Great stay for two weeks as a family with 3yr old and baby. Extensive grounds to front and rear of chalet (v private) and great pool (although the decking could be updated as we had a couple of splinter incidents!). Owner Severine v helpful throughout with some minor issues and was clear to highlight that no pool guard for our 3yr old at time of booking. Sarlat is a fairly steep but short walk away and beautiful (if touristy) old town.
The house is very striking and very comfortable and well-equipped. There is an extensive garden with lovely views and a very good swimming pool. It is about ten minutes' walk to the centre of town, along a pleasant footpath. Sarlat itself is an extremely attractive town.
Wonderful, quiet and comfortable place for a family holiday
Beautiful house in perfect situation; in a quiet garden on secluded hillside, not overlooked at all, but 10 minutes walk into Sarlat. House very well equipped, and pool one of the very best we have experienced.
The building is wonderful, almost apiece of art, with overlapping and interlocking timbers. We loved the open plan downstairs space
Very welcoming host, just a call away if there were any problems (which there weren't)
We were there with 4 adults and two children, 6 months and 3 years, and all enjoyed it; we would seriously consider going back, and strongly recommend to anyone else with the same combination
Downsides? Steep spiral staircase could be a problem with toddlers or the elderly, but not much else. Overall 5 star
Wonderful open plan wooden house in a great location
House set in a delightful prominent position only 10 minutes walk from the beautiful medieval town of Sarlat. Open plan in design the house offers spacious and characterful accommodation with all modern amenities including a superb pool. We particularly liked the extensive grounds (and associated wildlife) giving a very rural but secluded feel. The owners are very helpful and pleased to assist if required. Great holiday had by all with much to see and do - a place we will definitely return to in the future and strongly recommend.
Property is perfectly located for making the most of Sarlat, and also for exploring the key sites in the Dordogne. Property is comfortable and well equipped and although right on the edge of Sarlat (10 mins walk at most into town) is situated in nice grounds so feels private.
Thoroughly enjoyed our week here.
Very charming and inspiring house, everything you could possibly want, beautiful location and very peaceful & relaxing. It really is a short walk into Sarlat, which is vibrant and entertaining town. Highly recommended!
We had a fantastic holiday (family of 5). We were met and greeted warmly by the owner. The house is beautiful and very special. It is well equipped and provides everything you need. It is set in a large garden with loads of wildlife we saw a deer and her young in the garden one evening. The house is not overlooked and offers great privacy. It's a stroll from the town of Sarlat which is beautiful. Would definitely recommend this house and hope to return ourselves someday.
The owner provided a proper rental agreement confirming all the terms and conditions.
As a family we have taken regular gitte holidays over the past 20 years & whilst some properties have disappointed this one didn't fall into that catergory.
The only negative would be the rather vauge directions to find the property. Other than that the stay was wonderful.
The owner lives near by - but is unobtrusive & totally charming.
Location wise, you really are only 10 minutes walk from the centre of Sarlat - although it took a little longer to wander back in the evenings!
The property was clean & well equipped, with loads of character. It was a touch warm upstairs at night, but then the weather was fabulous.
Plenty of room outside in the private garden, with a lovely pool.
Really couldn't fault this as a holiday home - we would happily return for another 2 weeks.
Dieses Ferienhaus ist sehr zu empfehlen. Das Haus liegt an einem Hang auf einem RiesengrundstĂŒck in einer tollen Gartenanlage. Es ist eigentlich uneineinsehbar aber man hat einen tollen Blick auf Sarlat und die Umgebung. Das HĂĄus macht einen sehr gepflegten Eindruck, die technischen GerĂ€te sind allesamt in Ordung (DVD-Player, TV, Pay TV Orange, WiFi).Das Haus ist sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtet, viele AntiqutitĂ€ten, so wie auf den Bildern dargestellt. Die Abwicklung mit dem Mietvertrag und die Bezahlung des Mietpreises / Kaution wurde problemlos abgewickelt. Die Kontaktaufnahme mit der Vermieterin war einfach hervorragend (Austausch ĂŒber SMS, e-mail, Post). Der Ortskern von Sarlat ist in 10 Minuten zu FuĂ erreichbar, Somit kann man zu jederzeit in Sarlat shoppen oder Bars und Restaurants aufsuchen, meine Empfehlung ist das Le Presidial. Nochmals meinen herzlichen Dank an die Familie S. Goupiel. Wir haben hier eine tolle Woche verbracht (2 Ehepaare). Ich kann dieses Haus nur empfehlen und falls ich noch einmal nach Sarlat komme, dann kenne ich bereits mein Domizil. Ich freue mich schon darauf.
