Peaceful Dordogne Countryside Estate 6 Br 5 Ba With Pool And Onsite Caretakers!

Les Bourdeillettes is a charming farmhouse on 75 acres on the Dronne River, which is full of trout. The restored farmhouse has 6 total bedrooms (3 masters) with 5 full bathrooms on three floors. There are formal and lavender gardens, a full pool and walking trails. The fireplace is nice for those who might like to simply read something from our extensive library. We have full-time caretakers who live in a restored barn on the property but out of your way. Don't see them unless you want to ask a question or need assistance. They speak both English and French fluently. Having lived in the area for over 20 years, they are familiar with where to go and what to do in the area. There are numerous outbuildings and restored barns with bikes and laundry. A dear friend, who also lives in town, one km away. She can be hired as a tour guide and driver by the hour or day. See the sights. Go to the traveling markets. See the cave paintings at Lascaux. Visit local painters. Eat at Michelin starred restaurants. Cook in. Drive to Bordeaux for the day or down to the Dordogne River for a canoe trip under castles Beynac and Castlenaud. Have our neighbor Louisette make you a simple but sumptuous local meal on the night you arrive or whenever you don't feel like cooking something else. The kitchen was recently remodeled. Bathrooms on the next floor up were updated in early 2019. There is an attached gite with its own entrance, a master bedroom, full bathroom and its own kitchen, if some people like to be able to get away from time to time. The property is owned by a group of friends who use it for themselves most of the time, however, there are times when someone can't come and this private gem becomes available. We rent the property by the week and our weeks start on Saturday afternoon and go through Friday night. From our experience you should stay more than one week, there is so much to do. There is a drawer in the front hall with suggestions and maps that fill a 4 inch binder!
