We had a wonderful time in this comfortable, well -equipped property. Sitting in the beautiful shade of the trees, dipping in the pool, meals on the terrace⊠couldnât have been nicer.
We loved the area too, found a sandy beach near a lake 5 minutes away for the toddler.
Went to the parc zoologic not far away ..
Really lovely countryside all around.
Merci a Philippe ⊠we had a great time

It is little wonder that this property and owner get such excellent reviews. The house and garden provide everything that one could wish for when looking for a peaceful and relaxing holiday in a location which provides such wonderful views across uninterrupted countryside. The lack of parasols around the swimming pool encourages you to take refuge in the shade of the many trees in the garden and to sit relaxing under them with the many different views over the open countryside was one of the real joys of my holiday. We enjoyed three glorious weeks in late May and early June relaxing and touring the Dordogne, with all the major towns and sights within 30 minutes or so driving. The house and and facilities are first class and excellent and reasonably priced restaurants are close by, with a major Leclerc Supermarket in Souillac. But for us a really big factor to what turned into an exceptional holiday was the presence of the owner, Philippe Baddiel. As mentioned by a previous guest we did not see much of him, he popped in from time to time to check all was well, always courteous and respectful of our privacy. Any issues that we may have had were resolved promptly and with minimum fuss. I believe it is Philippeâs consistent good humour and genuine desire to ensure that his guests have everything they need to have the most enjoyable of holidays which keeps his guests returning year after year, which is hopefully what we will be able to do next year.
Ein sehr freundlicher und hilfsbereiter Gastgeber.
Ein gerĂ€umiges, sympathisch eingerichtetes Haus mit allem,was fĂŒr den Urlaub wichtig ist. Sehr gut ausgestattene KĂŒche. Schöne Terrasse, wunderbarer Blick.
Gutes Restaurant in der NĂ€he.
We simply adored our stay at âAndreuillesâ. We loved the house and especially the garden. We could never tire of the view. The house had everything that we needed and we were very grateful for the air conditioning! Philippe kept the grounds and pool immaculate. The location in the little hamlet of Nadaillac de rouge was peaceful and exactly what we wanted. We will be back next year.
We had a wonderful stay - the house was perfect for us.
Peaceful with lots of outdoor space and a great pool.
The house is well equipped and comfortable with everything you need for a stay away from home.
Philippe was very welcoming and helpful.
We recommend this as a great option for those who want some peace and quiet whilst still being close enough for lots of great places to explore.
We hope to return.
Amazing views from the property, very quiet area with good access to amenities in Souillac. This is a lovely area of France, lots of villages & chateaus nearby to visit and only 10mins to the Dordogne river. The house itself is large and has everything you need, we did have some issues with the outside space during our stay which were a concern due to having young children & babies in our group, we were in regular contact with Phillipe during the start of our stay to try to resolve these. Great property if you are looking for a good base for exploring the area.
Wir hatten eine herrliche Woche in und um das sehr ruhig gelegene Haus. Der Kontakt mit dem Vermieter war sehr nett und unkompliziert und der verbindlich. Bei sommerlichem Wetter konnten wir vor allem mit den Kindern den Garten und Pool gut nutzen, saĂen viel drauĂen. Die AusrĂŒstung der KĂŒche war top, konnten uns sehr gut bekochen und auch drauĂen grillen. EinkĂ€ufe haben wir in Souillac organisiert. Prima Lage fĂŒr verschiedene AusflĂŒge in die Umgebung mit dem Auto (Chateau marquessac, sarlat la caneda, grottes de lacave, Chateau castelnaud) jeweils ca. 30min Fahrzeit entfernt. Wir hatten wiegesagt eine tolle Woche und das Haus (+Poolhaus) boten ausreichend Platz fĂŒr den Mehrgenerationenurlaub! Sehr zu empfehlen, wenn man auch die Ruhe der Natur schĂ€tzt!
It is a large comfortable house on a nice property, with beautiful views, quiet and secluded. Since we did not find the house right away (the GPS coordinates in the directions contained in a link to Google and Apple Maps given by Fewo-Direkt were wrong), the contact person, whose phone number the owner had forwarded to us, kindly picked us up in the neighboring village and showed us the way. We are grateful for that.
We enjoyed the pool and the garden and especially on cooler evenings the large dining and living area. As we often cooked, we appreciated that the kitchen is well equipped.
The house and the remise would benefit from better and thorough cleaning, a replacement of defect lights, the moldy shower curtains and the uncomfortable plastic chairs on the backyard terrace (the photo on the website shows different furniture) . And we had to live with little "roommates"; so one should not feel too disturbed by mice (dead and alive) in the kitchen and the living room and many spider webs and their inhabitants. Two bedrooms in the upper floor are only separated by very thin walls and the wooden floor creaks very loudly. We - a party of six persons - chose the house because we wanted to have four bedrooms. Upon arriving, we were surprised to hear that the remise was not included in the rental fee for six persons (in contrast to what, in our understanding, is said on the website). But it took only a phone call with the owner to clear this issue satisfactorily. Unfortunately, the remise was not cleaned: Used laundry was still in the living room, in the bathroom there were many traces of the previous guests. Even after we asked for the remise to be thoroughly cleaned, it still remained partly dirty. All in all, we enjoyed our stay in this wonderful area of the Dordogne region.
We had an amazing week at this house. The house had everything we needed, and was clean and bright. We walked a short 12 mins each morning to the local hotel Chastrusse for fresh croissants and baguettes. The town of Souillac was a 15 min drive away, and had grocery stores, green grocers, butchers, bakers etc. Philippe was very helpful, answered any questions we had, and made us feel welcome. Communication was easy. We are so glad we found this house to stay, and would come back in a heart beat.
Merci, Philippe!!!
A wonderfully renovated and modernized house set in a large park-like garden with heated swimming pool of good size. Definitely a place for nature lovers. The nearest village is one km away and has a very good restaurant. The location is ideal for sightseeingwith many sites within a 30 min drive. Philippe is an excellent host and keen to give many recommendations for both eating and sightseeing in perfect english. Dog owners are welcome.
Definitly a recommendation.
Our family stayed here in July/August 2018 with 5 adults and 3 children. We hired the separate gite as well and there was plenty of room for all of us. The interior of the house is very well equipped, clean and comfortable. The garden is huge and absolutely beautiful. We also had lots of fun using the pool and table tennis table. The river is only about 10 mins away and due to the hot weather there were lots of beaches to choose from and it was safe for swimming/kayaking. We also explored all the nearby attractions: Rocamadour, Sarlat, Castelnaud, Marqueyssac, La Roque Gageac, Haut Quercy etc etc....Les Jardins d'eau de Carsac is an absolute must for children. It is a bit of a drive for any day trips as the location is quite secluded but the villa is so wonderful that it is most definitely worth it. Thank you Philippe!
We stayed at Andreuilles for the month of June 2018 and it was a real home from home. The house was just as lovely as we expected it to be, is in a fabulous location and suited our needs perfectly. The gardens are huge and were perfect for us - our dog loved having so much space and for four weeks he didn't need to be walked as he got all the exercise he needed running around the garden. The pool was well used and despite other reviewers feeling it is too small we found it to be perfect for us. There is no shade at the pool, nor are there any umbrellas, but this is not a problem as there is plenty of shade available under the numerous trees in the garden. Many of the trees in the garden are walnut trees, but there is also a cherry tree which provided us with an abundance of lovely cherries and also a fig tree which I'm sure will provide lots of figs come August/September. We found the house itself to be well equipped with enough space for everyone to come together, but also to have privacy. The bedrooms are a good size and the beds are very comfortable. One bedroom is ensuite whilst the other two share a shower room and separate loo.The terrace at the back of the house was well used for all meals as was the BBQ. The house is located in a very quiet area with Nadaillac de Rouge about 1km away - there is a chambre d'hotes in the village where we enjoyed an excellent evening meal and which can also supply bread and croissants as there are no shops in the village. Souillac is a 15 minute drive away and has a large Le Clerc supermarket which met all our needs and has excellent fresh produce. Souillac itself is a nice town and worth exploring for a morning. We did not eat out much, but would highly recommend Le Roi Carotte in St Julien de Lampon where we enjoyed a superb lunch. There is lots to do in this area and we barely scratched the surface, but highlights for us included the villages of Rocamadour, Sarlat, Martel and Domme and also the gardens at Manor d'Eyrignac. Our stay at Andreuilles was made even better by the owner Philippe who was so attentive and friendly from the moment we arrived and was always keen to receive feedback and ideas. Philippe was easy to contact if there were any issues (of which there were very few) and we enjoyed our many chats together!! All in all we had just the most wonderful time so thank you Philippe for the use of your beautiful home and we very much hope to visit again in the future.
Das Haus ist wunderschön und sehr gut ausgestattet, die Lage abseits jeden Rummels fĂŒr uns ein wahrer Genuss! Der riesige Garten ermöglicht alles an Spiel, SpaĂ und Sport und unser Hund war auch völlig begeistert ĂŒber diese Freiheit. Die Restaurants in der unmittelbaren Umgebung sind zu FuĂ gut erreichbar (am kleinen See und im Nadilliac) und bieten wunderbare Mittags- bzw. Abend-MenĂŒs zu absolut fairen Preisen. Auch der Pool war wunderschön und wurde ausgiebig genutzt. Absolut empfehlenswert! Sehr nette Betreuung durch den EigentĂŒmer.
Beautiful, well equipped house with stunning views
All communication had been exceptional prior to our visit and finding the property proved very easy, sat nav taking us straight to the door. We were absolutely delighted with the property which was well laid out, beautifully equipped and had really good outside space. I had been a bit worried about the garden not being enclosed as we took three dogs, one of which is old and deaf and the other only 9 months old! However, the roads were super quiet and the property large enough the dogs seemed happy to stay around the house. The open fire was an absolute god send, as the weather was pretty disappointing with our first week being unseasonably cold and wet...the fire was well used and made for some cosy evenings. The beds are probably the most comfy beds we have ever slept in, and all of them were of the same quality with great sheets and plenty of pillows (and duvets!!) The kitchen had everything you could wish for and there was a well located bbq outside too.
In the second week we were joined by my elderly parents and the smaller gite proved perfect for them , although be aware that there are two fairly large steps down into the bathroom which luckily they both managed well but could be a potential cause for concern. This small one bed gite is also really well equipped with its own kitchen and even its own small patio.
The pool was fairly small but heated, although we didnt really utilise it much because of the weather. Luckily, there were plenty of games including table tennis, badminton and darts to keep us entertained.
The property is set in a small village but there are no shops or boulangerie, so the closest supermarkets are Soulliac although you can order your bread and croissants from the local restaurant which is walking distance ( just make sure you ring the day before)
The local restaurants were excellent and offered really good value for money . We can definitely recommend both the Hotel Chastrusse, Roi Carotte and if you fancy a drive try Diablo Fraise!
Phillipe was lovely! Always on hand to sort out any small issues and give his recommendations. We would all heartily recommend this charming, substantial house!
