About this property

Grand but Friendly Mansion with Heated Pool and Tranquil Garden to Amaze You

If your dream holiday house in France is one within easy walking distance of the boulangerie yet a haven of peace, then this imposing 18th century mansion, situated in the centre of the little town of Riberac, is for you. The walled garden is safe for children and the proximity to local entertainment means you do not have to run a teenage taxi service or take turns to drive at night, giving you the makings of real fun and relaxation for all. The main entrance is through double front doors into a large chandelier-lit, tiled hall with the main reception rooms to right and left. Through the back there is a courtyard, and beyond this is the heated pool and a long terrace with electric awning. From this the garden creeps up a small hillside giving superb views over the town and countryside providing glorious tranquillity for adults and a safe adventure playground for the young. By contrast the Friday market and main square, with restaurants and bars, and the high street are all a short walk

A lovely stay in the dordogne

We were just delighted with our stay here in Riberac. The house is as gorgeous as it looks in the photos. Every room beautifully decorated with its own character. it is grand but very comfortable, we especially enjoyed gathering in the kitchen and the living room as well as by the pool. The pool is lovely in itself, but the gorgeous garden surrounding it makes it spectacular. The location is also terrific for visiting the many fascinating sites of the region while offering the easy convenience of local shops. We also cannot say enough about Judith, our host, who was extremely helpful and accommodating throughout our stay. We highly recommend this property. We were a large group and there was ample room. Thank you Judith for introducing us to the Dordogne in spectacular fashion.

Jolie maison mais des soucis

Une belle maison mais tout près d'une église qui fait sonner les cloches très fort plusieurs fois par jour, quasiment à chaque heure dès 7 ou 8h le matin et très longuement. La maison est située en plein centre ville ce qui ne se voit pas sur les photos. Les deux plus grandes chambres donnent sur la rue qui est très bruyante dès le matin. Le service n'est donc pas vraiment en rapport avec le prix. La propriétaire anglaise nous a également accusé 10 jours après la fin de notre séjour d'avoir emporté des serviettes de piscine et a prélevé de l'argent sur notre caution malgré nos dénégations.

Excellent sejour

Nous avons beaucoup apprécié cette ancienne et très grande bâtisse bien rénovée, avec 5 grandes chambres, beaucoup d'espaces a vivre, sa cours intérieure, le magnifique jardin et sa piscine, le tout situé en plein centre de la petite ville de Riberac, tout commerce et restaurant accessible a pied. Merci Judith et Marie pour cet excellent sejour.

Spacious and comfortable mansion house in a quiet corner of Riberac

The house is exactly as described and the owner, Judith, was very helpful with information before our stay. While grand and spacious the house is comfortable with a well equipped kitchen and contemporary bedrooms and bathrooms. The house is very secure and in a quiet corner of the center of Riberac - a pleasure to walk to get our morning croissants! Riberac is a pleasant town in a beautiful part of the Northern Dordogne. A very pleasant stay.

The property has a lovely homely but quite grand feel.

We had a fantastic week in this house, there was plenty of room for all the guests including room for the teenagers to escape to. The games room and pool area are first class and the house lovely and clean with tasteful decor. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Why they chose this property

In front of the house you would never guess what lies behind. From the street you see a classic facade with steps up to the front door and windows symmetrically to left and right. Inside, the house is beautifully decorated and on a large scale which is not at all intimidating. Then you go into a very large courtyard where you can sit or sunbathe or dine al fresco and next to a garden which you would never expect to find even in a small town. It's so wonderfully peaceful and pretty and all you can hear is the birds!
