La Petite Maison

We are avid Francophiles and love to travel in Europe. We've been coming to Beynac since 1997 and immediately felt a sense of connection to this charming little village in this beautiful region of France. Some years we visited several times. Eventually, we found a place of our own. This is more than a vacation rental to us, it's a second home. Beynac feels like home to us. Like a story book village lost in time that we had only read or dreamt about, it deserves its designation as Most Beautiful Village of France.

La Petite Maison is perfect for couples and small families. This cottage has two full-sized master suites each with its own private ensuite bathroom. A common living area with the sitting room and dining area separates the bedrooms above and below. The living room boasts a massive stone fireplace, antique copper, and leather furniture, which accentuate the comfort and enjoyment of staying in your own place. Amenities include: • Central village setting just steps away from the bakery, grocery store, restaurants, ATM, post office, galleries, hairdresser, doctor and pharmacy • Two romantic master bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms, one with a four-poster colonial bed, the other in the style of Louis XV • Air conditioning, a rarity in most vacation rentals in southwest France • Fully modern bathrooms fitted with spa shower cabins, perfect for helping you relax after a busy day of sightseeing • Fully equipped kitchen to make dining in easy and stress-free • High ceilings with large chestnut wood beams in the living/dining room and comfortable seating with leather sofa and club chair • Massive stone fireplace with stove insert and antique copper accents

The village of Beynac consists of a cluster of golden-stone houses beneath a dramatic 500-foot cliff. Perched at the top stands the 12th century Chateau Beynac, rising from the sheer cliff face along the most historic and scenic section of the Dordogne River. With its formidable Chateau, rows of charming houses, and the gentle river below, the setting is simply captivating. La Petite Maison makes for an ideal home base for visiting all the picturesque villages in the Perigord Noir, including Domme, La Roque-Gageac, Castelnaud, Monpazier, and Sarlat just to name a few.Top attractions nearby include dozens of medieval castles, famous prehistoric caves, medieval festivals, and an amusement park. Local Services in the village include art galleries, ATMs, post office, cafes, restaurants, wine shops, toy store, boat tours, medieval shop, bakeries, butcher, grocery store, auto repair, hair salon, and gift shops. Leisure Activities include cooking lessons, golf, local markets, canoeing, kayaking, hiking, and biking.
