Your Own Petit Chateau en Dordogne, piscine et tennis!

This place is wonderful. If you have a large family or are multiple couples this is the best place to stay near the medieval village of Sarlat. It is only 6 km from the town so perfectly located but in quiet, secluded countryside. The view from the master bedroom and bathroom is fabulous across a valley with woodlands and farms in the distant. In hot weather--which we experienced from the middle of June, the swimming pool is a godsend. The rooms are tastefully decorated and comfortable and the bathrooms--especially the master bathroom on the first floor is fabulous with bath, nice enclosed shower, great view and lots of storage space. The living room is comfortable although the chairs and sofa could use a bit of refurbishing. The kitchen functional although the two half size (European) refrigerators are small. About 4-5 terraces so can eat outside in nice weather. Parking spaces for 2 cars.

Nothing in this world is perfect and there are a few (correctable) flaws--First, the internet is not very good. Doesn't seem to work at all on ground floor outside the living room and kitchen/dining room Our impression is that he internet in general in France (whether in Paris or countryside) in general is lousy and the thick stone walls don't help (although keep you cool in hot summer!) but contributing may be what seems to be a very old router that should be replaced with a new more powerful one. Second in warm weather this is bug heaven. Swimming pool gets filled with them because uncovered--owner says he's been trying to get proper sized cover that used to be on there but disintegrated but having difficulty. Hopefully will replace it soon. Not sure French use screens at all but a screen on the master bedroom would allow window to be open more often without bugs.

Otherwise this place is truly wonderful for multiple guests and shouldn't be missed. Owners are very responsive to emails etc and a very good cleaning staff comes once/week on Saturdays, same for gardener, and swimming pool maintainer. All speak English.

We spent a wonderful two weeks with family and our oldest friends in this beautiful house. The tower and its circular staircase was a big draw for our teenage son; and aperitifs at the top every evening a highlight for the adults as we watched hot air balloons gently drifting across the valley. The house was very comfortable and each bedroom having its own bathroom was a bonus. The location was ideal for us, near Sarlat with many places to see - Beynac was our personal favourite - and things to do within easy reach. The owners were very helpful before we arrived and quick to answer any queries too. We couldn't have wished for more and were sad that we had to leave.

Romantic and charming old little castle. Many possibilities to have breakfast or dinner outside even on top of the little tower. Lovely views on the nature around the property.

The Petit Chateau " Maison Grise" exceeded our expectations in every way. We were there for a week in late July to celebrate our daughter's 30th birthday. The accommodation was perfect for 8 people with 4 bedrooms with their own ensuites. All bedrooms had spectacular views over the valley, with the main bedroom ensuite offered the most picturesque view from the huge bathtub! The tower offered a great spot for Aperitif and panoramic view of the sunset. The gardens were truly beautiful and well thought of with some mature fruit trees, as well as interesting flowers and shrubs. The water lillies were all out in blooms in the fish pond under a charming stone bridge.The good size and well maintained pool kept us entertained most afternoon. The kitchen, laundry and other facilities were ample for a week stay. The tennis court over the road would have been more utilized if there were 4 racquets! The location was great for Sarlat and other sightseeings. We went to the market on Wednesday and Chateau de Beynac, which was only 20 mins away. We even took a trip to St. Emilion for lunch one day! We'd love to return one day if we could round up enough people to join us again! Thank you Charles and Anne for sharing your lovely home.

Gorgeous house, very well appointed, great bedrooms and bathrooms. There is a comfy, open, cozy ground floor area containing dining, kitchen and living areas with 2 big fireplaces at each end. The size of the house was perfect for 8. The surroundings of the property are delightful in their diversity of flowers, bushes, trees, all dispersed among the different terraces. This lovely home, wonderfully located 6 km from the little medieval town of Sarlat in Perigord, has a spirit, and it is a welcoming and joyful one. I really hope that we will have the opportunity to return for another stay in this little paradise.
