Description
In a pretty hamlet in the hills above the historic village of Urval is Le Chemin Secret, a delightful stone house in a lovely countryside setting, ideal for exploring the idyllic villages and towns of the Dordogne.
The house is typically Perigourdine in style with its charming steep roof and it has been beautifully restored into a comfortable and spacious holiday home. Traditional features remain such as open fire-places in the living spaces, terracotta flooring and exposed stone walls allowing guests to soak up the characterful ambience throughout. The three pretty bedrooms upstairs are bright and welcoming and the brand new shower room will appeal to all ages.
It’s a lovely family home with children’s games and books and a great garden for kicking a ball about or a game of badminton. There are plenty of shady spots to read a book or enjoy a long lunch whilst sun worshippers will appreciate the stone terrace around the glistening swimming pool. It’s such a picturesque setting with the colourful gardens surrounding the charming house, a true gem of the Dordogne.
This is a great location in the Dordogne, an area full of pretty medieval villages, fine wines, truffles, vibrant local markets, canoeing on the rivers and unspoilt views of stunning countryside. The tiny village of Urval is full of history and charm and you only have to drive four kilometres to the slightly larger but quiet village of Siorac on the Dordogne river with its restaurants, shops, pretty golden stone buildings and bustling market on a Tuesday.
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 beautiful city of Bergerac with its unmissable Maisons de Vins.
This is a magical house in the heart of the glorious Dordogne where you are surrounded by Perigourdine style and charm both at home and your nearby surroundings. /n Security deposit /n €600 charged to the clients' credit card prior to arrival. /n Heating costs included? /n Yes.
