Unique benefits of this property include experiencing the feeling of authentique Perigordine style and charm--with all period features preserved--but renovated for modern living. Also, your stay comes with a complete customized itinerary to remove the guesswork "what will we do today?" The location is within the "golden triangle" of the Perigord Noir - ideal for experiencing all of the sites that are popular with tourists. You won't find yourself driving 10 miles down the same winding road every day to finally reach a connecting route. If you have children, the proximity to Audrix (swimming park, night markets, and horseback riding) are ideal. Saint Cyprien, Coux, and Siorac (all 3-5 miles driving) have all restaurants, bars, morning and evening markets, and supermarkets that you need. Many feel that staying in or near Sarlat is the prime location but Sarlat is located at the eastern side of the valley. We adore Sarlat, but Saint Cyprien, in our opinion, is more central. Watch out the traffic in Sarlat during July and August can be dreadful! Still, reaching Sarlat from our gîte is only 25 minutes and a lovely drive along the hillside ridge, or through the valley. Finally, the best reward of all at the Gîte Le Recoux: quiet, calm, 360-degree views, warm sun on your face all day long with a south-facing position, and a simple, lovely cottage with everything you need for your stay. Enjoy!
