About this property

400-Year-Old Stone House In Lovely Medieval Market Village - Dordogne SW France

If you're looking to experience life in a French village, this is where you want to be. Named the best French village for foodies by National Geographic (2022), Issigeac is a market lover's dream. The village is home to a FANTASTIC weekly market on Sunday mornings (so it's highly recommended you start your rental on a Saturday). Just steps from our front door, you can get pretty much whatever you want to eat or drink. The market spills out from the central village square into the winding streets with fruit & vegetable stands, stalls that specialize in cheese, roast chicken, fish, oysters, olives, foie gras, crèpes, paella, sausages...

The village has a full range of shops (bakery, groceries, organic food, butcher, wine, magazines), as well as cafes, restaurants, hair salon/spa, yoga studio, children's playground and artists' studios.

Our house is located in the Dordogne department of southwestern France, with the nearest airport and train station (in Bergerac) are just 15 minutes away.

The house is renovated but still simple. On the ground floor, the eat-in kitchen is surrounded by warm exposed stone walls, with exposed oak beams on the ceiling. On the middle floor, there are 3 bedrooms: (two with double beds, and one with bunk beds). The entire top floor is a sitting area/lounge with a double sofa bed and single day bed.

Outdoors, relax in our grassy courtyard garden - a rarity in such a village.

We are open to having as many as 8 people, but we recommend no more than four adults, as there is only one bathroom.

Please contact us for a 20% discount if you stay 2 or more weeks.
