A 5* holiday!

I would highly recommend a stay at this beautiful house! We were a party of nine and the house was more than well equipped to host us all. Everything you could need had been thought of. We found so much to do, including visits to the local markets, the river beach and the lake. Travelling a little further afield was easy too and we really enjoyed canoeing. We loved the pool and the gardens. The house is so peaceful and a pleasure to relax in Thank you for such a wonderful stay and we hope to return in the future. *****

Fantastic French Fortnight

Such a lovely holiday in a well equipped & homely property in a great location. Lucky to have overall amazing warm weather enjoyed by the pool but with a house easy to keep cool upon an evening. Great restaurants and markets nearby with a helpful owner and informative local housekeeper. To be honest… faultless! Enjoyed by three generations and a dog throughout. Thank you!

About the host

Hosted by Helen Middlemass

We live in England, and have two grown-up daughters: one at university, and one engaged to be married in 2024. We’ve always loved to travel and often found ourselves drawn to France. After we retired, we decided that we wanted to spend more time in France to enjoy the food, wines and culture of this lovely country, and to improve our conversational French. We fell in love with this house as soon as we saw it, and are so lucky to be able to 'escape' to France as often as we can.

Why they chose this property

Villetoureix is a quiet and peaceful location, but close enough to the pleasant town of Riberac, with its variety of small shops, cafes, bars and restaurants, and a popular weekly market. The northern Dordogne area is relatively unspoilt, and there is a peace and tranquillity to the beautiful countryside in this region. We enjoy visiting the many delightful towns and villages in the locality of Riberac and also further afield, sampling the local cuisine and wines. It is also well placed to use as a base for travel further afield within the south-west of France.

What makes this property unique

Without a doubt the large terrace, 2 acre garden and swimming pool. The house and gardens are wonderfully spacious and private, and you can feel at home as soon as you arrive. Everything is set out for your comfort and enjoyment. The pool is so inviting, and kids of all ages can spend hours each day splashing around and having fun. The less-energetic can make the most of the peace, tranquillity and seclusion of the grounds, wandering around and relaxing at leisure. The terrace is perfectly laid out for long, lazy lunches, and tranquil al-fresco dining later in the day. We also love the style of the property and its spacious feel inside. Upstairs, the 3 large bedrooms are all en-suite, with 2 more bedrooms downstairs, along with a family bathroom that is suitable for elderly or less mobile visitors. The downstairs bedrooms, study and sitting room all have patio-door access to the terrace. The fully fitted kitchen, with separate utility room, is well suited to catering for a large number, and the large terrace at the rear has a fantastic dining table seating 12, with additional settees for lounging.
