Brantome, the Venice of Perigord is close by.  The surrounding unspoilt forests are famous for cepe mushrooms and truffles which feature on the menus in the local restaurants.  Historic Thivier, with its Saturday morning market, offers the opportunity to buy local delicacies.  Slightly further away, but within easy reach, is Perigueux with its cathedral and medieval shopping streets.

The three traditional romantic stone houses offer contemporary comfort away from mass tourism.  They are comfortably furnished and provide a high level of holiday amenities to encourage guests to relax.  The largest property (Le Hibou) is a detached house for 7 people.  The other houses (La Buse and Le Faucon) can accommodate 5 people each and have been created from an old barn although each has its own private terrace and garden.  The setting is ideal for three families and for those seeking peace and quiet, as well as the cultural and outdoor activities to be found nearby.  The large garden and meadow are the location of many recreational facilities, which include a large pool with roman steps, loungers, BBQs, boules piste , table tennis table and badminton net.  Fishing and golf are nearby.
