About This Villa

Sur La Colline has been truly blessed by an enviable position on a hill in the Périgord Noir forest, overlooking the Dordogne River with views as beautiful as a landscape masterpiece painting.

Although this is a natural countryside setting, guests can stroll to a hamlet in only 20 minutes, where there are three restaurant-bars and a bakery, and in addition to admiring the river from the terrace, a short 15-minute walk will take you down to its edge, for swimming and fun watersports. Nearby is the Cingle de Montfort, a place of stunning natural beauty and breathtaking views, and Sarlat, the ancient gem of the Périgord Noir is only a 15-minute drive away.

This attractive and spacious family villa is a lovingly restored old French chartreuse, with its typical long stone walls and pretty windows – a chocolate-box farmhouse in the middle of seven acres of private woodland. Indoors, comfortable and homely rooms are bathed with light and magnificent views from the outdoors. Lovely touches have been included with families in mind, such as a small nursery room, a separate library-study and two fridge-freezers. Outdoors the terraces and private swimming pool are like grand stages from where to admire the mesmerizing landscape all around.

Guests are spoiled for choice as far as attractions go with so much on offer at a short distance. A village with good amenities and a Sunday market is only a 10-minute drive away. Besides the river activities there is also hiking and cycling, and a host of interesting things to see and do such as caves, troglodyte villages, gardens and castles. Not to mention pretty market villages, vineyards, restaurants and some of France’s finest food and wine.

Sur La Colline is an enchanting home in a breathtaking setting in the heart of the Périgord Noir where castles, caves, market towns, vineyards and restaurants offer endless delights for the young and old.
