Beautiful Farmhouse with Private Pool and Grounds
Ideal for Family Gatherings and Reunions
Sleeps 10 (5 Bedrooms)
|
|
Our house is in the little hamlet of La Borie, just over the hill from the scenic village of Lusignac with its fortified farmhouse, ancient church and pretty restaurant. The house is set in 3 acres of grounds which include a field, orchard and small wood. The scale of the house is impressive and it has all the features you would expect in a 250 year old farmhouse plus all the modern conveniences necessary for a comfortable stay. Outside the main holiday season we use the house ourselves, so it's well equipped and the decor is an interesting mix of old and new, paintings by friends and family and objects we've collected over the years. It's an ideal location for family gatherings or reunions, as there is plenty to occupy all ages both around the house and in the wider area - wonderful markets and restaurants, historic villages, and canoeing on the river. The Bordeaux vineyards, Dordogne valley and the sea are all within striking distance.
