Aillac Farmhouse - Quatre Chambres Villa, Couchages 11

Welcome to Aillac Farmhouse, a charming 17th Century home in the heart of the Limousin-Perigord National Park.

Aillac is a spacious, stone farmhouse that offers comfortable accommodation for up to 11 guests. It has been renovated with great care to maintain its original character with four beautiful bedrooms, including a lovely dual-aspect double with a king-size bed, exposed beams, open fireplace and doors leading to the upper garden - the perfect place to watch early morning wildlife as you look over the pool. 

Set in seven acres of glorious private grounds, enjoy the 10x5m swimming pool and there are plenty of spots to dine al-fresco and make the most of the charcoal barbecue. This is an ideal location for those who enjoy nature in unspoilt surroundings. You can play football in the garden, read in the shade, or sit under the parasols with a drink by the pool. There is a rich variety of flora and fauna in the grounds, including many different types of birds, toads, salamanders, lizards, wild deer and rabbits.

With country walks from your doorstep, a local village with a restaurant is a very short drive away whilst La Coquille and Chalus are just a little further for everyday shopping and services. Both Limoges and Perigueux can be visited for fantastic days out or spend time exploring some of the Périgord Vert's gorgeous market towns such as Nontron, Thiviers and Brantôme.

Aillac Farmhouse really does have everything you need for a relaxing time in the heart of the French countryside.

Location:

Aillac farmhouse is located in a small hamlet of houses just over 2km away from a charming village with a local restaurant. It is found halfway between Limoges and Perigueux, on the edge of the Dordogne, bordering the Limousin. The farmhouse is set within the Parc Naturel du Perigord-Limousin and surrounded by beautiful countryside, ideal for some wonderful walks.

Limoges Airport is located approximately 40 minutes by car whilst Calais is a 6 to 7 hour drive away (and other French ports even nearer).

The towns of La Coquille and Chalus - where Richard the Lionheart was fatally wounded - are nearby with more restaurants and larger supermarkets.

There are several medieval market towns within easy driving distance of the farmhouse. Thiviers (22km) has a traditional farmers' market and Piegut (25km) has a market every Wednesday where you can buy fresh fish, oysters, and local produce. Nontron, the principal town of the Périgord Vert, is just over half an hour away. It has ancient ramparts and a fine square from the 18th century. Also visit the chateau at Jumilhac-le-Grand (15km) to experience spectacular views.

The town of Brantôme (45km), known as 'The Venice of the Perigord Vert', offers a lovely day out - perhaps try canoeing in this picturesque setting, followed by a picnic by the banks of the river.

Aillac Farmhouse is under an hour from the cities of Limoges (46km) and Périgueux (55km). Between them you will find the usual tourist attractions, caves, chateaux, churches, aquariums, war memorials and museums. 

The local produce of the area includes foie gras, truffles, cèpes, confit, and clafoutis. Guests will find cep wild mushrooms growing in the farmhouse garden. Local wines cover all budgets from Bergerac to St. Emilion, and Pineau to Cognac. The vineyards in Bordeaux (190km) and distilleries in Cognac (130km) are well worth a day out.

The prehistoric caves at Les Eyzies (98km) and old towns such as Rocamadour (150km), Bergerac (105km), and Saint-Émilion (150km) are within reasonable distance.

There are plenty of fun days out in the local region, including velo-railing (an unusual experience of biking on train tracks), quad biking, karting, and Acrobois (acrobatics in the woods). There are various swimming lakes in the vicinity of the farmhouse, and plenty of private lakes for fishing.
