La Petite Maison has been lovingly restored over a number of years by the present owners, to create a home that is light and airy, whilst retaining its character. The house is full of charm, with traditional features including original stone walls, stone fireplace with log burning stove, solid oak beams and chestnut parquet flooring - but lots of modern features too. A well equipped kitchen, with everything you could need, including a modern electric cooker with ceramic hob, dishwasher, a large fridge/freezer and even a wine fridge! There is a large collection of cookery books if you need inspiration.

Two sitting rooms, each furnished with comfortable sofas, a dining room with large oak table and six chairs. There is a study area and desk on the first floor.

The lovely garden surrounds the house on three sides, and is made up of lots of amazing areas - the stunning private pool, paved terraces, grass and flower beds. The boules pitch next to the shady arbour and a small orchard. Both the front and side entrance have drives for parking, and large gates to ensure your privacy and safety. There are areas to sit for morning coffee, a lovely swing seat for quiet reading, a formal dining table under a gazebo and a gas barbecue. A comfortable sitting area under a vine covered pergola. As well as sunbeds and parasols set out by the pool, to make the most of the sunshine.

The house is looked after by a local English couple, who will ensure the house is clean on your arrival, with all beds made up and bathroom towels and pool towels available for your use. There will be a 'welcome pack' of food for you, and a bottle of Bergerac wine.
