Property HFT62064, Holiday Villa for rental in Dordogne, Pays de la Loire, France

Just 10 min drive to the Bastide town of Lalinde with its attractive central market square, its beautiful riverside position and varied choice of restaurants and shops. Canoeing and tennis courts nearby. 20 min from Bergerac so ideally placed for visiting its old cobbled streets and only a short drive from a choice of vineyards and walnut groves. Tremolat with its impressive view from the Cingle and Sarlat are within easy reach. Pretty riverside villages of Beynac and la Roque Gageac, are also close by and the ideal way to see these villages is from a canoe on the river! International airport: Bergerac 18km. With superb views of the Couze valley, this is a small château belonging to the great Perigordine families of Abzac until the 16th century and with the Calvimont since the 16th century, with dungeon dating back to the 11th century (not part of the accommodation offered!) There is a large garden with mature trees and some surrounding fields offering in all some 5 hectares, the private pool is 11 x 5 x 1.2-2m depth with security alarm. BBQ. Steps lead up to the terrace and main entrance. Large living and dining room with vast fireplace bearing the Abzac and Beynac coat of arms. Library, with grand piano and door to garden. Bed 1: double. Bath/WC and washing machine. Kitchen with micro wave and dishwasher (slightly old fashioned but in keeping with the château!) and door leading to garden. Large spiral stone staircase situated in the tower off the main hall leads to Bed 2: 2 wide singles. Bed 3: 2 singles. The shower room is at the end of the corridor with WC. Generally the rooms are simply furnished with solid rather than ornate antiques- one can’t help but feel a sense of history here! Cot and high chair on request.
