Overview
Description
Seeking the ideal getaway? Then look no further than Bernadis, perfectly positioned within walking distance of the historic hilltop bastide village of Monflanquin, one of France’s "plus beaux villages”. Bernadis sits within the grounds of your hosts' (Clare and Damon) family home, at the end of a no-through road. The property retains the charm of the original building, but with a modern twist, and comprises a quirky kitchen/dining room, separate snug and three bedrooms which are configured to accommodate either a family with 2 children or 4 adults (with use of 2 double beds and 1 small double bed across 3 bedrooms). Outside there is access to a large pool, sunbathing terrace (with sunbeds for everyone), covered summer kitchen and outdoor seating away from the pool for relaxing evenings enjoying our wonderful sunsets!For the more active minded there are lovely country walks, accessible from the property, and electric bikes are available on site should you wish to explore further afield. Guests are also welcome to use our outdoor table tennis, badminton and darts! Enjoy a range of restaurants and bars in Monflanquin, where the village comes alive with its weekly summer night markets and annual medieval festival (mid August) with parades, entertainment and period costume. Why not explore some of our delightful neighbouring bastide villages, including Villereal, Monpazier and Pujols? Or venture a little further and take a boat trip/kayak along the beautiful Dordogne or discover the many vineyards dotted around our beautiful area.
We are 5 mins drive away from a large Auchan supermarket (open 7 days a week) and 45 mins away from Bergerac Airport (pick up/drop off can be arranged for an additional charge). Toulouse and Bordeaux Airports are within a couple of hours’ drive and, from Calais, Roscoff or Cherbourg, it’s a 9 hour drive.

By Paul & Esther on 17-Aug-2025We have just spent nearly four weeks at the Gite of Damon & Clare just a short way outside of the beautiful old village of Monflanquin in South West France voted one of the most beautiful villages of France and with fair reason. The position of the Gite is just right and very peaceful with lovely surroundings gardens. The Gite was marvelous and so well equipped for all holiday needs. The pool was of great benefit and very well kept and maintained daily by Damon and the weather was just as we like it not too hot nor too cold. The electric bikes that are supplied when renting the Gite are a very nice touch and l was able to go for some super rides each day exploring the beautiful area. Damon & Clare are great hosts and always available for local advice should one need it. They are so lucky to be living in this area - it is a real paradise. The night markets in summer are probably our favorite way to pass the evening with a nice bottle of wine and a local meal of one’s choice sitting outside in the warm evening air . There are so many of these in the area that one is spoilt for choice on most evenings of the week. A couple of our favorites apart from Monflanquin are Gavaudin on a Sunday night and Salles on a Wednesday night just a short drive outside of Monflanquin .There are also many good restaurants in the old village of Monflanquin but if one wants to go further afield there are several charming old villages most within a 20 to 40 minute drive on very quiet country roads. We have already booked to come back to Damon & Clare and their fabulous property for next summer and can’t wait. Thank you both for a very enjoyable holiday and we hope many more to come. Paul & Esther from Jersey, Channel Islands.
Beautiful Gite for family holiday
By Natalie Delaney on 03-Aug-2025The gite provided the perfect base for exploring the surrounding bastille towns, as well as relaxing. We loved the space that the gite provided for our family for a weeks holiday it was styish and beautifully decorated throughout, the little things have been well thought out from pool towels to plenty of games available. The pool and games shack were a clear favourite for our children. Thank you Clare and Damon for being excellent hosts.

Clare and Damon were impeccable hosts. Thank you for a wonderful stay, we would love to come back
A fantastic family holiday
By Lorna Eastaugh on 05-Jul-2025We have just returned from our holiday in the Monflanquin area. Clare and Damon have created a wonderful environment and we had a fantastic time! The villa was perfect and had everything we required. We had our own private area but also full access to the lovely pool area and gardens. With two active children the games area was excellent to keep them amused. The accommodation was very comfortable and we loved the ‘outside’ kitchen. Would thoroughly recommend
