About This Villa

Just a short drive from the market town of Rouffignac, north of the Dordogne, is the brilliant holiday home Les Rubis, sleeping up to 18 guests in a unique house with two separate comfortable gites. With a dining room especially created for entertaining guests, this is the perfect house for a friends and family get together in this well loved region of France.

The owners have restored this quirky home with a strong nod to its historical past with wood beamed ceilings, exposed stone walls and some antique furnishings, there are even century-old hedges which have been sculptured into hedges to sit on. The contemporary features contrast the character of the house perfectly with modern, new bathrooms, a home cinema room and a fantastic party space with a pizza oven and beer tap. The main house can sleep up to ten guests across five decent bedrooms whilst there are two separate gîtes, each with two bedrooms, allowing up to 18 guests to stay at Les Rubis.
