An exclusive Village Holiday Cottage in the Dordogne. Log fire & private terrace

An ideal retreat for relaxation.

Coustalou is a charming stone-built property nestled in the picturesque 13th century bastide village of Villefranche-du-Perigord in the Dordogne.

Coustalou is not just any holiday house; it’s a family-friendly retreat located in the stunning Dordogne valley, offering perfect gite accommodation for your relaxing vacation.

The gite accommodation features three spacious bedrooms which have been traditionally furnished to accommodate up to six people comfortably. A secluded private terrace with views across the valley awaits you.

Explore the enchanting Villefranche-du-Perigord, with its rich history, delightful local markets, and scenic walking trails. Perfect for families seeking adventure!
Just a few minutes walk from many interesting shops, amenities, bars and restaurants while still retaining peace and tranquility of village life.

Located in the breathtaking Valley of the Lémance between the stunning Dordogne and Lot rivers, lies the oldest bastide village in the Dordogne.

Founded in 1261, the village retains many beautiful medieval buildings dating back to the 16th century. A village rich in wonders and friendliness, especially on market day (Saturday mornings) where you can soak up the ambience and vibrant colours of French life around the market.

This famous bastide village that lies in the south of the Perigord Noir region is famous for its foie gras, walnuts and cepe mushrooms and its hightly prized black truffles.

Villefranche-du-Perigord is only 40 mins drive from the stunning towns of Sarlat and Domme overlooking the river Dordogne. Both the Lot and Dordogne valleys offer stunning medieval riverside towns to enjoy, overhanging both beautiful rivers.
There are numerous historic and geographical sites to explore including the famous Lascaux caves at Montignac, Rocamadour, Padirac, la Roque Gageac that must be visited and easily accessible from Villefranche-du-Perigord.

Coustalou is a perfect base for exploring neighbouring bastide towns such as Monpazier and Domme in the Dordogne, Monflanquin and Villeneuve-sur-Lot in the Lot Valley.
The cottage is heated and features a kitchen, 1.5 bathrooms, and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a Smart TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker.

Lovely terrace with great view but all in all ...

Lets begin with the good things: a lovely terrace with a great view and enough space inside for a small family. A few minor points however: the house was not clean when we arrived, there was no television (and I love the Tour the France so i had appreciated it if the landlords had told us), there was no wifi (we knew that beforehand) and the matrasses in the two-beds bedroom were below minimum level. So, all in all, we were a bit disappointed.

A very peaceful , fantastic place tostay in the Dordogne.

The property is lovely. It had everything you could possibly want including games , books, bbq along with, every conceivable kitchen utensil. The owners provided very detailed instructions as to how to get there,how to get in, how to operate the appliances. It was brilliant. The property is in a gorgeous little village just a few metres along the road. We were also able to use the local campsite facilities too which was lovely.

Séjour agréable

La région est magnifique, la location est très calme et très bien située. La literie est bonne, la cuisine est bien équipée mais mériterait d'être revue notamment au niveau des verres. L'état général de propreté est acceptable mais pas fignolé (Salon de jardin très sale, récupération de la carte pour les ordures le dernier jour, le ménage est manifestement vite fait...) Nous garderons toutefois un excellent souvenir de notre séjour.

Vacances très sympathiques en Perigord

Charmante maison dans le Perigord dans un joli et typique village. Maison bien équipée , literie excellente, très proche du centre ville, tres calme avec une jolie vue sur un paysage bien vert. Seul dommage le mur en pierre de la terrasse s’était écroulé avant notre arrivée a cause de la sécheresse. Les propriétaires avaient sécurisé mais la terrasse avait perdu un peu de son charme. Neanmoins les vacances ont été très sympa, le region y est pour beaucoup , avec des paysages magnifiques et plein de sites a decouvrir. L’accueil a lui aussi été excellent ; merci a Estelle et Rachel

Magnifique !

Bravo pour cette location irréprochable : tout était parfait. Mention spéciale à la literie hors pair, nous avons tous dormi comme des loirs 🙂 Maison impeccable : les équipements (pas de télé mais un très bon lecteur de DVD), la batterie de cuisine, le linge, le barbecue ...), la terrasse avec une vue splendide sur une forêt d'arbres, la machine à laver, les canapés ultra confortables ...Toutes les consignes sont minutieusement indiquées, impossible de s'y perdre. Le gros plus : les échanges avec David et Rachel, les propriétaires, très réactifs et attentionnés. Merci pour la très bonne bouteille de vin à l'arrivée 😘 Ne pas hésiter à louer en t. . Vous pouvez louer en toute confiance. Il y a plein de choses à voir autour. Commerces et services tout à côté. Parfait pour nos ados et notre mamie. Merci beaucoup +++

Magnifique endroit

Une très belle maison au sein d'un village calme et reposant. Proche des commerces et bénéficiant d'un calme absolu, cette maison possède toutes les qualités. Meublée avec beaucoup de goût , elle comporte tout ce que l'on attend d'une location : confort et commodités. En bref nous reviendrons ! (même si Villefranche est peut être un peu trop calme au goût de nos 2 adolescents...)
