About This Villa

Gaze out towards organic vines from your gorgeous terrace and swimming pool at La Ferme Aux Vignes, an attractive Dordogne farmhouse set on the edge of a hamlet close to the market town of Sainte-Foy-la-Grande.

Just a 10-minute drive from the banks of the Dordogne, this is a perfect base for exploring this captivating part of south-western France. Step inside this characterful home and relax in the open plan lounge and dining area with doors opening to the lovely terrace with stunning views. Cook feasts in the well-equipped kitchen or outside on the barbecue, using locally sourced ingredients from a nearby market of course, then dine al-fresco with those wonderful vineyard and countryside views.

Sleeping up to 9 guests, there are four attractive double bedrooms and an extra room with a sofa-bed suited to a child or teen. Across this welcoming farmhouse, alongside an ambience of traditional charm, guests can expect modern touches such as reversible air-conditioning, a Smart TV with an Amazon firestick as well as DVDs, books and games, allowing everyone to spend quality time together. Outside, a table tennis means more family fun and the glorious swimming pool will delight all ages.  

Bordering organic vines, arrange a tasting at the hamlet’s winery which produces several bio-dynamic reds, whites and rosés. Also close by, around a 5-minute drive away, is the highly regarded Château des Vigiers, home to a 27-hole golf course, spa, bistro and Michelin starred restaurant.

Sainte-Foy-la-Grande, only 8km by car, is a must on a Saturday morning with its beautiful market, one of the best in the region, whilst other atmospheric markets can be found in bastide towns such as Eymet, Duras, Issigeac, Villeréal and picture-perfect Monpazier.

Don’t miss the old town in Bergerac, also on the Dordogne, or head west to be enchanted by hilltop Saint-Émilion, yet another paradise for wine and history lovers alike.

You could even spend the day in or around Bordeaux with its fascinating architecture and wine heritage, or head further west towards the Atlantic coastline for a lunch of oysters and white wine by Arcachon Bay or to try a little surfing around the vast shores of the Médoc peninsula.
