This place was exceptionally wonderful and Jill is the most welcoming, friendly, kind person who went above and beyond in making us feel totally at home from the minute we arrived - she has fabulous hosting skills. We really enjoyed getting to know her and the story behind this gorgeous gite and she gave us loads of recommendations for the local area. Pretty Montignac is a decent sized town and the easiest 4-5mins scenic drive down a straight road past fields and the Vezere river, you can hire bikes there using an app, there are a number of stunning villages within 10mins drive, loads of great restaurants etc. But we loved the gite so much we enjoyed cooking there, relaxing in the various different seating areas in the garden including very comfortable sun loungers, playing with Jill's very friendly dog and wandering around the walnut orchards surrounding the property. As for the gite itself, it is brand new, squeaky clean, feels very spacious with high ceilings, has everything you need in the kitchen, great shower and incredibly comfy bed in cosy mezzanine bedroom up a stepladder - we loved looking out the bedroom window at night at the stars and listening to an owl. It is a magical place.

The house is located in a beautiful village and amazing green valley with fields, forests, cliffs and stream, near the heart of Perigored.

Perfect location for a summer holiday - a very calm place with great view on the valley, yet in easy (driving) distance from the town, shops and major attractions and activities. Despite temperatures over 30°C the day and 20°C the night the stone house stayed comfortably cold (if well managed over the day and evening). Big and well equipped kitchen for big family cooking, big indoor and shaded outdoor table. Nice bathrooms with good showers! Well tended, shaded garden, enough parking space for two large cars. Great communication, too. As the house was built gradually, the entrance separates one old house with big kitchen, big living room on the ground floor and two rooms one after another, with 2+1 beds in each and a bathroom upstairs, on one side, and a smaller building with small, darker living room and a bathroom on the ground, two smaller rooms with 2+2 beds, on the other side. Perfect for two families spending summer together, or a big family, with children in the big house and parents in the smaller :)))

This is a lovely rustic little gîte in a fantastic location! We loved how close it was to charming St Leon & visited St Leon almost every day to swim in the river. We really enjoyed eating outside the gîte in the evening, and the children loved playing swing-ball in the garden!
