About this property

Villa with stunning views of River Dordogne

We invite you to stay in our luxury contemporary home, offering all the requirements for today’s modern open plan living! Les Platanes sits in a superb location within walking distance of the centre of the beautiful village of Tremolat in the heart of the Perigord Noir, with stunning uninterrupted views of the River Dordogne and beyond. The area is know as the golden triangle of the Dordogne , due to its huge wealth of attractions including fairy tale castles, caves, pre-history, beautiful bastide towns at every turn, hot air ballooning, walking and cycling and the most amazing food and restaurants.
Water skiing, kayaks and pedalos are available for hire at the Tremolat Bassin Nautique, a five minute walk from the house, and the village also boasts it’s very own mini golf with snack bar and bicycle hire, where you and your family can enjoy a fun game of golf followed by a nice glass of something cold under the shade of the trees.Tremolat is also home to four restaurants, including the best pizzeria in the area and also the renowned Vieux Logis hotel with its superb Michelin star restaurant as featured in Rick Stein’s ‘Secret France’ television series.
Enjoy a morning stroll to the village boulangerie to buy warm croissants followed by coffee in the village square, watching the world go by!
In the summer, enjoy the village night markets with visitors and locals alike, dining on regional delicacies on long trestle tables in the ancient square or enjoy a day out by train from our very own station in Tremolat, to the medieval town of Sarlat or the elegant city of Bordeaux and the surrounding wine areas including the world famous St Emilion.
After a day exploring the area or visiting one of the amazing markets, our large south west facing terrace with the swimming pool below, is the perfect place to unwind and enjoy a glass of the excellent local wines, listen to soft relaxing music through the Sonos speakers whilst watching the sun set over the shimmering waters of the river. The open plan spacious kitchen with fabulous centre island and silestone worktops, top of the range equipment and appliances and French doors onto the terrace, is the perfect space to prepare for a rustic barbecue or a gourmet dinner.

The House:

Provençal style in appearance, Les Platanes consists of a stunning open plan sitting room and formal dining area, decorated in cool muted colours and furnished with pieces we have collected over many years of living and working overseas. With large squashy sofas, TV and fireplace(decorative only) it is a very comfortable room in which to relax, and leads into the simplicity of a brand new shaker style kitchen which is fully equipped with two electric fan ovens, induction hob, combination microwave, two full size fridge freezers and a dishwasher. Double doors from the kitchen lead onto a large solid oak covered terrace, providing shade for alfresco dining on the large wooden table ( sits 8 comfortably) or enjoying a sundowner in the luxurious outdoor seating area . Wide steps lead down to the private swimming pool, large garden, a second covered terrace for a little solitude and a solar heated outdoor shower.
( Chlorine pool dimensions: 9m x 5m- depth range 1m to 1.8 m) Pool can be heated on request ( excluding July and August) at an additional charge paid locally to the property Manager.

Off the sitting room is a laundry room with washer, dryer etc leading through to a separate WC and washbasin.

Why choose Les Platanes?
We believe the house to be located in one of the best positions in Tremolat which itself is situated in one of the most beautiful areas we have ever visited. Having lived and worked around the world for the last 35 years we have visited many beautiful places and stayed in some incredible hotels and villas but consider this part of the Dordogne to be one of the most beautiful , and Les Platanes to reflect our personality and lifestyle. This is our home and as such, we invite you to be our guests and just for a short time, enjoy it as much as we do.
We offer a full meet and greet service, a welcome hamper and a weekly gardener/ pool maintenance service.

Perfect in Every Way!
We had such a wonderful 6 week stay in Phil and Ali’s beautiful home. They really thought of everything when they designed the house! The view to the river from the terrace and pool areas was so beautiful and peaceful. We enjoyed so many dinners on the terrace and quiet evenings taking in the calm and peace of that river view! The kitchen is very well appointed with a large refrigerator (unlike many European kitchens). The house is very tastefully decorated and very comfortable with a nice open floor plan. Bedrooms and baths are all quite nice with nice linens and towels (another thing you don’t always find in rentals.) Our host/owner, Ali was great! Always available to answer any questions or concerns. We were also lucky enough to meet Phil and Ali. Such nice people! We left wishing we lived closer and could see them more often! All in all, I cannot recommend this property more highly. I would return tomorrow if I could!

The best yet!
“ We have, for many years, booked self catering villas in France and Europe for myself, my wife and a group of close friends. Unfortunately, due to illness, I was unable to sample the delights of this villa and the location. However, the rest of the party loved the location and it’s easy access to many of the treasures the beautiful Dordogne has to offer. The villa provided everything a group of friends would desire, described as ‘home from home’ with extras. A beautiful setting, pool and gardens. Accommodation was perfect and very comfortable. Deborah acted as the perfect host and provided a wealth of advice on local places of interest and restaurants. Probably the best villa we have stayed him! Best regards Neil

Heaven with views!
What can we say? A truly stunning property, it ticked all the boxes. We absolutely loved our stay in Les Platanes from the moment we arrived to the last morning. The villa is so gorgeous, beautifully decorated, unbelievably clean and has the most tasteful touches throughout the whole house. The beds are super comfortable, the bathrooms are sparkling, the kitchen is spot on with everything you need. We really loved the view from our comfortable and stylish sun loungers and ate every evening on the outside terrace with the most outstanding view of the Dordogne river. Deborah was fabulous with any helpful information of the surrounding area. We went on some lovely walks into the village each morning to collect pastries and bread from the bakery and we had many outstanding meals at the local restaurants. Definitely a villa we will revisit in the future, loved every moment of our week there!

About the host

Hosted by Ali Blakemore

Host profile image
After living and working in the oil industry all over the world for over 35 years and having visited many beautiful places, the Dordogne has always held a special place in our hearts for its stunning scenery, climate and way of life and we therefore decided to spend much more time here upon retirement! We decided to buy a second home in the area and after a three year search and very specific requirements, we finally chose Les Platanes for its stunning views of the River Dordogne,in our most favourite village. So began a six month refurbishment project to bring the house up to our exacting standards.

Why they chose this property

Location, location, location. In our opinion, Les Platanes commands one of the best positions in the village of Tremolat and the wider area and had great potential. Rural but not isolated, close proximity to major supermarkets and within a 30 minute drive to Bergerac airport, it is now the perfect place to relax with friends and family

What makes this property unique

Unlike most of the properties in the area, Les Platanes is light, airy and open plan and is the perfect house for indoor or outdoor entertainment. Due to its south westerly aspect, enjoy full sun on the pool and garden all day and watch the spectacular sunsets over the river from the fabulous covered terrace.
Also unlike most other properties in the area, the house benefits from airconditioning in all the bedrooms which in July and August, has been very much appreciated by our guests to ensure a good nights sleep during the hot summer months.
