General Overview
A peaceful stone house in the village beside the Dordogne river, just minutes from Sarlat-la-Canéda — one of the best-preserved medieval towns in France.
It’s a comfortable, well-cared-for home we use ourselves — not a rental — and is fully equipped for relaxed living.
The home is ideal for a couple or small group of up to three.
It is not suitable for infants or small children.
There are two comfortable double bedrooms, a private garden for morning coffee or evening wine, and free parking right at the door.
It's a calm, low-key base that's easy to relax into after a day of exploring — quiet enough to unwind, close enough to everything to never feel remote.

Wendy and her husband were fantastic guests. They left the house immaculate and very easy to communicate with. We wouldn’t hesitate to host them again!
