A beautiful, peaceful retreat set in stunning countryside
We have just spent the most wonderful week at Bernard's gite, âLes Mauvesâ in the tiny, pretty village of Berbiguieres in the Dordogne. Bernard is a delightful host, friendly and welcoming but discreet and respectful of the privacy of his guests. The gite is well equipped, clean and comfortable and the pool is beautiful and completely private; deep and long enough to do some good swimming and surrounded by trees and flowers. There are numerous walks through woodlands, chateaus and spectacular caves (les grottes) to visit and all within very easy reach of the gite. The small, hillside town of St Cyprien is about 4k away with its narrow streets, restaurants and shops. There is so much to see and do but we found ourselves spending long periods of time enjoying the seclusion and peace of the gite and itâs surroundings. We hope to visit again soon.
