Peace & tranquillity in the heart of the Dordogne

Inside Maison d’Amis des Hirondelles, you will find a large modern open plan kitchen, dining and sitting room, three bedrooms, two bathrooms and plenty of outside space to enjoy with stunning scenery.

The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need from a washing machine, dishwater, microwave and electric oven. We both love to cook so we have supplied you with all you should need to cook up a culinary delight! However, please do not hesitate to come and ask us for anything which might not be there. Children's crockery and cutlery are also available.

Upstairs, there are three double bedrooms. The master has a king size bed, the second has a standard double and the third bedroom, has two singles and a bunk bed. All bedrooms are tastefully decorated and have plenty of wardrobe space for your clothes.

Newly installed patio doors lead directly out from the sitting room, onto the patio and across to the in-ground swimming pool.

​Outside, the private patio is fully equipped with a dining table, (seating 8), rattan furniture, a Weber charcoal BBQ plus solar and electric lighting for evening dining. The swimming pool also has sun loungers and deck chairs.

There are stunning views across the valley from both upstairs as well as the ground floor, patio and garden.

Both summer & winter duvets are provided as are pillows, bed linen and towels.

A travel cot and high chair are also available.

Wifi is available although please remember, we are in rural France so please do not expect super fast broadband but it does work.

There are numerous books and games for all the family. In addition, there is a smart TV with access to hundreds of French and English TV channels. A DVD player is provided upon request.

Guest access
Guests have access to the whole gite, which adjoins the main house but is entirely private. The owners live in the main house.

Access is either through the kitchen doors or via the terrace patio doors.

Please be advised that due to the layout of the property and its accessibility features, our accommodation may not be suitable for individuals with reduced mobility.

Parking for multiple cars is directly outside the front of the gite.

Other things to note

The Périgord Vert is a region with outstanding beauty, stunning undulating countryside and steeped in history. Here, there is something for everyone be it a gentle stroll around a lake, shopping, mountain biking, horse riding, canoeing, golf or simply sitting in a French café with a coffee watching the world go by.

The Périgord Vert offers some of the prettiest towns, restaurants and attractions that the Dordogne has to offer.

We are perfectly located between Brantôme, Thiviers and Périgueux. Thiviers received the accolade of “Best Market in Aquitaine” for 2022 and is a food lover’s paradise specialising in organic produce. Brantôme is stunningly beautiful and best known as the Venice of Perigord Vert whilst Périgueux is unquestionably a beautiful town to explore and lose yourself in the culture and experience.

We are also only 10 minutes from the village of St-Jean-de-Côle, which is one of only 156 members of Les Plus Beaux Villages, meaning "the most beautiful villages of France".

In addition, Bergerac is only a 1 hour 15 mins drive. This town sits on the Dordogne River and is well worth a visit with its majestic medieval history. Additionally, Bordeaux is only a 2 hour drive away which is also a stunning city to discover with its fabulous architecture, shopping and restaurants.

If you are a wine connoisseur, St. Emilion is a must! Not only will you find some of the best wine, it is also full of charm and very picturesque. You can’t beat a day out here!

We are also very lucky to have some wonderful restaurants all within a short drive from us.

Take a 10 minute drive to St-Jean-de-Côle and you will find four excellent restaurants all located within a truly picturesque setting in the heart of the village.

Slightly further afield (15 minutes by car) to Brantôme, you will find a wide range of delicious restaurants to chose from.

If you fancy something more simple, say pizza, burger or a traditional Périgord salad, then head to Thiviers which is also only a 15 minute drive away. If you’re happy to drive further afield, Périgueux also has many wonderful restaurants to tempt your tastebuds!

We are also extremely fortunate to have two Michelin starred restaurants within easy reach being Le Moulin de l’Abbaye in Brantôme and Le Moulin du Roc in Champagnac-de-Belair. These are not cheap but for that special occasion, we would highly recommend them.

There is something for everyone so come and see for yourself! We look forward to welcoming you to our Maison d'Amis soon!

Great property and lovely hosts
A beautiful house, well-equipped and great for families. The pool is lovely and very welcome in the August heat! The hosts are very welcoming, kind and helpful. The location is peaceful and quiet but in easy reach by car from some towns and activities. Brantôme and Perigueux were lovely to visit and the caves at Villars are worth a visit especially with kids. Highly recommended!

Excellent accommodations & location. Fabulous hosts
Excellent stay! Clean and well appointed. Even had sharp knives! Had everything we needed. Spacious, comfortable patio with a lovely view. Beds were comfortable. A bathroom up and one down. Helen and Steve couldn't have been more gracious and helpful. Would happily return and certainly recommend.
