Overview
With charming views over the Dordogne Valley, Black and White House is a beautiful breakaway for the whole family to enjoy. Sleeping 10 guests, the villa is a modern building, blending peacefully into the landscape and nestled within the trees.
On the first floor, a large and bright living area centres the villa, with plenty of room for the whole family to enjoy. In the lounge there is a fixed television with a DVD player. The villa also has a moveable TV that can be moved into the bedrooms. Tourist guides are on hand to offer more information on the local area, and board games are on offer for everyone to gather and spend quality together in the evenings.
The kitchen has a modern finish, with black countertops and white cupboards. The kitchen is separated from the living room with a glass wall, making the family space feel even bigger. Large windows frame the trees outside, bringing the nature into your luxurious hideaway. The cupboards are stocked with basics ingredients to get you started, including tea, coffee, tea, sugar, oil, salt and pepper. The kitchen is also equipped with all essentials including the cooker, dishwasher, crockery, toaster, kettle, and electric coffee machine. Glass windows on every side offers panoramic views of the valley as you enjoy preparing meals together with fresh, local produce.
From the living room, open large glass patio doors and step out onto a patio with a dining table set out. A parasol is on hand to provide shade while you dine underneath a canopy of trees.
Back inside, the villa has four bedrooms spread out across the two floors. Two bedrooms have en-suite bathrooms with walk-in showers or a bathtub with a shower. Each bedroom is spacious, with plenty of storage for everyone to settle into with homely yet modern décor. The third and fourth bedrooms share a family bathroom off the main corridor. The fourth bedroom has two sets of bunk beds, perfect for families with young children sharing. Kids will love sleeping all in the same room, allowing them to have a sleepover every night! Even more so, with all the activities surrounding the villa, it won’t take them long to fall asleep!
Outside the villa, you are surrounded by a gorgeous landscape. A shaded terrace provides a peaceful and cooling corner off the main grounds. The villa also has a barbecue, perfect for chilled evenings in the gardens. Walking down the steps to the bottom of the garden, you'll find a heated private pool, that you can enjoy day or night. Decking runs around the pool with sun loungers and parasols gathered, ready for you to dry off after a refreshing swim.
The facilities within the villa also include laundry facilities, an iron and ironing board, a hairdryer and a highchair and baby cot for the newest members of the family. Black and White House is ready for you to unpack and enjoy your family holiday straight away!
What you should know…
- The pool is at the bottom of the garden down a small slope, so may be difficult for some to access.
- For the same reason, make sure to supervise young children around the pool area. However, the whole pool area is indeed fenced in and accessed through a secure gate.

Location
About the surrounding area of Black and White HouseBlack and White House lies deep in the heart of France, looking out over the Dordogne valley. Dordogne is also referred to as Périgord Noir, filled with scenic landscape known for its abundance of prehistoric cave dwellings & medieval towns. Famous for the black truffles found on the woodland floor, you will be filling your days exploring the history and beauty of the area. Taste the local cuisine at the local restaurants and cafes or pick up fresh produce and cook your meals at home, watching the sunset as you eat.
The Dordogne River is a great way to bring the whole family together. Enjoy the river from its banks, paddling or swimming in the cooling waters. Alternatively, experience more of the scenic river and take a kayaking tour, exploring the villages, towns and landscape from the water beneath the sunshine. Périgord-Limousin National Park is filled with adventure, with 2,000km of paths and trails ahead of you to explore. Périgord-Limousin has a diversity of landscapes, making it highly unique. This includes rivers, limestone plateaus, forests, cliffs, peat bogs and ponds. This diversity also makes wildlife abundant, including, hen harriers, ungulates and peregrine falcons.
If you want to explore the local towns and villages, Sarlat, is a must-see in the area, located north of Dordogne. Containing the highest density of classified historical monuments, the town was founded in the 9th century. You will love walking through the streets, admiring history on every side. With architecture dating back to the 14th, 15th and 16th centuries, there are stories of times gone by at every turn. Pick up a walking tour booklet from the tourist centre near the cathedral! For your information, market days in the town are on Saturdays and Wednesdays. Finally, summer is when Dordogne comes to life, and theatre and jazz festivals are plentiful as you relax in the sunshine.

Region
One of France’s most visited destinations, Sarlat-la-Canéda is a beautiful medieval town with a superb reputation for its gastronomy. Staying near Sarlat allows you to experience the town’s rich heritage alongside its fine cuisine, whilst also being close to idyllic villages and natural scenery of the Périgord Noir, never far from the meandering Dordogne River.
Exquisitely restored, explore the old town with its warren of winding lanes with inviting shops, restaurants and characterful cafes. Take a guided tour to truly appreciate Sarlat’s rich history dating back to medieval and Renaissance times – the small yet attractive Cathédrale Saint-Sacerdos de Sarlat, once a Benedictine abbey, is one of the main highlights of the town.
Spend time learning all about the region’s gastronomy, best experienced at the traditional outdoor market on a Saturday or Wednesday morning. Local specialities are of course served in Sarlat’s many excellent restaurants or bought in little shops across the town – look out for foie-gras, truffles, honey, chestnuts and walnuts. There is also an organic market on Thursday afternoons and a charming covered market near the cathedral.
If staying in the height of the summer, join in one of the region’s marchés nocturnes in nearby villages where you can enjoy local food amongst locals accompanied by good wine and music.
Elsewhere, visit the grand châteaux of the Dordogne (Château des Milandes and Château de Beynac are both less than half an hour away from Sarlat), stroll around elegant gardens (Les Jardins de Marqueyssac by candlelight is especially atmospheric) and visit picture-perfect riverside villages such as La Roque-Gageac and Domme, both classified as ‘Plus Beaux Villages’. Heading north instead, the famous caves of Lascaux are also within easy reach.
Hot air balloon rides are a great way to admire the landscapes of the Périgord Noir or simply canoe along the Dordogne River in glorious surroundings. There are of course wonderful walks, tree-top adventure centres and fantastic cycling routes including the 29km-long voie verte stretching from Sarlat to Cazoulès following a former railway line passing magnificent Dordogne countryside.
Kids
Best Suited For: All AgesFamilies will love the Dordogne, and Black and White House is the perfect home away from home. Spread out over two levels, there is plenty of room for the whole family to spread out.
The bedrooms on the lower floor are perfect for kids and families to occupy as it will be easy to keep an eye on them from down the hall. The twin bedroom is perfect for kids sharing and with days filled with adventures they will be asleep in no time.
Kids will love causing a splash in the pool, plus with the added bonus of it being heated, you can adjust the temperature as and when you need. As the pool is at the bottom of the garden, it may be hard to keep an eye on them from the villa, so do be cautious.
The villa is set in a relatively secluded and yet peaceful area of the Dordogne, ideal for making those important family memories together! Outside the villa, there is plenty for the whole family to do together. The kayak tours on the Dordogne River are great to do as a family; an adventure they will be talking about all week! Even more, visit the local towns and be submerged in history down every street.
