Overview
A modern oasis, this villa in the Dordogne blends palms by the pool with the charms of rural France. You’ll fall in love with the breezy indoor/outdoor style of this single-storey villa. Have cocktail hour lounging beneath an umbrella, and dine in the sunroom that opens into the garden. Spend your days reading and getting a tan by the private pool; it will feel like a tropical holiday, only it's close at hand in the South of France.
Inside, the décor is modern and casual; this isn’t a stuffy, old-fashioned villa. Indulgent holiday home touches like the Jacuzzi tub and tropical style poolside terraces elevate this property beyond the everyday - you may never want to leave.
This holiday villa is conveniently located near Bergerac (14 km), the heart of the region with an easily accessible airport (the owner of the villa will even pick you up). It’s a fabulous destination for shopping - the medieval streets are filled with interesting boutiques and restaurants. Even better, wine country spreads from the hub of Bergerac, filled with chateaux and vineyards to delight you.

Location
About the surrounding area of Villa PerleThe property is nestled in between the small villages of Ginestet and Maurens, in the department of Dordogne, one of the most charming areas in the Aquitaine region.
The city of Bergerac, with its international airport, is about 14 km away. A visit to the old town standing out for its medieval architecture, narrow streets full of local boutiques and good restaurant, is highly recommended. Here, you will also find the unmissable Maisons de Vins and will have the opportunity to take a tour along the Route de Vins de Bergerac.
The unique riverside medieval and renaissance town of Périgueux, is also easily accessible. A lively market takes place on a daily basis in Place du Coderec. Besided, the area is famous for its amazing golf courses.
Dordogne is a true haven for nature and sport lovers alike offering a wide array of outdoor activities, from horse-back riding, to tennis, mountain-biking, golfing and watersports, not to mention the number of hiking and fishing opportunities.

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.

Everything was perfect!
Everything was perfect! The kindness, availability and discretion of the owners, the cleanliness, the thoughtfulness (water and wine in the fridge), the decoration, the peacefulness. We knew the place and came back for our 1 year wedding anniversary.

The best base for our family holiday
The Villa was perfection. It was the best base for our family holiday. The Villa had an incredible electric pool cover, which made it fantastic for the children. So many amazing seating areas and a fantastic location. The host couldn’t do enough for us and was incredible in every way. Our only issue was that it was advertised with air con, but we were then told on arrival there wasn’t air con. Could have been due to a miscommunication but it was really hot at night and we struggled a bit without air con. However, we would definitely book again as the Villa and Host were incredible. A perfect family luxury base to explore the Dordogne.
Oliver's Travels contacted the owner regarding the air-conditioning, who confirmed that this has since been fixed. -
Perfect!

The ideal villa!
An excellent villa, highly recommended. Great accommodation, with AC a particular plus. Greatly enjoyed by four adults (who welcomed personal space as well as each other's company!). Hosts were thoughtful and charming. Pool was popular too.
