Spacious holiday cottage with pool and panoramic view

Nestled in the heart of the Périgord region, this 300 m² house offers unparalleled tranquility and breathtaking panoramic views.

This 19th-century building has been fully renovated by us, blending authenticity and charm with high-end, practical, and functional features. Le Pigeonnier boasts a private, secure pool measuring 11x5 m, surrounded by a 110 m² stone terrace with stunning views of the surrounding countryside. Guests can also enjoy a volleyball/badminton court and various games, such as pétanque, molkky, and more. Situated on a 1.2-hectare wooded property, it comfortably accommodates up to 16 people.

On the ground floor, you’ll find a bedroom with an en-suite bathroom, a fully equipped kitchen for preparing meals for everyone, and a dining room that seats up to 16 guests. The kitchen opens onto a covered terrace equipped with a very large outdoor table, an XXL brazier barbecue, and a ping-pong table. The spacious living room features a 55-inch smart TV, an American pool table, and a wood stove for cozy evenings.
Le Pigeonnier is also equipped with fiber-optic internet, offering a fast and reliable connection and a Type 2 charging station for electric cars

Upstairs, Le Pigeonnier has six bedrooms with high ceilings, each with its own bathroom (featuring either a bathtub or an extra-large 120x80 shower). The bedrooms are accessible via two separate staircases, ensuring privacy: three bedrooms on the left (for six people) and three bedrooms on the right (for eight people), separated by a highly insulating partition. The roof is also well-insulated (trilayer and wood) for optimal comfort. Each bedroom features high-end bedding (160 cm beds) with memory foam mattresses, ensuring restful nights.

To enhance your stay, we offer various services such as an in-house chef (Céline) or a masseuse. A babysitter can also be arranged. Bed linens and bath towels (excluding pool towels) are provided.

The gîte is located 1.5 km from the village of Pont St Mamet, which offers a tennis court (membership included for our guests), a convenience store with an excellent bakery, a bar/restaurant, a tobacco shop, a newsstand, and more. Nearby, you’ll find numerous fishing ponds and hiking trails starting right from the house.
We want you to feel at home and relaxed during your stay. Thanks to our key box, you’ll enjoy flexible arrival times, although please note that check-in is from 4:00 p.m. We will stop by in the afternoon to greet you, explain the property’s amenities, and answer any questions.

Located just 10 minutes from the hamlet, we are available to provide information on must-visit sites, top recommendations, and anything else that will make your stay exceptional.

If Le Pigeonnier is unavailable, we have another large gîte with a pool: Le Hameau (8 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms: 18 people), located 15 minutes away in Vergt: https://urlr.me/duwXPY

Dogs are welcome: €25/stay/dog, which is fully donated to the abandoned animal shelter, SPA of Périgueux.

Excellent holiday home for four families
Le Pigeonnier is a very well-thought out holiday home which was extremely comfortable for four families. A very well-equipped kitchen, we loved eating outside, pool and pool area great, lovely garden space for the children, volleyball/table tennis/pool were enjoyed. Tennis at Pont Saint Mamet was easy to organise, great local shop. We loved the isolation and peace. Merci!

Rural property perfect for groups wanting to relax.
The property is rural which means a silent night and no need to worry about neighbours. The pool is great and is warm enough for kids. The rooms are very well layed out and with plenty of room. The lounge and pool areas is fantastic, especially in rainy days. Which we had a few of. You have easy access to local towns and city's and supermarkets are about 20mins away. Overall it was a perfect location for our 4 families with 7 children and 8 adults.

Lovely property and Laure was really helpful. An example - we weren’t sure if we’d fitted the new gas bottle correctly and they came out to check for us. Also were happy to tell us of all the best places to go and to eat. A pleasure to stay here. Thank you.

French country house
Lovely 7 bedroom house in the middle of fabulous countryside. Had all of the amenities we needed. Great pool. Wonderful views. The nearby local shop had virtually everything one needed. Larger supermarkets were an easy 15 minute drive. Bergerac airport around 25 mins away. Laure and Norbert were our hosts and were always available without being intrusive. I would highly recommend for a perfect French family holiday home.

Wonderful Dordogne holiday large villa
We were 9 adults and 2 babies staying for 10 days. We were extremely pleased with the set up of the villa and the large living spaces within and external. The pool is lovely. The external area is very spacious and nicely private with a nice garden and eating area. Laure was an excellent host and very responsive. A great vacation for all in peaceful surroundings, well located in the Dordogne and we would be very happy to return.

Superb location and property for a large family holiday, very peaceful with so much space inside and out. Swimming pool was fantastic plus table tennis, volleyball and a pool table meant there was always something to do, or do nothing and enjoy the views. Laure was an excellent host and very prompt at answering any queries.

Stunning property and great hosts
We loved this house and it was just perfect for what we needed in our group. The kitchen had plenty of supplies and the location is outstanding. The house has been maintained to a very high standard and all the bedrooms were lovely. There were lots of games and activities to keep us busy. Worth noting that showers /baths and two of the wcs are not in separate rooms but behind partitions in the bedrooms, which is no problem for couples sharing but just worth bearing in mind for friends! The YouTube videos were great for working out what's in each roon before we travelled. Laure and Norbert were very helpful and great hosts. I would also highly recommend local strawberries, there are lots grown in the area and they are absolutely delicious!

Fabulous house in a wonderful location!!
Laure and Norbert meet you on arrival and as you leave. A very hospitable couple. The house provides excellent accommodation for groups of family and/ or friends with excellent facilities. The views are wonderful and the location very peaceful, but accessible to all of the attractions of the Dordogne.

Beautiful property, well equipped, away from it all, best of all was the pool.
Perfect for a large party. there were 16 of us, with 6 children who were able to play and let off steam in the vast spaces and of course the pool was a big hit. Surroundings tranquil and away from anyone else, so you can't disturb anyone. We played games like tennis, volleyball, cricket, table tennis etc and inside the pool table was used a lot by the adults! Lovely bedrooms, so nice to have your very own shower and space to relax on your own, as well as plenty of areas for shady siestas and a quiet read. We enjoyed being able to all eat together as there is ample space, we played cards and board games a lot. Brilliant fun. The owners were charming and very helpful. The pool was so lovely and clean, which is often a let down at rental properties. The water was kept sparkling at all times, so whatever they do to keep it that way, it's perfect and we felt that our children were very safe in the pool all the time. Plenty of things to do nearby if you can tear yourself away from the house for a bit. The Dordogne river is just one of many beautiful resources in the area. Very highly recommended.

Fantastic house - paradise
We had a wonderful week at the beginning of July 2016. The weather was incredible and the house even better. It is very well equipped with lots of different seating areas so great for large groups. The pool is beautiful and a few metres from the house so you can make noise without being heard in the house which was great in the evening. The house really is nicely secluded. You can only see other houses in the far distance and you are not overlooked at all. Perfect for noisy families. Even though it is secluded villamblard is only a 5-10 mi drive away and is very sweet with patisserie and cafe. Bergerac is only 15-20 mins away. It is really easy to get to places from here as one of the main roads is not too far. Beautiful country walks all around the house which we enjoyed. The only reasons I haven't marked as 5 stars is that there are not toilets in every room which can be awkward when you have different families sharing. Also the wifi didn't work most of the time and it is only a hotspot not full wifi so not good enough if you need to work or do anything complicated. We did find communication slow with the hosts. Although they were very nice. Would recommend this house and we would love to come back again

Magnifique séjour au Pigeonnier
Avec un groupe de 15 amis, nous avons passé un magnifique séjour au Pigeonnier. Tout d'abord, Laure et Norbert sont deux personnes merveilleuses qui nous ont donné un accueil très chaleureux. Nous avons communiqué bien à l'avance et à notre arrivée, ils nous ont fait une visite complète du domaine. La maison elle-même est parfaite pour un groupe d'amis. La cuisine et le salon sont entièrement équipés, les chambres sont très propres. Le jardin est immense. La piscine est à la température idéale et il y a beaucoup de place pour les activités sportives. Nous avons eu le plaisir de rencontrer Laure et Norbert plusieurs fois et à chaque fois ils nous ont donné de nouveaux conseils sur la région et les promenades à faire. Nous avons vraiment apprécié notre voyage et Le Pigeonnier nous manquera beaucoup. Ce fut une expérience inoubliable et nous reviendrons certainement. Merci encore à Laure et Norbert !
