Description

Up to 12 guests - 6 bedrooms - 4.5 bathrooms
At a glance: Large pool, 1 acre garden, child friendly, peaceful location.

In the heart of the Dordogne region (20 minutes from Bergerac airport / 10 mins from Ste-Foy-La-Grande) set amongst rolling vineyards, sits the charming Le Petit Vigier in a one-acre rural setting with a large swimming pool.

Full of character, the property provides six bright, spacious bedrooms in the main house and separate summer house, including three en suites, a large family kitchen and shaded terrace, comfortably accommodating up to 12 guests. Children and pets are welcome.

The original gatehouse of nearby Chateau Golf des Vigiers, the eighteenth-century stone villa has been recently renovated with new bathrooms, a fully modernised kitchen/diner and a large living room. The separate summer house, 20m from the main house, has been newly refurbished in 2024 to provide two generous en suite bedrooms overlooking the beautiful 12m x 6m swimming pool, which catches the sun all day.

It is extremely rare to find a pool of this size and it is a highlight of this property. Newly lined, with a lockable gate, fencing all the way around and gentle steps into the shallow end, it is safe for young children. Surrounding the pool is a large patio furnished with sun loungers and parasols, with a covered terrace leading up to the summer house entrance.

Situated on a secure, gated one-acre plot with well-maintained gardens and a small woodland, Le Petit Vigier comfortably caters for families and large groups. Numerous activities and games are provided to keep everyone entertained, including a boule court, table tennis, pool table, dart board, tree house and plenty of space for ball games. A shaded terrace, lined with wisteria, roses and vines, runs along two sides of the main house, perfect for al fresco dinners, BBQs and sundowners.

With no direct neighbours, guests can enjoy the peace and quiet – or make as much noise as they like without fear of disturbing others. Le Petit Vigier’s thick stone walls and wooden shutters do an excellent job of keeping the property cool during the height of summer, when temperatures can reach the mid to high 30s.

The main house accommodation:
Bedroom 1 - Large king size en suite, additional single bed (space for travel cot if required)
Bedroom 2 – Large double bedroom (space for travel cot if required)
Bedroom 3 - Double/twin room opening onto the terrace
Bedroom 4 - Twin bedroom
1 modern family bathroom
1 separate WC
Large fully equipped kitchen-diner (American-style fridge-freezer, range cooker, double oven, dishwasher, microwave, washing machine, Nespresso machine)
Comfortable living room with sofa, armchairs, a new Smart TV (Netflix) and board games

The summer house accommodation:
Bedroom 1 – King size bed, additional single bed, brand new en suite shower room
Bedroom 2 – King size bed, en suite shower room
Both rooms have space for a cot (on request)

All bed linen and towels are provided free of charge. Laundry and cleaning costs are included in the rental price. A Welcome Pack is provided including cold drinks, bread, butter, milk, cheese, etc.

Local Area

The property is set amongst picturesque countryside, approximately 7km (10-minute drive) from the market town of Saint-Foy-la-Grande. Ste-Foy hosts a lively market every Saturday with a huge range of local produce including wine, cheese, meat, fish, bread, fruit and vegetables. There are also several boulangeries, cafes, bars and restaurants. A large Le Clerc supermarket is located just outside the town.

The medieval market towns of Duras, Eymet, Issigeac and Monpazier are all within a 20 - 30-minute drive, whilst beautiful St Emilion is 40 minutes away – the perfect location for lunch, shopping and wine-tasting.

Nearby activities include:

- Canoeing, kayaking and paddleboarding along the Dordogne River which flows through Ste Foy
- A cycling tour of the numerous local vineyards (bikes can be hired locally)
- Golfing, spa and cocktails at the magnificent Chateau des Vigiers, on the doorstep
- Treetop high wires, zip wires and forest adventure trails at nearby Des-Chenes-toi Adventures (30 mins)
- Vibrant night market with food and live music every Wednesday in Monsegur
- Day trip along the Dordogne, visiting the many medieval castles and historic towns including Beynac and Domme

For those choosing to fly/drive, the nearest airports are Bergerac (25 mins) and Bordeaux (90 mins). A fast train service runs direct between Bordeaux and Ste Foy.

Excellent place for a large gathering of family / friends

By Ed Olhausen on 13-Aug-2023

Lovely location with loads of vineyards right on the doorstep. Wine tasting at a couple of local châteaus was a highlight. Lots of day & evening markets around the area too. The house had a lovely big pool. The kitchen was amazingly well equipped. Beds were all very comfortable.

Holiday review - Le Petit Vigier

By Lesley Lowe (Shaw) on 14-Jul-2022

Just back from a wonderful two weeks at Le Petit Vigier. The house is lovely and the kitchen facilities and outdoor eating area easily accommodated our family group We particularly loved sitting on the terrace for morning coffee and evening drinks, and much fun was had playing table tennis, darts and boules. The swimming pool is the best we have ever experienced with a ‘gite’ rental, and the expansive garden was lovely and very much enjoyed by the whole family including our dogs! The surrounding area is beautiful and there are supermarkets and a fantastic boulangerie within a shot drive. All in all a great holiday.

Wonderful family holiday home

By Ruth Hutchinson on 10-Jul-2022

A fantastic holiday home for a large group / multi-generational party. We're just back from a wonderful two-week holiday here. The swimming pool was hugely popular, and is the best we've ever had with a rental property - large, fenced and suitable for all ages and abilities, and with no neighbours to worry about noise. There is a wide range of other games and activities - including boules, table tennis, dartboard and board games. The property, and the way it is run, has a very welcoming, relaxing feeling - as though the owner has just popped out for the day. Thank you for sharing this lovely home with us.

Fantastic house for a family holiday

By Sarah Lawrence on 28-May-2022

We had a wonderful stay at Le Petit Vigier. The house is beautifully decorated with a big family kitchen, modern bathrooms and a fantastic wrap around terrace shaded by wisteria - the ideal place for drinks, meals and a game of table tennis. It's perfectly set up for a large group and has all the equipment you'd need. The best part is the pool with is large with steps down and a ridge the whole way round the edge meaning kids are never far from being able to stand, even in the deep end. Saint-Foy has a lively Saturday market and St Emillion, Eymet, Bergerac and Issigeac are all within easy reach. Several nice family restaurants nearby. We hired bikes, toured several vineyards and kayaked on the Dordogne. Thanks for having us, we'll be back!

Our best holiday in France yet!

By Leah Fentiman on 26-Jul-2019

Fantastic stay at Le Petit Vigier. It has everything you need for a holiday with young children, meaning we didn’t have to pack things like cots - it has cots, high chair, bath mat, toys/Wendy house, inflatables, baby play mat, bouncy chair etc. Plus the pool has a safety gate and fencing around it for extra peace of mind. The house itself is beautiful, in stunning surroundings with a large garden, fantastic big clean pool with shallow steps for children, tree house, Wendy house and large pool house with additional accommodation. Very spacious when there are multiple families. The bathrooms and kitchen are brand new, with the kitchen being very well stocked. The shutters mean the rooms can be blackout and cool at night - an extra win! Easy access to beautiful towns including Saint-Emilion and Brantone. Will definitely be returning, best holiday in France so far!
