Grives house rentals

Thoughtfully presented home with everything you could possibly need to enjoy the village and the area, and eat in with local market provisions. The owners were charming and very welcoming and it was a pleasure to stay here. Well located for all the sites in this part of the region. A perfect home base! Thank you.

We stayed in this lovely apartment for a month and were so sad to leave! It was perfectly positioned, roomy and comfortable. All rooms were large. It would easily accomodate 4 prople. Clean and bright with a lovely courtyard. Well fitted out. Multiple channels available on the TV. Joel was a wonderful host. Parking was great. It's close to everything you need with a boulangerie a couple of doors down, multiple ice cream shops, and a 3 star Michelin restaurant. The village and local area were divine, with lots to do, see and experience. We want to come back and bring friends!

We (two couples) absolutely loved our time at Mont Joie. The house is well set up and Martine and Andrea were very helpful. The supplied guide was an excellent source of info. Beynac is a great base to explore the Dordogne. We enjoyed visiting Château de Baynac, Gouffre de Padirac, Lascaux and Rocamadour. We spent 4 nights at Mount Joie and would have loved to spend even more time in the Dordogne, enjoying Mont Joie and Beynac. A highlight was having our apéritif on the balcony, taking in the beautiful Autumn view, each afternoon. Beynac and Mont Joie are very special, thank you for a wonderful stay.

Amazing property. Views were out of this world. Hosts were friendly. Perfect place to stay.

What a fabulous house, everything as new with many special touches. An extremely helpful and charming host and a location ideal for visiting the major attractions. We were very sorry to leave after 5 days and look forward to returning in the future.

We loved staying here, it was idyllic and we really appreciated how beautiful the house is. We hope to come back

The luxurious cottage was just that. Beautifully appointed with old world charm and modern conveniences. Sometimes we went out to eat and sometimes we stayed in and had really enjoyable movie nights. It is a place to feel really comfortable in. The garden at the cottage, the fabulous castle next door and the wee town of Beynac et Cazenac would have been enough on their own. However, add La Roque Gagenac, Sarlat and Domme in addition to stunning chateaux and gardens in the area make the cottage the ideal base to explore one of the most stunning regions of the world. The only negative is the rather steep and rugged pathway from the car park to the cottage. However, this and the steep walk to the town shops and restaurants are offset by the stunning views to be had at every twist and turn during the walk. It really was a fantastic experience for us.

When we first read all of the reviews on Butterfly Cottage before booking, we thought that they really sounded a little bit "too good to be true". But we have to say they are all completely an accurate description of the property and its wonderful hosts. There really are no negatives! Linda and George, the cottage hosts, are the most helpful and genuine people you will ever meet. From the moment we booked, Linda was in touch with very useful information to help make the trip perfect. She provided suggestions of what to see and do in the area, helpful hints and excellent directions to the cottage from where we were coming from. The Dordogne area is absolutely beautiful! There are so many wonderful places to visit and many were only 15 to 20 minutes away by car. Would recommend canoeing on the river. One of our favourites. The cottage itself is stunning. The pictures on the website are great but it is even better in person. There is absolutely everything that you need in the cottage and lots of personal touches by the hosts that make it special. It makes a very comfortable stay. We had chef Dimitri come to the cottage to cook for us one night. He was amazing and it was truly some of the best french food we had tasted. There is also a larger cottage on the property but both cottages have their own private courtyard and areas and it really feels like you have it all to yourself. Butterfly Cottage is now a very special and memorable place to us, as it was on the grounds of the property (in the jacuzzi overlooking a pretty field) that we got engaged. A first at Les Hirondelles apparently! Thank you Linda and George for the lovely card and bottle of champagne for us to celebrate with. We would highly recommend a stay here! Peter & Katey
