Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Rachel Watts
After many visits to different regions of France we were charmed by the Dordogne area in 2007. We appreciated the beauty of the countryside, the french people, their culture, local history and of course the warmer climate. We discovered a property we could buy with a view to holiday rental to share with others the peaceful ambience, exquisite gastronomy, local wines with an enticing slower pace of life. We enjoy the french language and after rekindling my school french I was hooked on learning more to have french conversation with french and english friends. We still work in England but spend our holidays here in and out of season, gradually enhancing the property and we have genuinely loved every minute of it.
Why they chose this property
Villefranche du Perigord is located in the Dordogne Valley but also close proximity to the Lot region. With both the Dordogne and Lot valley's spectacular rivers, stunning countryside, charming riverside towns, rolling hills, peaceful ambience and tranquility, magnificant chateaux, fascinating historical sites of interest we could truly lose ourselves but could find the community atmosphere within the small village if we desired. Villefranche will suit all ages and tastes with access to local nature and walks, history, sports and water activities and close proximity to popular tourist attractions and larger towns such as Perigeux, Sarlat, Domme, Monpazier, Bergerac, Villeneuve-sur-lot and Bordeaux we felt we were privileged to find such a centrally located suitable holiday property.
What makes this property unique
The house offers stunning secluded terrace views and truly comfortable beds. After renting previous gites our decision to buy a property on the edge of a village was perfect; you can be as involved with the french community as you wish whilst retaining privacy and peace located on the edge of the village. We have feedback from repeat customers who have enjoyed the benefit of walking to the interesting shops, experience the community atmosphere then return to a haven of peace hearing only birds and distant buzzards call. The property is 3-4 minutes walk from a large swimming pool with sunloungers at local campsite that offers drinks and food in their bar. Autumn/Winter holidays are popular with visitors with large open log fire and chestnut festival to offer a true "french experience".
