The downstairs bedrooms, study and sitting room all have patio-door access to the terrace. The fully fitted kitchen, with separate utility room, is well suited to catering for a large number, and the large terrace at the rear has a fantastic dining table seating 12, with additional settees for lounging.
We really want you to have the most wonderful holiday here, and to love the house as much as we do.
