Excellent property for our party of 2 couples. Nicely presented and maintained. Wonderful experience watching the hot air balloons rise from the morning mist. The steps to the bedrooms could be a negative for some as they are very narrow but the property description gives you a good idea of what to expect before you book. The setting is extremely rural and you'd need a car. We wouldn't hesitate to book again or recommend.
This was our 2nd stay in the property (albeit 16 years between visits) and it didn’t disappoint. The property is spotlessly clean and very well equipped. The views are amazing, and the sight of the hot air balloons rising through the mist in the mornings is spectacular. The local village is very quiet but it is only a few minutes drive to Beynac-et-Cazenac and into the Dordogne valley with all its sights and attractions.
Catherine, the host, is very communicative and obviously very house proud.
The only observations would be that the spiral staircases to the bedrooms would be difficult for someone who is not very mobile and the WiFi is pretty poor, but overall it is a fabulous place.
So delighted to return for a second stay, seven years after our first visit. Lovely property, well equipped, superb peaceful location with stunning views over towards Beynac and much more. Great communication with the friendly owner Catherine. Hope to visit yet again sometime in the future.

Lovely property in an amazing location
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property and made great use of the outdoor space as the weather was very hot. Fabulous views and clear night skies and such a peaceful location in a small hamlet. We were a party of 5 adults and had plenty of indoor space, the house being clean, modern and comfortable.
Incredible 7 days in this gorgeous villa. Like others had said the stairs would not be good for people with mobility issues as spiral and steep but we were fine with our 8 year old children
Lovely stay, so peaceful and the pool was fantastic during hot hot weather.
Lovely property with 2 outside terraces so shade always possible. Swimming pool to cool off if it’s hot and very pretty interior. Spiral stairs might be a problem for those with walking difficulties.
The views from the terrace across to Beynac Castle are amazing and location is very quiet.

This is a lovely characterful property in an amazing setting.
The views of the valley from the terrace and balcony are unbelievable. We really enjoyed having our breakfast watching the hot air balloons rise above Beynac. The property has been renovated with care and has lots of character. It is very clean and everything was in good working order. Catherine was very helpful and ensured we had everything we needed. We had a lovely holiday and this is a great house if you are looking for peace and tranquillity. Worth noting that there are 2 sets of spiral stairs so not ideal for those with mobility challenges. Overall, highly recommended and we plan to return!
We passed a perfect stay in that lovely and charming house. The interior chosen very carefully with lovely details. Interior and exterior with a lot of nice places to relax, the only deficultiy ist to find out, which is the best of..
Perfect location with a unforgettable view on the landscape. Absolutly quiet up there perfect to get back after an impressive day, discovering the spots around, which are easy to reach in short distance. The hosts Cathy and Manu are that kind sympathic, that we got the feeling, beeing there among friends. Shure will come back : Not more to tell yo than : Paradise found.
We are a family with grown up children in their 20’s and 30’s. We holiday in the Dordogne every summer, and always find a different location to stay in. This year I can honestly say has been an absolute gem of a holiday. The cottage is perfect- so clean and homely with everything you could possibly need. The owners are warm and kind, attentive to any need and extremely discreet. The location is just beautiful- overlooking the Dordogne valley with stunning views. Watching the hot air balloons morning and evening is a joy to behold.
We felt so relaxed and chilled during our stay, and loved the wildlife around us. The swifts and sparrows were very entertaining, we saw deer, badgers, bats and frogs all within a mile of the property. The Hoopoe Bird was often present singing away- he was stunning, and the owner brought his pony and donkey to graze a few times in the garden below the house. It was just bliss.
The stairs to the bedrooms are spiral, and you get used to them quickly- they add to the character of the house. Definitely the cleanest and best presented property we have stayed in.
The bbq is brilliant and very easy to clean.
I am sure we will return. I can honestly say that everything was perfect!
Sejour tres agréable dans la maison de Catherine qui nous a accueillis tres chaleureusement ... la maison est idéalement située avec une vue incroyable !Nous recommandons et reviendrons avec grand plaisir
Wir waren zum 2. Mal in diesem wunderschönen Ferienhaus und wir haben unseren Urlaub sehr genossen.Der Kontakt mit der Vermieterin war immer sehr freundlich. Alle Angaben zum Haus stimmen mit der Anzeige überein.Im Pool kann man sich nach den Besichtigungstouren enspannen. Die Aussicht von der Terasse ist wunderschön, dort kann man den Abend ausklingen lassen und dabei den Heißluftballons zusehen.Wir waren rundum zufrieden und bedanken uns recht herzlich bei unserer Gastgeberin für diese schöne Zeit.A.Friedrich
Accueil très chaleureux des propriétaires disponibles et attentionnés. Très belle rénovation conservant l'authenticité des maisons périgourdines et décorée avec soin. Emplacement exceptionnel avec une vue magnifique sur Beynac et sa vallée. Un plus, le vol de montgolfières au-dessus de la maison...
Wir wurden sehr herzlich empfangen. Das 800 Jahre alte Haus hat sehr viel Charme und wurde mit viel Liebe von der Besitzerin dekoriert. Die Küche ist voll ausgestattet mit allem was man benötigt. Wir haben überwiegend gekocht, es hat an nichts gefehlt. Die verschiedenen Sitzplätze wie Poolterrasse, Balkon oder Laubenplatz mit Grill boten zu jeder Tageszeit eine wunderbare Aussicht. Alles war sehr sauber.
Ein kleines Manko waren die fehlenden Auflagen für die Liegen. Ein Handtuchpaket wurde gebucht, allerdings erhielten wir nur 2 Handtücher pro Person. Wahrscheinlich hätten wir aber auf Nachfrage garantiert auch mehr bekommen.
Wer absolute Ruhe sucht, ist in diesem Ferienhaus richtig. Der nächste große Supermarkt war in ca 10 Autominuten zu erreichen.
Wir würden gerne wieder kommen, es war ein traumhafter Urlaub in einem traumhaften Haus in traumhafter Landschaft. Vielen Dank dafür.

Wir hatten zu zweit einen wunderbaren Urlaub in diesem authentischen Haus im Herzen des schwarzen Perigord. Das alte Haus ist mit viel Liebe und Sorgfalt renoviert und eingerichtet. Gegebenheiten der historischen Bausubstanz wurden intelligent und kreativ an die heutige Nutzung angepasst, ohne den Charakter des Hauses zu zerstören. Die Schlafräume unter dem Dach sind klimatisiert, was bei Tagestemperaturen um 35 Grad auch nötig war. Die Küche ist sehr gut ausgestattet und die Geräte funktionieren alle sehr gut, es gibt sogar einen ordentlichen sauberen Staubsauger, was ich in anderen Häusern oft vermisst habe… Der Balkon bietet einen atemberaubenden Blick auf das Tal der Dordogne, der Pool ist sehr gut gepflegt und der Sitzplatz unter dem Weinlaub ist auch in der Mittagshitze ein angenehmer Aufenthaltsort. Die Gastgeber sind äußerst freundlich und man merkt dem ganzen Anwesen an, dass es von den Eigentümern vor Ort gepflegt wird. Wir können einen Aufenthalt in diesem Haus wärmstens empfehlen!
C'est notre deuxième séjour dans cette formidable maison. Nous sommes revenus et nous reviendrons pour toutes ces bonnes raisons : Une région magnifique et une maison exceptionnelle. Elle présente tous les ingrédients pour un bon séjour avec enfants (poney et âne dans le pré à côté, piscine idéale pour des baignades en toute sécurité, de l'espace si le temps se couvre, etc.). Un immense merci à Catherine, Jean Manuel et leurs petits enfants pour leur grande gentillesse et le formidable séjour. A l'année prochaine :)
Le gîte est idéalement situé dans un petit hameau typique du Périgord Noir. La vue panoramique sur les châteaux de Beynac et Castelnaud depuis les deux terrasses du gîte est magique. Rien ne manque dans ce logement parfaitement rénové. Tout petit bémol pour les personnes à mobilité réduite pour lesquelles un gîte de plain-pied sera plus commode.
Fantastique semaine dans le Perigord - Maison de rêve
Nous avons passé une semaine formidable dans une maison tout simplement merveilleuse. Une vue exceptionnelle qui fait se sentir immédiatement en vacances, la piscine était parfaite pour se rafraichir (format idéal pour jeunes enfants). La maison était fraiche malgré les chaleurs et très facile à vivre (commerce proche / entretien facile / bien pensée). Un petit âne et un petit poney dans le pré voisin que les enfants ont adoré câliner. Un grand merci à Catherine et à son mari pour les conseils restos, visites et itinéraires (on a évité Bordeaux et nous n'avons presque pas eu d'embouteillage pour rejoindre la Bretagne / MERCI ) et leur très grande gentillesse. Tous les ingrédients étaient réunis pour passer des vacances formidables. Nous avons adoré le coin et la maison. Une adresse à garder précieusement :) Merci ! Claire

A fabulous house with incredible views across the valley from all of the outside areas. Having breakfast, or dinner in the evening, watching the balloons fly over the castle and river is probably worth the rental cost alone..
The pool is perfectly sized, very clean and a pleasure to come back to after a day's sightseeing. There is a lovely shaded dining and BBQ area under the pergola next to the pool which we used most evenings.
The house has been beautifully decorated and furnished whilst retaining it's old-world charm and character, and has all the amenities that could possibly need.
Situated in a lovely little hamlet just outside Beynac we found the house provided the perfect compromise between being ideally situated for day trips out to all the attractions but also an oasis to escape to after a busy day.
As other reviews have described, the spiral stairs to the bedrooms are quite steep and that's something you may wish to consider if you have mobility difficulties.
The owner Catherine was absolutely charming and very helpful during our stay, on hand to meet us on arrival and answer any questions but also very discreet.
I'd thoroughly recommend a stay at this lovely house.
Maison pleine de charme, authentique, avec une décoration soignée. Située au calme mais pourtant près de tout.
La vue est spectaculaire.
Les photos sont conformes, la maison propre et bien équipée, les propriétaires acceuillants et réactifs.
Piscine, barbecue, terrasse, tout pour un séjour agréable et ressourçant.
