This was our second stay in this charming little house. Peaceful location with a pretty private garden to enjoy. Lovely historical town with a Thursday market and a stunning promenade to enjoy watching the sunset over the Dordogne valley.

Wij zijn blij dat U van het huis, de omgeving en de franse cultuur hebt genoten! Spijtig kregen we voor en tijdens uw verblijf weinig of geen antwoorden. Ook al hebben alles gedaan U het aangenaam te maken.Dit gaf ons een onaangenaam gevoel.
The cottage was clean and very well equipped. We felt comfortable and enjoyed our stay in Domme. The cottage is in a beautiful area and there were plenty of restaurants to enjoy within walking distance.
This is a lovely property in a great location. La petite bergerie is well- equipped, clean and great views from the garden. Any queries were answered immediately. Highly recommended.
We had a great week exploring Domme and surrounding area. Domme had everything we needed and within walking distance of the house. The cottage was a great base, very clean and comfortable. It was well equipped. Two things that added a final touch - the parking permit and the mosquito net over the main bed - both were much appreciated. Thank you.

Domme is a fantastic town to base yourself to explore the walled city and surrounding towns. The house is very cute and a good size for 3 or 4 people. Two bedrooms located upstairs with the bathroom, the spiral stairs are a little creaky along with some of the floor boards but not a major issue for us. The main bedroom does have a humming/machine noise coming from a cupboard that we couldn’t work out what it was for, so if you’re a light sleeper may be an issue. Otherwise, the area is whisper quiet and very relaxing. The lounge room was lovely to relax in after a day of exploring. It seemed we may have been the first guests in some time. Only recommendation would be to supply some washing up liquids and a drying rack, if they were there we didn’t find them.

Thank you very much for the five stars!
We are pleased that you enjoyed a wonderful holiday at "La petite Bergerie". Furthermore, an answer to your questions; A six-metre-long washing line hangs under the covered terrace. Where you can dry your laundry. Washing products for washing machines and dishwashers can be found in the relevant cupboard. If it has been used up, please contact us. Yes, the stairs creak a bit, but we have never had a negative reaction to it. Also not over loose planks. We will look for this.
The device you hear in the bedroom. It is a ventilation device with heat recovery that provides all rooms with filtered clean air. This way you can enjoy pure air without pollen or dust. You don't have to open windows when you go out or sleep. Hoping to have answered your questions, we wish you a nice holiday in Europe!
Très jolie petite maison dans un magnifique village, fonctionnelle et agréable à vivre (notamment le jardin, seul hic beaucoup de moustiques). Propriétaires très réactifs. Fortement recommandé.
Klein, aber romantisch, tolle ruhige Lage in Domme. Sehr gute Kommunikation mit den Eigentümern, problemloser Check-in, perfekt für 2 Personen.

Met vriendelijke groeten,

Das Haus befindet sich in einem sehr schönen romantischen Dorf mit allem, was man zum Wohlfühlen benötigt. Dieses Haus liegt in einer sehr guten Ausgangslage für viele schöne Unternehmungen und Ausflugsziele im Périgord.
Wir haben den Aufenthalt in diesem wunderschönen Häuschen sehr genossen. Die Beschreibung des Anwesens war sehr genau, der Kontakt mit dem Vermieter geht nicht besser.
Lief huisje binnen de stadsmuren van het toeristen stadje Domme. Er is veel te zien in de omgeving

Wij danken U voor uw recensie. Spijtig was de periode dat u bij ons verbleef slecht weer, waardoor het plonsbad niet zuiver was. Wij hebben dit gelukkig dezelfde dag nog kunnen opgelossen. Wij wensen U beide nog een goede thuiskomst.
La petite maison de Stefan et Anne est adorable et conforme à la description. Domme est un des plus beaux villages de France, tout était parfait !
Nous y retournerons avec plaisir! Merci ! Margaux
Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt in der kleinen Bergerie. Das Häuschen ist ästhetisch eingerichtet und der Garten bietet einen schattigen Sitzplatz für ausgiebige Frühstücke sowie einen kleinen Pool für wohltuende Abkühlungen zwischendurch.
Klein aber fein!
Excellent communication with host who was on hand to assist with any problems. Character property fully equipped for needs and very comfortable. Would mention pool a little restrictive for swimming but wonderful for cooling off when hot. BBQ area accessed by steep stone steps but a lovely addition and well used during our stay. Would certainly stay again.
Lovely cottage near one of the historic gates to Domme. Owners are well organised with excellent communication. Spotlessly clean and well-equipped. Would definitely stay again.
Un vrai plaisir de se réveiller tous les matins dans ce cadre enchanteur. La maison est petite mais très agréable et cosy.
Merci ce fut un très bon séjour familial; nous espérons revenir bientot aux beaux jours!

Bonjour Catherine,
nous vous remercions pour votre belle critique. Tu étais aussi un bon invité. Pour ce genre de revue, on le fait, et ça fait notre journée ! Nous serons heureux de vous accueillir à nouveau dans notre gîte.
Anne et Stéphane
Een Gezelig huisje binnen de stadsmuren van Domme en toch ook weer zeer rustig gelegen. Het heeft een klein tuinje waar je de nodige privacy kunt vinden met een klein zwembad dat in de zomer de nodige verfrissing kan geven, alles is er aanwezig om het naar je zin te maken, het. Het huisje zelf is zeer gezellig en ook al is het niet groot je hebt er alles wat je verblijf comfortabel en gemakkelijk kan maken voor zeker 4 man. Het was er proper en net en ook al gaat het over een oud huisje je kan zien de de eigenaars er een up to date woning van hebben gemaakt. Wij kwamen niets te kort, alles was voor handen. WIj hebben er van genoten van ons kort verblijf in Domme en onze gezellige woonst. An en Stef ja mag ons zeker terug verwachten. Het was ons allemaal zeer aangenaam.
La pequeña casa es encantadora en muchas formas. Decorada en muy buen gusto y con todas las facilidades necesarias para una estadía de ensueño.
Los detalles originales como la cocina y escalera caracol, además del patio exterior hacen de La Bergerie un lugar que definitivamente visitaremos en otra oportunidad.
La comunicación con Stef fue clara y muy a tiempo.
Recomendado 100%
We loved this place! There are many original elements that make this place very unique. You can sit on the rocking chair and enjoy the warthm of the fire place in the kitchen.
There is a nice selection of books and some board games as well.
Here you have all you need to disconnect from the day-to-day life and focus on enjoying the surroundings and slow down. Domme is really worth visiting and La Bergerie the place to stay.
We thank Stef and Anne for their hospitality. We will be certainly coming back to your place as soon as we can.

About the host
Hosted by stefan de beukelaar
Belgium is our home country and France our holiday destination! After years of hard work in our own company, we wished for something different. We have traveled around in a mobile home and visited many beautiful places in Europe. For us, the Perigord-Noir and especially this Golden Triangle turned out to be Paradise. . We wished to spend our old age, now that we are retired, in the Perigord! We have 4 sons, who like to come and enjoy themselves with their husbands and children. It is here for them the Walhalla in the culinary field. The eight grandchildren feel like real princesses and princes here between all those castles. The rural and nature gives them challenges and healthy living. They come here to enjoy farm life and tranquility, which we do not find in Antwerp! Meeting people from all over the world seemed like the future. This way our old age will not be lonely and we can assist our guests and give them a pleasant leave. We realize once again that after hard work, it is necessary to take a relaxing leave. We respect your privacy and are happy to offer our services if this is desired. We have furnished our house in such a way that it can be enjoyed in a cozy and comfortable way. And hope that in “La petite Bergerie” you can find a bit of rural tranquility in the Perigord.
