The house is incredibly beautiful. The location in the Perigord Noir is wonderful. The property is huge and completely secluded. You have absolute peace and silence. You can enjoy the four terraces around the house at any time of day, depending on whether you want sun or shade. I spent hours just sitting there and enjoying myself. The almost thousand-year-old house has a very warm, authentic atmosphere. The house description provided by the very friendly Carles is detailed and helpful. I will definitely be back. Many thanks and best regards,Michael
Charming and spacious 12th century accommodation in a pastoral, secluded setting. Magical in many ways. One could just close one’s eyes and imagine the Knights Templar in the space.Delightfully decorated with pretty furnishings that fit the space and thoughtful art pieces.Host was very responsive as issues arose.Would have been nice to have a ground floor bedroom and bathroom. Not a suitable property for an elderly person or anyone who might have trouble with uneven surfaces or stairs with no railings.
Une très belle maison ancienne, avec une terrasse semi ombragée donnant sur la piscine. Confort et calme , proche des sites du Périgord (Les Eyzieq, Sarlat, Beynac...La maison est bien équipée, un peu sombre mais fraiche à l'intérieur.Le propriétaire est réactif (en anglais), mais il faut parfois aller chercher l'info, codes (WI fi , alarme piscine...) , déchets. Une info complète à l'entrée dans les lieux serait un

Merci d’avoir été un hôte fantastique et nous sommes ravis que vous ayez apprécié la maison.
Nous nous excusons pour le manque de codes : ils figurent tous dans notre livret d’accueil, qu’il est difficile de partager via Vrbo, et nous allons en imprimer un pour la prochaine saison.
Nous serions heureux de vous accueillir à nouveau lors d’un prochain séjour.

About the host
Hosted by Charles
A unique opportunity to rent the Churchill family’s captivating and memorable estate in rural France. We love sharing our house with those who are visiting the region for the first time and those have a passion for food, wine and culture.
Why they chose this property
The house is situated in an area of outstanding natural beauty in the Vézère Valley, Dordogne, the UNESCO world heritage region and prehistoric capital of the world Les Eyzies de Tayac. We recommend kayaking on the Vézère river, 5 minutes drive from the house.
Le Teoulet is a wonderful base for exploring the Dordogne region, with great walks, spectacular dining, wine and numerous historic places of interest.
What makes this property unique
Our historic stone house is an exceptional 11th-century maison forte surrounded by 36 hectares of ancient woodland. Secluded. Secure. Private.
The property is the former commander’s house of the Knights Templar within the sites of the Hostelliere and the Abbey. The Knights Templar secured the ancient pilgrimage routes, perhaps the Way of Vézelay – Via Lemovicensis, to Santiago de Compostela, Spain.
