Breathtaking view!
Beautiful cottage in a beautiful environment. The house is well equipped and the owner, Ms Sandifer, was warm and helpful (thank you, Mary). The best: a magnificent view with a small patio to enjoy it. A perfect French vacation!

Lovely cottage in a lovely area
This was a very nice cottage in a lovely part of the world. It was well equipped, spacious and clean and in an idyllic setting in the vineyard with fabulous views over the Dordogne River. Mary and John were lovely hosts and John very kindly showed us around the winery and explained the wine making process to us. Do try some of their Rose wine which was excellent. We also loved the red squirrel that visited us daily to collect walnuts that had freshly dropped from the trees. The cottage is easy driving to the great and famous towns and villages in the area and Mary told us which were the best markets around. Do try Le Gensake restaurant in nearby Gensac, we had 2 wonderful meals there. Enjoy!

séjour en Dordogne
Séjour très agréable dans ce joli gîte. Maison avec beaucoup de charme dans un environnement reposant et magnifique. Les propriétaires sont charmants. Ils nous ont fait partager les délicieux fruits et légumes de leur propriété. Le vin qu'ils produisent est également une réussite. Nous vous recommandons vivement cette location pour y passer de très belles vacances. Encore merci à Mary et John pour ce moment.

Exceptional!
This was a very comfortable apartment and had everything we needed. It is well maintained and enjoys a beautiful location overlooking the valley. It is very quiet located in the vineyard operated by John and Mary who were happy to share their wine making experiences with us. We used this as a base to explore the right bank of the Bordeaux area and areas east. John and Mary were wonderful hosts helping us in many ways but not intrusive. We hope to return.

Fantastic house and hosts with wonderful birds
Lovely house with everything you need for a comfortable and relaxing holiday. Great view from the patio which changed with different light and was great in the morning with mist clearing from the valley. John and Mary were super and made us feel very welcome.Lovely walks from the house. 36 species of bird seen in the garden and vinyard area. Every Blackcap and Pied Flycatcher seemed to have migrated through here. Brilliant holiday.

About the host

Hosted by Mary or John Sandifer

Host profile image
John & Mary Sandifer helped John's parents care for this family home and property since the early 1990's and assumed management in 2004. It has been our pleasure to welcome guests and manage the rental of the Petit Roque cottage since 1999. We are a French-American family with 3 children, and have lived in New York, London and Paris. But the Côte de La Tourbeille is the place we have always called home. In 2011 we took over the wine making work of the vineyard; our 2012 vintage won a gold medal in the Concours de Bordeaux. Since 2014 we also have been making a Rosé. "l'Esprit de Jeanne," and the La Tourbeille "Reserve" aged in oak barrels. Please see our story on our site

Why they chose this property

Le Domaine du Petit Roque on the Côte de La Tourbeille is a 100-acre property that has been in our family since the 1920's. The pastures are now used for raising grass fed cows (the vines benefit from this organic fertilizer ) and we are currently developing a large fruit orchard - John adores making home made jam. The guest cottage 'La Maison du Petit Roque' is set on the border of the vineyard, over looking the Dordogne River Valley.

What makes this property unique

When we walk the vineyard or the gardens here on this hilltop, we are always soothed by the calm atmosphere and transported by the wonderful views of the Dordogne River and Valley.
