Photos and Description of the Brantome holiday cottage All year self-catering rental situated 700 metres from centre of Brantome

Self-catering well appointed gite available for rental throughout the year. Situated in the romantic town of Brantome known as the 'Venice of Perigord'. It is liberally appointed with cafes and highly recommended restaurants including the Moulin de l'Abbaye and nearby Moulin du Roc reported to be the finest restaurant in the Dordorgne. The 11th Century Abbey dominates the town and overlooks the River Dronne. The area has many attractions to offer including the nearby village of Villars boasting the Chateau de Puyguilhem, the Abbaye de Boschaud along with the prehistoric caves known as the Grotte de Villars. Many Chateaux can be found around Brantome, a visit to Google earth highlights the delights of this area of France. Brantome holds its own street market on Fridays offering locals cheeses, wines etc and the largest market in the Dordogne can be found on Wednesdays at Piegut Pluviers a 35 minute drive away. A day trip to the vineyards of Bordeaux is well worth the effort.

Brantome the gate of the Perigord Limosin Natural Regional Park, one of the most beautiful sites in France. Brantome, known as the Venice of the Perigord is an island encircled by a loop of the River Dronne linked to the ouside world by five bridges. Its gabled bell tower, rising from the rock is held to be the oldest and one of the finest in France. The original Benedictine abbey was founded in 769 by Charlemagne. In the botanical gardens on the banks of the Dronne are the monks' exquisite little stone-carved rest-houses. There's always plenty going on in Brantome, from its annual vintage car rally and water jousting tournaments to the winter truffle market and farmers' markets on Fridays. Numerous Chateaux, Monolithic, Romanesque and lighted Roman churches are plentiful within the area along with caves, gardens and natural sites. Laying along a ley-line, Brantome is truly a romantic restful enchanting village where, perhaps when you ask - all your dreams will come true!

Reviews for this holiday cottage rental in Brantome, France

Brantome holiday cottage rental rating 55/5
Superb Holiday
Mike & Teresa  Chorley, Lancashire
Review Submitted: May 17, 2009 Date of Stay: May 2009
The location of the gite is fantastic, set in a quiet rural location, but only a 10 minute walk from the restaurants and sights of Brantome. The gite is well maintained, spotless and extremely easy to live & relax in with everything necessary there and the large pool is great. Julia & Richard have a lovely discreet touch and were always available when we needed advice on where to go or eat. The area has lots of places to visit including Bourdeilles & Perigueux. All in all a superb place to stay, relax and explore the area.

Exceptional level of customer service

Review Submitted: June 26, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009
Richard and Julia could not have been more helpful and even managed to squeeze in a 5th person into the Gite and were very accommodating to my demands.
I would recommend this gite as an excellent venue for a relaxing holiday with a high standard of accommodation.
If you are going to Brantome make sure that you get Richard to take you canoeing on the Dronne. He is an expert!

Beautiful Brantome gite
Chom  Edinburgh
Review Submitted: June 2, 2009 Date of Stay: May 2009
Right from the start, the owners, Richard and Julia, were incredibly kind, helpful and welcoming. The gite is beautifully decorated, well-equipped and comfortable, with the sort of thoughtful little extras - like tea, coffee, milk and juice already waiting for us - that make any holiday so much more easy and pleasant.
The locality is very pretty and the surrounding land just begs you to go for long walks - if you can tear yourself away from the stunning swimming pool.
Julia and Richard are honest about warning visitors that the pool is very deep, but with constant supervision - which any parent would do anyway - my three-year-old (and I) had a wonderful time in the shallows. It's unusual to find such a stylish place which is also child-friendly.
The only problem we had was failing to get a connection to the gite's wi-fi. Richard and Julia bent over backwards to help us - even phoning previous guests who has used it, for advice - but to no avail. Still, for back-up, there is an internet cafe in Brantome.
We've stayed in a lot of gites, but this one gets 5 stars from us and we only wish we'd discovered it earlier. If you're happy staying somewhere, it's often high praise to say it felt like home, but this was much better - it's like living in the home you wish you had!

Charming place to stay
AngelaR  London
Review Submitted: October 10, 2008 Date of Stay: October 2008
I spent a week in the gite working on a marketing strategy, and found it quiet, restful and quite charming! The nearest town, Brantome is only a 15 minute walk away, and one of the loveliest places in France. Strolling down there through the fields to pick up a pain de campagne and chat to the locals was one of the highlights of my stay. The owners of the gite, Richard and Julia, were charming and gracious hosts, discreet but always available on request with an extra bottle of red wine, or some firewood for the open fire. I would highly recommend this gite, a beautiful place to stay in one of the loveliest parts of France! Bon appetit!

(English Version follws below)

Wir waren zwei Wochen zu Gast bei Julia und Richard und fühlten uns wie in einem Grand Hotel. Die beiden verwöhnten uns nach allen Regeln der Kunst und es mangelte an nichts. Das Ferienhaus ist in einem sehr guten Zustand und mit allem erdenklichen Komfort ausgestattet. Es liegt ruhig im Norden von Brantôme und man kann den Ort zu Fuß in 20 Minuten erreichen. Gleich hinter dem Grundstück verlaufen zwei Wanderwege (Karten sind beim Fremdenverkehrsamt erhältlich), die einem die Reize der Landschaft und der näheren Umgebung aufzeigen. Alles in allem war es ein sehr erholsamer Urlaub und wir können es mit gutem Gewissen empfehlen!

We were two weeks visiting Julia and Richard, and we felt like in a Grand Hotel. The two spoiled us with all the art and are lacking in nothing. That Cottage is in very good condition and with all imaginable comfort. It is located in the north of Brantôme and you can place on foot in 20 minutes. Same behind the site are two hiking trails (maps are available at the Tourist Office) which the charms of the landscape and its surroundings show. All in all it was a very relaxing holiday and we can in good conscience recommend!
