Visit the storybook Perigord/Dordogne Region in a traditional Stone Farmhouse with a breathtaking valley view. Your Gite is located on a quiet semi-private single lane road, nestled amongst the idyllic countryside, in a hamlet of 18th century stone perigordian farmhouses. The Pool, Jacuzzi, and sundeck are situated in the tranquil orchard, surrounded by grass, trees and flowers. Only 2 km is the dramatic Chateau de Hautefort, a magnificent 17th c. castle famous for its architecture and splendid French and English gardens! Hautefort is a great bicycling and walking area with rolling hillsides and lovely forest and valley views. Your 3 bedroom gite has been fully restored, with a fully equipped kitchen, bathroom, separate WC, living room with big stone fireplace, TV, DVD player, CD player, wireless internet access. Relaxation is easy, either poolside on the sundeck, in the Jacuzzi, or on a hammock; or enjoy a peaceful stroll of the property acreage of fruit and walnut trees. Enjoy the wonderful view while playing: ping-pong, badminton/volleyball, croquet, swinging on the swing set, or in the children’s raised fort with climbing wall. An indoor games room will keep all the family entertained with games, toys, ping pong, and Disney video cassettes. There is a central laundry room with washing machines and dryers which you can use at no extra charge. All services are within walking distance down a country lane: 1 km to boulangerie, grocery store, and bank. 2 km to tabac, post office, and the office of tourism. 2.5km to a swimming & fishing lake. Perigord is THE place to go if you love truffles and foie gras. This little corner of Southwest France is home to the black truffle, one of the most famous and expensive luxury foods of France. (Truffle Markets are open in Winter!) It is also the land of foie gras-- that typical French delicacy made from fattened goose or duck liver, along with other Canard specialty dishes. We have many good restaurants in the area. The wine regions of Bergerac and Bordeaux are only 1 hour to 1.5 hours away.
