Le Figuier is a desirable holiday rental, immaculately presented and located in a quiet corner of Dordogne, it is a house for all to enjoy. Positioned at the edge of the terrace is a private heated salt water swimming pool which can be comfortably enjoyed from May to September, there is an area for playing the popular French games of boules (petanque) within the large garden as well as ample space to wander amongst the grapevines and take in the views of the surrounding countryside.
It’s worth noting that the property owners have a house next-door which they use from time to time but this will not impact on your holiday in any way. In fact, they’ll be happy to say hello and provide information on the surrounding area as well as provide recommendations for good restaurants, good wine and local attractions.
The house is situated within 10 mins drive from Hautefort, with its magnificent chateau and several cafes,restaurants, boulangerie, epicierie, boucherie and supermarket. Also within easy reach of Sarlat (45mins) and Perigueux (40 mins). Montignac, with the world famous Unesco Lascaux caves, is also close-by (30mins).
Interior layout:
On the ground level of this impressive barn conversion is a open plan kitchen/dining/living area with high, beamed ceilings. It’s a perfect place to enjoy quality time with friends and family of all ages. Some of the 18th century features have been retained, the rest has been tastefully renovated to create a really special living space. Excellently equipped and beautifully styled in calm and neutral decor throughout.
Also on the ground floor is very handy laundry/cloakroom/shower room. Plus a separate snug living where you can watch television ( both French and English channels) read books, write postcards or just have a good old afternoon nap!
The second floor is accessed via a bespoke wooden staircase that curves around the wonderful reclaimed stone fireplace (we can fit baby gates if required). There are 4 bedrooms and two bathrooms on this floor, all renovated to modern standards with fans provided for the warm summer nights.
Exterior:
Externally you will enjoy the beautiful craftsmanship of this lovingly refurbished house, well planted flower beds and quintessential Dordogne views. The house comes with several private terraces, a barbecue and outside furniture. There is also table tennis table and table football table and plenty of space for ball games. The pool is fully enclosed and offers a selection of sun-loungers.
Within the grounds there is a small vineyard and the English owners (who live in a separate house on site) are on hand for impromptu tours of the vines and also have an extensive cave stocked with local wine that they are happy to sell to guests at vineyard prices. While they are on hand to answer any questions and help in any way they can to make sure your stay is as perfect as possible, you will not find them intrusive.
Sleeping arrangements:
4 bedrooms in total: Double Master bedroom with ensuite and 3 x twin rooms (x1 can be a double if you prefer)
Location:
Visiting Dordogne you will find beautiful towns and villages and excellent cuisine for which the region is famous. Numerous chateaux, fortified towns, caves and prehistoric dwellings, and of course many restaurants, are a short drive away.
The local area offers canoeing on three different rivers and other water sports at a nearby lake with all amenities. Quad biking and hot air ballooning are on hand at the nearest town, Hautefort. Popular with children and adults alike is the velo rail (cycle carriages on disused rail tracks) which is within easy reach.
Le Figuier is ideally placed for experiencing the best of the Dordogne but the regions of Correze, Lot and Auvergne are all within a couple of hours from the property – if you can tear yourself away from the pool that is!
