About this property
Gîte Le Pigeonnier in Montignac-Lascaux, large garden, private heated swimming pool
Perched on the hills above Valojoulx—a typical village in the Périgord Noir region, located in the canton of Montignac-Lascaux—you’ll find La Bachellerie, nestled on the edge of the forest. The house, set in the heart of an 8-hectare private estate, enjoys an ideal location. It is situated in the centre of the “Golden Triangle” connecting Les Eyzies (the Cro-Magnon Man), Montignac (the Lascaux IV Caves), and Sarlat (the medieval town). Built in 2005, the house has been completely renovated and decorated in a cosy, comfortable style, offering 89m² of interior space. It is a 3-key Clévacances-certified holiday rental. We’ll welcome you with a basket of local specialities upon your arrival so you can sample the delicacies of our region. Early risers may be lucky enough to spot some deer that will keep you company during breakfast. During the day, you can relax in a private, fenced-in, heated 5×11-meter pool with a spacious exotic wood deck, lulled by the gentle song of cicadas… In the evening, enjoy the house’s south-facing terrace while sipping a drink with family and friends as you watch the magnificent sunset. Children can play and let off steam with the many games provided. Outside, there’s a play structure, ping-pong, a basketball hoop, and badminton; inside, children’s DVDs, books, board games, Legos, markers, and coloured pencils… (2 bedrooms are equipped with flat-screen TVs) Just below lies the heart of the small village of Valojoulx, featuring the 12th-century Saint-Laurent Church—a listed historic monument—its magnificent pond, and its charming, friendly farmers’ market every Friday evening during the summer. Make the most of your holiday—upon request, we can book tours of caves or castles for you, recommend the best restaurants, suggest unique horseback or pony rides with a swim in the river, and provide the best routes for hiking or mountain biking. Pets are welcome for an additional fee of €50 per week per pet. The pool is open from early May through late September. The house is attached to a second holiday rental, which also has its own pool: peace and privacy are guaranteed, with no direct line of sight to neighbouring properties.

We spent a week and a half here in the early summer. The pool was fantastic, clean and warm, and our baby loved it! If you are coming with a baby/toddler, the pool is fenced off and up a low hill so you do not have to worry about them accessing it without you. There's a lovely semi-shaded area and plenty of deckchairs up there as well
The outside table, BBQ and table tennis were all great, and we used them a lot. The whole place was comfortable enough to relax in and linger, but shops, cafes and restaurants only 15mins away in Montignac. We recommend the community shop in Valojoulx too.
Very nice cottage and pool - perfect in every detail
The 50 m2 pool is great, the size of the garden is huge - and it is nice and quiet all day long.
The cottage is perfectly equipped down to every detail, e.g. dishwasher tabs, and even ice in the fridge.
We had some very minor things to remediate (e.g. broken badminton rackets), and it was resolved within less than a day - great host.
The fact that the second cottage was just adjacent to ours did not disturb at all. There were no guests, but they also had a completely independent and opposite part of the garden, including pool, BBQ and kids playground. Really a great space for kids.
We would much look forward to return soon and explore the Valley of Dordogne and Vezere (the cradle of mankind) further. It was a magnificent stay.
The house is lovely situated within a hilly countryside near the vezere river. You are almost separated from the busy tourist streams you find somewhere further south in the Périgord.We really loved it therefor - and if you want - you can always get there. The house itself provides you with everything needed for an independent holiday, has a fully equipped kitchen, enough space and leaves nothing to be missed. We really loved the great, covered terasse, which is a nice feature, when it rains. A bit apart from the building is the large and heated (!) pool, which I found even big enough to perform some serious swim training.
In terms of sport - the area is one of the best I ever experienced for race cycling. Hilly roads, you're almost alone, it was such a pleasure to ride there.
We´d definitely would come back !
Nous avions été enchantés de notre séjour en 2024, nous sommes revenus cette année. Endroit superbe, gîte très bien placé pour les multiples visites et activités à faire aux alentours. La piscine est superbe, chauffée et bien aménagée. Merci encore Sandrine pour sa gentillesse et le panier local trop savoureux.
Gîte tr ès confortable, bien équipé, très propre, situé en pleine nature, en lisière de forêt. Tout en haut d’une grande prairie plantée de quelques fruitiers, une magnifique et grande piscine, idéalement exposée au soleil, et pour nous tout seuls! La région est exceptionnelle par sa gastronomie, ses sites touristiques, sa nature préservée et y être hébergés dans de telles conditions a rendu pour nous ce séjour parfait et inoubliable. Merci à Sandrine pour la chaleur de son accueil et sa gentillesse. Nous reviendrons certainement.
Le gîte est très bien placé pour les nombreuses visites et activités aux alentours tout en étant au calme. Il est aménagé et décoré avec goût. Pour les chambres à l'étage, si le canapé est déplié, il ne reste qu'un petit passage pour circuler. Une climatisation à l'étage serait un plus pour l'été, les ventilateurs ont bien aidé. La piscine est superbe, chauffée et bien aménagée. Un grand espace jeux pour les enfants et un grand terrain. Merci à Sandrine pour le savoureux panier local de bienvenue. Nous avons passé un excellent séjour.
Superbe séjour, maison agréable, grand terrain et immense piscine, le tout au calme.
L'hôte est très agréable et l'accueil et le départ furent parfaits.
Wij hebben met twee gezinnen enorm genoten in deze villa! De villa was goed schoon en zeer netjes!! Complimenten Sandrine! Omgeving is ook veel te doen. Ook is er genoeg rond de villa te doen zo als een zwembad, speel toestellen enz. Enige minpunt; geen airco en geen horren. Het koelt in de nacht wel goed af maar horren zou dan prettig zijn.
Le logement est récent très moderne, décoration raffiné. Tout est de qualité. Sandrine la propriétaire est disponible et trouve une solution pour passer un séjour très agréable. On reviendra. Allez y sans hésiter
Très bon séjour, logement très bien équipé, propre, très bien situé. Excellente communication pour préparer le séjour et durant le séjour.
Parfait, merci!
Nous sommes arrivés à la nuit et avons adoré ce côté très coconing. Rien ne manque, plai pour se réchauffer le soir, tranquillité, we nature, malgré la Toussaint, nous avons profité d un magnifique soleil, et profité de la terasse très bien exposé.
Endroit idéalement situé dans le Périgord nord.
Hôte accueillante avec un panier de bienvenue apprécié.
Gîte bien équipé et décoré avec goût.
La piscine est grande et chauffée ce qui était un plus lors de notre séjour.
Un gîte incroyablement bien équipé, très agréable / fonctionnel, avec une piscine de rêves et une hôte, Sandrine, très accueillante et réactive. Un grand merci pour ces belles vacances et à bientôt !
Points positifs :
- Localisation : à moins de 45 minutes des principaux sites du Périgord Noir et à 10 minutes d’une grande surface
- Propreté irréprochable, maison et piscine
- Équipement maison/enfants bas âge (aimable mise à disposition lits parapluie, rehausseur, chaise haute)
- Superbe espace piscine sécurisé (néanmoins un peu éloigné de la maison) et espaces extérieurs agréables
Points négatifs :
- Wifi faible et discontinu
- Chambres petites
- Température anormalement étouffante dans la chambre principale alors que les températures extérieures étaient modérées lors de notre séjour
- Clôture électrique à l'extrémité du jardin sans aucune signalisation ; notre fille de 2 ans a eu l'occasion de le découvrir en jouant au ballon
- Rapport qualité-prix
Nous avons passé un excellent séjour dans cette maison L’immense jardin et la terrasse ensoleillée sont extrêmement agréables. La maison est très propre, bien équipée et décorée avec gout. Maison très adaptée à une famille avec enfants en bas age. Nous recommandons sans hésitation! Merci
