We just spent two weeks at this this rental home in Sarlat-la-Canéda. This character property was thoughtfully and professionally refinished without sacrificing the original look and feel of the original18th century home. Everything you need inside (and outside) is there with expansive, elevated, very private grounds and morning visits from the local deer population.
It is a short drive to MANY castles and the Dordogne River where we spent a few hours canoeing and enjoying breathtaking views of La Roque and Beynac and much more.
The owners truly exceeded expectations and totally made us feel comfortable with our perfect, quiet, rental in the Dordogne area of France. We will recommend this Gite to all our travelling friends
Vraiment exceptionnel !
La maison : très belle maison ancienne, remarquablement située en hauteur, dominant la vallée, avec un splendide jardin. Elle est parfaitement équipée : salon de jardin, literie de qualité, chauffage agréable et efficace, salles de bains pratiques et confortables, cuisine remarquablement équipée : appareils, casseroles et poêles, couverts et vaisselle etc. tout de qualité et en grande quantité - ce qui est rare dans une location de vacances.
La région : la ville de Sarlat est magnifique. De plus, on pourrait séjourner un mois en découvrant chaque jour quelque chose de nouveau (site, château, animation...), le tout dans un périmètre de 20 km. Incroyable !
L'hôtesse : irréprochable ! Très agréable et gentille, elle montre un réel souci du confort et de l'agrément de ses locataires.
Depuis plus de 30 ans que nous louons 2 à 3 fois par an, cette offre est dans notre top 3 des meilleures que nous ayons eues !
Merci Virginie !
Nous recommandons très, très chaleureusement.
