About this property

The little house on the edge of the woods

  • A small wooden cottage with a large terrace overlooking the forest, nestled in the countryside between Villefranche-du-Périgord and Frayssinet-le-Gélat. The ideal spot to discover the treasures of the Lot and Dordogne regions.
    La Peyrade is perfect for lovers of the countryside, the Périgord, and the Quercy. The cottage has just been renovated. With a floor area of 28 square metres, it consists of a main living area with a fully equipped kitchen that opens onto the forest, a dining area, and a sitting area. The second room is the bedroom with an en suite bathroom and toilet.
    The terrace, with its dining area and relaxation space, allows you to enjoy the tranquility of the surroundings, the shade of the oak trees, and the song of the cicadas in July.
    The cottage is completely private, not overlooked, and has no immediate neighbors. It offers numerous starting points for walks in the forest.
    It is a 5-minute drive from Frayssinet le Gélat (for morning croissants) and 10 minutes from Villefranche du Périgord for dining on a terrace or shopping.
    A guide featuring the many restaurants, markets, and sites to visit is available in the house.

Nous recherchions un lieu tranquille et reposant que nous avons trouvé dans cette petite maison agencée avec goût située au milieu des bois, d’une propreté irréprochable. Nous avons passé un bon week-end entre balades pédestres et sorties à vélo (VAE presque obligatoire ça monte dur ) maisonnette bien située qui permet de découvrir divers sites entre le Lot et la Dordogne. Nous recommandons pour les amoureux de la nature et du patrimoine. Merci à Cindy et Thierry

Le confort est au rendez-vous, rien ne manque. Nous recommandons vivement !

Un bijou en pleine campagne

Un havre de paix super confortable, entouré d une terrasse et d un jardin ombragé, tous deux bien équipés. Si on y ajoute des propositions d excursions touristiques proches et bien documentées ainsi que des randos de différentes distances autour du gîte, vous comprendrez que chacun peut y trouver son bonheur.
