About this property

Charming French Escape - Dordogne & Lot

"Las Vignotes de Lea" is a charming home with spectacular views and a private pool. We're located in the idyllic countryside of Payrac in the Lot - South-West France.

With a private pool set on 1.5 acres this is the perfect hub for visiting some of the country’s prettiest villages.

Rocamadour, the second most visited attraction in France after Mont-Saint-Michel, is just a short drive away. We're also very close to the famous villages of La Roque-Gageac, Saint-Cirque Lapopie, Beynac, Autoire, Domme & Sarlat.

Nearby you can discover ancient chateaux, Romanesque abbeys and prehistoric caves. In fact Gouffre de Padirac, the most famous cave in Europe, and one of the most interesting geological sites in France, is just 38km away.

Or why not savour local delicacies including truffle, duck and foie gras, and visit the local wineries famed for Malbec in nearby Cahors. The Lot River and nearby Dordogne River are also perfect for picnics, swimming and boat trips, and there are plenty of walking/biking trails.

The house features a master bedroom with breathtaking views and plenty of storage. The second bedroom has a bunk bed with a double mattress at the bottom so accommodating 3 persons if needed.

The brand new kitchen is equipped with microwave oven, refrigerator with freezer, dishwasher, coffee maker, oven and a complete set of kitchenware and dinnerware.

The living room has a woodburning stove, perfect for the cosy nights in and we've provided board games and playing cards so you can enjoy quality time together. The couch also converts into a double bed sleeping another two people.

The bathroom has a walk-in power shower and there is a separate toilet. If you're travelling with a baby we can also provide a baby bath, high chair and cot - just let us know what you need.

Our house has plenty of outdoor space to chill out with a pool, outdoor dining table, BBQ and sun chairs. It's extremely private and peaceful.

Linen can be arranged for an extra fee. Email us to request

Fabuleux
Très belle maison, très propre, bien équipée et bien située pour visiter les sites alentours. La piscine est exquise et a été bien appréciée en ces temps de fortes chaleurs. Nous remercions tout particulièrement Sandrine pour son accueil et sa gentillesse, ainsi que les propriétaires pour leur disponibilité et leur réactivité. Nous reviendrons avec grand plaisir !

About the host

Hosted by Susan O'Driscoll

Host profile image
Hey everyone. We're Susan & JP and we have a daughter Lila and son Marlo. We live in Dublin but JP is originally from Payrac so we know this area like the back of our hands and can give you lots of insider tips - what to see and even more importantly where to eat! :) We're both keen foodies (JP is a chef) and we love to travel. We recently built this house as a summer getaway for our family as well as a holiday rental so that others can enjoy everything we love about the beautiful Lot and Dordogne areas of France!! It really is an exceptional place. We look forward to welcoming you to Las Vignotes de Lea! :)

Why they chose this property

We built this house in 2018 on family land we inherited. JP is from this village and we wanted to showcase the stunning area to other curious travellers.

We are located really close to some of France's most famous villages and there are so many other attractions with prehistoric caves, a monkey forest, a waterpark, lakeside beaches, river swimming and canoeing and the best food you've ever tasted in your life! Not to mention the castles and medieval architecture everywhere that is just so unique and pretty and typically French. This is the real France you've been dreaming of!

What makes this property unique

The views from the master bedroom are hard to beat! An expansive private garden of 1.5 acreas overlooks the pretty Payrac village and it's a perfect way to start the day when you open up those French shutters.

The area is so peaceful and I love being woken up to just the sound of the birds tweeting. It's very private and so relaxing.
