This house is as good as it gets. Everything you want is there and the village is lovely but not on the main tourist trail.
Many thanks Bruce for all your help.

This house satisfies all the requirements for a relaxed, enjoyable stay: easy access by car with parking next to house. Lovely walk to mideaval central village with shops and restaurants. Great central location for day tripping. House is comfortable and functional but not fussy so you can relax and enjoy the space. Wonderful balcony with table overlooking the countryside for coffee/cocktails/dinner. The owners are fantastic to work with.
Nestled in the residential part of a small French hillside village, lovely valley views whilst having breakfast and evening wine & cheese on the balcony. Belves is a delightful little community with all the characteristics of typical rural life. The only disappointment was the village bakery had closed down so had to drive a short distance to pick up our morning croissants and baguette for breakfast. Seven days of great weather, a chateau wedding, visits to Sarlat (markets on Wed & Sat ) and Monpazier (Thurs ) are highly recommended, the latter having a lovely wineshop- bought some delightful local wines enjoyed on the balcony + supplies to bring home.
The house is situated in a quiet street 10 minutes walk from the town square with shops, restaurants and bars.
The house itself has everything you need for a comfortable stay and a balcony off the dining room with stunning views of the town and across the countryside. We spent much of our time in the house here as it was just such a beautiful view !
The master bedroom is large with a sitting area and TV it also provides great views of the local area.
The sitting room was good to relax in with lots of seating and provided a cooler space when the weather was hot outside.
Having the 'House Book' with information on how to use all the equipment in the kitchen and explaining how to operate the TV, DVD player etc was a great help. We very much appreciated the information we received from the host prior to our visit about things to do nearby. This information was also available in the house with lots of useful maps and suggestions.
The host was super to work with answering our queries prior to arrival and providing the instructions on how to get to the property and gain access well in advance.
We had a fantastic holiday and very much look forward to returning to Belves.
The house is just couple of minutesâ walk from the center of Belves. The view from the kitchen/dining room is magnificent.
Everything was clean but requires some upgrades. The main disappointment is not having dishwasher.
Great location with short walk to centre of very pretty village. Extremely well equipped quirky house with plenty of character. Perigord noir is an excellent location to visit. The communal meal in the market square in BELVES every Wednesday evening is not to be missed.
The house is in a beautiful old street with the back terrace view over the most
beautiful view over the unbeleivable country side. The village has a history dating back to prehistoric times. Les Lucarnes more than came up to all ones expectation - amenities- clean and beautifully furnished and very well managed by the neighbour who was on call for any help that may have been
required. Super market Saturday am restaurants just so many to choose from - all just great. Intention to revisit as it is just so wonderful. Coffee shops open early and all the residents were very happy so see us. Loved the house and the garden below. The house library - great. Can't make any
suggestions as obviously everythin had been thought through by the present
owners. THANK YOU for a wonderful stay
Impressive view from the balcony. The master bedroom of this place is also impressive. Enjoyed walks around town, trying & buying local food, & drives to nearby, fascinating medieval villages -- Domme, Sarlat, Monpazier & a visit to Beynac castle. Totally loved it all.

Well equipped, beautifully located house.
This was a perfect base for us with our 2 and 7 year old. Lots of space, amazing views out over the valley, we really enjoyed staying here.
We are an Australian couple with a love of French culture, food, wine and history. Over a decade ago ago we were able to purchase our own piece of France with the cottage in Burgundy. Recently the opportunity arose to purchase two additional cottages we've always enjoyed staying at, in Dordogne and Provence, so we can now offer holiday accommodation is three of France's most delightful regions.
