About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Gîte by the river in the Dordogne - La Gloriette

The cottages of the Bigoussies mill can accommodate up to 10 people in 3 completely independent structures.

The "gazebo" is a very spacious cottage which can accommodate up to 3 people (1 bedroom and a convertible sofa) it also has a private terrace under a gazebo. Direct access to the river.

The 3 lodgings have been recently renovated in contemporary comfort and will seduce you with their exceptional location by the river. You have direct access for swimming, fishing or canoe trips. Located 5 minutes from Ribérac, they will be the starting point for many visits to the region. This 18th century mill belonged to the 12th century Romanesque abbey of Saint-Saud-Lacoussière above Brantôme. Presumably built on old foundations, we find it on the 18th century Cassini cards; its architecture is from the XIXth century.

It became an eel fishery at the end of the 19th century, then the refuge of a historian writer, before opening up to you on the Dronne. The water quality is exceptional, it is a dream place for fishing or walks.
The vacation home is heated and features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Guests can expect to find a TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker. Limited housekeeping is available.

Très belle escapade dans une région que nous ne connaissions pas.

Le gîte est superbe ! Pas de chichis, juste beau et sobrement décoré, avec goût Nathalie nous a réservé un bel accueil et avait prévu un petit déjeuner délicieux, notamment les confitures maison. Un très beau jardin, et un jardinier très sympathique et généreux : nous sommes repartis avec des plants. A recommander

Qu'ajouter aux louanges unanimement décernées ? Merci aux propriétaires de leur chaleureux accueil. Le gite est impeccable et confortable, l'environnement, en bord de rivière (c'est un moulin) calme, serein et les jardins joliment fleuris. Nous avons passé un séjour d'autant plus agréable que cette région du Périgord offre de belles découvertes (Périgueux et sa cathédrale, l'abbaye de Brantôme, l'église troglodyte d'Aubeterre et nombres de châteaux). Bel endroit.
