Traditional Dordogne Farmhouse with pool in peaceful surroundings

One of only six houses in the hamlet of Le Mas, between the villages of Carlux and Calviac, it consists of a gite to accommodate 4/5 people and another unit kept for the use of the owners themselves. Set in 2.5 acres of garden and woodland. Approx 1.5 miles from the Dordogne river with magnificent views on all sides. A truly delightful spot providing tranquillity in the summer season away from the tourists yet within easy reach of Sarlat (10 miles), Souillac (8 miles) and all the many other attractions of the area. The food and wine of the area is an experience. Foie Gras,truffle and walnuts are all used extensively in the cuisine. A morning at the typical market in Sarlat or Gourdon is a must and there are many excellent restaurants and cafes at which to enjoy a Perigordine menu with local wine from Bergerac,Cahors or neighbouring Bordeaux. Visits to Les Eyzies for some of the best examples of caves and palaeontology. Fortified towns of Domme or Rocamador or La Roque Gageac.

A Place to let the rest of the world pass by

Matey boy, Chelmsford, UK
Review Submitted: August 05, 2008, Date of stay: May, 2008

It depends what you want from a holiday, like many people our lives are quite busy and our hoildays are a time to slow down and relax.

So Le Mas, is situated in a village of about 10 other houses, mainly occupied by the locals. As you come out on the varanda in the mornings, you over look a scene of undulating trees, as the morning mist rises. The gite has is well maintained and comfortable for four, but five at a stretch. To the rear is a beautifully secluded swimming pool, where you can laze or swim depending on your mood. Of course if you have children, that choice may not be yours, as with most children, lazing is not an option.

If you want a physical challenge, the dordogne river is a few minutes away, where there is ample choice of canoe options, alternatively there is a high wire activity centre 15mins away, where British Health and Safety haven't touched, allowing an adventure without cotton wool! I am sure there are other active options, but we have never found the need to explore this route too far. If you like historical towns and villages, there are plenty around to explore if you choose.

There are a few shops in a nearby village, 20mins walk away, or the hypermarket is 15mins in the car.

When the evening comes, depending on your taste and wallet there are plenty of restaurants within a 20min car journey to suit your desires. If you want to abandon the car, there are a few restaurants in the locality which will allow you to walk and attempt to loose the weight you add. Alternatively you can bbq on the varanda, overlooking the same undulating trees, how better to finish the day than a glass of local wine in one hand and a piece of cheese in the other.

So a review is meant to give the pluses and the minuses. Our minus comment could be, that for us, one week is plenty, to refresh our energy cells, two weeks, might make us loose the desire to return. We have always had a car with us, we are not sure whether getting around by public means is a challenge.

We therefore unreservedly recommend Le Mas, for those of you who want a week of relaxation, a little exercise and food and drink to remember. In addition if the owners, Jo and Richard, are around, they will treat you like family, rather than paying guests.
