Le Figuier: In the heart of black Périgord, old farmhouse with panoramic view

This stone house, a restored former farmhouse, very cool in summer, can accommodate up to 6 people. It is located on a hillside in a quiet and green hamlet, 3 km from St Geniès, a typical village with slate roofs.
The house has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, 1 shower room, and 3 toilets.
Facing due east with a magnificent panoramic view of the valley, you can enjoy the terrace for dining or relaxing.
You can enjoy a private garden (200 m²) shaded and with a climbing frame for children.
The fenced and secure swimming pool (7m x 3.5m) is shared with another 4-person gîte on the property. It is unheated and open from June to September.
The property is located midway between the Vézère valleys, near the prehistoric sites of Lascaux IV (10 km) and Les Eyzies (International Center for Prehistory) (10 km), and the Dordogne valley with its castles and remarkable sites.
Sarlat (13 km), a superb medieval town, is renowned for its summer activities and gastronomy.
If you enjoy walking and nature, numerous marked trails will take you through the forests and countryside of our beautiful region around the house.
You will meet local producers to enjoy regional products.
Part of the gîte is accessible to people with reduced mobility (living room, kitchen, master bedroom, terrace).
Pets are not allowed.

Options:
- Linens (sheets, tea towels) are included in the rental. Beds will be made upon your arrival.

Wonderful stay in Périgord Noir

A really lovely house which the photos don’t really do full justice to. The outside space and terrace were lovely and private. The pool area is tranquil with lovely views. Only a short drive to the nearest village which has everything you need. Perfect location for visiting castles, restaurants, beautiful villages. A week wasn’t long enough. We’d love to return. Thank you, Florence.

Cute house with plenty of character and stunning views

Cute house with plenty of character and stunning views. Lots to see and do near by. Florence and her lovely mother were the perfect hosts, attentive but not interfering. We didn’t realise at the time of booking that the pool was shared with another Gite, however this wasn’t a problem.

A Lovely place to stay

We have just had (September) a most enjoyable week in Florence’s gîte in the Dordogne. The gîte is part of an old family farmhouse, with lots of charm, in a peaceful and beautiful part of the Dordogne, 3 kms from the nearest village (St Geniès) and within 30 minutes of lots of interesting places to see and explore. We are a retired couple and went with another couple (old and good friends). We had a great week – all too short. – enjoying very much our meals, drinks and chats on the terrace, with its stunning views amid the quiet of the countryside around us; walks – near and beyond; and, the swims in the pool - beautifully clean and well looked after. Florence was an excellent host: helpful, friendly and hospitable, and who made us feel very much “at home”. Thank you, Florence! – we very much enjoyed meeting you, and thank you for a lovely holiday. Alan & Mary

What a beautiful place

Terrace view was fantastic, pool was a real treat for us all. Very close to lots of scenic features and places to visit - we had several lovely meals in Sarlat, we canoed down the Dordogne, we visited Castlenaud and Domme - all within an easy drive from the property. Don’t mind paying for towels and bedding but probably better to be a refund if not required rather than an extra. It was like stepping back 40 years in the UK, hearing the cuckoo again, seeking woodpeckers, wild orchids, lizards, swallows etc etc. Suited us down to the ground.

Excellent house, great local amenities

Florence was an excellent owner, great communication and was always keen to help any issues. She was very respectful and kind with lovely welcome gifts of fruit and wine and was always happy to talk to my children. Pool was excellent, clean and well maintained and provided hours of entertainment for my boys (and husband!). House was clean throughout and really functional for a growing family. The views were stunning and I'll miss my coffee on the terrace in the mornings. Would definitely visit again!

Amazing stay, beautiful surroundings, incredible hosts

This is a wonderful old farmhouse set in the rolling Dordogne countryside. The nearest village, St Genies, is a five minute drive away, with larger supermarkets less than 15 minutes away, but it still feels completely remote, and very relaxing. Before the stay, Florence was very communicative, and helped with loaning us towels, sheets, and a baby bed. On arrival, Florence and her family greeted us and showed us around the property, explaining everything we needed help with. When we needed a babysitter, they helped to find one; likewise taxis, recommendations for places to visit in the area; local bakeries etc. The swimming pool was perfectly maintained, and a really good size for a lazy day spent in the house. There was also a BBQ which we used every day. All in all, an amazing stay. A great mix of relaxing in the countryside, active trips to the river, and amazing cultural trips around the chateaus and towns of the region. Could not recommend enough!

Quiet quirky property

Spent 2 lovely weeks in this property . The location was perfect for visits to the river at Vitrac, the lake at Tamniès , Monkey forest, and Sarlat. The balcony was brilliant and the swing and pool were well used by the grandchildren. The shower was good but the big bathroom did get a bit smelly in the very hot weather. The chickens were cute!

Rustic and quiet holiday home in the Perigord Noir with a view

We had a lovely 2 week holiday at the house in St. Dramont. The house lays nearly at the top of the hill, with a view of the valley and beyond. St. Genies (very small village) is a short drive away, as are Montignac (Lascaux), Sarlat and numerous other touristy places within 30-45min drive. The house is spacious, both the living room/kitchen as well as the 3 bedrooms. The ground floor stays nice and cool thanks to the thick walls, the first floor however did get (very) warm on sunny days. The kitchen was equipped with all the basic necessities (2 coffee machines), but lacked regular and kitchen knives; a coal BBQ (Weber) is also provided in the garage below. A thing to note is that the water is very rich in chalk, everything from the dishwasher was covered with a thin layer of chalk. Overlooking the valley are the terrace (partly covered with a retractable shade) and garden (with hammock), where we spent a lot of hours during the day and evening. The swimming pool located to the side of the house was a nice (but cold) luxury, and has some deck chairs. It is shared with the adjacent holiday home (same owner). The hostess, Florence, was wonderful and very welcoming (she even spoke English, which helped us a lot). Upon arrival she gave us a tour of the house and ground, and immediately arranges a toy kitchen for our daughter to play with. Communication before and during our stay was excellent, and she was quick to respond to our questions.

Erholung pur im Perigord

Wir haben eine tolle Zeit bei Florence im wunderschönen Perigord verbringen dürfen. Florence und ihre Familie sind wunderbare Gastgeber. Sie wohnen ebenfalls auf dem weitläufigen Grundstück, waren niemals aufdringlich, aber bei Fragen und Problemen stets zur Stelle. Auf ihre zahlreichen Ausflugs- und Restaurantempfehlungen kann man sich absolut verlassen. Das Haus ist voller Charme, der Garten sowie die Terrasse wunderschön, hier haben wir viele Stunden verbracht. Zum nächsten Ort sind es keine zehn Minuten mit dem Auto, dort findet alles für den täglichen Bedarf. Ausflugsziele wie Sarlat, das Vézère-Tal oder die Dordogne sind mit dem Auto gut zu erreichen. Wer einen Urlaub in einer ruhigen, ländlichen Umgebung, jedoch mit einer guten Anbindung zu zahlreichen Ausflugszielen sucht, ist hier genau richtig!
