Wonderful house 5 minutes from town

We had a wonderful 10 days in this beautiful home. The house was very spacious and well equipped with everything we needed for our stay. The walking path from the front door took us into Sarlat in just 5 minutes. Sophie was very responsive to any questions we had and provided us with some suggestions for restaurants in town. We would highly recommend this house.

Beautiful house in the medieval city of Sarlat

A wonderful location overlooking the medieval city. A short walk to the centre. The nicest and best quipped property we've ever stayed in, spotlessly clean and beautifully decorated. Sophie was on hand for any help or recommendations. Would throughly recommend this property. Neil & Jackie.

Fabulous

This is clearly a 5-star property both in a lovely removed, private setting yet mere steps from the old town. The cottage is lovingly crafted and very up to date. I was sorry not to have a "welcome notebook" with a history of the property as that would have been entirely fascinating. And although we figured everything out, a "user's guide" attached to that notebook would have been helpful. It is a spectacular property and was a joy to experience.

Excellent stay in Sarlat

A short walk down the hill to middle of town made it easy to visit restaurants,shops and a grocery store. The house was roomy and quite comfortable. The one shower was in the washroom on the first floor away from the bedrooms but we worked around that easily. The one suggestion would be that a booklet outlining the use of the home eg where to put the garbage, how to operate TV, favorite restaurants etc. would be helpful. But Sophie answered all our question promptly. Overall a great stay.

Sophie’s place

Sophie’s house was a perfect place for two couples. There was lots of space and it was well equipped. The location is great. It is a short walk to the centre of the town via a walking path. Although it is close to the city centre it feels very rural and is quiet. We had beautiful weather so we enjoyed eating breakfast and dinner out on the patio.

Fabulous house in a great location!

Sophie’s house was very pretty, extremely well equipped and spacious. It was only a short walk into the centre of Sarlat and there was plenty of outside space and garden furniture. It is little difficult to find as it is hidden down the driveway so a direction map would be useful. However, this did not detract from a wondeful stay. Highly recommended!!

Nice stay

Lovely property, very well equipped and clean. Five minute walk down steps and a path into the centre of Sarlat. Very convenient. Clearer instructions on how to locate the property would be helpful. Good parking down the steep driveway, best to reverse. Sophie answered any queries I had very quickly by email.

Lovely home steps from Sarlat center

My husband and I spent 2 weeks in this spacious, well appointed home. It is a very short walk into town where there were numerous restaurants and markets. The two market days were perfect for providing us with good fresh foods and wines. The surrounding area is filled with small medieval villages to explore that are a short drive away. Sarlat is charming, well maintained and a perfect base to explore The Dordogne region. Sophie is a responsive host and has offered a charming home. This was our third trip to the french countryside and Sophie's cottage was by far our favorite rental. The outdoor terrace was ideal for watching the hot air balloons float by with a glass of french wine in hand.

Fabulous position

A wonderful position right above the centre of Sarlat,, just five minutes walk down a little path. The gite was beautifully clean and welcoming with everything one needs. There are no hanging facilities in the second bedroom, not even a rail to hang a shirt on, and oddly enough, three of the lamps had no globes in them. Sophie was helpful and welcoming and guided us to the house which is a bit hard to find. A great place to stay when visiting lovely Sarlat.

Road trip

We enjoyed our stay. The house was comfortable and well located. There were some mice running about and we did find droppings in the bed, although the house was otherwise very clean and well appointed. We would have liked some coffee left in the cabinet at least for the first morning and the bedroom could use some hooks for clothes or coats. Otherwise it's well stocked with kitchenware etc. We particularly enjoyed the outdoor seating area for coffee or wine and cheese. And it was a quick easy walk into town. The owner was quick to answer my questions and easy to work with.

Storybook house overlooking the rooftops of Sarlat

We loved staying in this charming house. In peak season its location a bit up and away from the hub of activity would be greatly appreciated as the only noises we heard were a bit of rain and birds singing. A ten minute walk to town with a darling terrasse both front and back. The beamed ceilings and all of the furnishings have so much character! Sophie was lovely and gave us a list of suggested restaurants in the area. Giving the house a name (such as Reve de Sophie) would make it easier to find it initially as there is no house number. It is just above Parking DesMourets. We highly recommend it!!

Another fantastic stay chez Sophie

We returned to this lovely property after two fantastic weeks last year, and had another amazing two weeks. The location is indeed literally five minutes from the centre of Sarlat, great for getting breakfast croissants and pains au chocolat from the market. The kitchen is excellently equipped compared to the average holiday let, which was great for making meals when not eating out. The house is surprisingly roomy, and was great for our family of four with 16 and 14yr old boys. Sarlat is a perfect location for a holiday - swimming and kayaking/canoeing nearby on the Vezere (gorgeous!) and Dordogne (equally gorgeous but more people) were particularly great in the heat. Sophie was a fantastic, helpful and friendly host once again. Merci beacoup!

Wonderful Place to Stay in Sarlat

We are on an extended vacation in France during May. We have stayed in several great VRBOs along the way, the the property in Sarlat is head and shoulders above the rest. Sarlat is a beautiful medieval town with a thriving old town center with shops, restaurants, brasseries, and wonderful fresh bread, cheese, and vegetables. The problem is that parking in town is a nightmare. When we first came to Sarlat, before we could get into the VRBO property, we had to park about a 20 minute downhill walk from city center. That was OK but the 40 minute walk uphill was really difficult. The VRBO property has its own parking spot (if your brave enough to back down the driveway) but is only a short walk down to city center. It was like stying in our own little French villa. The house is immaculate and very beautifully appointed. It has a good-sized kitchen and two big bedrooms. I rate this property as one of the top VRBO properties at which I’ve ever stayed. Very highly recommend this one.
