About This Villa

Stay in a historic Dordogne village house with a pretty outdoor swimming pool, hot tub and gorgeous garden, ideally placed for experiencing the natural beauty, cuisine and excellent wines of this wonderful part of south-western France.

Step through the pale blue door of this family home and admire the original tiled flooring which leads through to the TV lounge with its pool table and on to the living-dining space with an open fireplace. The contemporary kitchen is brilliantly equipped and the kitchen island is the perfect spot for a glass of local wine as the cook of the family prepares meals using delicious ingredients sourced from local markets.

Maison La Truffière sleeps up to 13 guests across its five bedrooms. There is a double downstairs and four other bedrooms on the first floor for flexible sleeping arrangements alongside one family bathroom, an en suite shower room and a bath in one of the bedrooms. Throughout the home we love the traditional features and sense of character alongside modern amenities including optional air-conditioning.

Sit out in your garden with lovely views of the church, cool off in the swimming pool or indulge in the hot tub. There is a little children’s play area and a charming open barn for al-fresco dining and lounging. It really is fantastic having so much outdoor space when staying in a village home.

Located in a small village, the bakery and shop are just a few steps away for your morning croissants, fresh bread, pizzas and other essentials. Stock up on local produce at nearby markets in nearby Montpon-Ménestérol on a Wednesday morning as well as Castillon-la-Bataille, Saint-Seurin-sur-l'Isle and Sainte-Foy-la-Grande on other days of the week. Wine-lovers will adore visiting the vineyards of the Pomerol, Montravel, Bergerac, Bordeaux and Saint-Émilion wine regions.

A glorious lake is only 4km away with a sandy beach, shady picnic tables and nature walks alongside watersports and supervised swimming in July and August. There are of course plenty of canoeing and kayaking opportunities along the Dordogne and L’Isle Rivers as well as tree-top adventures, majestic castles, fascinating caves and beautiful landscapes for walking, hiking and cycling across the Dordogne, Gironde and beyond.
