What a delightful Bastide house, full of charm and lyrical French rustique but well equipped & comfortable for all modern comforts. You will quickly get used to some squeaky floorboards that add to the charm of the cottage. The pool is to die for in the heat of the French sun. An idyllic outlook, quiet and beautiful. A lovely way to while away the hours, drinking wine and eating lots of cheese & bread! The sounds in the evening of the frogs are lovely to hear, as is the sound of the crickets and the town bells during the day. Watch out for the large birds of prey that literally float above your head. (Binoculars on shelf in living room!) We have thoroughly loved our stay here. The only problem being it is just not long enough! Villefranche-du-Perigord is well situated for the Lot & the Dordogne - so much to see & explore if you don’t mind a bit of driving. A beautiful part of France, so full of history. The village has everything you need & the French/locals are very friendly. Thank you to Madame Ballety and the next door neighbour for being so friendly & helpful. The recommendations for the restaurants are excellent but our favourites, and definitely worth a visit, are Le Caillou & La Recreation for a beautiful evening meal. La Petite Auberge is lovely for lunch. Thank you to Michael & Julie for allowing us to stay in your beautiful cottage & we would love to come again.
This quintessential 13th century stone home is the perfect base to explore everything that the wonderful Dordogne region has to offer including fascinating medieval villages, lively food markets, extraordinary chateaux, world class wine, food, a plethora of eating options and so much more. This comfortably appointed home is situated on the edge of the charming village of Villefranche-du-Perigord and only a 2 minute walk from the heart of the village, shops and cafes, yet it''s very quiet with a private backyard and enormous sparkling pool. The kitchen is modern and fully equipped with a sunny terrace overlooking the pool for al-fresco dining. Upstairs the bedrooms are light and bright with views of the surrounding countryside and the upstairs bathroom is shiny and new. You can spend days visiting so many beautiful villages and gardens nearby, each one a treat and retreat to the poolside area and terrace for respite from the glorious warm weather. The perfect spot for families, couples, and friends. I will be back.
We came for a peaceful week after a turbulent 18 months of Covid 19, and we found peace here. We had plans to explore the region but the house and pool were so quiet and relaxing, the weather perfect and all restaurants so close, we didn’t get back in the car from when we arrived to when we left. Beautiful sunsets & clear, starry nights completed our stay. Thank you for a lovely stay.
We had an excellent stay. The house is very comfortable and well equipped. The combination of being right in town, with a lovely view of the countryside to the back is superb. Sitting on the terrasse looking out at that view was a very relaxing and peaceful way the spend an evening. It was great to be able to walk to the boulangerie in the morning. The internet access was an asset. Madame Ballety was very friendly and helpful as well. We would happily come again.
We had a wonderful time in the cozy authenticate house in the lively small vIllage Villefranche du Périgord. The views from the garden where beautiful. And it was so so quiet, except for a rooster calling from far far away. The swimming pool was great!! Though we visited France many times before we never had been to the Dordogne. It was a really pleasant surprise. Lots of quiet roads, small villages, lots of things to do and good places to eat. Guest rating: 5 Stars
What a lovely house and pool and garden. Thank you so much. The weather has been brilliant - apart from one day. Because we were so content there was no need for TV in the evening. We ate out every day - Beynac, Boulogne (twice), Villefranche (twice), Monpazier (brilliant market - even though it rained). We’ve had a very lazy time. Loving the insects - lizards, and black Redstart birds. Madame Ballety very helpful. We bought you a new pool thermometer - a whale named Willy. Poor Daffy Duck just kept sinking - he has a new role as a land thermometer having been found in the filters. No longer up to the job. Thank you. P.S. Loved the salt water pool.
