About this property

Matisse, delightful apartment in Sarlat. Ideal for couples. Free WiFi & parking

Ideally located, stylishly furnished, thoughtfully equipped, and private, with beautiful views, you will be glad you booked Matisse from the moment you step through the door.

Matisse is one of four beautiful holiday apartments at Maison Pierre D’Or, a traditional stone house on the edge of the medieval centre of Sarlat in the stunning Perigord Noir region of Dordogne in South West France.

Matisse is the perfect base from which to explore the town and its surrounding countryside. It’s ideal for couples, and is within an easy 15 minute stroll into the medieval centre.

Sarlat is a busy, vibrant town with lots of tourists in the summer especially, and if you want the convenience of being in Sarlat and to enjoy the restaurants and markets, medieval buildings and squares, and entertainment, we are perfectly located.

The apartment features a cosy living room, a very comfortable bedroom, a sociable and well equipped dining kitchen, a modern bathroom, and a light and airy conservatory which leads on to a private balcony with a superb view over Sarlat.

Attention has been paid to the details. The apartment has been furnished with great looking light, oak furniture. The bedroom has an exceptionally comfortable, king size bed with fresh, crisp, cotton bedlinen and soft pillows. The shower room has a walk in shower with hot water on tap and fabulous fluffy towels. The kitchen is fully equipped, there is also a Nespresso coffee maker. There are quirky lamps and paintings by local artists, giving Matisse its own unique character.

Oh, and there is free parking on site and free high-speed WIFI. Free high speed Internet.

Free cancellation subject to conditions (see cancellation policy for details).

It is a lovely flat in an ideal location, only a few minutes from the centre of town. It is a good place from where to explore the Dordogne, and in the flat was a guide which we found very useful. We had a good welcome when we arrived and enjoyed our stay. We will visit again if we get the opportunity. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Great location, view, and amenities

What a great location for a base for our time in the Dordogne Valley! The apartment was lovely, the hosts friendly, and there was ample written information to help us with the apartment and environs. This location was an easy walk into Sarlat-la-Caneda old town and there is also a spot to keep your car on the property. The apartment would suit 2-4 people and the view of Sarlat from our terrace was so therapeutic!

We were fortunate enough to have the host tell us about the yearly candlelight walk. Such a treat. Took side trips to Beynac and Rocamodour.

The apartment for 2 people is spacious and they have planned and thought of everything you would need.. you can easily walk into Sarlat for food and shopping. There is loads to do in the area and Maggie has put together loads of information for days out. We followed a few of these and had great days.

Super Sarlat

The apartment is extremely well equipped, Maggie seems to have thought of everything (including a really efficient but quiet fan which was a godsend during the recent very hot weather). The balcony is a beautiful place to sit and enjoy the view especially for lazy, shady breakfasts. All in all, a lovely place to stay.

Lovely place, lovely owners, lovely stay… It is worth staying here, near the village (10 minutes walk), surrounded by castles and caves. The apartment seems to have been recently refurbished and decorated with taste. It has everything you need and more. The owners live next door and if something is needed, they are at your disposal. Definitely we'd come back and recommend it!

Just perfect

The apartment is everything I hoped for, and more, a 'home from home' which was spotlessly clean. It's true to the photos but they don't reflect the 'feel' of the place. Within a week I felt like I was staying in the home of friends. The hosts, Maggie and Ahm strike the perfect balance between privacy and helpfulness/support. They provide loads of useful information about the area that made planning day trips much easier. I have no hesitation in recommending Matisse and am delighted to have met Maggie and Ahm, they made my road trip adventure through France all the more enjoyable. Thank you.

This apartment (Matisse) was the best one I’ve stayed in! Maggie and Ahm, the owners, went out of their way to make me feel comfortable. The photos of this apartment show exactly what it is like….unlike the other apartments I’ve stayed in. The selection of kitchen equipment was perfect, the location a 15 minute walk into Sarlat….I just can’t say enough about what a fantastic stay I had. 🍷 to Maggie and Ahm (and Moraig and Mark)! Perfection!

5 days in Sarlat

Lovely place to unwind and relax/recover after 7 days cycling from Bordeaux. All the character and delightful quirkiness of a typical French apartment, including the odd creaky floor and low (for me) doorway stud height. Beautifully furnished. Our hosts could not be more helpful. They went out of their way to obtain tourist information we needed and when we were let down by the local taxi company they actually took us in their own car some considerable distance to the the train station which was located in a neighbouring village. Exemplary service! Excellent location for those without transport. 10m minutes walk into the centre of Sarlat and even less to the local supermarket. Our stay in Sarlat in this apartment was without doubt a very enjoyable experience and comes very highly recommended. Thank you Maggie and Ahmed.

About the host

Hosted by Maggie Ledra

Host profile image

I was born in UK, and now recently retired, have decided to move to France

My husband's first language is French and I can speak French well enough to get by.

We fell in love with south west France and decided that if we don't move now we never will. So the adventure begins

Why they chose this property

We bought Maison Pierre D'Or in September 2016. It was already established as luxury holiday apartments.

We have spent the first year painting and decorating and refurbishing the apartments to make them comfortable and welcoming places to stay. We aim to give all our guests a wonderful time whilst staying with us.

What makes this property unique

The house is on the edge of the old town. Conveniently positioned, just a short walk of 10 minutes and you are at the centre of medieval Sarlat.

The house consists of four apartments which all have their unique character. There are two large apartments which are named after French painters: Monet and Matisse; a smaller apartment: Cezanne; and a spacious loft studio: Gauguin.

There is parking at the house which is a great bonus during the busy summer months when parking in the centre is at a premium.

Sarlat is a stunning place, with wonderful buildings and markets. It is situated in the middle of beautiful countryside, historic chateaux, prehistoric caves and wonderful gardens. We think you will fall in love with it too.
