The property is located in the heart of the Dordogne Valley just 5km from the medieval town of Sarlat.
The surrounding area is punctuated by picture-postcard villages ( e.g. Domme, La Roque Gageac, St. Geniès) with golden-ochre stone houses and flower-festooned squares. Chateaux, ranging from fairytale like at Les Milandes, and Losse ) to flambuoyant ( like Hautfort) to medieval fortifications (like Beynac and Castlenaud), rival those of the Loire Valley.
Where prehistory is concerned, the Dordogne and Vézère valleys are in a league of their own. Exceptional sites at Lascaux, known as the 'Sistine chapel of prehistory' because of its impressive paintings, and and at Les Eyzies, not to be missed.!
Sarlat is regarded as the jewel in the crown of the Dordogne Valley region, with a wealth of architecture, culture, street entertainment and colourful Saturday market. Enjoy local gastronomic delights like foie gras and truffles complimented by Bergerac or Cahors wine.
