Valley of the Five Castles, Charming Residence from 1851, renovated like new.

Rated 3 stars by the official organization named "Gîte de France"
Within a radius of ten kilometers you will not have enough time for a week to discover the cultural or natural wonders that surround the town of Montfort. Its castle of course at the foot of the Dordogne, La bastide de Domme and La Roque-Gageac built between cliff and river (Two of the most beautiful villages in France), the castles of Castelnaud and its museum of the War of the Middle Ages, that de Marqueyssac and its famous hanging gardens, that of Fayrac, the castle of Beynac (still one of the most beautiful villages in France). Here are places that will not leave you indifferent. Five kilometers away, the medieval town of Sarlat will charm you with its architectural and historical heritage. Outdoor destination par excellence, with its hundred kilometers of cycle paths, mountain bike trails, hiking trails, canoeing down the Dordogne river, visiting or exploring caves, fishing in white or still water.
There is something for all tastes and all ages.

Tranquil Get Away
We spent a fantastic 2 weeks at this property. We took our 2 adult children and 1 teenager and could not find fault with it. The house was beautifully clean and had everything we could possibly require. The area is stunning, the weather was hot and it all made for a perfect holiday.

Wonderful place! Great location in an extremely quaint village surrounding an 800-year-old castle. Close to everything if you have a car. Perfect place, but it could use more comfortable furniture in the living room. But I'd stay there again in a minute!

Beautifully renovated in a lovely area
This is a lovely quiet property in a pretty village with bar/restaurant a very short stroll. It is well equipped, the beds are comfortable and lots of outside space to sit and relax. The bathrooms are lovely with big showers. Small uncomfortable sofa inside. There is no air con and the two fans were incredibly noisy so unusable at night. Take lots of insect repellent as we were bitten mornings, daytime, evening and night on any tiny areas not sprayed. Beaches a drive away, loads of places to visit, we had a lovely week in the property, thank you!

A wonderful week in a beautiful area
Every aspect of our booking was excellent. Communication with Michel was speedy and efficient. The house was beautifully clean and had everything we could need. The covered pergola was a blessing as was all the outside furniture. The weather was lovely so the coolness of the house was very welcome. We would recommend this place to anyone without hesitation.

Stay in Montfort
The location was perfect and the property clean and modern. The showers were really nice and the kitchen very well equipped. It was a little odd not to have a sink in with the water closets but this was minor. It was wonderful to have a patisserie within walking distance as well as a restaurant. We would stay here again.

Beautiful house in a charming village
We loved our time here! The house was the perfect base for exploring the region, and our four-year-old loved playing in the orchard. It was still the off-season during our stay from late March to the beginning of April, so the restaurant in Montfort was closed, as were many others in neighboring towns and villages that serve tourists. We did find plenty of options in Sarlat, just a short drive away. Overall, a fantastic stay!

Beautiful House
This is a beautiful House in a great location just a short walk from the river, patisserie and a lovely bar/restaurant. The accommodation is beautifully decorated throughout and well equipped. The driveway down to the property is a little steep which could be difficult for a low car, like mine but overall it didn't cause too much of an issue. The owners are great, being local and easy to get hold of if needs be. The only comment I'd make is that due to the excessively hot temperature some of the rooms would benefit from aircon or at least a fan in each bedroom to make the nights more bearable. Overall a lovely place in a wonderful location.

Monfort Vitrac
Great house, with all conceivable kitchen appliances, conveniently located near major Perigord sites. The only problem in our stay was the long heat wave which made the four beds on the top floor basically inhabitable. Screens throughout the house would have helped. We bought two large fans that remain there.

Wonderful week with family of 5 women.
The house & the location were ideal. It was spotlessly clean and new. The kitchen was better equipped than my own. The host gave us valuable information about restaurants & places to visit. Everything was wonderful.

Beautiful house in a stunning setting, great walks and views, highly recommended!
This stunning house is situated in a truly friendly and very beautiful little village with 3 restaurants and a bakery. Our kids loved the huge garden and we enjoyed river walks from the house. There was plenty to do nearby - Sarlat market, troglodyte dwellings, canoeing and more pretty villages. We had a fabulous time!

A beautiful property in a wonderful location
This is a spacious property beautifully decorated, perfectly clean and contains everything you could possibly need. It is located in a small and lovely commune that has a boulangerie and a number of restaurants within easy walking distance. From the house there are views of a privately owned, impressive chateau which acts as a good landmark when out and about. The pictures of the lounge area are not up to date. There is comfortable seating with a television (no English language channels). The woodburner is not in the lounge area as such, but I'm sure would warm the whole property during the winter. The house has extensive grounds as well as an elevated terrace containing a table and chairs to eat Al Fresco. You car can be parked under cover in case of wet or hot weather. The only slight downside is the narrow entrance to the steep drive. If you have a wide car it maybe best to have someone guide you down!! Very highly recommended!!!! We would love to spend another holiday there. Fantastic!!!

Wundervolle Ferien im Perigord
Wir hatte 14 Tage pure Erholung. Ein wirrlich tolles Haus mit Garten, so wie es inseriert wurde. Die Bilder vom Haus hätten von uns stammen können. Wir hatten einen sehr netten und herzlichen Empfang. Unsere Zeit vor Ort hat nicht ausgereicht, um alle Sehenswürdigkeiten aufnehmen zu können. Tolle Burgen, Festungen und vor allem der Markt in Sarlat ist mindstens ein Besuch wert. Eine wirklich tolle Unterkunft und ein tolles Team, dass sich um die Angelegenheiten vor Ort kümmert. Wir werden wiederkommen.
