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.

A Very Nice Holiday
It is a detached and quietly located beautiful and clean house/bungalow with lots of space. Everything is on one level with sliding doors in the living room to the large garden. Neat furnishings with all the trimmings. Around the house there is a large enclosed garden (nice for our boomer) with an organic swimming pool with sun beds. Unfortunately the swimming pool is not heated, but we still use it a lot when the weather is nice. The house is located on a road with other detached houses, but you have enough privacy in the garden. At the front of the house and at the swimming pool you have a beautiful view of the hilly surroundings. There are several supermarkets in Terrasson for groceries and the town itself is also nice for a visit. Nearby places to visit include Brives, Sarlat and Limoges. Upon arrival, you will walk around the house with the friendly owner with explanations in French. We had a very nice holiday in this beautiful house and it is certainly worth repeating.

Thank you!!
What a beautiful holiday home, everything nice and tidy both inside and outside. A beautifully maintained and well-enclosed garden. Our dog also had a great time, he could stroll around the house without 'escaping', because when he goes after his nose, he doesn't pay attention to anything anymore. This is how we as a family were able to relax. The pool is also fantastic, and we enjoyed it under the veranda. Trips to Terrasson were also very nice what a beautiful old town!
Thank you!! -

Thoroughly enjoyed!
Yes we thoroughly enjoyed Villa Basse. We are now at the end of the first week in Villa Basse and we still have a nice week to go. The owners are very friendly and helpful. Although not all sun, the weather suits us fine at the moment. Temperatures not too high and enough days less sun and a little rain to recover, wonderful. This is also excellent for the dogs. They have plenty of space here at Villa Basse and enjoy it to the full.
