Overview
Description
Le Puits (The Well) is a traditional spacious 200 year old stone built farmhouse set in 2 acres of its own land on a quiet hillside.Planned for 2027 - air conditioning.
Private 8x4m heated swimming pool, patio and BBQ. Original features with exposed beams, stone walls and 2 built-in wood burning stoves provide plenty of character. Fully equipped and comfortably furnished. Free fibre WiFi, UK satellite Smart TV, central heating. Child friendly from school age. Plenty of private parking.
When booking Le Puits the holiday maker enjoys exclusive use of the whole house, pool, gardens, everything - your own bit of France for a week or two. We have tried to ensure that everything is catered for, like a home from home, not just another holiday let. We continually strive to make staying at Le Puits as comfortable as possible, constantly maintaining, renewing and planting. The pool is maintained on a weekly basis by our local French caretaker and his colleagues, who are simply a phone call away should you require any assistance at all.
Excellently located for the many attractions of the region, including Riberac's famous Friday market, canoe/kayak centres, wine tasting and beautiful chateaus. Le Puits is situated by a quiet local road up a hill and remote from the bustling market town of Riberac. The views from Le Puits are across the Dronne Valley to the picturesque village of Villetoureux. The town is only a 3 minute drive or 15 minutes walk for those essentials or simply to grab a coffee and watch the world go by.
We absolutely love Le Puits. Everything about it is just right, we wouldn't change anything. The location is perfect, its a short 15 minute walk to the centre of town with every amenity you could want, but, at the same time, back at Le Puits it's as if the town is not even there, just Le Puits with an ambience all of its own.
Please feel free to call or email me at any time if you would like to chat about Le Puits, we promise to answer your questions as honestly and openly as possible.

Wonderfully peaceful
By Claire on 16-Aug-2026This was our third stay at Le Puits (in three years), which is a testament to how much we love this place! The private heated pool is fab, the terrace offers a sheltered space in the evenings to wind down, while the house is fully equipped with everything you might need. The outside shower room is great - no wet footprints on the floor in the house! The well-equipped kitchen has a dishwasher, standalone gas cooker, a microwave, along with everything you could need - plastic glasses for by the pool, a cool box, pots, pans, you name it, it's there! Highlights for us include the huge wooden table (perfect for those of us who love to do a puzzle on holiday!), the Weber bbq, the smart tv with Netflix, Prime, Apple, etc (you'll need to log in to your own accounts), the proximity to the huge Leclerc supermarket in town (approx 1km away), and the complete peace and quiet that comes from having exclusive access. The only downside might be that the two twin rooms upstairs don't have doors, but curtains, as they're under the eaves - I slept like a baby, but my daughter complained (daily!) about having to listen to my thunderous snoring! Activities - loads of DVDs, books games and puzzles on site, canoeing a couple of kms away, a great market on Friday morning, and lots of places to explore - St Emilion, Angoulême, Périgueux, Aubeterre - read the visitor's book for recommendations. Hoping to return next year!
Idyllic Farmhouse in rural Dordogne

Lovely stay
By Victoria Smythe on 25-Jul-2026We had a great week at Le Puits this summer. The villa was really well-equipped with everything that you could possibly need for a relaxing holiday and the heated pool was fabulous. The property is very well located for local supermarkets, restaurants, day trips and activities in the Dordogne and we had a great time.
A wonderful place to stay
By Maria & Paul on 18-Jul-2026Le Puits is a charming rural property with its own private pool. It is located on a quiet country road however, within five minutes by car you have the facilities of LeClerc supermarket and the town of Riberac with a not to be missed vibrant Friday morning market. Le Puits was very well equipped with everything we needed and more to make our stay very enjoyable. It is within easy reach of some delightful towns and villages with lots of water sports to enjoy or simply spend time relaxing in the wonderful pool.
Le Puits
By Robert Thompson on 28-Jun-2025Another wonderful stay in the lovely Le Puits. A rustic, cosy, private dwelling in the picturesque Dordogne area of Central France. We have visited here a number of times, which the reader of this review will understand confirms it’s suitability to our desires.
Fantastic Holiday
By Michaela Heaton on 01-Aug-2025We had a fantastic stay! The house is beautiful, very private and has lovely views. Communication with the owners was excellent from start to finish, making the whole experience smooth and stress-free. The facilities were spotless, and the kitchen was very well equipped. There were plenty of thoughtful touches too - puzzles, games, DVDs, a smart TV, and fast WiFi, so it really felt like a home away from home. The swimming pool was a real highlight, it’s heated and surrounded by plenty of sun loungers, very private and peaceful. The children loved the inflatables! The local area has so much to offer, with lots of pretty places to explore nearby. We especially loved canoeing around Brantôme and visiting the Friday market. We all enjoyed a day out at the lakes at La Jemaye and Aubeterre. The children had a fantastic time playing on the beach and swimming in the fresh water. Overall, it was a wonderful holiday, and we are already planning our next visit!
