Maison Anubis

Stay in a historic house with glorious views of the Périgord Noir countryside, a leisurely walk from Siorac-en-Périgord and the banks of the Dordogne. This is such a fantastic location for exploring the area with several ‘Plus Beaux Villages’ within a short drive. Maison Anubis welcomes up to 8 guests across its comfortable interiors. We love the charming salon with its wood-beamed ceiling, classic furnishings and French windows opening out to a terrace with outdoor sofas facing the idyllic rural landscapes. The modern light-filled kitchen is spacious and brilliantly equipped, opening out to an al-fresco dining area and barbecue. The ground floor is home to two double bedrooms, both furnished in a simple yet pretty style and each featuring a contemporary shower room. There are two further double en suite bedrooms upstairs beneath the characterful eaves, both more traditional in terms of décor, alongside a relaxing TV lounge. The garden enjoys such a picturesque setting whether dining al-fresco or enjoying a glass of local wine as you admire the stunning landscapes beyond the large grounds. Stroll down to the swimming pool to cool off on warm days overlooking summer flowers, mature trees, lavender and even a couple of palm trees.   Stroll along the country road and within 1.5km you will find yourself in the attractive little village of Siorac-en-Périgord near the banks of the Dordogne, home to a handful of restaurants, shops, a lovely weekly market and a train station as well as canoeing opportunities by the river. Tee off at Golf de la Forge followed by a meal in the club’s restaurant or simply enjoy a picnic of Périgord delights by the riverside. Where to explore next? Perhaps one of the gorgeous riverside villages within a short drive such as Limeuil, La Roque-Gageac and Domme or the bastide villages of Belvès and Monpazier – all are officially classified as ‘Plus Beaux Villages’ in France. Keen gastronomes will wish to experience the markets and restaurants of Sarlat-la-Canéda, Bergerac and even Périgueux whilst historians of every age will no doubt be enchanted by grand châteaux, fascinating caves and the pre-historic sites of the Vézère valley.    Features: Maison Interiors (200m2)-    Living-dining room (46m2) with doors opening to outdoor lounge -    Kitchen (25m2), well-equipped with oven, dishwasher, coffee machine, microwave, fridge-freezer.

Bergerac Airport is just under an hour away whilst there is a train station in the village with departures to Bordeaux, Bergerac, Sarlat, Périgueux and Agen.   It’s around 20 minutes (1.5km) to walk into Siorac-en-Périgord, strolling along a country road (no pavement until you reach the edge of the village). Siorac-en-Périgord is a great base for your stay in the Dordogne, close to the banks of the river for canoeing, kayaking and summer picnics on the town’s riverside beach where locals swim. It’s an attractive village itself with traditional old houses, a lovely market on a Wednesday morning as well as a handful of shops and restaurants. The village is also home to the 9-hole Golf de la Forge with its highly regarded restaurant. In every direction there are so many highlights of the region. To the north is Les Eyzies (18km) and the pre-historic sites of the Vézère valley or head north-east to Sarlat-la-Canéda (28km), famous for its exquisite architecture and gastronomy with wonderful markets and restaurants. What’s more, several of France’s official ‘Plus Beaux Villages’ are within a short drive such as Belvès (6km), Monpazier (22km), Castelnaud-la-Chapelle (16km), La Roque-Gageac (22km) and Domme (27km). Soak up the region’s rich heritage as you visit grand châteaux or bastide towns with historic ramparts, narrow lanes and atmospheric market squares. Look out for festivities, events and weekly markets (including night markets in the height of the summer where you can dine amongst locals accompanied by good wine and live music). A little further afield, spend the day in the historic city of Périgueux (56km) loved for its grand cathedral, medieval quarter and excellent markets, just under an hour by car or train. Venturing west along the Dordogne River, perhaps stopping off at Limeuil (12km) or Trémolat (21km), Bergerac (45km) is a handsome historic town by the banks of the river with yet more beautiful architecture, gastronomic restaurants, wine-bars and boat trips along the Dordogne.   Terms & Conditions: ? €1500 charged to client’s credit card as a pre-authorisation at least 2 weeks prior to arrival and refunded two weeks after departure, subject to full inspection. 4.00 p.m. 10.00 a.m. Yes.
