About this property

Gîte Le Recoux - Charming Black Périgord Cottage close to Dordogne attractions

Quaint stone holiday cottage (gîte) in the "golden triangle" of the Périgord Noir with spectacular hilltop views. Gîte is totally self-catering. Location is close to all Dordogne highlights: the prehistoric sites of Lascaux, Les Ezyies; chateux Beynac, Castelnaud, Les Milandes; shopping at numerous street markets, Sarlat (25min); and Dordogne river activities such as kayaking, swimming and picnicing. This area of the valley is surrounded by caves and grottoes, footpaths and wine country. The location offers tranquility and simplicity and is surrounded by nature and great access to sites. We enjoy rambling through the hamlet and having long conversations overlooking the valley. The gîte comfortably sleeps a family of 4 (one large master bedroom with queen bed and second bedroom with bunkbeds). There is also a fold-out sofa in living room. Gîte is best suited for four: two adults and 2-4 children. Total area is approximately 95 m2 of renovated space--newly equipped kitchen, living room/dining room, modern bathroom, all with typical stone floors and walls. Two levels: two bedrooms are on the second level, and living/kitchen space and bathroom/toilet is on the ground floor. It is cosy, light and bright, with two terraces, a large garden, and lots of private parking. The house stays nice and cool in the summer a good heating system allows comfort during the winter months as well. Your hosts will provide you with a complimentary itinerary--usable directly from the gite--to make your vacation planning effortless and to ensure you won't miss any of the hidden specialties nearby. Kindly note: owners are not on site but caretaker is available for all needs or any problems. There is only one toilet and it is downstairs from the bedrooms. Also, smoking is not permitted inside the gite and pets are not allowed. Please be aware of these points before you book. We want to make sure you arrive with all the information you need to have a very pleasant and well-deserved vacation! We are here to help you anytime.

Perfect Dordogne retreat
Huge thanks Deborah for letting us stay at your beautiful holiday home in the Dordogne. A fantastic base for us as we explored the area with our children where we had such fun. Canoeing down the Dordogne, visiting the local daytime and evening markets, heading to the candlelit Marqueyssac gardens, visiting caves, the forest of the Monkeys, Rocque St Christophe with lots of rope swings along the way! Your itinery was the perfect guide for us to get the most out of our 7 days and we hope to return to the Dordogne again. Huge thanks for being the perfect hosts, answering our numerous questions in advance and calling us during the week to make sure all was ok. We are now home with fond memories. Would definitely recommend to all.

About the host

Hosted by Deborah or Dan

Host profile image
We bought this gîte in 2012 from the couple next door. They had operated it as a gîte for 10 years before retiring. We have updated the property significantly since then, with a new kitchen, bathroom, floors, and artwork. We added wifi and flatscreens, crepe makers and a stainless fridge. Outside we have added stone features and cleared the view. We spend time each summer there ourselves, so we know how to make it comfortable and inviting. Most of all, we enjoy it as a respite from the urban California lifestyle we experience most of the year. It is a place we can count on to renew our natural and rustic spirits, appreciate a simpler life--birds, roosters, and farmer's market dinners--and we hope you can enjoy it for the same reasons we do! Please ask about our special itinerary, tried and true, that you can use directly from the gite.

Why they chose this property

Why Gîte Le Recoux? Because you might need to truly unwind, find a simple pace, some long nights of sleep, and cook a nice meal. Let the kids run freely around the property without worry, and relax with a view that rewards you from every direction. If you are looking for five-star accommodations with urban conveniences, we advise you to look elsewhere. If you need to get away, read, think, play, eat, live--we invite you!

What makes this property unique

Unique benefits of this property include experiencing the feeling of authentique Perigordine style and charm--with all period features preserved--but renovated for modern living. Also, your stay comes with a complete customized itinerary to remove the guesswork "what will we do today?" The location is within the "golden triangle" of the Perigord Noir - ideal for experiencing all of the sites that are popular with tourists. You won't find yourself driving 10 miles down the same winding road every day to finally reach a connecting route. If you have children, the proximity to Audrix (swimming park, night markets, and horseback riding) are ideal. Saint Cyprien, Coux, and Siorac (all 3-5 miles driving) have all restaurants, bars, morning and evening markets, and supermarkets that you need. Many feel that staying in or near Sarlat is the prime location but Sarlat is located at the eastern side of the valley. We adore Sarlat, but Saint Cyprien, in our opinion, is more central. Watch out the traffic in Sarlat during July and August can be dreadful! Still, reaching Sarlat from our gîte is only 25 minutes and a lovely drive along the hillside ridge, or through the valley. Finally, the best reward of all at the Gîte Le Recoux: quiet, calm, 360-degree views, warm sun on your face all day long with a south-facing position, and a simple, lovely cottage with everything you need for your stay. Enjoy!
