Overview
Description
Charming cottage in Les Croux, Monbazillac, Dordogne, France, with large heated pool - set in spacious grounds leading to vineyards. Secluded and peaceful. Re-renovated in 2019 with new flooring and carpet.This stone built cottage consists of a large living room with a kitchen and dining area, one bedroom and a bathroom. The kitchen is well equipped, with a gas stove, separate oven, microwave, dishwasher, fridge freezer, toaster, blender, and a good range of cooking utensils. It has its own outdoor table with comfortable chairs and a parasol.
It is attached to our traditional Perigordine farmhouse, but still maintains its independence. Situated on a plateau at the edge of the village of Monbazillac, it is an idyllic spot to sample the pleasures that the Dordogne has to offer and is conveniently located just 7 minutes from Bergerac airport. It has a lovely heated swimming pool (13m x 6m), shared with the owners, set below a rockery and not overlooked by the main house. One can walk through vines and woodland without leaving the property. The village of Monbazillac is quiet, dominated by its 16th century chateau and famous vineyards. Ten minutes away by car is the town of Bergerac, full of shops, supermarkets, cafes, restaurants, and of course, the beautiful old town (complete with Cyrano statues) and riverside port. There are markets on most days in the bastide towns, and night markets in the summer for local outdoor eating and drinking. We are close to the well known market of Issigeac, which takes place on Sunday mornings., and Eymet (Thursday).
There are bikes available (free), and a trampoline and pingpong for the energetic holiday makers.
Also in easy driving distance: Golf (2), Accrobranche (zip line), Karting, Canoeing, Lazerplay, Winetastings, Caves, and lots of Chateaux!

Peaceful place to leave your cares behind
By Sylvia on 12-Sep-2025Charming gîte in a lovely peaceful area. Great location for accessing the bastide towns of the Dordogne and a great place to come back to after a days sightseeing. The gîte had everything needed for a relaxing holiday in rural France, with an added luxury of a good sized pool.
Beyond superlatives
By Mike on 04-Jun-2025Amazing,…by our third day we were already booking for a return visit in 2026. Despite some personal health issues this year both Jean and I were determined to embrace the location knowing that our physical activity would be lower than we originally envisaged and consequently we spent much more time enjoying all the peace and tranquility the property offers. As mentioned by others in reviews the hosting of Martin is impeccable with support and information but completely unobtrusive so that we felt entirely at ease for our memorable two week holiday. Thank you Martin and Gwen for providing such a wonderful environment.
