Photos and Description of this Issigeac holiday farmhouse Set in its own grounds, well equipped for people who love cooking, up to 8 peopl

Situated in the 'golden triangle', famed for its dessert wines, near Monbazillac and just 18 km south of Bergerac with easy access from the airport and the N21. Just off a country lane at the top of two valleys, this house is equally well placed as a base to tour the 'bastide' towns, the vineyards of the Bergerac, Monbazillac and Bordeaux regions, or the châteaux and prehistoric sites of the Dordogne. Set in private and secluded grounds, surrounded by mature oak trees but with magnificent views of the surrounding countryside, this delightful and deceptively spacious 18th Century stone-built house provides recently refurbished accommodation which is well-planned, well-equipped, and comfortable. The well-equipped farm house kitchen makes cooking the local produce a pleasure, but it is also within easy reach of good country restaurants, and then back for a brandy in front of the open log fire - though not in the heat of summer - when the stone and tiled floors keep the house cool.

This is the 'golden triangle' south of Bergerac, known for the appellation contrôlée of Monbazillac and its dessert wines, and Hugh Ryman's Château de la Jaubertie and Christian Roche's Domaine de l'Ancienne Cure, amongst others. Nearby, the unspoilt picturesque medieval town of Issigeac attracts a lot of painters and its Sunday market is lively and full of fresh local produce. Fénelon wrote the French Prayer Book here, in the summer palace of the Bishop of Sarlat. The house is well placed to visit the surrounding bastides (medieval settlement towns), St Emilion, Bordeaux and Duras (and the château of Montaigne, where he wrote his famous 'essais') to the west and the châteaux of Feyrac and Beynac and the prehistoric sites and cave paintings of Lascaux and Rouffignac to the east. To the north lies the old port town of Bergerac with its 'gabares' and to the south Castillones. Across country you get to Puyguilhem and Castillon la Bataille where the 100 years war began and ended.

Further details for this holiday farmhouse rental in Issigeac, France

The house: Being at the head of two valleys, Au Cedre benefits from gentle breezes during the hot summer months - most welcome when the temperature can rise from 25C to 40C. Apart from a dip in the 16ft x 24ft and 4ft deep pool, there are six bikes of varying sizes on which to explore the locality. To pass away those moments when not otherwise occupied you could try your skills at darts and speed ball, relax with a board game or simply select a book or listen to one of the many music audio tapes and CDs. Unusually, there is also a piano. There is Satellite TV, dvd and video, cd system.

The area: This is the Golden Triangle, the area south of Bergerac bounded by the N21 and the N133, dominated by the appellation controlee of Monbazillac and its chateau and the production of the dessert wines that the locals claim put the 'Or' into 'Perigord'. There are many wine growers locally and further afield who welcome visitors with free wine tastings. The house is between the more tourist-visited areas of the east Dordogne, and the attractions of St.Emilion and Bordaux, accessible but away from the crowds. There are many tourist destinations within easy reach, or you can just enjoy France as she is really lived.

Local amenities: Of particular delight is the medieval village of Issigeac, 5 km from the house, with local shops and good restaurants, and three bakers for 'pain aux raisins' for breakfast. The Sunday morning market is a must for local colour and produce, especially in the autumn, when the 'cepes', 'foie gras', walnuts and honey vie with each other to persuade the most recalcitrant cook to have a go. We enjoy cooking, so the kithen is genuinely well equipped. Within a short car (or taxi) ride there are more restaurants than there will be time to sample. The Housebook at the property provides a wealth of further information and recommendations.

Golf: There is excellent golf at the Chateau de Vigiers nearby.
