About this property

Beautifully renovated country house in fantastic location and a vast private pool!

The 19th century renovated farmhouse 'Laudinie' is beautifully situated on a hill at the end of a dirt road off a quiet country lane. The house is free-standing, amidst 11 hectares of private land. Those seeking peace will find it here. 'Laudinie' is fully protected from prying eyes - perfect for a private, rejuvenating vacation! The generous sunbathing area surrounding the very large pool (20x45ft, up to 12ft deep) invites you to enjoy undisturbed sunbathing or relax in the shade of large trees. The covered BBQ and lounge space allows for grilling even in (rare) uncertain weather conditions. Enjoy enchanting sunsets from the wide-view terrasse which can be accessed through the romantic courtyard or the living room.
Four bedrooms, a fully equipped modern kitchen and bathroom provide all the comfort necessary to never leave the house if you so desire!

Although privately located, the house is centrally situated amidst innumerable attractions and outdoor activities of the Dordogne. The Dordogne is most famous for its worldclass medieval castles (Chateau Castelnaud / Beynac / Milandes / Marqueyssac), medieval towns (Sarlat / Domme / LaRocGageac / Perigueux) and prehistoric sites (Font de Gaume / Lascaux / RocSt.Christophe). Within 10min of the property you can also indulge in numerous outdoor activities such as canoeing, golfing, horseback riding, mountain biking, hiking, climbing, water and adventure parks etc.

To discover :
Every day of the week a traditional street market is taking place in another romantic medieval town close by. A great opportunity to taste the regional delicacies - a highlight for all gourmets!

Various large and small wineries invite you to taste their produce. Discover the famous wine regions of Bergerac, Monbazillac, Cahors, and Bordeaux and live 'like God in France'.

The region is known the world over for its wealth in prehistoric caves with up to 17,000 years old polychrome works of art (Lascaux 30min, Font de Gaume 10min, Grotte de Rouffignac 10 min), as well as geologically unique stalactite and stalagmite caves (Grotte Grand Roc 10min, Gouffre de Proumeyssac 20min, Gouffre Padirac 1hour).
The village 'Les Eyzies' (10 min) is home to the National Museum of Prehistory and the international exposure and information center 'Pole International de la Prehistoire'.

The medieval castles of 'Chateau Castlenaud' and 'Chateau Beynac' (conquered by Richard the Lionheart) have played crucial roles in the french/english Hundred Years War in the 14th century. Both provide unforgettable visits and great insights into europe's medieval history through museums and fantastic architecture. The 'Chateau des Milandes' and 'Chateau Marqueyssac' are also great highlights that shouldn't be missed.

A large network of hiking trails lead through the whole region. Along wild creeks, through endless chestnut and oak forests, past impressive rock formations and stunning natural landscapes. The property owner's daughter Michela is a professional tour guide and will gladly provide you with options!

There are also seven golf courses in the region, four 9-hole and three 18-hole.

The Dordogne lets children's hearts beat faster, too. The world of dinosaurs and stone age man is approached in creative and interactive ways (e.g. 'Prehisto Park', 'Roc de Cazelle', or the 'Parc du Bournat'). Europe's largest privately owned freshwater aquarium is only 15 km away ('Aquarium du Perigord Noir').
It also has a go-karting park, mini-golf and a fun park with water slides, pony rides, railway etc ('Jacquou Parc'). In addition, there's horse riding and canoeing a stone's throw away.

The ideal holiday region for families with various generations - through the wide range of excursions all ages will find suitable thrills!

Family holiday
We were at the property for the scorching hot weather. The garden and pool were perfect for keeping cool, sitting under the trees or in the seating area. Kitchen well equipped and outside eating areas all comfortable. Only downside - we would have liked a fan for each bedroom! One had to go without.

Beautiful peaceful location
We had a lovely two weeks. The boiler managed to develop a fault while we were there which meant we didn’t have hot water for a day but it couldn’t be helped. The dogs loved their first holiday abroad. A safe and tranquil environment for us and them. The pool was immaculately clean and the pool guy was lovely. Thanks for having us.

A really lovely welcoming French farm house just right for a truly relaxing holiday.
We had a wonderful relaxing 2 weeks in this lovely farm house with the garden. The swimming pool had beautiful water that was a treat to swim in every day. There was plenty to do right on our doorstep so we had a great mixture of seeing the sights and enjoying the lovely pool,garden and terrace the rest of the day. Thank you for a lovely stay.

Wonderful property! most stunning tranquil location.
Just returned after 3 weeks of total bliss in the most peaceful location. Our party consisted of 2 adults, 4 children (aged 1 to 18 years ) and one dog. The property is perfectly located with caves, castles etc within 30min drive. We tended to go to a local village (le bugue) which is about 15 min drive away and has a good size intermarche but also a leader price, aldi and lidl amongst other shops. The owner, Franziska, put together a folder with contact details of local services and a full list of weekly Markets in the area which was very handy. There was also another folder with lots of leaflets about attractions in the dordogne. Franziska is very helpful and speaks perfect english. Laudinie is a traditional, french, rustic farmhouse at its best. A gate leads to the charming enclosed court yard and the large garden is also fully fenced in with plenty of shaded spots which was perfect for our dog.The kitchen is entered via the courtyard, full of character and equipt with everything you would need. To the right of the kitchen is the big family bathroom and to the left is the lounge with a door leading to the big terrace which has stunning views and steps to the massive swimming pool. There are 3 bedrooms upstairs and 1 bedroom accessed via the courtyard. The beds are really comfortable and to my wifes delight came with proper duvets and not just your usual "paper sheets". The house has Wifi and a big flat screen TV with french, german and also plenty of english channels including cbbc and cbeebies. Thanks to the perfect layout our teenagers could enjoy the pool, our little one could get a rest from the sun watching the tubbies, playing with the available trainset or Lego, and my wife and I could relax on the terrace keeping an eye on all of them at the same time. It is also worth staying up that little bit longer to enjoy the night sky with its thousands of stars and listening to the owls. If you are looking for a super clean, traditional, beautiful farmhouse in the most peaceful location than Laudinie is the place for you. We will definately be returning.

Hi! We are mother Franziska and daughter Michela Thomann. We're originally from Zurich, Switzerland, and we're fluent in english, french and german. We both live near-permanently in the Dordogne. Franziska is an acupuncturist and also does some accounting. Michela works as a tour consultant and route manager for an english hiking company in the Dordogne and the adjacent Lot region (atg-oxford.com). She is also developing a personal Lama-hiking activity 10min from the property. We're both happy to provide you with competent information about activities and sights in the region, as well as the culinary delights to indulge in.. We have a big heart for animals and will welcome you gladly with your four-legged companions.

Why they chose this property

Worldclass private swimming pool (20x45ft, up to 12ft deep), fantastic views from terrasse, pool, lounge & BBQ area. Idyllic and isolated yet centrally located in a UNESCO world heritage zone and major tourism region. Numerous prehistoric and medieval historic sites close by as well as traditional culinary delights and child-friendly attractions. Great for multi-generational and pet-friendly holidays.

What makes this property unique

The wide views from the terrasse over the valley and rolling hills is unique and soothing. Seeing as the house is oriented South-West you can enjoy magnificent sunsets from the pool area, the terrasse and also the BBQ area. Our grazing sheep in the adjacent fields add to the idyllic feel. With no neighbors close by, the extraordinarily big private swimming pool (20x34ft and up to 12ft deep) and its surrounding sunbathing area invite you to swim, play and relax at your leisure.
