Ideal holiday and cultural discovery

La Perle is an imperfect gem of a private house with a wonderful opportunity for anyone to discover this kalaidescope of so many aspects of French culture.

My countryside home is within 15 minutes drive of the main interests of the Périgord Noir such as imposing Sarlat and it's medieval architecture (many are Historical Monuments); Montignac and the world-wide reputation of Lascaux and so many caves and paintings concerning pre-history; Les Eyzies and the Pole International de la Préhistoire and it's unique museum and also the Font de Gaume cave.

Plus only another 15 mins drive down to the stunning Dordogne Valley and its numerous chateaux taking you back to the 100 years war.

The Perigordine traditional stone 145m² house with large parking, is very confortable with 3 double bedroom and 1 bed, 60m² living and dining room with a large chimney, bathroom with shower, double vasque, etc. 2 toilets, very well equipped kitchen with gas central hob and breakfast space, electric oven, washing machine and dishwasher.

The salt-water pool 10 x 5m is surrounded by a large wooden terrace and possibility of diving. Table and chairs for 6 persons with huge 3 x 2 m off-center
parasol and 2 sun-beds.

A warm welcome will be obligatory!
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms and a dining area. Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a private pool, a washing machine, and a fireplace. Housekeeping is available on request.

Just Perfect

The house was well equipped spacious and comfortable. We did not want for anything. Set in a small rural community but you would think there was nothing around you. The pool was brilliant and Nathalie was an excellent host and nothing was too much trouble. We would highly recommend this property and hope to return next year ❤️❤️

A really fantastic house that we stayed in for a week with our 3 teenagers and one dog. The house is spotlessly clean and very well equipped. It's in a beautiful forested setting, brilliant for walks and running. It's located close to Sarlat, which is really worth a look. Fantastic market on the Saturday we arrived, with tonnes of stalls with food and crafts. We found the house overall to be very comfortable. Our kids absolutely loved the pool because it's very large and deep, perfect for diving. And there's a large dining table by the pool with a huge patio umbrella. We ate outside all the time. The owner's daughters welcomed us on arrival and were very helpful with communication and giving directions (don't follow the Vrbo directions - they are completely wrong!). The only thing that we weren't aware of is that there are 3 double bedrooms and then a fourth "office" with a single bed. This isn't actually a room as it doesn't have a door but just a curtain, so not very private. It wasn't a problem for our 19 year old who offered to take that bed, but it's not made clear on the Vrbo listing. In summary, a beautifully presented and comfortable house, with a fantastic pool and in a stunning location. Would very much recommend.

Retour en Périgord

Nous avions séjourné l’an dernier au sud de Sarlat. Cette année, nous avons profité de ce très joli et confortable gîte pour compléter notre visite. Tout est confortable et bien aménagé. Nous avons profité de la piscine tous les jours malgré le temps moyennement ensoleillé. Très bon accueil (merci pour les chouettes cadeaux gastronomiques 😉) par la propriétaire et ses filles.

Nous avons passé un excellent séjour. L'accueil de la propriétaire est trés chaleureux (avec une gentille attention à l'arrivée), la maison est trés bien située (et permets en quelques kilomètres de réaliser de nombreuses visites). La piscine, trés bien entretenue, est un vrai plus en cette saison! Nous reviendrons avec plaisir,

confort et endroit idéal pour rayonner dans la région

Une très jolie maison en pierre avec la partie “neuve” parfaitement intégrée et à l’intérieur le confort avec tout ce qu’il faut. Un beau jardin, une belle piscine au sel ( avec bâche qui permet de conserver la température la nuit) et les nuits sont parfaites: pas une voiture, tout est calme, on n’entend que les grillons. Pour les visites de grottes ou de beaux villages, tout est proche ( 20 à 30 minutes en voiture) et on trouve de délicieux produits, notamment fraises et tomates, sur les marchés de producteurs. Pendant 15 jours on a oublié l’existence des villes...

Great, secure pool for kids, characterful house and charming owner

Patricia is very welcoming and available for questions. The house itself has all the amenities and is filled with useful things including kitchen staples. The whole house is scrupulously clean though the upstairs looks a bit tired. Do follow Patricia's advice on keeping the house cool and the mosquitoes out.

Un havre de paix

La propriété est superbe et très agréable à tous points de vue. Elle est idéalement située pour les amateurs de gastronomie et de beaux endroits, entre Montignac et Sarlat-La-Caneda. Certes, il faut faire 12 kilomètres pour trouver un supermarché, mais, après tout, il suffit de s'organiser : la tranquillité n'a pas de prix. Au demeurant, Lascaux, Les Eyzies, les châteaux de Dordogne, les bastides du Lot ne sont pas bien loin et il est tout à fait possible de pousser jusqu'à Rocamadour ou jusqu'au gouffre de Padirac en partant le matin. Au retour d'excursion, plonger dans la piscine apporte un surcroît de plaisir, lorsqu'il fait beau… Une couverture nocturne serait en effet nécessaire, quand les températures baissent ! En tous cas, l'accueil est chaleureux, bien au-delà de la sympathique corbeille de bienvenue (foie gras et côtes de Bergerac). Un conseil : allez déjeuner ou dîner chez Laborderie à Tamniès avant de repartir...
