Overview

Recommended Pool Wellness Walk to Village Not for little ones Romantic

Please note that Petite Maison only accepts guests 18 years and above.

Set in the idyllic landscapes of the Perigord Vert in northern Dordogne, Petite Maison is a delightful home with glorious gardens and a private swimming pool, just a short stroll from a pretty village and lake.

Built with local Perigordian stone, keeping the rustic interiors cool in the height of the summer, this charming house has been beautifully renovated by its caring owners who have created a wonderful retreat for relaxing and unwinding.  The open-plan living and kitchen space downstairs features exposed stone walls, characterful wood beams and an eclectic mix of vintage and modern furnishings whilst on the first floor there are two pretty double bedrooms with high-end king-size beds and Egyptian cotton bed linen.

Step outside to the glorious gardens full of trees and flowers where you can help yourself to fruit and herbs in the summer or head down to the magnificent swimming pool and relax by the terrace. In the evenings you can sit by candlelight outside, drinking local wine whilst listening to the gentle sound of owls under the clear starry sky or during cooler months head inside to watch DVDs, listen to music or play board games that the owners have thoughtfully provided. 

You can wander down to the sweet local village where you’ll find a few shops including a boulangerie and épicerie or walk down to the nearby lake with a picnic to follow the 9km circular route discovering the wonderful flora and fauna around you. The lovely owners, who live on site, can give you a wealth of information about the local area including suggested itineraries in order to make the most of this captivating part of northern Dordogne.

In the Perigord Vert region you can explore the green cacophony of meadows, forests, rolling hills and rivers. Archetypal villages and towns are yours to discover such as beautiful Brantôme on the River Drone, Saint-Jean-de-Côle, one of France’s Plus Beaux Villages and Thiviers, where you can sample some foie gras at the Saturday morning market. Indeed, this region has an excellent reputation for its fine cuisine including walnuts, cheeses and some of the best black truffles in the world. Furthermore, there are no less than seven Michelin starred restaurants within a 30 to 60-minute drive!

Take the train from the local town to the historic cities of Limoges and Perigueux or hire bikes to discover the nearby trails, including the enchanting Velorail, a 22km route along old railroad track through tunnels and over viaducts.  If you are dreaming of a balloon ride across the Dordogne then this is certainly possible with a great place near Hautefort, just under an hour.

Petite Maison is located in the Perigord Vert region of northern Dordogne, named because of the green cacophony of meadows, forests, rolling hills and rivers.

The house is situated a short stroll from a traditional village with a delightful square. At night in your garden you can hear the sounds of owls and see the stars in the clear skies.

In the local village (500m) you will find a butcher, boulangerie/patisserie, local eco shop, épicerie and coffee shop, village pub (drinks only), hairdresser, post office, Tuesday morning market and a lovely church. There is a number of restaurants within a short drive or travel slightly further afield to dine at one of the seven Michelin starred restaurants within 30 to 60 minutes by car.

There is also a man-made lake within walking distance with a lovely 9km circular trail where you can spot birds and discover the local flora and fauna. The owners can provide a picnic hamper/cool box for you to fill and take with you.

The owners have created a special file with a wealth of information about the local area and suggested itineraries. They will also provide you with leaflets about local events from the local tourist office and any relevant money off vouchers for nearby places to visit.

The nearest town is La Coquille (7km) where you will find further facilities such as a cash point, service station and a supermarket. From here you can take the train to the beautiful and historical cities of Limoges (54km) or Perigueux (55km), both about 40 minutes away by train.

This region is wonderful for food lovers with Foie Gras and some of the world’s best black truffles a local speciality as well as strawberries and some amazing Dordogne cheeses. Market days are a great way to discover some of the local foods and the owners will be able to advise you on the best ones to visit each day. In the winter you will also find some lovely Christmas fairs taking place in local towns whilst in the summer night markets are especially atmospheric where you can choose your meal at one of the stalls and dine al-fresco. The summer night markets usually take place in July and August in Champagnac de Belair (27km), Perigueux (55km), Nontron (23km) and Brantôme (35km).

Other beautiful local places to discover include Saint-Jean-de-Côle (22km) one of France’s Plus Beaux. Villages on the banks of the River Côle and Brantôme (35km) on the River Drone where you can hire canoes, go on a boat ride or take leisurely riverside strolls after exploring the lovely town.

Head to Thiviers (17km) to try some of their Foie Gras, walnuts and truffles (especially at the Saturday market) or head a little further south to Corgnac-sur-l'Isle to canoe in beautiful surroundings. Castle lovers don’t miss the beautiful Château de Jumilhac (19km) just a short drive away or Château de Hautefort (55km) a little further south.

This region is wonderful for hikers and cyclists (the owners have some bikes they can hire out) with many routes or marked trails to follow. Cyclists may especially like the Velorail, a 22 km rail-bike along old railroad track over bridges, viaducts, through tunnels and former train stations.

There are also horse-riding opportunities nearby in Dournazac (10km), many places to fish with a licence (which can be bought locally) and some wonderful spots to hire canoes. Golf-lovers have a great choice of 9 courses to choose from within an hour and the owners have two sets of golf clubs they can hire out. 

If you are dreaming of a balloon ride across the Dordogne then this is certainly possible with a great base near Hautefort (54km) in under an hour.

Region

The pace of life in the Dordogne is languid, laid back and positively infectious. Relax in bucolic beauty as you drift along the Dordogne River, or wander among the forests and hillside of the Périgord Natural Park.

The foodie scene too, is a relaxed affair. Take your time over your lazy lunches of local duck, black truffles and goats cheese. If you’re feeling energetic, you can even hunt for them yourself. The wine here is second to none, with infamous grapes like Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Chenin Blanc all having a huge presence here.

The Dordogne is also brimming with history. Castles and chateaux are scattered throughout the region, among the enchanting medieval villages. History of an altogether more ancient sort can also be explored in the incredible prehistoric cave drawings of Lascaux and Grotte de Rouffignac.

    on 19/08/2023

    We had the most wonderful stay at Petite Maison. The hosts were super friendly and helpful. They went above and beyond for us, even kindly gifting us some champagne for a special occasion. They were discrete yet willing to help with any questions that we might have.

    The gîte is beautiful, finished to a very high standard and so well equipped, more so than any other rental we have been to. It has the most stunning pool area which is lovely and peaceful and totally private. We would not hesitate to recommend this place to anybody and could happily spend our holidays here each year. A truly memorable holiday. Thank you!

  • Fabulous

    on 12/08/2023

    We have had a lovely week here. The gite, garden and pool were fabulous. The area is great for bike rides and certainly did quite a few miles to make up for the food we have enjoyed. We loved the suggestions of places to visit, going to have to return as we still have a few places we didn't make it to. Many thanks.

  • Wonderful!

    A lovely, private & quiet gite which we have truly appreciated. Yet, near enough to the village to walk for a coffee, bread and the Tuesday market. The pool was beautiful and for our sole use. The area is truly interesting, abundant chateaux, lovely towns such as Brantome, abundant walks. Our hosts are a font of knowledge and a wonderful & warm couple. Thank you for everything!

  • Special & memorable break

    on 03/09/2022

    Petite Maison has been just the retreat we all needed - post lockdown. We'll miss our daily morning amble to the boulangerie through the pretty village. The fresh bread and coffee in this serene location will bring us back. We've also enjoyed just chilling around the pool, to the sound of those elusive owls. We've loved our various excursions to the points of interest that are just a short drive from this quiet village. Thank you to the owners who have been warm, knowledgeable and very welcoming. Thank you for a special and memorable break.

    An amazing place to stay, clean, tidy, well-designed and laid out, with quality furnishings throughout. The pool and garden area are fantastic, with lots of places to sit and enjoy the sun. The good-sized pool is cleaned every morning, many thanks. The village is only a 6-minute walk and has a fantastic quality butcher, a good bakery and an organic veg etc shop. There is also a bar and small grocers. We had a lovely, relaxing week there, a standard far above most gîtes in the area. Lots of places to visit locally, all in the file at the gîte. Grateful thanks.

    This is an enchanting place we have had a wonderful time. The gite is so beautifully decorated and elegantly comfortable. The pool is a real bonus-used it every day. Thank you both!

  • Perfect place for relaxation

    on 01/08/2019

    We cannot thank the owners enough for such a wonderful break - the gite is beautiful and the garden is perfect for rest and relaxation, including the great pool! The owners are so helpful and gave us excellent recommendations for places to visit and eat, and there’s plenty to see in the local area. The village itself is a few minutes walk away and has an excellent bakery and butchers. There’s also an on-site fashion museum run by the owners, which is a great insight into fashion and social history - Vanessa is incredibly knowledgable and gives a brilliant talk. Definitely worth a visit. Overall, the best stay we could ask for.
