Our Opinion
QUALITY: SIMPLE FAMILY
We love this villa for the location which is out of this world. That said, the owners have spent time and effort thinking about what is needed in a holiday rental and have equipped the villa incredibly well. It is light and airy and we know you will love your stay here!
Where to find us
Availability & Booking
The house is perfectly situated on the outskirts of the village of Eymet, a bastide village we have visited many times. We found the villa to be a haven of peace and tranquillity yet in 7/8 minutes walking we were in the main square of the village among the coffee shops, restaurants and shops. The villa was very comfortably furnished, had excellent wifi and freestat tv. The kitchen was well equipped complete with oven, hob, fridge/freezer and dishwasher. The bathroom had a walk-in shower which we like , a washing machine and tumble dryer. The bed was very comfortable and on request we were provided with feather pillows. Outside the gardens front and back are extensive providing privacy. There is a beautiful swimming pool with an electric cover in the rear garden, a covered patio and decking. Ample outdoor furniture for 6 adults . The electric shutters on the windows provided excellent security and shade from intense sun. We were met by Julia who gave us a guided tour of the house and we found her most efficient and informative. We love the area and recommend visits to Monpazier, the Sunday market in Issegiac , Bergerac and Ste Foy la Grande and of course the Thursday market in Eymet.

We spent a great two weeks in this delightful house. Perfect for our holiday with our son, his fiancée and our 10 month old granddaughter. Great living space, comfortable and very well equipped.
Wonderful swimming pool which was certainly required in the heatwave during our stay!!
