Lo Gorro Gite:
The gîte sits in the parkland grounds of an old stone farmhouse, perched above the Vezere river, and is ideally located for exploring the Dordogne and Vezere valleys.
Interior:
The gite can comfortably accommodate up to 6 people, however out of peak season (July & August), couples can book the gite at a reduced rate, using just the master bedroom. Under this arrangement, the gite offers on the ground floor a light, open plan kitchen with dining and living area with views out over the garden and Vezere valley. The kitchen opens onto a private garden terrace. There is also a downstairs bathroom with a bath/shower and toilet. Upstairs the master bedroom has full height sliding doors leading to a private roof terrace with wonderful views of the Vezere river and valley beyond. There is also a further shower room with two basins, and a separate toilet just along the landing.
Please note that the stairs may not be suitable for people with limited mobility.
Outside:
Immediately outside the gite is a small private garden and BBQ area. This comes complete with a table, chairs and sun umbrella for alfresco dining.
There are stone steps down from this garden to a larger garden with private pool which is fenced off for security. The property also offers a good range of games including table tennis, badminton, and boules. For younger children there is also a garden slide and some swings.
Surrounding Area:
There is so much to do here it is difficult to know where to start. The walking here is wonderful, and even on the hottest days the woodland walks provide plenty of shade. There is a beautiful riverside walk to the nearby village of St Leon sur Vezere, which takes about 40 minutes. In St Leon are some lovely riverside cafes and bars, along with a small number of arts and craft shops. It is a popular destination for the many canoeists making their way down the Vezere river. We would also recommend a visit to the world famous Lascaux caves, which are only ten minutes away in Montignac. They are suitable for visitors of all ages. A visit here gives you an appreciation of just how far the human race has come over the last 20,000 years. If none of this is for you, you can always relax by the pool with a book.
