About this property

In the heart of the Périgord Noir, an old 18th century farm with complete independence

Former Périgord farm of the XVIII, forming a small hamlet which is completely reserved for you. Recently restored, it offers an ideal rental for 2 families or a family with large children. The view is clear on the Laurence valley which descends to Montignac (Lascaux). Located in the middle of 9 ha close up and wood available to tenants, it enjoys great tranquility. The heated swimming pool (11 x 5 with salt hydrolysis) is secure. Many terraces serve as an exit to all buildings; some are shaded by large centenary trees. Multiple garden equipment (tables and chairs, armchairs, deckchairs, parasols, barbecue) are available.


Located on the edge of the 'human valley', as the nearby Vézère valley has been named, Fontpoutreau offers you a place of calm to approach the famous sites of Périgord. the LASCAUX cave is a few kilometers away with the town of MONTIGNAC directly located on the Vézère; there you will find the International Center of Cave Art. The famous town of SARLAT is a little beyond within 40 km and the many castles of the Dordogne valley are on your doorstep. Between Vézère and Dordogne, you will also have the choice between the various prehistoric sites or caves decorated with paintings. The national museum of prehistory is at your disposal at the EYZIES de Tayac (30 km) to retrace these main stages of the past.

Außenplätzen für jede Tageszeit, sehr weitläufig, ungestört, toller Pool, ... Der Vermieter kümmerte sich direkt um alle kleineren und größeren Fragen. Wir kommen sehr gerne wieder.

Simplement parfait

Que du positif! La propriété ressemble totalement au descriptif, avec de nombreux endroits, au soleil au bord de la belle piscine ou à l ombre d un arbre majesteux où se poser pour une lecture, un café ou une sieste. Les chambres sont tres agreables avec une tres bonne literie. La cuisine parfaite pour concocter les plats qui regalent les grandes tablées! Nous etions 4 familles avec enfants et tous ont ete conquis par le lieu, la campagne et les villages environnants (aussi parcourus à vélo). A refaire! Et merci à Lucette pour son accueil, tout aussi charmant!

Still thinking about Thenon!

Can't say enough about how good this property was! It met our expectations and was better in real life than the photos suggested. We had a family of 12 of various ages and all were happy, especially the pool, which in 42 degree temperatures was a godsend. The pool was regularly cleaned and the towels changed on a weekly basis. Any complaints we had (external lights not working) were dealt with promptly, not that we had many complaints. A knowledge of French would be useful to talk to Mme Labat, the housekeeper, as we were unable to express to her how much we had enjoyed our stay. We would return in an instant and missing it already.

Un agréable séjour

Bonne impression générale ! Maison bien équipée pour 10 personnes, bonnes literies, cuisine bien aménagée, salles d’eau ou de bains bien, piscine et jardin impeccables. Après, quelques détails qui relèvent de la maniaquerie : les chaises extérieures mériteraient un coup de rénovation, un ouvre-boîte efficace serait le bienvenu au pays du confit ! Enfin, pour les personnes vieillissantes, beaucoup de marches ! Très bon séjour (3 semaines), très bon accueil !

Perfect family holiday home

Enchanting house , secluded but not isolated. Ideal for a family holiday with no close neighbours for the children to disturb and large enough for every one of our large party to have their own space. Lovely area with lots of beautiful places to visit. We found Philippe extremely helpful and quick to respond to our enquires.

The perfect French house for a large close family. Our third visit and the fourth already booked.

This house still has the wow factor for our family; four children, partners and grandchildren 1-8yrs. Our youngest even flew from India for the week such is the bonding and banter value on offer, mainly thanks to the pool, a magnet for us all. The high spec bathrooms are another attraction. Although we came in 4 cars, as usual we did not venture far, relying on the more than adequate local Carrefour and weekly market in Thenon. A mass outing to the caves was attempted then aborted by the queue, but Decathlon in Perigieux is a popular alternative. We took 6 bikes, useful to buy bread and associated patisserie in the morning and to ride the circuit round the village through the wonderful countryside. The kitchen facilities with the stainless steel fittings are popular with us all as we take turns to cook fancy meals, some by BBQ, to impress siblings. Eating outside at night under the nicely lit trees is a treat. Not one mosquito was heard or felt. The living room is spacious, comfortable and perfect for board and card games with and without grandchildren. The sofa is refuge for sleepy children after lively pool activities. Mme. Labat welcomes us warmly on arrival and keeps the house immaculate. The house has incredible views from the top of the valley but the terrain is steep with steps crafted into the gardens. These were initially an obstacle to a 70 yr old with 2 new knees and an aversion to using sticks but did encourage independence and resourcefulness as nothing was going to prevent one being first in the pool. In short, this house is a quiet oasis, yet close to an autoroute and airports--Bordeaux, Brive and Bergerac. We drove there from London on one tank of diesel. As in previous years no one felt inclined to eat out as staying in tested everyone's culinary skills and a whole family meal is now a rare event; Carrefour did very well out of us that week.

Out of this world

My goodness how do you sum up this property? 1. Fantastic 2. Amazing 3. Unbelievable 4. Quite 5. Tranquil 6. Perfect After a rainy week in Devon in 2016 with our best friends we vowed to have a holiday in the sun in 2017. I was tasked the job of finding a place to go. New Years Eve my wife and I sat down in a cold British pub to find our ideal holiday destination and property. Somewhere with a good pool, sunshine and space (as there are two families and a few teenagers). We came across a few and ended up deciding on this house which ticked all our boxes. It is absolutely beautiful, well laid out and space for all. There is a supermarket close by and to be honest, there is also loads to see but we didn't do to much. We sat by the pool let the kids swim and laugh while we sat watching, eating and drinking (with the odd swim as well). The weather was perfect as well (not Devon). If you are looking at this house now. Book it quickly before I do. We would defiantly love to go back and have no hesitation in recommending it to anyone who will listen. Many thanks to Marie-Helene & Philippee Lanneau and of course your house keeper Madame Labat who is fantastic. We hope to see you again.

Amazing house in such tranquil surroundings. Beautifully decorated and fully equipped.

We stayed here very comfortably for one week and there were six adults and five teenage kids. We didn't even use the Gite which could have slept four very comfortably. The house sits at the end of its own private track, with the most amazing views of the country side. Extremely peaceful setting but yet only 5 minutes in a car to the nearest shops. Also a great location to explore Montignac and Sarlat towns, trips on the river and caves were all near by. Towels and bedding were all very new and clean. Much thought has gone into this property to make your holiday very pleasant and comfortable. Highly recommend this house for families or friends to spend time together. The pool was a great plus point.

The property was beautiful and everything we could have wished for. The rooms were comfortable the bathrooms plentiful, it was well equipped and plenty of places to sit outside to eat or read. Mostly we loved the pool where we spent the best part of the week. We had a wonderful family holiday thank you so much. Sue Colquhoun

Magnifique demeure !

La maison est splendide: un "cachet" ancien tout en étant très lumineuse. Sa taille est très adaptée à un grand groupe (nous étions 9), permettant grâce à son architecture et à ses nombreuses terrasses de ne pas être "les uns sur les autres". De plus elle est située dans un havre de paix, bref ce fut un séjour parfait !

Superbe maison avec une vue magnifique

Une maison très bien restaurée avec une pièce à vivre très agréable et offrant une belle vue sur les collines, dans un environnement très calme et reposant. Prestations tout à fait conforme à la description, et une disposition qui permet même si l'on est nombreux que chacun ait son intimité. La petite maison de la piscine est parfaite pour les ados! La piscine chauffée est très agréable. La localisation est très pratique : commerces proches et beaucoup de visites dans un rayon de 30 km, ainsi que des activités (l'accrobranche à 10mn de la maison, canoe à Montignac...). Nous avons passé d'excellentes vacances dans cette belle maison!

.Excellent house, pool and garden

.The house was perfect, spacious, well-furnished and interior-designed, contemporary bathrooms, large comfortable beds and the living room/kitchen was very great for our large extended family. There were lots of comfortable seating, indoors and out and places to eat, with big and small tables and a good movable BBQ. The salt water pool was most inviting, safe with easy access steps and quality loungers; our 5year old grandson learned to swim the 11m length. The kitchen was a pleasure to cook in, with a huge fridge-freezer and cooker and lots of equipment including 3 sizes of cafetieres! The property was easy to find and located within minutes of a choice of boulangeries and a more than adequate Carrefour Compact so no need to drive miles to a hypermarket. We were greeted by a friendly Mme who explained all we needed to know; the house was spotless and the grounds and pool area well maintained. We all loved being in the house, pool and garden, and we know the area, such that we didn't feel the need to explore much except to canoe down the river from Montignac and to visit nearby caves. Nor did we eat in local restaurants as the facilities and view provided were enough to satisfy us all, with the cooking being shared. Having rented several large houses with pools in SW France in recent years we found this easily the best. The photos on the website suggested it was special but the reality far surpassed the modest description and picture. This property has the ultimate WOW factor and the owners deserve credit for their taste and the quality of their property.

Beautiful house, excellent facilities, lovely view

We loved this beautiful farmhouse, the website photos look stunning and the reality is even better! The interior is beautifully designed and definitely has the “wow factor” as you walk in. The house is perfect for large groups of family or friends. We were 12 adults and found plenty of room for everyone to have their own space, and yet with dining and sitting areas able to accommodate the whole party, inside or outside. Everything is neat and clean on arrival, and the kitchen, bathrooms and other facilities all work well, especially the two new bathrooms and their attached bedrooms. Furnishings are comfortable, although the white coverings and linen might be challenging for those with young families! The house is well equipped with enough of everything to cater for 12 people, with the oven, fridge and dishwasher all up to the task. Outside, there is a variety of sitting places for sunshine and shade, the pool is lovely; very clean and with a “refreshing” temperature during our stay. The location is quiet and peaceful, and the views over the valley are lovely at all times of day, but most especially when helped by a glass or two of wine in the evening! Thenon is a nice village, with an excellent Carrefour – especially the butcher – and the nearby historic village of Ajat offers a wonderful Auberge for drinks or dinner. Further afield, Montignac’s Wednesday market is well worth a visit. The owner, who lives away, and his local representative were very friendly and helpful, and overall we would happily recommend Fontpoutreau as a great holiday location.
