Beautiful gite in stunning countryside setting

A very pretty stone farmhouse in a lovely countryside setting. Beautifully decorated throughout, a charming gite in such a peaceful area. Perfect to get away from it all for a relaxing break. The little shop in Pont Saint Mamet (5 mins drive) is very handy for fresh bread and other bits and pieces. So many lovely towns and villages to visit nearby in what must be one of the most stunning locations anywhere. Marie and Robert met us at the house at the start of our stay and then at the end, very easy and organised. Hope to be back soon!

Wonderful, peaceful location, perfect for families

We had a lovely two week holiday in this beautiful farmhouse gite. After a nice welcome from Marie and Robert we enjoyed exploring the beautiful grounds which were perfect for our dog’s daily run. So many places to visit nearby (Pombonne Park lake in the early evening was a sociable place to spend a few hours after a day exploring), we enjoyed Bergerac city and the nearby Monbazillac Chateau (lovely wines to try), and we had fun visiting the wonderful French markets. We also explored a little further afield: paddle boarding on the Vezere and the amazing Gouffre Proumeyssac caves and park are well worth the trip. Thank you Marie and Robert for allowing us to use your lovely home and we would definitely love another visit another year.

A nice house in a very quiet area

The house is very nice, well-equipped and set in beautiful gardens. The area is very quiet - perhaps a little far from areas of interest in the Dordogne, though you are reasonably close to Perigueux and Bergerac if you need a small town, and there are villages with bakeries etc nearby (Pont St Mamet, Villamblard). For a decent sized supermarket, Vergt is not very far and has a nice Friday market. You really need a car (as mentioned on the listing). We found plenty of things to do in the region, as we know it quite well. It is very easy to access from Bergerac airport if you are flying in. One thing to consider is that unlike most holiday rentals (and many gites), there are basically no cooking materials (salt and pepper, oil, coffee, tea) provided for your arrival - so if you are coming from far away and (by plane) you will be heading straight to the supermarket. If you are coming from far and travelling light, sheets are not provided but can be paid for (as mentioned in the listing description), there are however no towels - so consider bringing them (not so easy on budget airlines). Also there is no WiFi - so don't assume that there is, and the countryside here has quite poor phone network. Overall, a nice place to stay for a quiet holiday - and easier if you are travelling from not so far away and can bring your own cooking supplies and towels.

Havre de paix bucolique

Une dizaine de jours reposants. Nous avons pu profiter de la région et des visites culturelles (châteaux, grottes, paysages) et d'activité sportive (canoë kayak). Le plus important reste le cadre de vie dans une belle maison chargée d'histoire avec un jardin immense et magnifique dans lequel il fait bon fait bon farnienter. Marie-France et son mari sont très accueillants et chaleureux, tout est était prêt à notre arrivée pour que nous passions un excellent séjour. Marie-France est par ailleurs très réactive pour les échanges par mails et apporte toutes les précisions nécessaires pour préparer son séjour.

Un très bel endroit où se poser et se reposer!

Savernat est un havre de paix, un petit coin de paradis où il fait bon se poser, au calme, dans la verdure. Nous avons tout aimé mais nous avons plus particulièrement apprécié les repas à l'ombre des tilleuls centenaires, le chant des cigales et les livres à disposition. Nous recommandons chaleureusement cet endroit plein de charme et cette région délicieuse à tout point de vue. Marie-France et Robert sont des hôtes prévenants et très accueillants et, dans le gîte, il y a tout ce qu'il faut, on s'y sent comme chez soi.

Absolutely Stunning location

This property is simply French and stands in an outstanding location looking across just the most fantastic countryside. It has easy access to Bergerac and all the main Dordogne tourist spots. But also it’s very much an area where you can experience real France with the beautiful villages, friendly locals and of course vineyards and wine in abundance. The hosts were fabulous and so helpful in every way. All in all a relaxing holiday with lots of opportunities to go and Explore. Highly recommend this property

Un havre de paix

Quel agréable séjour passé dans cette ancienne bâtisse typique du Périgord entourée d'un grand jardin arboré et fleuri d'une grande beauté. Un paradis romantique, prompt au repos et à la lecture et également un terrain de jeu idéal pour les enfants. Nous avons adoré les déjeuners dans la grande cour intérieure ensoleillée, abrités par les deux chênes centenaires avec comme seul horizon la nature verdoyante. Les couchers de soleils sont magnifiques. Au cours de notre séjour, nous avons visité Périgueux, Bergerac et les vignobles de Montbazillac. Tout cela à moins d'1/2 heure en voiture de la propriété. Je recommande ces lieux historiques. Les propriétaires sont d'une gentillesse absolue. La propreté des lieux et les literies sont irréprochables. La maison est toute équipée pour la cuisine, le lavage. Nous y reviendrons !

Des jours heureux

Séjour très agréable dans cette magnifique demeure ancienne entourée d'un écrin de verdure et de fleurs. Très propre, bien équipée et confortable. La décoration à l'ancienne est chaleureuse et de bon goût. Accueil très sympathique, explications précises sur la maison et conseils sur les sites touristiques à visiter (documentation à disposition). A noter la petite épicerie boulangerie, à Pont saint Mamet, à 2 kms, très pratique (on y trouve de tout) et le pain y est délicieux. Très calme et reposant, idéal pour se ressourcer au sein de la nature, loin de l'agitation de la ville. A conseiller.

Un souvenir inoubliable !

Vacances très agréables dans cette belle maison pleine de charme, encore tout imprégnée d'histoires à imaginer..., aménagée avec goût et très propre. Merveilleux jardin qui offre sérénité, couleurs, senteurs et chants d'oiseaux. Soirées très reposantes sous la fraîcheur appréciée des vieux tilleuls au retour des nombreuses visites de cette région qui possède une richesse patrimoniale et gastronomique fantastique. Pains et viennoiseries succulents à la petite boulangerie locale. Que du bonheur pour ce séjour trop court ! Merci encore pour votre chaleureux accueil.
