About this property
Luxury 1 bd gite. Rural & Peaceful. Eymet just 5 mins away. Fast Starlink WIFI.
Sleeps a max of 2 people, La Porcherie is a spacious 1 bedroomed gite set in 7 hectares of unspoilt and natural land, yet within 5 minutes car ride to the beautiful, bastide town of Eymet with its markets and many restaurants and bars and excellent for walkers and cyclists.
The bedroom is large and our kingsize bed is comfortable with a soft duvet and high quality bedding. All towels and linen are provided.
There is a bathroom with a bath and large walk in shower.
The living room is light and spacious with French doors onto a covered decked area.
The kitchen has a dishwasher and is fully equipped, and if you need to borrow anything else just let us know. The washer and dryer is in the pigeonaire tower.
For those of you wishing to work we have a dedicated connection for the gite if you wish to work inside or out. Fast and reliable.
The gite has its own private entrance with an entrance hall leading to steps up to the main gite areas. The whole gite is on 1 level for disabled guest as the entrance can be at the decked area at the back if the steps are a problem. There maybe a short walk over our lawn if it rains heavily.
We keep you comfortable whatever the season with warmth in winter and ceiling fans in summer. Thick walls protect from the summer heat.
The living area has comfortable leather sofas, a TV with English stations. Bookcases are full along with DVDs should you wish to borrow during your stay.
Outside, the decked area is covered and sheltered with a rural view. It is totally private and quiet for you to enjoy. It has lounging chairs and a table and chairs to enjoy al fresco dining. There is also a bbq, 2 sun loungers with cushions, 2 chairs with cushions and low table as well as a large table with chairs for dining outside.
It is an ideal retreat for nature enthusiasts wanting to explore, experience and photograph the local wildlife. We have deer, sanglier ( wild boar), hares, rabbits as well as numerous birds including many birds of prey buzzards, kites, falcons, harrier, also herons, hoopoe and the exquisite song of the golden oriole. We have created our own nature trails taking you through our reserve, with a map just in case!
Many species of indigenous Orchids grow all over our land. The foot tall Lizard Orchids being a favourite. Situated on the southern tip of the Dordogne with its dramatic history, stunning bastide villages, wine, sunshine, chateaux, restaurants, night life, markets & vide greniers.
Our nearest airport is Bergerac, just 22 minutes drive away. Just 2 main roads. You won't get lost.

About the host
Hosted by Donna Cohen
Michael and I have been married for 35 years and have lived in France for the last 10 years. We run a photographic, floor plan and videography company called La Huppe Photos et Plans where our clients include gite/chateaux/holiday home owners and people selling their property.
We spent some time renovating Rooy and La Porcherie, and also having lived here during this time we have ensured that our Gite has all the necessities you would need for a fabulous holiday home. We recently sold our other gite and had attained 24 x 5* reviews. We of course will continue this trend for your benefit and ours.
We spent some time renovating Rooy and La Porcherie, and also having lived here during this time we have ensured that our Gite has all the necessities you would need for a fabulous holiday home. We recently sold our other gite and had attained 24 x 5* reviews. We of course will continue this trend for your benefit and ours.
Why they chose this property
In our private, unspoiled setting we often spot wildlife in the fields, including the elusive and shy wild boar and plenty of deer that graze in the early evening like cows in the field in front of the decked area of the gite. We have seen the wild boar many times and the size of a male wandering across the road is a site to behold. This is not the norm, but you might be lucky enough to see one. We have 11 hectares for you to roam about. Although rural, quiet and private, we enjoy the beautiful bastide town of Eymet on our doorstep with its multitude of restaurants, architecture and markets. It is not often that you find a property with hectares of unspolit rural highland with Scots pine & juniper with its own nature trails, that is still close to a thriving & beautiful bastide town of Eymet. Which contrary to public opinion is very French indeed. Expats only make up 18 percent of the population. Very French with English familiarity and friendly locals. An excellent place to practice your French in a friendly environment. We have many excellent restaurants suited to different budgets in our area, and the night life is excellent in summer. We sit in the middle of many landmark bastide towns, churches & chateaux, including the quaint village of Issigeac and its famous Sunday morning market. Monflanquin, Villeneuve, Bergerac, Perigueux and Agen are worth a visit along with the famous vineyards St Emillion and Monbazillac. The highest sand dunes in Europe can be found at Arcachon and Bordeaux the capital of Nouvelle Aquitaine is also well worth a day trip. Plenty to do and see.
What makes this property unique
This unique place has a style all its own. Part of our ancient hamlet, La Porcherie is spacious, quiet and private. Sleeping 2 admist the history of older times. Renovated to a high standard with antique pieces to compliment its history. La Porcherie is within 5 minutes drive to the stunning town of Eymet with its many restaurants and markets. We welcome you to rest here on your travels and take in all SW France has to offer.
