About this property
Luxury Apartment 'Just For Two' In Authentic Hilltop French Village near Domme
Les Tourterelles Apartment on the First floor of a C17th Village house gives guests the feeling of being lost in France in times gone by, but with all of the modern conveniences of the C21st. Not everyone can organise their holiday to fit with Saturday to Saturday 7 day bookings, so we do try to allow guests to check in and out on other days. There is a 5 day min stay during summer.
With all of the original features retained, visitors enjoy a memorable stay in a truly Authentic French village house. For your comfort all new facilities, plumbing and electrics have been installed, but the old wooden floorboards, the chalked walls, the original Evier and the high wooden ceilings are still here.. Understated but tastefully decorated, the Apartment has beautiful views out over the walled garden and plunge pool, rooftops, and neighbouring gardens and fields.. It is very spacious (almost 50 sq metres) with lots of fresh air. The main Salon is open- plan. The bedroom area is romantic and spacious with soft lighting and is made private with heavy linen curtains. It has real opening windows, morning sun and a view out over the guests courtyard. Thick stone walls keep it cool during the hot months. There are big windows that open, mosquito nets to ensure a peaceful sleep, and heavy wooden shutters to keep the Summer heat out. The Apartment has its own private entrance via a wide external stone staircase with a tiny Terrace at the top. Right next to these stairs is a ground floor Courtyard for guests to sit outside with coffee and croissants in the morning sun or have a BBQ in the evening.
Guests are welcome to use the Plunge Pool which is shared with the owner. The pool is a Bio pool filled with rainwater and chemical free. It is crystal clear and filtered by aquatic cleansing plants and flows continuously over a small cascade. The garden and pool is accessed by a short 20 metre walk along the old stone garden wall.
The fit out is very high quality: The supremely comfortable Bed 160cm (King size) is a Simmons top range and is dressed with white French Linen dried in the sun. There is a choice of real, rectangular Australian Jumbuck wool pillows, or pillows with synthetic filling. A generous supply of fresh Bath Towels and Pool towels is included. A well equipped little kitchen corner means you can eat a simple meal at home if you need a night off from eating out in the dozens of restaurants nearby. The kitchen is not suitable for people wanting to cook complicated meals, it has two hot plates and a microwave. All levels of dining out are available nearby, from casual little bistros with outdoor dining by the river, to serious haute cuisine. Michelin starred restaurants are within easy distance. The Lobby area allows plenty of luggage storage. The bathroom is beautiful, and unusually large for France(10 sq m) with Double Handbasins, separate shower, and a full size bath with shower attachment - plus a view to die for.
Even though it is in the centre of the Village Les Tourterelles and the environment around it is very peaceful. There is almost no noise other than birdsong and Cicadas in Summer, which is wonderful for a good nights sleep. There is enough space for one car tucked up against our old stone wall, alternatively there is parking just up the lane and in the shade. Les Tourterelles is an Apartment for two people only, and not suitable for children. July and August - 5 day minimum stay. We do allow stays with check in/out days other than Saturday as is the norm in France. Please discuss with us. Off Peak season - 4 day minimum stay

Les Tourterelles is the perfect place just for two. The apartment is beautiful, spacious, fresh and spotless. A big and lovely bathroom with a real bath completes the picture. The little village is charming, only a few minutes drive from many famous tourist sites, and is just a short drive down the hill to a very good choice of three restaurants. Highly recommended.
Hébergement conforme à l'annonce.La meilleure expérience ici est de rencontrer Annie, l'hôte, qui est d'une gentillesse exceptionnelle, d'une attention constante pour que le séjour soit le meilleur possible. Nous recommandons vivement et sincèrement de vivre cette expérience. Merci Annie.
Endroit calme et reposant dans un logement ou rien ne manque car Annie veille sur tout.

We had a wonderful 2 weeks in the apartment, who has a real true French charm interior. We had everything we needed and more. The bed was really comfortable, the bathroom big and had everything we needed, the kitchen well equipped, good WiFi etc. A really relaxing vacation. Our host Anne took really good care of us. She was so sweet. She gave us good suggestions of places to see and where to eat. She even made dinner reservations for us. The natural plunge pool and garden was lovely. We used it every day. We love the area and the small village. We absolutely want to go back to this wonderful place.

Thank you Hans and Fiffi. It was an absolute pleasure having you to stay here. This apartment has been booked solidly every summer for five years, and even with all those people staying you two are truly right at the top of the list of 'perfect guests.' I hope that we meet again some time.
Warm regards, Annie

This is a lovely authentic property with a more than comfortable apartment carved out of the house.
The owner was extremely hospitable and everything we needed including linen, towels, soap, tea and coffee was there on our arrival. This was perhaps one of the most relaxing holidays we've ever had. The views were perfect, the food was amazing, the weather was incredible and people of the area were very welcoming. We will be back.

Vacances merveilleuses
lorsque j'ai réservé cette jolie maison sur internet je pensais que ça allait être sympa et en effet ce séjour a tenu toutes ses promesses. Promesse d'un lieu calme charmant et reposant dans un hameau à l'abris de l'agitation, promesse d'une campagne magnifique dont la lumière dorée nous a ravis, promesse de culture dans l'un des berceaux de notre humanité mais surtout nous avons rencontré une belle personne. Merci Annie d'être venue d'aussi loin pour nous avoir offert tous ces moments délicieux. Nous reviendrons. C'est certain. Isa et Gerald

Beautiful apartment with loads of character
Located in a picturesque hilltop village within easy reach of many of the best places to visit in the Dordogne. This charming apartment has been renovated to a very high standard, retaining all the original character and features. It was the perfect place to retreat to and relax in after exploring the region. It is spacious, peaceful and extremely comfortable and well equipped. The luxury bed ensured we slept really well and we loved the spacious bathroom and generous sized bath. Annie, the owner, couldn't have been more welcoming and helpful ensuring that we made the most of our stay. A five star experience and highly recommended.

Perfection in the French countryside
We loved our stay in this very special place and want to go back soon! . To be able to have such comfort in a 17th century home is amazing! Besides the incredible renovation that completely keeps the character without sacrificing modern conveniences, Annie has managed to thoughtfully include everything you need for a delightful stay. Once you figure out where you are you soon realize there is so much to do within 30 minutes of the home. We loved our lunches in Le Petit Paris in Daglan, Lo Gorissado near St. Andre de Allas and Cabanoix & Chataine in Domme. Annie's warm hospitality, the perfect setting of this charming apartment set in this old stone village, and the proximity to the delights of the Dordogne region make this an absolute winner that we highly recommend!

Comme chez nous !!!
Nous avons passé une excellente semaine dans cette petite maison. Nous y étions comme chez nous et reçus par Annie comme des amis.
Nous recommandons vivement cette location qui est très bien située pour faire des visites en Périgord Noir.
Maison très propre avec un bon lit et une très grande et belle salle de bain. Nous n'avons manqué de rien à part le soleil ce qui ne nous a pas permis d'essayer la piscine.
Merci Annie et sans doute à une autre fois.

About the host
Hosted by Annie Taylor
I came to live in France from Australia 12 years ago, and almost by accident was fortunate enough to find this absolutely charming house in the Dordogne which I love. Actually, friends found it for me, and it was big enough to create a private apartment upstairs so others can experience this very beautiful part of the world too. Now the house has a whole new life, so do we in this lovely village with its wonderful people. I am an ex Restaurateur, and this is the perfect place for a food enthusiast
Why they chose this property
In France they say that when a person is looking for a home there has to be a 'Coup de Coeur'. Some very lovely friends of mine found this house for me, it was quite simply our Coup de Coeur.
What makes this property unique
Le Peyruzel is a little Village oozing with authenticity, charm and life, even in the Winter, and our house with its private Apartment reflects this charming ambience.
