If you're after grandeur, this stately home in the French countryside makes its mark from the get-go. Set on eight hectares of wooded land, it's all about sweeping views over the Dordogne Valley. In the garden, you'll find fountains, a pétanque court and a heated saltwater pool with a pool house. Inside, there's plenty of living space, including a billiard room, a TV and games room, and a laptop workspace in every bedroom. There's even a separate one-bedroom guest house with a romantic Nordic bath outside. You’ll need a car, but with a setting like this, it's worth it. You're in the Golden Triangle of the Périgord Noir, and just a short drive from the medieval town of Sarlat.
Home truths: *Due to this home's location, we recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay. There’s free parking on the grounds, and an electric vehicle charging point available for you to use for free. There's also a covered area for bicycles and motorcycles.
*The swimming pool is only available for use between 1st May and 30th September. It's a saltwater pool heated to 28°C. It isn't fenced, so if you're bringing little ones, they'll need to be supervised at all times.
*If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide two cots, two high chairs, two changing mats, a baby bath, as well as children's dinnerware, toys and books for free. You'll need to request them in advance.
*Four of the bedrooms have king beds that can be separated into twins if preferred.
*There's air conditioning in all bedrooms, as well as the dining room and kitchen.
