My husband and I rented Dominque and Veronique’s guest house for two weeks in early October. I had high expectations, but this truly exceeded them all. The property was lovely indoors and out. The outdoor had a lovely pool, a charming stone wall and bamboo for privacy and was set in the idyllic Dordogne countryside. Much to my delight, there were two horses and the most charming dog imaginable.
The indoors featured thick stone walls from the 1700’s, but also benefited from being modernized perfectly. The architecture was truly lovely with dramatic vaulted ceilings and rustic beams. We entertained friends and family at the house and everyone absolutely loved it. Each bedroom had an en-suite bathroom attached and we had no issues with water pressure or hot water even when six people showered in the mornings. There was also a plancha grill and a covered outdoor dining area as well as the large indoor kitchen table.
Every detail of the house was thoughtfully considered. When we arrived, a welcome basket with fresh local vegetables, wine and local preserves awaited us. Our hosts even gave us two bottles of homemade apple juice!
I would note that it is important to have a car to fully enjoy the area. We visited medieval villages, castles, caves, wineries, ancient subterranean churches and even took a hot air balloon. This was a trip for my husband’s 50th birthday and we will always have lovely memories of both the house and the breathtaking views of Dordogne. We hope to return soon!
