Beautiful stay at Les Volets Verts

happy in the dordogne London
Review Submitted: August 5, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
We have just returned from the most perfect stay in this lovely house. We enjoyed fabulous weather and the pool was a welcome sanctuary from the heat. The house is well equipped with some lovely personal touches, this feels like a home, not just a holiday let. The location is good, set in peaceful countryside, a 10 minute drive to civilisation.
A visit to nearby Brantome is recomended for it's charm, as is Sarlat a little further afield, and a must is Bordeaux a hour and a half away.
The food and wine of this region is wonderful and we ave all returned home a little rounder than we left.
Thank you to the owners for providing a lovely base from which to explore the gorgeous Dordogne.

A perfect paradise

Review Submitted: June 7, 2009 Date of Stay: May 2009
We loved this holiday so much we really didn't want to come home(and that's saying something as we are normally very hard to please!). The cottage was just adorable, very clean, modern and provided everything we needed for the week. The views at the rear of the property are simply stunning and we spent nearly every evening out on the terrace watching the sunset in our peaceful, idyllic surroundings. The whole atmosphere in this place makes you feel so relaxed it was almost surreal. The pool looked fabulous, very big, clean and gets the sun all day (we didnt go in it as think it was probably too early on in the season) The guest book provided by the hosts came in very handy and we visited a couple of the recommended restaurants and went on the velobikes (great fun and something different to your usual bike ride!). A 'must do' is eating at the restaurant at La Tour Blanche, you get a set menu of about 5 courses and are eating with all the locals whilst they are on their lunch break, its really good value for money, the food is delicious and you get to experience a completely different way of dining out. If you fancy a stroll in the evening you can walk from the cottage along lots of different scenic paths anything from 20 mins to 1 hour. I really cant think of anything negative to say about this place, we have travelled to many different places in the world and have always found fault with something or other, however in terms of providing a lovely, relaxing, good value for money break away, this ticked all of the boxes. I have already reccommended this cottage to family and friends.

Review Submitted: September 21, 2008 Date of Stay: August 2008
This is by far the best holiday house we have stayed in in France. The house is fitted out to an extremely high standard and every need has been thought of, even including a chest full of games. The house is away from the main tourist areas of the Dordogne and all the better for it. We were able to drive to all the main sites,(Brantome, Lascaux, Rocamadour etc) within a couple of hours at most. The pool is brilliant and big enough to swim proper lengths. We loved playing pool on the full size table and the boules were well used. The best thing of all was the stunning view from the terrace. We watched the wild deer in the mornings and evenings and sat out star gazing at night. Toatally wonderful experience.
