Villa Perigord

Villa Perigord Villa Perigord is a delightful self-catering farmhouse villa situated in the Dordogne valley in sout The proud owners are Cheryl and James Wright.

Villa Perigord is a charming self-catering farmhouse villa adjoining a limestone barn at the heart of the Dordogne valley in Perigord Noir, France. It is idyllically situated just 750m from the river, with sweeping views southwards across the walnut trees, sunflowers and maize fields of the Dordogne valley. The cottage is located just 4 minutes from Beynac, 6 minutes from Saint Cyprien and 15 minu

tes from the regional capital, Sarlat. There is an award-winning patisserie/bakery less than a mile away (Lucco's), and within 2 miles there's an independent butcher, a wine merchant, 2 restaurants and a snack-bar (by the river). Beynac has a mini supermarket, a delicatessen and a smattering of boutique shops and restaurants. Saint Cyprien is home to a good-sized Carrefour supermarket, a wider selection of shops and restaurants and, perhaps most important of all, an outstanding Sunday market. They purchased La Longere in March 2016 and have spent the best part of a year renovating and decorating it. The work is all but complete and they are delighted to be taking bookings from April 15th 2017 onwards. Cheryl and James are looking forward to welcoming all of their Facebook friends and family to La Longere over the coming months and years. If you are interested, please feel free to drop them a line. And don't forget to take a look at the website, where there's a whole load of photos and information that might just tickle your fancy!

Get ready for some topsy-turvy reading on your summer travels through France. Upside down town signs in France are being used as a creative way to grab attention. French farmers are using this unusual protest to voice their concerns about current agricultural policies.
Vive la France!

Breathe easy in the Dordogne, the fresh air is unreal!

Those vast open expenses of clear Dordogne sky, verdant forests and lush green landscapes not only make the region a haven for nature lovers, but are indicative of healthy and thriving ecosystems.  

Night skies are clear and full of twinkling stars, summer days are filled with birdsong and abundant butterfly populations.  Even the prolific presence of humble tree lichens, which are extremely sensitive to pollutants, are clear indicators of the region’s clean air. 🐦🦋🌳

Go ahead, Fill your lungs, enjoy restorative deep sleep and simply breathe the natural beauty of the Dordogne all in…….

If you are flying into the South West of France, there are a few good airports within easy reach of Villa Perigord.  Bergerac and Brive are the closest and serve as a hub for several low-cost airlines.  Bordeaux and Toulouse are a bit further away but possibly offer more flight options and flexibility. ✈️🌤

All of these airports are well equipped with various car hire options, though it's always best to book in advance to get the best deals. Whichever airport you opt for, you’re going to enjoy a scenic drive before arriving at the Villa.🚘🏡

Don’t forget to look at train links too into Saint Cyprien or Sarlat if you’re up for a bit more of a French adventure.  Train tickets can also be booked online well in advance.  

Easy.  See you there! 🇫🇷

Did I mention the private pool at Villa Perigord?  Measuring 10 x 5 metres, it's big enough to get in some proper lengths.  Surrounded with views down the valley and across the hillside behind the property.  Look skywards and you can often see circling birds of prey in the big blue skies above.  

The south facing aspect ensures that the pool gets sun all day long.   Eventually the nearby cherry trees begin to cast shadows across the water and, if it's quiet enough around the pool, a couple of brave swallows or bats can often be seen skimming across the surface for a quick drink.

The Dordogne is a favourite holiday destination due, in part, to its fabulous climate.  The region consistently enjoys warm summers and plenty of sunshine with the yearly average estimated to be 2000+ hours of those golden rays!  There's plenty to go around!

Temperatures typically average 25-35 degrees celsius in high summer, making the climate  blissfully perfect whether you’re planning some sporty outdoor activities or simply wanting to lie out on a lounger with a book.

The Dordogne region of France boasts a vibrant market culture. Markets aren't just places to buy the freshest of groceries and artisan produce; they are bustling social hubs bursting with vibrant colours and enticing aromas and smells. 

You can certainly find a market local to Villa Perigord every day of the week in high summer - this is just a small selection of our favourite markets to visit, but there are many more that you will be able to find and explore.

Whilst Provence is the region of France most associated with Lavender growing, the Dordogne also offers the perfect sunny climate for this beautiful and fragrant herb to thrive …and flourish it does in our little corner of France.

Lavender is renowned for its beautiful purple flowers and calming scent which attract important pollinators like butterflies and bees. The hum of bees enjoying the lavender in the sun-drenched garden is just one of the summer sounds to be heard at Villa Perigord, before they buzz back to the hives of the local village bee-keeper.

We gather and dry our home-grown lavender at the end of the summer season so its powerful scent can be used to make lavender bags which are popped into welcome gift packs for our guests.

Why is it that some drinks never taste nearly as nice as when you’re on holiday? 
Thinking ahead here: Pastis over ice as the sun goes down on the verandah after a perfect summer’s day - who’s in? 👌🥂☀️

The Great Dordogne River!

Location, location, location is pivotal for any holiday home and it is certainly the river Dordogne that helps to make the setting of Villa Perigord sooooo perfect. 🏞

If you want to be super active, you’ll find no end of water sporting activities to suit including kayaking, canoeing and paddle boarding.  River boat cruises offer the opportunity for you to take in the surroundings at a more leisurely pace and if you just want to enjoy a dip, then it’s easy to find small beachy areas along the banks of the Dordogne that make perfect spots to swim from.  Be aware there is a strong current in the Dordogne - but for some strong wild-swimmers, this makes for a challenge to swim against! 🏊‍♀️🛶🤽‍♀️⛴️

Villa Perigord is a very easy short 20  minute walk away (or a 3 minute drive) from the river.  In the early morning, you can often see a ribbon of mist following the river from the front verandah.  An early morning or evening walk to the river is a really pleasant experience to take in nature and local wildlife. 🦈🦦🐦‍⬛🦢🦆🐎🔭

In high summer there are a couple of small cafes and a restaurant situated locally in Port D’Enveaux, which make perfect informal lunchtime or early evening dining spots.  🍻🍔
