Overview
Water-babies take note, the heart of this villa in the Dordogne is the cool blue swimming pool. The shady poolside kitchen and bathroom mean that you can lounge outside all day, soaking in the sun of the French countryside. The games room off the pool will delight kids and adults alike. Inside this clean, renovated converted farmhouse holds 4 bedrooms, a casual eat-in kitchen, and comfortable sitting areas for those lazy holiday evenings.
Though it's tempting, you don't have to stay home! The local area is full of ways to unwind - golf, horseback riding, water sports, and more are all close to your holiday villa. The nearest town is Gardonne (3 km), where you’ll find several bars and restaurants.
A little farther down the river lies the most vibrant city in the area, Bergerac (13 km), also home to the nearest airport. You can learn about the region’s tobacco and wine industries in the museums here, or take a more practical approach at the dozens of wineries lying just outside the city. Afterward you can take in a glitzy Folies Bergère style show at Le Music Hall. In the Dordogne (whatever you choose) your holiday can't go wrong.

Region
Experience the magnificence of the Dordogne River whilst staying close to Bergerac, a historic town with a fine reputation for its wine, gastronomy, history and art. What’s more, Bergerac is easily accessible with its own international airport and it is just over an hour from Bordeaux with TGV connections to Paris.
In the Périgord Pourpre and wonderfully located for reaching the Lot-et-Garonne and Gironde regions of south-western France, Bergerac is classified as a city of art and history. A stroll around Bergerac’s old town will be high on your itinerary – explore medieval cobbled lanes as you admire half-timbered houses, pretty squares as well as inviting shops and restaurants as you follow the fictional footsteps of Cyrano de Bergerac. On a Wednesday and Saturday morning, don’t miss the delightful market near the handsome Notre-Dame de Bergerac.
Sail along the Dordogne from Bergerac on board a traditional gabarre vessel or take a walk by the river’s edge before finding an idyllic spot for a picnic. Cycling enthusiasts will adore the voie verte from the Canal de Lalinde towards Mouleydier, Creysse and Bergerac, partly following the banks of the river. There are of course ample opportunities for canoeing along the Dordogne or hiking through the Périgord Pourpre’s forests, orchards and vineyards - the region’s natural beauty will captivate you with its mild climate and idyllic riverside scenery.
Wine lovers should visit the Château de Monbazillac, just south of Bergerac, or spend time sampling other wine appellations at vineyards and wine châteaux near the likes of Montravel, Pineuilh and Saussignac. Back to the charming town centre, taste a range of excellent wine at Bergerac’s Maison des Vins by the old harbour.
Beyond Bergerac, there are so many pretty places to discover. To the south-east is picture-perfect Issigeac and the bastide town of Beaumont-du-Périgord, both hosting enchanting weekly markets. Market lovers will also adore Sainte-Foy-la-Grande by the banks of the Dordogne, home to one of the Gironde’s most beautiful markets on a Saturday morning.
Kids
Best Suited For: All AgesThis is a wonderful location where families can enjoy quality time together whilst staying in this picturesque part of France with the Dordogne, Gironde and Lot-et-Garonne regions waiting to be explored.
Close to the banks of the Dordogne river, there are of course canoeing and kayaking opportunities nearby and a little beach for paddling in Sainte-Foy-la-Grande. A boat trip on a traditional Gabarre vessel is a lovely way to tour the river through Bergerac.
Near Bergerac you will also find a go-karting track, a waterpark and a charming place called Port Miniature where you can hire little boats on a small lake. Children seeking adventure can try out the tree-top adventure park, AccroZarbres, with a range of activities just north of Bergerac.
If staying in July or August, look out for the spectacular re-enactments of the Battle of Castillon that usually take place on Friday and Saturday evenings in the village of Castillon-la-Bataille, around half an hour away.
As well as long family walks, horse-riding and plenty of cycling routes, the Dordogne also offers a wealth of fairytale châteaux, historic caves and undulating landscapes of woodland, hills and vineyards. Yet for a complete change of scene, head west past Bordeaux and spend time by the sandy beaches and dunes on the Atlantic at Arcachon Bay or perhaps the popular surfing spots around Lacanau on the Médoc peninsula.

We have had a fantastic two weeks here
Thank you so much for such a lovely stay. We have had a fantastic two weeks here.
The house is beautiful & cool & we loved the outdoor area. Being able to spend all day outside was amazing. Our son who is autistic loved the space and the pool. He was able to be himself & made the most of it. He says it's the best holiday ever.Even the grumpy teenager enjoyed himself!
We enjoyed visiting Bergerac a surrounding villages & did some local (ish) walks.
Thank you so much. We hope to return soon.

We had a wonderful time
Thank you very much Jean Francois! We had a wonderful time in your lovely house. It is near to many winenes/ vineyards, we saw kingfishers whilst kayaking and had many delicious cakes and pasties from Le Fournil. However, most of our time was spent enjoying the sunshine and swimming in the pool.

We had a wonderful week here
We had a wonderful week here. We were blessed with perfect weather, some great days for lying around the pool, and a couple of cooler days for excursions. Leclerc was amazing, a far better supermarket than we are used to at home, so we enjoyed some good meals, making the most of the well equipped kitchen. Many thanks Jean – Francois for the wine and cheese ect. That you left for us on our arrival. We hope to return.

Wonderful place to stay
Wonderful place to stay and perfect for our family of 9 (6 adults and 3 children aged 3 and under). Fabulous pool, outside space and friendly host. Handy for catching the train from Gardonne to Bergerac which we did twice.
-
A great trip.
Wonderful quiet location with plenty to do in the region (kayaking, cycling, places to visit etc.). The villa has an excellent swimming pool with a covered outdoor eating area, so we spent all the time at the villa around the pool.
-
Lovely
