Description
This characterful 18th century Périgourdine style home is both historic and contemporary, close to the Dordogne river and not far from the market towns of Saint Cyprien and Le Bugue.
The sensitive renovations at Maison Medievale have created a fascinating combination of the traditional and modern. The sleek kitchen happily shares space with the rustic stone walled dining area and the new wooden staircase curves upwards to the promise of more comfort and charm in the upstairs bedrooms with their large shower room, original wooden beams and pretty turreted windows.
More beams and a stone fireplace welcome you into the living area - it will be hard to decide where to take your meals when the interior so easily reveals the pleasures of the outdoors, such as the covered dining area and summer kitchen at the rear of the house and the wide porticoed terrace running alongside the front. Outside lighting guarantees a romantic atmosphere for evening al fresco dining in the spacious gardens or by the pool.
The Dordogne is a very special place to visit, characterised by its fairy tale châteaux, exquisite medieval villages, prehistoric cave drawings as well as the wonders of its two rivers. It is synonymous with some of the most acclaimed food and wine in France - black truffles, foie gras, goat’s cheese and walnuts are on the menu here. For the adventurous there is a range of outdoor activities such as canoeing, riding, tennis, hot air ballooning, hiking, mountain-biking, golfing and fishing.
There are some lovely places nearby - call into medieval Belvès “the town of seven bell towers”, designated as one of the most beautiful villages in France or to peaceful Saint-Chamassy with its many castles and hiking trails in deep forests. Limeuil is yet another exquisite cobble stoned village on the confluence of the Dordogne and Vézère rivers with its own swimming beach.
Take a day trip to one of the famous towns and cities of Le Périgord Noir - visit the famous Maison de Vins in Bergerac, the Vesunna Museum in Périgueux or be astounded by the medieval marvels of Monpazier. /n Security deposit /n €850 charged to client’s credit card before arrival and refunded two weeks after departure, subject to full inspection. /n Arrival time /n 4.00 p.m. /n Departure time /n 10.00 a.m. /n Minimum stay /n 7 nights.
