A beautiful stunning traditional house in the perfect location. The house has everything, the pool and the amazing views.

A lovely place to stay, nice to have lots of room inside and out with a great sized pool. Parking right outside with easy access to Sarlet and many Chateau’s in the surrounding area. All round a great place to use as a base in this part of the Dordogne.

Hi Tracey,

Very cordially.

We had a lovely stay in Montfort. The house is roomy and well equipped for a family visit. The village setting is beautiful with lovely strolls and views along the river and through walnut groves. A highlight of the property was the glorious garden, in full bloom in early June. We enjoyed every moment of our stay.

The accommodation, pool and surrounding area were all lovely. The only disappointment was that the bakery was not open so we had to drive to a neighbouring village for bread etc.
Magnificent overall. Baronial house, cool in a heatwave. Beautiful pool in pretty garden.Some traffic noise. Stunning location. Great facilities for self catering. Warm welcome from Elisa and Arthur. Thank you Catherine for easy communication
Very nice historical house. Sometimes a little noisy from the nearby street but all in all very acceptable. Fan in the main bedroom should be replaced as too noisy.
Cette maison est parfaite.L’accueil fut parfait, à la fois pour la propreté de la maison, la disponibilité et pour les explications. Les conseils et en particulier de restos furent judicieux.Merci pour le séjour, nous y retournerons sûrement.
Une maison extraordinaire dans une région exceptionnelle
Cette maison est parfaite. C’est une demeure ancienne au pied d’un château typique. De grandes chambres avec de la hauteur sous plafond qui permet de respirer. Une cuisine parfaitement équilibrée ainsi que salon et salle à manger. La piscine est excellente avec ce détail : à l’ombre d’un grand arbre durant l’après midi. Les enfants ont pu se baigner longuement sans avoir à les « tartiner » toutes les heures.L’accueil d’Elizabeth et Arthur fut parfait, à la fois pour la propreté de la maison, la disponibilité et pour les explications. Les conseils et en particulier de restos furent judicieux.La maison est idéalement située (15 mn de Sarlat, pratique pour aller y dîner), les commerces … Bref une maison parfaite pour découvrir une région unique. Merci pour le séjour, nous y retournerons sûrement.
Nous avons beaucoup apprécié la maison et le jardin, situés dans un hameau plein de charme.
La maison est bien équipée et très bien située : proximité de Sarlat et des autres sites touristiques.
Maison avec beaucoup de charme, idéale pour passer des vacances en famille.
Située à Monfort dans un petit village typiquement périgourdin, proche de plusieurs sites touristiques, vous ne pourrez que tomber sous le charme.
Een heerlijk huis van alle gemakken voorzien in een heel rustig dorpje met een restaurantje en een paar kleine artifact winkeltjes. Prima gelegen, vlakbij Sarlat voor de markt en boodschappen en langs de Dordogne rivier voor canoën en schilderachtige dorpjes en chateau’s.

Trés cordialement.

Maison agréable ,de caractère.Seul bémol manque de climatisation dans les chambres afin de pouvoir dormir les fenêtres fermées car beaucoup de circulation et le réveil se fait très tôt .Toutefois nous recommanderons votre maison

Merci Olivier pour votre recommandation .
Lors de périodes de canicule, nous recommandons de fermer les volets et fenêtres tôt le matin, et durant toute la journée, afin que la maison conserve sa fraicheur que les murs trés épais favorisent.
L'installation d'une climatisation dans notre maison datant du 17 iéme et 18iéme siecles serait peu efficiente.
Vacances autour de la piscine et à la découverte du Périgord noir ! Location à conseiller. Équipement complet pour passer une excellente semaine en famille ou entre amis. Merci.
