About this property

Charming Country Cottage With Large Heated Pool In Monbazillac, near Bergerac

This stone built cottage consists of a large living room with a kitchen and dining area, one bedroom and a bathroom. It is attached to our traditional Perigordine farmhouse, but still maintains its independence. Situated on a plateau at the edge of the village of Monbazillac, it is an idyllic spot to sample the pleasures that the Dordogne has to offer and is conveniently located just 7 minutes from Bergerac airport. It has a lovely heated swimming pool (13m x 6m), shared with the owners, set below a rockery and not overlooked by the main house. One can walk through vines and woodland without leaving the property. The village of Monbazillac is quiet, dominated by its 16th century chateau and famous vineyards. Ten minutes away by car is the town of Bergerac, full of shops, supermarkets, cafes, restaurants, and of course, the beautiful old town (complete with Cyrano statues) and riverside port. There are markets on most days in the bastide towns, and night markets in the summer for local outdoor eating and drinking.

A lovely home from home in perfect location

This was a wonderful place, ideal both for relaxation and from which to explore the area. The location was so peaceful and the gite had everything that we could need. We loved having the pool and Martin, Gwen and family were the perfect considerate hosts with great recommendations on local restaurants and Caves. We’d definitely love to come back again, next time bringing the car to fill up on the amazing Monbazillac wines!

A new favourite Gite.

We were looking for a restful holiday and this Gite provided that. The location set amidst the vines with no immediate neighbours was ideal for us. Not only did the accommodation fully met our needs but the owners got the balance of friendliness and respecting our privacy just right. In our own assessment of all the Gites we have stayed in over the years we have now found a new number one in our list and highly recommend it. We will definitely be returning.

10 tage Urlaub / 10 day stay

wir waren 10 Tage bei Martin zu Gast und wurden herzlich empfangen. Er war immer da wenn er gebraucht wurde und sonst unaufdringlich und hilfsbereit und freundlich. Ein guter Gastgeber. Die Unterkunft war geräumig, bequem, sauber und mit allem erdenklichen ausgerüstet. Das Grundstück ist riesig und in einer wunderbaren, ruhigen Lage inmitten von Weinbergen mit einem beheizten Schwimmbad. Viele historische Sehenswürdigkeiten sind in einem Tagesausflug zu erreichen. Wir würden jederzeit wieder hier Urlaub machen. It may look like all the reviews are top notch but the reason is that there are very few places that deserve it , this little heaven is really all that you could wish for to rent for your holiday and deserved every star, it was a great stay , a great base from which to explore and a great host that give you alot of freedom on and around his property.

Entspannung in sehr ruhiger Umgebung

Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt auf dem riesigen, sehr gepflegten Grundstück in absoluter Ruhe sehr genossen. Das Haus bietet alles, was man für einen Urlaub braucht - auch für Selbstverpfleger ist alles Benötigte vorhanden. Direkt vom Grundstück aus lassen sich sowohl Wanderungen als auch Joggingrunden durch Weinberge und Waldstücke unternehmen. Auch wer lieber Kulturelles unternimmt oder den berühmten Monbazillac testen will, kommt hier voll auf seine Kosten.

Paradise

Lovely property full of character and charm. tastefully decorated and with everything you need. The tranquil setting is beautiful, just outside of Monbazillac and a few minutes from Bergerac and Issegiac. Martin is a fantastic host and we look forward to staying with him again. Martin if you wondered what we were doing on our last morning, we saw two hoopoe and were trying to get a decent photo! Thank you for everything, we had a super time.

Wonderful location!

From the moment we entered the property up a long gravel driveway, we were hooked. The main house and our attached gite sit on a hilltop on a bright grassy meadow surrounded by miles of vineyards, so there are no noisy neighbors or traffic noise anywhere nearby. A hiking trail around the area passes by the gite about fifty yards away, and by following the yellow blaizes you can do an hour loop around the village on foot that takes you up to the Chateau de Monbazillac and the wine tasting center on the grounds. Both are worth visiting for history and for delicious wine at not cost (try the 2011 Chateau Montbazillac -- so sweet and delicious it tastes like sherry). You can buy anything you taste there in the shop, of course. Our host Martin couldn't have been more welcoming and accommodating, and it was fun to hear his descriptions of the area. He provides his guests with a comprehensive guidebook in English and French that contains valuable information about everything from good local restaurants to using the Internet routers on the property. The week we spent here was the best of our three weeks in France -- relaxing, great weather, and lots of exploring the wine country.

About the host

Hosted by Martin

We moved here permanently in 2005, seeking a calmer lifestyle away from London.

Why they chose this property

The Dordogne area is already renowned for its gastronomic delights, especially the wine! We chose our house for its unique location - very close to Bergerac and its facilities, but at the same time completely secluded from neighbouring properties and roads.

What makes this property unique

We are perched on the Monbazillac plateau, hidden among our own vines. The most frequent comment we get from guests is the feeling of space all around the property. The pool is hidden from the main house and the gite, with a view over meadows leading to woods and vines.
