About this property

Character cottage in Sarlat: 18th century property, 1.7km from the medieval town

Welcome to the gîte "Combe de Rieux" in Sarlat ...

On the heights of the green area of Sarlat, less than 2 km from the medieval city, this old mansion dating from the 18th century overlooks a well-preserved and very little urban valley. In the countryside while being only 800 meters from all shops (hypermarket, bakery, pharmacy etc.), you can also, for good walkers, walk to the historic center of Sarlat from the house climbing the hill by a wooded path.
Family house now available for rental, it is located in the heart of a private property of 5 hectares of meadows, terraces and forest nestled on the hillside, of which you will be the only occupants and where you can enjoy the beauty of the site in complete independence. The dry stone terraced gardens conceal unspoiled corners of nature conducive to rest and contemplation. The small square "parish garden" will offer you aromatic herbs and small pickings depending on the season.
The house, completely renovated and furnished with respect for its character, will charm you with its authenticity and comfort. For two people, we offer all the equipment of a personal home:

Beautiful place!

This was our first visit to the Dordogne. The house was beautiful and very well equipped. The walk into the ancient city is just 20 minutes long and many historic sites are within a short drive. The location and the fact that the house is detached gives a nice, secluded feel while still being in easy reach of the restaurants and shops of the beautiful old town. The gite was spotless inside, with all the necessary bits and pieces, and the outside areas - particularly the herb and vegetable gardens - were really beautiful. Virginie was a delightful host and I totally recommend her gite.

A place in which it would be good to linger

Our GPS device had problems locating Combe de Rieux. But we never felt lost. Virginie and Sébastien were quick in triangulating our location and got us to our destination in a jiffy. Once we got there, we were well rewarded for our efforts. The place was absolutely grand. A real manor house, outfitted with the latest modern amenities and surrounded by tastefully landscaped grounds. It was a perfect retreat that warranted more than the paltry 2 nights that we had booked. While Sarlat-la-Canéda has its own draw, we looked forward to “chilling” at Combe de Rieux at the end of of our sightseeing. In this case, our essential needs were well satisfied thanks to a nearby LeClerc. Whereas our breakfast brioche was nicely enhanced by a sampling of honey from Sébastien’s bee hives. There were too many classy touches to this stay to include in this review. Our only recommendation is that you allocate extra time to fully enjoy this property and the hospitality that Virginie and Sébastien seem to extend routinely to their guests.

Eine wunderbarer Herbst in einem tollen Haus und Umgebung.

Wir haben eine wunderschöne Woche in diesem schönen Anwesen mit toller Herbststimmung verbracht. Wir wurden von unserer Gastgeberin Virginie herzlich empfangen und mit Informationen zur Umgebung versorgt. Das Haus und der Garten befinden sich in einem sehr sauberen und gepflegten Zustand. Das Haus und die Küche sind sehr gut ausgestattet, sodass es uns an nichts mangelte. Vielen Dank an Virginie und Sebastién dafür. Wir kommen sehr gerne wieder! Bis dahin verbleiben wir mit lieben Grüßen Stefan & Christian

Zauberhaftes Périgordhaus

Hatten einen traumhaften Urlaub in wunderschönem Ferienhaus. Das Haus ist sehr gepflegt und sauber. Die Lage ist superruhig und man ist trotzdem in ca. 25 Minuten im trubeligen Sarlat. Die Küche hat alles was es braucht. Selbst als ambitionierter Koch habe ich nichts vermisst. Für uns als schlecht französisch Sprechende war es auch super, das die Vermieterin sehr gut deutsch sprach. Einfach prima.
