Is your greatest wish to be awakened solely and exclusively by the sounds of nature?
Then you are certainly at the right destination with us.
You reach our 25,000 m2 estate via a private forest road and after approximately 300 meters your destination comes into view, a beautiful old stone medium-sized farmhouse dating from around 1880 which has been tastefully restored by the Belgian owners. We offer 2 gites with all possible comforts, one for 4 people (2 bedrooms) and the other for 6 people (3 bedrooms); the latter has its own private swimming pool. (9m x 4.20m)
For impressions, photos, rental calendar and further information, we invite you to visit our personal website: www.gitesdordogne.fr
Although we are located in a rural area, the small town "Le Bugue" is only 7 km away for all your daily shopping needs with a choice of no fewer than 3 supermarkets and numerous various shops.
The Perigord is known among other things for its delicious wines, including Bergerac and Pecharmant wines.
The specialty of the region is Foie gras and of course all other goose products. You will also be able to appreciate wild mushrooms which are used in numerous regional dishes. (naturally only during the picking season)
In the surrounding villages, all sorts of events take place such as pleasant evening markets, village festivals and antique markets, and more.
The beautiful nature invites you to an active holiday and if desired, there are plenty of opportunities for walking or cycling trips.
On the Vézère and Dordogne rivers, canoeing is pleasant and there are numerous beaches with swimming facilities.
For golf enthusiasts, there are several golf courses nearby.
In both gites you will find brochures for all your possible tourist outings.
"Les Eyzies de Tayac" is the center of most prehistoric discoveries.
In addition to the museum, you can also visit the numerous caves with which the area is rich, including a copy of the "Lascaux" caves with the world-famous prehistoric murals, as the original cave is now closed for preservation and protection of the original wall paintings.
A visit to the numerous castles, medieval towns and villages such as the famous Sarlat is also highly recommended.
There is truly a complete range of possibilities, too many to mention. To get a better picture, we would like to refer you to this link with several activities and attractions listed for you: www.perigorddecouverte.com.
We created a "Wellness" complex here consisting of 2 heated and secured swimming pools (one of which is private for gite 1)
On site, we offer a beautiful orientally-themed hammam with mosaic tiling and a sauna 2 evenings per week (Tuesday and Thursday), available privately for your group upon simple reservation.
The available Spa/jacuzzi is offered to you 3 afternoons per week (Monday, Wednesday and Friday) for a 45-minute session (per 4 people).
A fitness room with 5 different professional machines is available to our guests every morning from 9 am to 12 noon.
There is also a petanque court available with all necessary equipment, and there is also a "kubb" game available.
Only during the months of July and August are you our guests (always on Sunday morning) for a welcome drink followed by an extensive tapas buffet with cold and hot snacks.
Only on Wednesday morning can we provide you with an extensive breakfast with many "home made" products between 9 am & 10 am; this is priced at 13 € (children eat more cheaply, see our website)
All these facilities are offered to you at no extra charge (except breakfast), so no hidden costs afterwards...
Bed linens (beds made up by us upon your arrival), kitchen & bath linens, beach towel, bathrobe, taxes, energy consumption, (*) final cleaning are included.
(* we only expect good tidying up and vacuuming upon your departure)
We also offer you a welcome package upon arrival including: toilet paper, kitchen roll, spring water, fruit juice, some coffee capsules for the available Nespresso, wine, dish soap, etc...
Each gite is designed so that everyone can withdraw into complete peace and seclusion according to their own preference, and if desired, can still make contact with other possible guests.
We guarantee you a piece of paradise in an oasis of peace and you will probably, as we did back then, not be able to suppress the cry of "wow" just as we discovered this unique spot in 2005 and immediately made it our own...
Warm regards and see you soon?
Luc & Louisette Vandecasteele - Lievens
