A wonderful holiday home in the heart of France. A comfortable house that is fully equipped. It can accommodate up to 6 people. L'Arche is located in a quiet area near the Dordogne valley. And what is also a nice thought: Sioniac scores very high in terms of clean air; little particulate matter and air pollution. A wonderful feeling. You will find all amenities in the Sioniac area.

In the attractive living room you can watch all Dutch and foreign channels via satellite and landline. There is also a CD and DVD player. For the music lover: there is also an electric piano. When you sit at the table you can look out over the terrace at a beautiful landscape and in the evening you can enjoy the setting sun. A number of board games are stored in the coffee table for fun hours together.

The kitchen has all amenities such as oven, large refrigerator, induction hob, microwave (on the terrace). There is an extensive china cupboard to enjoy your cooking. You will also find a fondue set and table chef.

There are two bathrooms, 1 with bath, hand shower and sink. There is also a hairdryer. The washing machine and freezer are also located here. The second bathroom has a walk-in shower with a sink.
Two of the three bedrooms have a spacious double bed and the third bedroom has a pull-out bed that can also accommodate two people. There is sufficient storage space.
There is underfloor heating in every room and a large wood-burning stove in the living room that heats the entire house.
And all on the ground floor!

The surroundings of the house are equipped in such a way that you can stay anywhere. With no fewer than three terraces, you will always find a spot in the sun or in the shade. On the terrace at the rear there is a four-person lounge set and on the terrace on the other side there is a table with chairs for an attractive meal while enjoying the view. On the side there is also a terrace with table and chairs. There is a small and a large parasol.
To make you comfortable, there are comfortable patio chairs and a sun lounger.

The garden is approximately 2000 square meters. Since you are allowed to bring a maximum of 1 pet, this is a nice place for your pet to run around. Across the road is a forest of one and a half hectares that also belongs to the house.

It is a beautiful area with lots of variety. The nearest town is the medieval town of Beaulieu-sur-Dordogne. There are many facilities, hotels and restaurants there. Further down the Dordogne valley there are many more commercial activities with a Supermarche in Altillac and a Leclerc in Biars.

For golf enthusiasts, there is a beautiful golf course less than 10 kilometers away. In Beaulieu you can also rent canoes for a trip on the Dordogne.
At a greater distance there are beautiful areas such as the Auvergne, the Massif Central and some more lovely areas in the neighboring Dordogne department, with Sarlat as a tourist town visited by many Dutch people.

L'Arche is located just behind the town hall in Sioniac. As a result, the house is located on the edge of the village and yet in the countryside. It is located on the small road Le Claux, which only 2 neighbors use. You can see beautifully far away with multiple horizons. And experiencing the setting sun is a treat every time!

We built our new house in 2008 and we were lucky that our son is an architect. That is why the house is tailored to our taste and needs. There is a lot of light inside and the loft in the living room provides a spacious feeling. There are two large ceiling fans to provide cooling during hot days. But even on colder days it is wonderful to turn on the wood stove and enjoy a lively fire. The wood and energy are included in the price.

The kitchen is fully equipped and many things are stocked. We make an agreement with our tenants that you can use everything, but that you replenish it when it is used up. This way you don't have to go to the supermarket for everything!
L'Arche, which means ark, is located on top of the mountain (320 meters) and hence the choice of the name of the house.

We always enjoy ourselves when we are in Sioniac and ensure that the house is well maintained. Our caretaker Michel and his wife Fabienne will give you a warm welcome and ensure that everything is present and clean and the beds are ready for use.
They will also collect the deposit of 200 euros, which you will get back afterwards if everything is in order.
In short, everything is ready for a carefree stay in l'Arche!

We, Lucia and Henk Couwenberg, are the happy owners of l'Arche. We have built the house with great pleasure but also with toil and communication in 2008. Our son, who is an architect, took care of the design. We are very proud of our "Ark" and are happy to let our tenants enjoy it. Our caretaker Michel and his wife Fabienne ensure that everything runs smoothly and ensure a well-deserved holiday!
