The retreat is situated in the Périgord Vert, the northern region of the Dordogne, so named because of the lush green woodlands and meadows. The area is one of unspoiled vistas, hillsides, rivers and forests.
Perfect for access to the attractions such as the bustling market town of Thiviers (8 minute drive) with local shops, St Jean de Cole (one of France’s Les Plus Beaux Villages de France), supermarkets etc.; the historic ‘Venice of Périgord’, Brantôme (the Venice of Perigord Vert!), Hautefort (with its impressive castle), Perigueux (the capital of the Dordognes), and within easy distance of Dordogne attractions such as The green way cycle path, Grotte de Villars, Sarlat, Brive-la-Gaillarde, Bergerac, Le-Bugue, Beynac, Martel and Rocamadour.
