Luxurious, Restored Farmhouse with stunning Pool, set in magnificent countryside

Not far from Les Eyzies and Sarlat, where the Dordogne River makes a dramatic loop, “Les Volets Bleus” is a very private, beautifully-restored 300 year old Perigordian stone farmhouse that sits on 2 acres of lawned garden, in the heart of the Perigord Noir, with magnificent views of the surrounding countryside. Within 3 minutes of the charming village of Tremolat, our spacious home is elegantly furnished with French country antiques, and situated among fig, peach and walnut trees, with three outstanding veranda’s – two that overlook the large, magnificent pool that receives day-long sunshine. Luxuriously furnished, with all modern conveniences, 'Les Volets Bleus' sleeps 12, with 4 double/queen bedrooms and 2 single/twin bedrooms, all with crisp white linens and sumptuous beds, and is ideal for one large group, or for two or more smaller groups, since the Farmhouse and the converted Barn each have their own fully-equipped kitchens, and dining/living areas.

Details for the villa in Perigord Noir, Dordogne, France

'Les Volets Bleus' offers quality and seclusion for a large family or group of friends wanting to holiday together. With a total of six bedrooms (3 double/queen bedrooms, 1 single room - 2 beds) in the Farmhouse and two bedrooms in the adjoining Converted Barn (1 queen/double, 1 single room - 2 beds), this ancient Perigordian farmhouse offers a total countryside getaway in the heart of the Dordogne. Set amid a garden filled with trees and roses, 'Les Volets Bleus' offers a unique retreat from the business of day-to-day life, while still offering the comfort of modern conveniences, all set in an atmosphere of charm and stylish elegance. The property was recently renovated to an exceptionally high standard with all new furniture, beds, linens and appliances, and filled with antiques from the area. All this was done with a careful eye to modern comforts, while staying true to the charm of the area. Outdoors, there are plenty of sunbeds, tables and chairs and umbrellas, as well as 2 BBQ.

It should also be noted that there is a highly-regarded 'ferme auberge' (farm restaurant) on the property immediately next door (a short walk down a country lane). This restaurant is open for lunch and dinner most days. It is very reasonable and serves delightful local cuisine. Our guests always rave about their experiences at 'Les Truffieres'. There are three additional restaurants in Trémolat,m as well as a casual pizzeria. This is therefore an ideal location for either eating out, or enjoying a summer meal at home. A well-informed, local couple will welcome you and be of service during your stay, when needed.

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.

Other Activities hiking, canoeing
