Holiday Home accommodation in St Privat des Pres, Dordogne
Maison de Maitre with Private Pool in Enclosed Garden
Peaceful Location in Cente of Historic Village, 12km from Riberac
Sleeps 8 (4 Bedrooms)
|
|
Dating from the early 1800s, the house is situated in the centre of the historic village of St Privat des Pres. It was the original post relay station house and stables for the village and has been beautifully restored. It provides secure off-street parking for 3 cars within the gated courtyard. The house is essentially on three levels and has everything you may need for your stay. All the windows have shutters and in the warm summer mights it is just magic to sleep with the windows wide open and the shutters closed. In typical French style the house fronts directly onto the street although we usually use the side entrance through the double gates and the courtyard. The village has a small general store (Alimentation) as well as a small butcher within a 100 metres of the house. It is 12km from the regional market town of Riberac which has everything you will need and more. Both Perigueux and Angouleme are about 40 minutes away by car and Bordeaux one and a half hours.
