About this property

Fully modernised and restored stone farmhouse

The house is situated on over 5000 m2 of non overlooked, private gardens at the end of a single lane, used almost exclusively by guests (and the postman). The garden offers uninterrupted views across Le Falgueyret valley and wider across the Perigord region.

The garden features dozens of mature oak, pine and fruit trees, (apple, prune, pear, fig, walnut and hazelnut). Please use the fruit/nuts in the garden during your stay!

The house was originally restored with exceptional vision by Bordeaux based artists in 1960’s.

Over the past 6 years the house has been fully modernized respecting the original features, (e.g. all rooms feature exposed original beams), to give a unique architectural and boutique feel combined with traditional features, ( e.g. Bread Oven).

May 2012 we completed a 10x5 m heated swimming pool with fully automatic integrated cover and a 7m x5m terrace. The pool and terrace like the rest of garden are very secluded and private.

The terrace has natural shade from the surrounding trees, but also the option to lounge in the sun.

The terrace has a large teak dining table, seating 8+ comfortably. Sunloungers / recliners are available also provided.

The pool house there is an additional fridge for refreshments and a toilet.

As of June 2016 integrated air conditioning has been added in each of the bedrooms and main living area.

perfect hideaway to spend an undisturbed holiday

We did spend a wonderful time with family and friends as a party of five and also three dogs. As the location is quite remote, you can enjoy absolute privacy but on the other hand, all necessary supply is in close range - if you do not fear a 45 minute walk you can reach the weekly market of the next village even by foot hiking through a light forest. The interior is perfect for a relaxing holiday and especially the full equipped kitchen (necessary in France's home of fine food) does provide the setup for all kinds of food. The absolute highlight came by accident - the airflow regulation of the Weber(r)-BBQ was out of function and we as BBQ-enthusiasts had to find a way to deal with this. After assessing the options, we started to reanimate the old baking house with an outstanding result. We even tried to make our own dough, but it did not work out, so we started to purchase dough from the local bakery and since then we had the best pizzas, focaccia with herbs and dried tomatos, olives and so on. In this oven/house we gratinated oysters, baked scallops, prepared fish, lobsters, duck-breasts and the great cote de boeuf. Everything came out perfect. The soar point is that I gained five kilos of weight in the three weeks holiday, but I do not regret any single bit. Unfortunately we did not manage to get a wild boar from the only farm close by as it would have been too much to get a whole one for only five people. If you are more, try this! Besides the cooking fun, the care taken by the nice couple responsible for the background organisation was overwhelming. The location itself is a mixture between decent luxury and paradise, a great pool area where you can chose between party, wellness and fun. The interior is a very interesting solution of combining the sections of an ancient farmhouse and it was done with great success. We just tried to find a negative point to give advise to the other guests, but we did not find one. So, it just remains to wish all of the following guests: enjoy your holidays, the setup is given...

Disappointingly could be so much better - old photos

We (family of 4 with 3.5 yr old and 1.5 yr old) stayed in June 2019. The property is in a great location near to lots of lovely market towns and villages. Setting is incredibly picturesque. Communication with the owner before our stay was excellent - owners were very helpful with practical and local information. We arrived at the property quite late on a Friday evening. Checkin was easy but if you arrive late, pickup food en-route as many of the local shops and restaurants had already closed. Its a very rural area. Sadly though, there were a few issues with the property. A primary reason for choosing to stay in this property was that it was advertised as having a heated swimming pool – critical for us with two small children who we envisaged spending the lion’s share of their holiday in the pool. However, the pool had not been adequately prepared: - There was a lot of debris in the bottom of the pool on our arrival - The deck did not appear to have been swept in weeks, evident by the fact that once I’d swept it, it didn’t need sweeping again for the entire week - The pool wasn't full on our arrival and so for most of our 1st day there was a cold hose in it to fill it up - The pool man only came on our third day to properly clean it - The pool temperature on our 1st and 2nd day was only 22 degrees Celsius and did not get to an acceptable 25/26 degrees until our 5th day which meant for most of our stay, our kids didn't want to swim for more than a few minutes. The pool clearly has a heater, but it really should have been fully prepared ahead of our arrival. The owner sent a helpful welcome document ahead of our stay which detailed that the pool had a hard cover with security catches to keep it closed. Again, given we were traveling with young children, this was important for us. The catches were however broken and apparently had been for some time. Sadly there were a few issues with the house as well - really strong small of damp and cleanness levels were very poor. Owners did send cleaners in again, but this didn't improve things. Overall, could be a great property, but really needs some TLC and the photos seem to be about 5-10 years old. Such a shame. I contacted owner after our stay, but no response.

In der Ruhe liegt die Kraft

Wir hatten hier mit Familie und Freunden eine göttliche Zeit fernab vom Alltag. Das Haus ist wunderschön ruhig gelegen und bietet innen wie außen viel Raum zum verweilen. Es ist charmant eingerichtet, da stört es nicht, das paar Dinge etwas in die Jahre gekommen sind. Laurent ist wohnt ganz in der Nähe und ist jederzeit hilfsbereit. Wir würden da jederzeit wieder hinfahren.

Great Family Holiday

Such a brilliant location, stunning views. Two families staying with children, everyone loved the pool, great place to visit and things to do. A couple of small points that were slightly disappointing the bikes had flat tyres and we couldn’t find a pump so we didn’t use them and the pool side loungers were broken or incomplete. But thanks for an amazing family holiday.

Ländliche Idylle im Perigord

Wir hatten eine wunderbare Woche in Le Falgueyret, ein Weiler in der Nähe von dem sehr schönen Ort, St. Alvère. Das Haus, ein altes, restauriertes Bauernhaus/Scheune, ist geschmackvoll und schlicht renoviert. Besonders der großzügige Garten und der Blick in die Landschaft haben es uns angetan. Der Pool war sehr groß und schön angelegt und man konnte den ganzen Tag zwischen Sonne und Schatten wählen, was sehr angenehm war. Es gab zwei große Tische und viele Stühle im Garten, wo wir uns aufhalten konnten. Viele Obstbäume spendeten wunderbare Snacks – Birnen, Äpfel, Brombeeren, und Zwetschgen. Leider waren wir zu früh da für die Feigen! Wir waren zu acht, mit vier Kindern über 16 und hatten viel Platz im Garten und im Haus, wobei die oberen Schlafzimmer vielleicht eher für etwas jüngere Kinder/Teenager gedacht sind. Die Lage war sehr ruhig, aber man war in ein paar Minuten in St. Alvere, wo man ein nettes Cafe, einen kleinen Supermarkt, Post, Montagsmarkt, usw vorfindet. Einen großen Intermarche Supermarkt gibt es in Le Bugue, ungefähr 15 Minuten Autofahrt entfernt. Ansonsten war Le Falgueyret ein guter Ausgangspunkt für Ausflüge ins Perigord; Paunat, Limeul, Cadouin, Tremolat, Les Eyzies, Le Bugue waren alle leicht zu erreichen. Meistens war es aber sehr schwer sich von dem Haus wegzubewegen, weil es dort so schön war! Besonders gefallen hat uns der Abendmarkt in Tremolat! Leider war eine Woche viel zu kurz um alles zu entdecken. Das nächste Mal müssen es mindestens zwei Wochen sein. Wir können das Haus in Le Falgueyret nur weiter empfehlen!

beautiful location, restful and comfortable

If you are looking for a restful and quiet place for your vacation, here it is. A comfortable house -well equipped kitchen, heated pool, beautiful garden, comfortable beds...- a beautiful region with a lot to discover, excellent places to eat. We enjoy a week with the family (from 24 years old up to 77) and there are not a lot of places where everybody at the end comments having a great week and will come back.

Wonderful

We spent a wonderful fortnight at Le Falgueyret in August. The house was extremely well equipped, very comfortable and coped very well with 2 families. The heated pool was a real bonus and was well used when we weren't visiting local markets, canoeing and sightseeing. Pascale met us when we arrived and was always available if we had a query or wanted some local knowledge - she was lovely. The house enjoys wonderful views across to the local hamlet and sits on a large plot with plenty of space for children to play. We loved having different eating areas - we had breakfast at the front of the house and barbecued and ate in the back garden chasing the last of evening sun. Thank you David and Dominique,

All we could ask for and more...

As the title suggests, this house exceeded our expectations in many ways. As a family of five, with a very hectic lifestyle we were in desperately need in a peaceful, relaxing holiday with all the necessary amenities for a young family in a beautiful area. That is exactly what we got, along with lots of added extras. After a very lengthy (17 hour) journey. We were greeted by the lovely, Pascale who was very welcoming and showed us around the farmhouse pointing out everything we needed to know. Pascale then left us to enjoy our holiday and we spoke again a couple of days before departure. We have previously known house keepers to be a little intrusive so this was great to be left to just enjoy our holiday. The house is completely isolated and incredibly private with the exception of a couple of dog walkers you might see now and again. The grounds are well maintained and as beautiful as all of the pictures show. In fact the view from the pool is quite spectacular. The house is full of character and with all of David and Dominique's home comforts, you feel right at home. We travelled to Le Falgueyret at the beginning of July 2016 and were blessed with great weather. This allowed us all to relax and spend quality family time together around the well equipped pool. There is a small pool house which houses some technical looking pool equipment along with a toilet, sink and fridge freezer. Perfect for two young children who quite often had to jump out the pool to use the loo! And of course we kept some drinks and ice lollies in there for cooling down in the heat. As well as enjoying the pool, my husband utilised the mens bike and toddler seat and cycled to Ste-Alvere on several occasions for fresh pastries and breads. As I understand it he visited the Bar-Tabac whilst there so I'm not sure if there was an ulterior motive. Our children are aged four, two and six months and so we were a little limited with activities. We visited Perigeux and had a train ride around the city and also went to Bergerac where we visited the market and found a boating lake for the children. This also had a bouncy castle and small cafe to enjoy afterwards. The highlights of our holiday had to be the night markets which we all thoroughly enjoyed and are an absolute must for anyone visiting. We also visited a local restaurant called Juliens in Paunat - Amazing food! This was the perfect place to reconnect as a family... somewhere we very much hope to visit again!

Superb

The house is wonderful. We had the most fantastic holiday in the heart of Perigord, and such easy access to great places, and our relaxing days by the pool were just brilliant. The house has everything, plenty of space for two families and so relaxing. Two weeks wasn't enough!! The location is excellent. Only 10 minutes to Limeuil and 30 minutes or so to the Les Eyzies valley and Bergerac. Domaine du Cantonnet in Meyrals is well worth a visit for a wine tasting. The amount of caves and places to go is so good, we packed so much in, and if you like canoeing try the Vezere river as an alternative to the Dordogne. We have travelled a lot in France and this is such a great house and location we will definitely look to return.

Private getaway in beautiful setting

Lovely property in a beautiful region. Modern amenities (new kitchen, pool, nespresso, A/C, weber bbq's etc.) while preserving historic character of the farm. The (heated) pool has views across the valley and the layout of the property makes it ideal for (two) families. Both owner as well as caretaker were very responsive and helpful. Perfect recipe for a lovely vacation - could not recommend more.

Heerlijk huis in mooie omgeving.

De laatste week van april en de eerste week van mei hebben we in dit mooie huis mogen verblijven. Ondanks de slechte weersvoorspelling viel het weer erg mee. De eerste week was het er vrij fris, zeker als de zon weg was, maar dankzij zwembadverwarming was het water toch 23C. De tweede week zelfs 26C. Zodat we regelmatig hebben kunnen zwemmen. Het is een heel fijn huis op een hele mooie plek. De keuken is goed ingericht én heeft een Nespresso apparaat. De bedden zijn goed. De slaapkamer onder de woonkamer is een beetje gehorig. ( meer geschikt voor de vaste slaper ). Het ligt er heerlijk rustig aan een onverharde weg waar heel af en toe een auto langskomt. ( tuin is niet omheind ). BBQ aanwezig. De woonkamer is sfeervol ingericht maar het openhaard is geen spektakel. Pascale heette ons vriendelijk welkom en was zeer behulpzaam. Vlakbij in St. Alvere zijn twee bakkertjes en een kleine supermarkt waar je de nodige spullen kunt kopen. We hebben er een hele fijne vakantie gehad.

perfect location!

Just a perfect place to relax with family or friends. This house is clean, perfectly equiped (especially for kids) and the location is just perfect - quiet area but near the needed shops. I recommend this property to family as the garden is large so, excellent for the children to play. The house was clean and the customer service is excellent: only their when you need it but with a clear respect of our privacy. So, to summarize ...perfect value for money. only negative point: the pictures dont give the real impression of the space so, consider the house and the garden as quite large!

We had a wonderful holiday, in an absolutly quiet and relaxing surrounding with a beautiful view. The pool was heated to 28 C, luxurious in october! Bob and Meg were very helpful and really nice. You reach all points of view at the Dordogne and Vezere. The house is absolutly as described, very well equiped with everthing you need, just like at home. We would love to come again

Relaxation in wonderful country house

We past a week with 2 families (5 children) in that wunderfull house in the end of July 2011. The style of the interior was authentic and absolutely in our mind. Outside you will find an extraordinary view to the surrounding landscape. The house is a very lovely combination between old Perigord way of life and todays lifestyle with a modern kitchen, clean and proper sanitary installations and good technical entertainment equipment with W-Lan access. By car you reach almost everything in some minutes. We would do it again!!! (please don't miss a canoe trip on the river Dordogne between Carsac and La Roque Gageac or Beynac)
