This large apartment is situated right below the castle in Beynac. Be forewarned: the village is built on a very steep hillside, and the route to this apartment is just that, steep. Free parking is provided down the hill, and your hostess will meet you there and drive up to the apartment in her tiny car that fits in the narrow streets, but the rest of the time, you will be walking until you leave, when the process is repeated in reverse. Our hostess, Paula, was a gem. She was cheery, helpful, and quick to respond to our requests. The rooms are spacious, well appointed, and very comfortable. The kitchen could be better stocked with cooking utensils, but when we asked, we were given what we needed to cook. Best of all is the view of the Dordogne river and the surrounding valley -- spectacular. With good weather, many hot air balloons add to the spectacle, as do the canoes drifting down the river. The cost is very reasonable, as well.
