What a place!
Posted Aug. 26, 2024 on HomeAwayWe have travelled to many towns in this beautiful part of our planet, from groups of 6 (my family) to much larger groups with friends and family groups - this place was epic - service from start to finish - Pascal was around when we needed him, the house and grounds were perfect - the kitchen facilities one of the best for a large group (we were 14) - the Tennis court was a brilliant option to have and use - bike rides (tough hills) are wonderful - would definitely return, for more relaxation/ sun/ food/ wine and a place to create and shre wonderful memories - oh and the local boulangerie/Patiiserie! outstadning 10/10 from us - merci bcp

Beautiful and comfortable historic property
Posted Apr. 25, 2023 on HomeAwayIt is rare to get the opportunity to stay at a property that has this much history yet all modern comfort and design & art that will blow you away. The original structure of the manor is from 1590, but there are also remains of a Roman building and there were finds from prehistoric times on the site. It was the perfect spot for exploring the region- the medieval castles and prehistoric caves, and all the culinary delights.
Pascal was the perfect host; very responsive and ready to help with everything. We were a group of 10 staying for a week. Everyone really adored the place. We didn't really use the swimming pool as it was not very warm weather, but my teenage sons and nephews loved the tennis court-- they had never played before and now it has become their thing.
I highly recommend Chef Jauvin- you have to hire him for at least a night. We were at a really nice restaurant in Perigord-- L'Essentiel-- but we actually preferred the dinner M. Laurent prepared at home. I wish I could share a picture of the cozy setting he prepared in the main dining room.
I have rented many houses and apartments, but nothing this special. It's like a curated space. I wish we could have spent more time - one week is not enough to explore the region. The highlight was the cave of Rouffignac (recommended by Pascal- real caves with pre-historic carvings, not the replica shown in Lascaux) and a canoe trip on the Dordogne from Carsac to Beynac. Canoe Loisirs were great.
Overall a fantastic trip.

highly recommend
Posted Oct. 10, 2022 on HomeAwayA unique country home in a picturesque setting with plenty of space for the family. The home is well appointed, the beds are comfortable and the kitchen is VERY well equipped. The pool and tennis court are a plus. There is a lot to see and do in the area and Pascal was generous with his recommendations and quick to answer any questions we had. The on-site catered dinner was a highlight. A car is essential.

Amazing house
Posted Sep. 4, 2022 on HomeAwayWe really loved this house, having visited many French holiday properties over the years we think this was our favourite. It ticked all our boxes; it was comfortable and clean and really beautiful. It had a well equipped large kitchen, masses of outside space, including a number of dining tables, lots of TV channels plus music in kitchen and upstairs bedroom. The pool was big and deep, there were puzzles, games, books, films, table tennis, tennis court, badminton. Our adult children were always occupied. It was only a short drive to the bakery in the morning plus nearby supermarkets, however we were far enough away from neighbours to make as much noise as we wanted.
Pascal our host was very responsive and helpful.
The ONLY negative was the hornets, there were quite a few around so we tried to keep the doors and windows closed of an evening. In saying that they just flew to the ceiling and didn’t really bother us. Certainly wouldn’t stop us returning. There was a fig tree just outside the kitchen that was maybe attracting them- we ate so many beautiful figs though so that was a positive!!
Everything else was spot on and we would definitely return. Thank you for sharing your house with us Pascal.

First class accommodation
Posted Aug. 6, 2022 on HomeAwayRight from the initial booking process, communication from Pascal, the owner, was smooth and with instant replies, Pascal speaks very good English. Pascal was more than accommodating to our needs, and made sure everything was perfect for our stay.
The house is in a beautiful setting with extensive wooded grounds which was perfect for both children and adults . The property is isolated, but well secured and in easy reach of local facilities.. We particularly enjoyed our daily visit to the nearby award winning boulangerie.The pool is large and well maintained. The gardener Daniel, who visits three times in the week is very helpful.
One of the highlights of our holiday was a private chef recommended by Pascal. We highly recommend this service. It was an excellent meal for adults and children. The chef was excellent in catering for individual dietary requirements.
The house itself is beautiful decorated ,spacious, well furnished and really well equipped .
Overall , eight adults and six children had a brilliant holiday. Thank you Pascal, we highly recommend your property.

Perfect holiday
Posted Apr. 19, 2022 on HomeAwayWe were a mixed group of 5 adults and 5 teenagers. The house had the perfect selection of rooms for all of us. The pool is big and has steps down in to it, and was cleaned and taken care of by the gardener who came three times in the one week we were there. The house was immaculate and a maid also came in the middle of the week. There is a tennis court, table tennis, table football, woods and a lovely garden to spend time in.
The property is lovely and full of history whilst having modern bathrooms and a kitchen with everything you may need for cooking at home.
A 'prize winning ' boulangerie is in the nearby village where we bought croissant, chocolatines and fresh bread every day - absolutely delicious! We had breakfast in the garden every day.
Perigeuex is nearby and there are supermarkets etc within a very short drive, and horse riding and canoing too.
We could not have chosen a better or more beautiful place to stay. One week was not enough! Thank you to Pascal, the charming owner, for his excellent taste and beautiful home.

Fantastic Experience
Posted Apr. 10, 2022 on HomeAwayWe stayed for one week in April 2022 and the whole experience was perfect. We were delayed arriving and Pascal the owner was so accommodating and kept in touch throughout the stay to ensure everything was ok.
The house is amazing with so much character, from the big open fires to the lovely spot down by the pool. We were a big party of 4 adults and 8 children and there is so much space to explore everyone had a fantastic time. We hope to return one day !
