Very good

Paul, the owner of this property is a lovely guy and was a very friendly host. However on arrival, on close inspection you could not describe the accommodation anything other than dirty. During our journey to the property we were looking forward to just kicking off our shoes, opening a couple of beers and jumping into the swimming pool, however we ended up having to scrub and clean for 6 hours just to make the place habitable. Unfortunately, probably our own fault not doing sufficient research, we found the property just a little too remote. However on the plus side that made it lovely and quiet for relaxing by the pool.
Parfait! ... c'est la première fois où nous trouvons une location où tout est compris (draps, linge de maison ... etc ), ce qui enlève tout soucis d'installation ... et en plus, une attention particulière du propriétaire, soit le cadeau de bienvenue (vins, fromage, œufs ... etc) ... le must.
Gîte spacieux et très bien équipé, situé dans un lieu calme et reposant, idéal pour visiter à notre rythme, tous les splendides petits villages environnant.
Nous avons passé d'excellente vacances

About the host
Hosted by Paul Mouradian
Having purchased our Maison de Maitre in summer 2006, my wife and I moved permanently to Gabillou the following year. Since then as a keen musician (among other things), I established myself in the local music and art scene. We developed our gite over the first year and opened for business in 2011. I am always keen to meet new people and be able to introduce them to local life in the Dorodgne. As people often say - we are "living the dream!"
Why they chose this property
If you want a restful stay, quietly taking in the sun or our relaxing swimming pool and grounds (with little or no traffic), in the midst of the Perigord Noir countryside, then look no further. If you would like to sample the famous pre-historic grottos or beautiful Medieval towns or even to laze on the river Vezere or Dordogne, then these are all reachable within reasonable driving distances away (our county town: Perigueux is only 25 mins away)
What makes this property unique
We welcome couples. So the whole gite , gardens and pool are yours to relax in or explore (no sharing of anything!)
