Philosophy of the owners, Bill & Janice.:
We are the proud owners of “Les Volets Bleus” & purchased and upgraded/renovated the property in June 2005. Although our home is in California, we have travelled a great deal in Western Europe & have rented many properties – some great, and some less than spectacular! We always appreciated cleanliness, comfort, good beds, furniture you could actually sit on (!), great linens & towels, appliances that really worked, and nice big wine glasses! After buying our dream home, our philosophy hasn’t changed - & we have upgraded the standard of the house to meet or exceed the best we’ve seen. Basically, we have designed it to be the way we’d like it if we arrived tired and hungry from across the world. We appreciate the chance that you take when you book on-line and hope that what you see is really what you’ll be getting! We guarantee that you will not be disappointed - in fact, many of our guests feel that the reality of the house exceeds their expectations.
Welcoming caretakers :
We have excellent local caretakers who live on the next-door property. They will meet you personally and be available to address all your needs while your stay at our home. They are very well-versed in the house and the local area, and have been very popular with our guests. We also provide you with very detailed maps and directions for your arrival, as well as information on the area so that you know exactly where to find everything you might need: such as days and towns for the best local markets, and inside tips and suggestions from previous guests. We want you to have the best possible experience in this wonderful area of the Dordogne that offers so much in the way of scenery, markets, activities, food adventures, and wonderfully warm people.
