Description
Just north of the Dordogne river, overlooking open countryside from the glorious swimming pool, is the charming Maison Harmonie, a sensitively restored old stone house. With the water’s edge just ten minutes away and beautiful Bergerac also short drive, this is the perfect place for guests to relax yet enjoy exploring this wonderful region.
Step in to a home full of character with exposed stonework, marble and pisé stairs, wooden beams, a beautifully restored fireplace in the living area and chestnut parquet flooring in the bedrooms. Each of the pretty four bedrooms, located across two wings of the house, has its own shower room and other modern amenities include an iPod dock, Blu-ray DVD and an Xbox 360. This is a well-equipped house where guests can appreciate the rustic and traditional ambience in great comfort.
Step outside in the summer to the delightful scents of climbing roses and swathes of lavender. You can find your own corner in the charming gardens to read with a book, enjoy your morning coffee or relax with a glass of local wine amongst the statues or on the wonderful terraces. Wander down to the dazzling swimming pool where you can soak up the sun or meet with family and friends for long lunches or summery evening meals as the sun sets for the day.
In just over ten minutes by car you can be sampling the delights at the fantastic weekly market in Lalinde, a charming town on the river with some excellent restaurants and pretty shops, or head east to beautiful Tremolat where you can dine in a renowned Michelin starred restaurant or try out some watersports on the Dordogne.
Other magical trips out should include sampling the delicious black truffle in the city of Périgueux, heading north over the river to the exquisite town of Sarlat or simply exploring some of France’s Plus Beaux Villages along the Dordogne such as La Roque Gageac, Beynac and Castelnaud-la-Chapelle, all within easy reach. Not forgetting the nearby beautiful city of Bergerac, only 23km away, with its unmissable Maisons de Vins.
