A very spacious and comfortable property in the heart of the old town. I imagine in peak season it would be very noisy. The only point I would make is the pillows on the bed were thin and old and in need of replacing. Otherwise no expense has been spared, washing machine and dryer and fully equipped kitchen made the stay almost perfect!
Excellent home base for visit to Sarlat and the Dordogne
Located in the heart of the medieval town. Busy with tourists during day and evening, however, early morning or late evening, wonderful area to wander.
Steven met us upon arrival making check in easy. Directed us to a free car park five minute walk from apartment.
Hope to return to Sarlat one day and would stay here again.
Highly recommend.
We stayed at The Pivione for a week and had a wonderful time the location of the apartment in Sarlat was fantastic. An easy walk to everything even the free parking is just a 5 minute walk away.
we had a great time shopping in the markets, cooking and relaxing in the amazing kitchen, and enjoying a glass of wine on the balcony that overlooks a beautiful historic street watching the world go by.
Would very much like to return to Sarlat one day and would defiantly stay here again.
Highly recommend.
We looked forward to staying in this flat for awhile and were not disappointed.
We found that it had all of the charm of the old town. It's nicely furnished, new appliances with a balcony over the square for lunch or evening wine. There was a handy notebook with good information and many pamphlets with info for cave and castle hopping. Check in and out with Steve the manager.was easily arranged. Thank you Mark and Sharon
This apartment is amazing! The property itself is perfect. It is inviting, enchanting, and very well equipped! I could live here.
The apartment is right in the center of the old part of town and is actually very quiet at night. Cannot think of anything that needs to be improved. Loved sitting on the balcony overlooking everything! Thank you Mark and Sharon for allowing us to enjoy your place. We hope to be back soon!
We stayed 6 days at this VRBO in the center of Sarlat. The description of the property does not do it justice. It is much larger than we expected with every amenity first class.
The location is the best in Sarlat. An easy walk to everything. Even the free parking is just a 5 minute walk away.
From the heating to the kitchen utilities the appliances are top notch.
The property manager met us on time and gave us all we needed to enjoy the appartment and the town.
If you are considering a visit to Sarlat, rush to book this property before it is sold out
This apartment was a destination in itself! We enjoyed the centuries old âgreat roomâ with its balcony overlooking a juncture of small streets in the historical district. The apartment is well maintained and furnished. The remodeling of the large kitchen and bathroom is super lovely and meticulously done to a high standard. You will not be disappointed booking a stay in this prime location!
We stayed for 4 days and really enjoyed our time in the apartment. Great time shopping in the markets, cooking in the large kitchen and eating /relaxing on the fantastic balcony that overlooks a beautiful historic street. Great communicative hosts and easy/efficient check-in and check-out. Overall a comfortable and lovely historic apartment in a great part of the city. Highly Recommend!
Another wonderful week at our favorite place in Sarlat-la Caneda!
We love this apartment in the heart of Sarlat-la Caneda! It is spacious and comfortable and we love both the convenience of the location and the views from the windows and the balcony!
Unsere Erfahrung war leider weniger gut als die der meisten hier: Die Kommunikation mit den Vermietern war missverstĂ€ndlich, und aufgrund unklarer Ankunftszeit drohte man uns mit erfundenen ZusatzgebĂŒhren oder damit, uns am Abend nicht mehr hereinzulassen.
Sehr Ă€rgerlich ist, dass die Wohnung (trotz entsprechender Angabe!) ĂŒber keinen Parkplatz verfĂŒgt, und es in Sarlat extrem schwierig ist, einen Parkplatz zu finden.
Auch sonst wurden die Erwartungen nicht erfĂŒllt: Das Waschbecken war verstopft, die Wohnung mittelmĂ€Ăig sauber, das Internet funktionierte nicht richtig, und in der Wohnung ist es aufgrund der Lage sehr laut.
Die Wohnung ist typisch amerikanisch eingerichtet mit groĂer KĂŒche und hochwertigen GerĂ€ten, aber etwas mangelhafter Ausstattung und wenig Liebe zum Detail. Das Bad ist Ă€lter, das Bett relativ wackelig, man kann nicht so gemĂŒtlich sitzen.
Die Wohnung liegt mitten im Ort, was bedeutet, dass es von morgens bis nachts relativ laut ist und sich groĂe Menschengruppen unter dem Balkon vorbeischieben.
Von uns leider keine Empfehlung.
We have just spent two weeks in this wonderful property. You feel like you are living in living in a Medieval Castle. Sarlat is one of the most unique cities in Europe. It looks like the 16th century with modern conveniences. Mark and Sharon are the perfect landlords keeping you highly informed about every possible detail. Your contact in Sarlat is Steve and he is excellent also.
The apartment has a balcony that looks out over the square in Sarlat where you can watch all the excitement of the weekly markets. Mark and Sharon have updated the apartment with very modern bath and kitchen.
We highly recommend this apartment and hope to return ourselves real soon.
A superb flat, exactly as portrayed in publicity. However we were unaware that in July and August street entertainers are licensed to perform in front of cathedral until 11 pm, speakers blaring out music at full volume, frequently until much later. We therefore had the choice of closing bedroom windows in the stifling heat, or leaving them open and being unable to sleep because of the noise - The only downside, but a significant one - Pity!

A gem in the heart of Sarlat
La Pivoine is a wonderful,characterful apartment situated in the heart of Sarlat. The apartment is spacious, comfortable and beautifully presented and we totally relaxed and enjoyed all that Sarlat had to offer. We awoke on the Saturday morning to the sounds and beautiful aromas of the Saturday market. What a treat!
Thank you Sharon and Mark for being wonderful hosts. Also to Steve who made the checkin process so easyđ
We loved this place, located in a very old building with high ceilings and antique furniture. It is highly recommended. Best feature was one of the few balconies in town where we ate all our meals. There is also a large well equipped kitchen. From the balcony you look down on an old square with constant activity. We ended up eating most of meals at the place because of the setting. On market days we woke up to the wonderful smells of food being prepared under our window. The town of Sarlat is a charming old market town which still has markets on Saturday and Wednesday. It is close to many great sites in the Dordogne including prehistoric cave art, old castles, gardens, and quaint villages. We even canoed down the Dordogne. We will return. Mark and Sharon are wonderful hosts and very helpful.
We had a great time at Mark and Sharon's apartment! Amazing view of the square, beautiful street, LOTS of room! Arrived on Friday, so were there for Market Day on Saturday - what a scene! We loved it! Perfect place for touring the Dordogne area!
We had a wonderful week in this lovely property in the centre of medieval Sarlat. Check in instructions were easy to follow and communications with Steve were excellent. The apartment was very large, well appointed and airy. The bed was very comfortable and we enjoyed having the balcony area for drinks etc. The free car parking was only a short walk and perfectly safe. All in all we can thoroughly recommend this property.
We stayed in Sarlat for four nights at La Pivoine. It was fantastic. The apartment is very large and we thoroughly enjoyed staying here. The balcony was the best part--sitting there sipping wine and watching the world go by. Heaven. Everything is within walking distance--restaurants, wine stores etc. The location could not be better. Although, we only ate breakfasts here, it was great to have a fully equipped kitchen. We especially enjoyed having a washer and dryer as we had been traveling for about a week and half and needed to do laundry. Very convenient. The location could not be better. Their property manager met us right on time to give us the keys and review details of the apartment. We found parking nearby for free and that was not an issue for us. It's about a 5 minute walk away. We thoroughly enjoyed walking through the market on Saturday morning. There is an apartment above La Pivoine so at times you can hear people talking and walking around. You will not be disappointed if you stay here. They have thought of everything to make this a very special place to vacation.
Sharon and Mark have traveled the world together for thirty years. When they visited Sarlat, they fell in love with the yellow stone of its buildings. The people of Sarlat were so warm and friendly. Immediately, they knew they would live there. La Pivoine is their home in France.
Having fallen in love with Sarlat, Sharon and Mark searched for years to find just the right place. It was not enough to live in Sarlat -- the house had to be a home with character. It had to be in the historic center. It had to have the honey-colored stone of the city. On the cathedral square, La Pivoine is that home. Sharon and Mark hope that, when they must be away, you can enjoy the home and the city as much as they do.
La Pivoine is a large, light, space that is simultaneously airy and substantial. It is centrally located on the cathedral square and it has a balcony that overlooks the square, a rare thing in Sarlat. One can go for extended periods of time without a car. Sarlat has two wonderful market days each week -- Saturday and Wednesday -- right outside the front door. The train station is within walking distance.
