Couvie is a spacious, traditional farmhouse with private pool in a peaceful rural setting, close to the village of Saussignac in an acre of garden surrounded by plum trees and vineyards.

The property has 3 large bedrooms on the ground floor; 1 double with en-suite facilities and 2 double bedrooms next to a large family bathroom with walk in shower and separate bath. Upstairs there is a dormitory style bedroom with a double or two singles with en-suite facilities.
The large farmhouse kitchen has a cooker, fridge and dishwasher and a separate utility room off with a washing machine and drinks fridge. There is a sitting room off the kitchen leading through to the converted barn with open plan dining room and further sitting area.

The private pool is 10m x 5m with roman steps and a large area with pool loungers and deck chairs. Bikes are also available to hire. Bed linen and bathroom towels are provided at Couvie, as are swimming towels. Cleaning and laundry costs on departure are also included.

The village of Saussignac is 1km away. It has 2 restaurants, a community café selling snacks and drinks, post office and tennis court. Saussignac is its own wine appellation with a number of very good wine producers within the village boundary. It has a burgeoning reputation as an “art et vin” destination in a region renowned for its food and wine. Close by (10 minutes drive) is Chateau des Vigiers, a beautifully restored 16th century chateau with a 27 hole golf course, spa and Michelin starred restaurant.

Other local activities include canoeing on the Dordogne river, fishing, go karting and horse riding.

The nearby small town of Gardonne (4kms) has a mini-supermarket, boulangerie, bank, bar and other shops.

The house is close to the larger towns of Bergerac (airport 20 minutes) and Ste Foy La Grande, both of which hold excellent weekly food markets. It is well situated for visiting the beautiful bastide towns and riverside villages in the Dordogne and the Lot. Further up the Dordogne valley are a host of world class prehistoric sites to visit, including the Lascaux cave paintings and the prehistoric dwellings at Les Eyzies. To the west, the city of Bordeaux is a 60 minute train ride from Ste Foy. Lots to see and do (including the Musée des Beaux-Arts and La Cité du Vin) with an abundance of restaurants and shops. The medieval town of Sarlat is at the other end of the same railway line. Saint-Émilion, a UNESCO world heritage site, is a 45 minute drive from the house - a beautiful medieval village surrounded by a multitude of famous wine producers.

There is an information booklet in the house with further details on shopping, markets, restaurants, wine tastings, places of interest and leaflets concerning local attractions
