Lovely relaxing stay
Review Submitted: August 1, 2009
Date of Stay: July 2009
We have just returned home after spending a lovely week as guests of Peter and Loren in the larger of their two gites.
There were 4 adults and 2 children in our party and we were very comfortable in the spacious,clean and well appointed accommodation.
The property is situated in the Dordogne valley between Souliac and Sarlat, in a lovely hamlet just below the wooded hills, 1/2 mile from the quaint little village of Calviac. The views from the lounge and main bedroom are beautiful,looking over the village towards the River Dordogne and the hills beyond.
The situation is very quiet yet handy to get to the sites of the area. There is a small general store in the village selling local wine for € 1 a litre, just provide your own bottle. Its coissants and bread in the morning are also outstanding.
The kitchen is large with a hob, oven, fridge freezer and washing machine, although it lacked a dishwasher.
The lounge has a large dining table, CD radio, Sky TV and DVD player.
The 3 bedrooms are lovely and the bathroom is modern with a good pressured shower.
There is a smaller gite next to ours and we were lucky to have a lovely couple staying there. Both gites share the pool which is very clean and a decent size. We were blessed with hot sunny weather for most of the week and made good use of the pool. Beyond the pool area is a field complete with a badminton net. Beside the pool is a box filled with pool equipment, boules, and badminton racquets etc.
Peter and Loren are a lovely couple and could not have been more friendly and helpful. They live in a house beside the gites and take an obvious pride in looking after their guests. On our last evening we all got together for a barbeque, which was a great way to end our stay.
We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would love to return on our next visit to the Dordogne.
