Gîte / Cottage


Gite "Merlot" is built in authentic style, large holiday home which can accommodate 10 people.

The gite is about 125 m². There are 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. A characteristic house full of comfort, space and style. On the ground floor a large living room, dining room with large dining table, fully equipped kitchen, separate toilet downstairs. On the first floor are 4 double bedrooms and two bathrooms.
Central to the upper floor is another staircase to the mezzanine, the 5th bedroom with two single beds. 

Through the patio doors you enter the gite into the kitchen (there is a coffee machine, kettle, toaster, hob, oven, microwave and dishwasher) and living room with sitting area with sofa and comfortable chairs around the wood stove.

A spacious garden all around with garden furniture, terrace with dining table and chairs, both in front and behind the house. There is also a large swimming pool available.
 
The gites are very rural in the middle of nature, forests and meadows. Roses color and smell along the old walls, there are several fruit trees that you can harvest from when the time comes. Eat outside on the terrace or lawn, light the barbecue or enjoy the sunset with a glass of wine and cheese. The song of the many birds or the owls in the evening and night form your "background music".

A cooling splash in the pool is possible at any time of the day. There are sunbeds in the garden and by the pool to enjoy the sun.
Wifi is available.

Location & area recommendations

Additional information

The Dordogne is characterized by rolling hills, green meadows, beautiful sunflower fields, vineyards in abundance and varied extensive forest areas.
Various streams and rivers meander through the landscape. Small and large lakes are scattered in the landscape.
The summer climate is exquisite, sunny and warm. The people are very friendly

Medieval villages and towns invite you to visit. Centuries-old houses, churches, castles and monumental buildings take you back in time.
Among other things, Brantome, also known as the Venice of the Dordogne, is worth a visit. Or Perigueux, a Gallo-Romanesque city with its cozy narrow streets in the center and historic buildings.
Sarlat, center of the Périgord, the entire city center is a monument in itself.
Bergerac is a centre of wine culture, with over 12 appellations.

Step back in time and visit one of the many caves with stalactite formations, cave houses, murals, etc. For example, Grottes de Villars, Grotte de Rouffignac, La Roque St Christophe. Castles built on rocks, in prominent places in the landscape, against a mountainside or in a cave... Discover the life of the former lords, knights and damsels.

The nature of the Dordogne, Perigord, invites you to get out and about.
Cycling (we have 5 bikes with 21 gears available!), mountain biking on well-marked routes, walking through the endless forests. In many places along the rivers you can rent canoes, a large natural lake is near the gites, fun on and in the water.
Go-karting, quad biking, golf and horseback riding are also possible in the immediate vicinity
Around us are many vineyards and wineries where you can taste and buy wine "à la proprité".

Weekly markets, including those of Piegut and Thiviers, are very famous. You can also visit antique markets and flea markets.

This part of the Dordogne, Perigord limousine, is famous for its Limousine beef.
Let it be prepared in the local restaurants. Foie gras, truffles, chestnuts, nuts, Périgord cheese and duck breast... it's all on the map.
