We were 6 adults who spent 10 days in this wonderful property. First, Mrs. Saugier was extremely responsive to all our questions while preparing for the trip. She always answered our email messages very promptly with lots of useful information. Second, once in the house, Myriam made sure that we were welcomed and showed us around. The house is extremely well equipped, from kitchen utensils, to blankets, sheets, and also a booklet/guest book of very well written instructions, in English as well as French. There are several places outside the house (in the yard) where one can sit and enjoy conversations regardless of the time of the day (if you want to be in the shade). The swimming pool is great too. We took daily trips to many different cities and villages, mainly for sightseeing. Mrs. Saugier' guest book has many useful hints on what to visit and where to shop and also eat.
In summary, we very highly recommend this place.
What a delightful house, owned by a delightful lady. We have been renting in the Dordogne area for over 10 yrs and this property was probably the best we have ever found.Fabienne had curated the most detailed pre-visit pack we had ever come across. Her attention to detail was far beyond what we had encountered in previous holidays.We arrived during a heatwave which was difficult but tolerable (although that would have occurred wherever had stayed). Once it had calmed down it was glorious. Great pool, great views, great holiday. Thank you!
Fantastisch mooi en goed geoutilleerd vakantiehuis met grote keuken die van alle keukenapparatuur en keukengerei is voorzien. Buiten, rondom het huis mooie terrassen met voldoende en goed meubilair. Ook het zwembad is voorzien van alle gemakken. Alles is en wordt goed onderhouden. Vriendelijk welkom door host.
This beautiful home was as described. The owner was so very helpful as was the onsite manager. The living quarters were well appointed and very comfortable. The grounds were relaxing and well maintained. This is a 10 out of 10 and we will visit again.
We hebben twee heerlijke weken gehad. We waren met 4 volwassenen en 2 kinderen. Fabienne heeft alles tot in de puntjes verzorgd. De locatie is een perfecte uitvalsbasis voor de meest leuke dagtochtjes. De tuin is werkelijk adembenemend mooi. Wat een uitzicht, wat een privacy! Wij komen zeker terug
It is difficult to find new words to add to previous glowing reports in praise of this beautiful house and its stunning grounds. The accommodation was perfect for our party of six, with the lower ground floor bedrooms providing extra privacy and separate access. Our every need was catered for and every facility provided for a fabulous holiday in a superb setting. Sincerest thanks from us all to our host Fabienne, who went over and above our expectations. Truly appreciated.
Beautiful, clean and super well equipped villa. Everything you need and more. Perfect for 2 families (1 upstairs and downstairs so you can all have your own space).
Beautiful views and the pool is great!
Fantastic property with everything needed to be comfortable. Many places with chairs, tables, umbrellas, to sit in sun or shade on different terraces, beautiful view from the rear terrace over the pool and fields and woodland as far as the eye can see.
Quiet and peaceful, hot air balloons floating past, wonderful stars as no light pollution if conditions are good, we even saw the Milky Way.
Plenty of bathrooms for all, the air conditioning in the tower rooms were appreciated as it got to 40 degrees during the stay.
Fabienne was quick to communicate and the house manual is packed with information. Fully recommend â le Petit Parisâ restaurant in Daglan but do book. Great food and lovely atmosphere.
All in all a very enjoyable holiday we would recommend to anyone visiting the Dordogne. Even the teenagers had plenty to do.
Thank you Fabienne
The House - outstandingly beautiful, traditional, practical, well equipped, spacious, and the kitchen of my dreams! The extensive garden is extremely private with a large private pool and lots of loungers. There is a large terrace, perfect for long slow meals.
The Location - perfect! The immediate area is so quiet and relaxing. There is no traffic, the only sounds are the birds. The view is one of soaring buzzards, trees and hot air balloons. Although very rural, the property sits within close proximity to many beautiful towns and sites. In fact, within a 20 min radius, by car, you can visit Domme, Cenac, Fort de Roque, Daglan, Sarlat, Josepine Baker Chateux, etc.
Fabienne (the owner) - unfortunately we didn't meet Fabienne this time but she is incredibly kind, warm and fair. Obviously a lady of good taste and class, hopefully I can cook with her some day in that fantastic kitchen!
Myriam (the manager) - oh my word, what a woman! So kind, thoughtful, attentive and accommodating. Full of local knowledge and recommendations, has a beautiful welcoming smile and nothing is too much trouble.
Thank you to both Fabienne and Myriam for a wonderful property for our family holiday.
Cannot fault anything about the house and garden! Our two week stay was pure heaven. Nothing to listen to otherthan the birds plus the stunning views from the garden were wonderful. We had hot air balloons fly by on the warm dry nights. Lots of buzzards, kites, eagles etc circling on the thermals above the house. Redstarts, blackbirds etc vising the garden.
The heated pool was divine with so many sun loungers it was easy to lounge hop to the next sunny spot.
So many outside areas to sit and eat/drink or just enjoy the sounds of the crickets.
A superbly stocked kitchen meant we had every kitchen gadget we could possible want. I was very happy to see a large range products were provided from laundry liquid to spf50 sunscreen to an array of first aid items too.
Fabulous lounge area and huge comfy sofas. We opted for the double bed room upstairs with the shower room being inside the bell tower. Bed was perfect. We did use the ac during week two as the temperatures reached high twenties upstairs was very toasty.
Wifi to start with was a challenge as the information in the house manual wasnt too clear however we got there in the end. I did leave a post it note in the manual showing the network and code.
Comms with Fabienne cannot be faulted - she very quickly responded to emails.
A huge driveway at the front for at least 5 cars. Plus theres the shaded lane over the wall to park too.
We loved this place and will return.
The location is very fine and in good condition.Garden and pool are perfect. There could be a little more cleaning...
The contact with the owner was very good!
Weâve just spent a lovely week at this house. Had everything we needed for our family of 2 adults and 2 children age 9 and 10. The location is perfect. House and garden are very private not overlooked with beautiful views. Nearest 2 villages with bakeries, shops and restaurants are 5 and 8 minute drives away. La roque-gageac is just 15 minutes drive away where we spent a great day hiring kayaks on the river. Thereâs lots to do in the area.
Ideal property for large family group or 2 families or family with older teenagers as the lower ground is like a suite of bedrooms as is the top floor so everyone can have a bit of space. Pool is lovely. Area is beautiful - everything is in very easy reach of the property. Very friendly, helpful house manager who speaks excellent English. Would highly recommend.
