The Farmhouse is ideally located between Saint Foy la Grande which is on the banks of the river Dordogne and the medieval bastides town of Eymet and Duras, all of which are just a 15 minute drive away with shops, bars and restaurants as well as their weekly markets and events. The Dordogne river-side town of Bergerac with its International Airport is just a 25 minute drive to the North.

It is an ideal holiday home for families and groups in search of tranquillity and privacy whilst being in easy reach of the wealth of interest that the Dordogne has to offer. The Dordogne valley is well known for its abundance of vineyards including Monbazillac, Pecharment and Bergerac AOCs.

Our Opinion
Quality : Chic and Family
We love this property for lots of reasons. The setting is rural but close to lovely French villages if you can drag yourself away from the pool. The interiors are chic and the open plan living is ideal for families and large groups.
Where to find us

Allow me to give a testimony of a nice vacation with our dear family in the Dordogne (Thenac). The fabulous house with magnificent decoration, with exquisite taste and thinking of every detail, to this is added a beautiful transparent pool with 30 degrees that all the world will appreciate and enjoy. Even the most demanding person will be delighted to spend a stay with all the required comfort.

We stayed in Thénac for a week this summer with friends and our family (7 adults and 3 children), the house is very spacious, lots of large rooms to accommodate friends. The kitchen is very functional and spacious and offers a large table for dining with at least 10 people. We stayed on the first floor in a very nicely decorated large room with large integrated bathroom and walk-in shower. This space benefits from air conditioning and it is very pleasant to sleep in summer.The cathedral lounge is very pleasant and offers a very nice view of the terrace with a large plancha and a large swimming pool. The house has 2 washing machines and 2 dryers which is very appreciable when you are in a group.
We took advantage of the table football and billiards as well. The swimming pool is heated. The house is 10 minutes from all amenities and is very well isolated from other houses with a large garden for children.
A true haven of peace, I highly recommend.
