Located at the gateway to the "Golden Triangle" of the Dordogne Valley between Sarlat and Bergerac, Maison Marqueyssac welcomes you for an authentic holiday in the heart of nature. You will be staying in a charming and bright stone house, ideal for a small family with a maximum occupancy of 4 people. Enjoy the peace and quiet of this place and the magnificent view over the garden and the surrounding fields; while having breakfast in the veranda with opening windows on three sides, you are likely to see a deer or two and be able to watch the many birds singing high up in the poplars. In the evening, you have a front row seat to the magnificent spectacle of colour and light that nature offers us when the sun sets. Enjoy a high quality holiday in absolute peace and quiet in an exceptional environment: Maison Marqueyssac is surrounded by 40 hectares of fields, forests and small woods. Access to the Domaine, which consists of three stone houses of character, totally independent with their equipped terraces and private gardens, as well as the main building, is via a private road 500 metres long; we are therefore far from the "outside world", from other people's cars and even from our closest neighbours. The size of the grounds allows all our guests to enjoy their holiday in the middle of a large landscaped park and by our large swimming pool. There are many hiking trails leading directly from the Domaine. On your walks you will probably come across pheasants, partridges, roe deer and rabbits. Our establishment has not one, not two or three, but billions of stars! Without the pollution of the cities, we enjoy an incredible sky. We are sure that you will be as amazed as we are by this spectacle of Mother Nature which appears as soon as the sky is clear. What's more, our sunrises and sunsets are breathtaking! The town of Lalinde with its supermarket, convenience stores and small local market is only 9 kilometres away. Most of the region's tourist attractions are within a 30 km radius of the Domaine. Our site is set in 1.5 hectares of parkland with ancient trees, flowers in all seasons and a large swimming pool nestled in the ruins of an old barn. The pool is south facing, fenced and alarmed. The children will find their happiness in the small house filled with toys adjacent to the pool area. The park has many places to relax and leisure activities (deckchairs, hammocks, parasols, table tennis, badminton, petanque,...). Books and board games are available for everyone. The Marqueyssac House comfortably accommodates up to 4 people. *** If you are more than 4 people, please check out our other two "Perrot en Périgord" ads: our houses "Castelnaud" and "Lascaux" can each accommodate 6 more people. *** Facilities : Veranda-dining room, living room with TV (satellite reception, many international channels), WIFI router + CPL, large bay window with unobstructed view on the garden.
