This pretty 3 bedroom house nestles in rolling countryside, a gentle ride from the magnificent Dordogne river and a short walk from the hill top village of Castillionnes, with its restaurants, bars, and bustling weekly market. Easy to find, only 20 minutes from Bergerac airport and 90 minutes from Bordeaux, it’s a cosy home from home offering a peaceful holiday with a private pool, a terrace surrounded by lavender and lovely views. The perfect place to unwind with a glass of chilled rose after a day kayaking on the river, horse-riding, or even donkey trekking! Should you manage to tear yourself away from the view, the pool, and that glass of wine, we have lots to occupy the whole family, tennis courts and a large public swimming pool a short walk away, a great sandy beach at Lougratte lake just 15 minutes drive away. The wonderfully preserved medieval villages of Issigeac, Eymet and Villereal are equally near-by and the gorgeous hilltop Bastide villages of Monpazier and Monflanquin, both with 30 minutes drive.
