Country Villa with large pool & cinema

Nestled in the rolling hills of the beautiful Dordogne, Le Chat Blanc has everything you need to make a dream holiday come true both at the stunning property and minutes away in the bustling French village of Verteillac with its popular restaurants and shops. Le Chat Blanc has full wifi access across the property. The space With two-hectares around Le Chat Blanc, there’s so much to explore and enjoy in our extensive garden and grounds. For the kids, there’s a vast amount of secret areas to explore and a garden treasure hunt to keep them amused for hours. We have a 11mx5m heated swimming pool for hours of fun, relaxation and for cooling yourself down when the Dordogne sun becomes too hot. For the football fans, you can kick about on our very own three/four-a-side pitch complete with 8ftx4ft nets, lines, and Le Chat Blanc corner posts. For the naturists among you, feel free to explore the vast gardens as there is an extensive variety of trees, birdlife, and often some wild animals to spot along with a stream and an abundance of fruit trees to pick from and enjoy. With no neighbours nearby it really is the perfect secluded retreat to relax go for long walks and unwind with family and friends. Main House - the main house sleeps eight people with a maximum of ten people as there is a small sofa bed in the Game Room lounge if needed. There are two double bedrooms, one with an en-suite shower room and one with an en-suite shower/bathroom. One twin room and a bunk bedroom which both share the family shower room plus, a lounge, games room, dining room, courtyard, and garden. Games Room - We pride ourselves in providing as much entertainment on-site as possible with something for everyone to enjoy. Our games room, which overlooks the inner courtyard houses a pool table; a full-size electric air hockey table; table football/foosball; dartboard; boxing gloves and pads; a card table; chess and even a Shove Hapenny board (with instructions – if you haven't played shove hapenny then you should while you are there, it's great fun!)  And if this wasn’t enough, we also have a full-size table tennis table in the inner courtyard and a 5-a-side football pitch in the garden so you can entertain yourselves outside to enjoy outside in the fresh air. We also have a 3m drop down cinema screen so you can enjoy movie nights with friends and family (popcorn not included!) The Main House Lounge - Surrounded by stone walls you’ll know you’re in the heart of France. The large lounge offers you a luxurious three-piece-suite to kick-back on and relax. It’s the perfect setting from which to talk, drink, and immerse yourself in your friends and family's company. There is also a log fire for those cooler winter evenings.  The Main House Dining Area - You’ll feast in style around the large oak table in the dining area that is flooded with light from massive windows that look out on Le Chat Blanc’s iconic inner courtyard with views to the impressive outer courtyard. Main House Kitchen - Le Chat Blanc’s kitchen is not only overflowing with everything you need to stretch your culinary skills and embrace the French love of food, but the huge room is also home to a six-foot-long oak table providing another superb dining space. The kitchen is not only equipped with everything you’d expect like the electric oven, microwave, coffee machine, and cookware but also a smoothie maker, a popcorn maker, and a candy floss machine – let the holiday cooking commence. The Inner Courtyard - The Courtyard is the perfect outdoor space to relax and enjoy – whether you’re relaxing in the outside living room; cooking in the outdoor kitchen; flipping burgers on the built-in BBQ; having a beer in the cactus room; playing tennis table or dining under the stars around the large outside dining table. Truly, this is the perfect heart of Le Chat Blanc to enjoy the warm days and balmy Dordogne nights. The Gite - The stunning gite sleeps six people regularly but this can be extended to eight using the provided folding bed if needed. Opening on to Le Chat Blanc’s grand outer courtyard the gite has two gorgeously appointed double bedrooms, each with its own en-suite shower room. Additionally, there is a kids' bunk room (please note the kids’ room does not have its own bathroom facilities and needs to share one of the en-suites). The gite’s accommodation also includes a kitchen/diner and lounge with access to its own garden area. (You can view all the bedrooms in the picture gallery). Guest access The whole property is for your sole exclusive use. Other things to note Please note that parties and events are not allowed and we do not accept bookings for bachelorette parties and stag do's. Our check in and check out times are extremely strict with arrival no earlier than 4pm and all guests must vacate the property no later than 10am on the day of departure. We do not permit guests to use P20 sunscreen whilst staying at the property. This brand causes huge staining damage to bed linen, towels,furniture and pool liners so please kindly refrain from using it if you plan to stay with us. The lower level of the bunk bed in the Gite downstairs bedroom is a double that can accommodate 2 people (though we list it for 1 as it is more comfortable) and this bedroom has no bathroom access other than the en-suite bathrooms of the upstairs bedrooms. Please note that our sofa bed is located in the Games Room lounge. With regards to children's safety please note: 1) There is a stream at the bottom of the garden (far from the house) which does have shallow water but may be dry by mid-summer. 2) We have cacti on one edge of the outside of the courtyard. This has been cut back for safety but please may all visitors be aware not to walk close to them! Please note the swimming pool at Le Chat Blanc is typically opened between mid May and the first week of October depending on weather conditions. If you require the pool outside of the normal season please contact us and we can discuss whether it is possible or not. Please note that if you require the pool to be heated this is done so upon request and incurs an additional daily surcharge.
