Photos and Description of the Tremolat vacation villa rental Beautiful, spacious villa in the countryside, perfect for families.

Not far from Les Eyzies and Sarlat, where the Dordogne River makes a dramatic loop, “Les Volets Bleus” is a very private, beautifully-restored 300 year old Perigordian stone farmhouse that sits on 2 acres of lawned garden, in the heart of the Perigord Noir, with magnificent views of the surrounding countryside. Within 3 minutes of the charming village of Tremolat, our spacious home is elegantly furnished with French country antiques, and situated among fig, peach and walnut trees, with three outstanding veranda’s – two that overlook the large, magnificent pool that receives day-long sunshine. Luxuriously furnished, with all modern conveniences, 'Les Volets Bleus' sleeps 12, with 4 double/queen bedrooms and 2 single/twin bedrooms, all with crisp white linens and sumptuous beds, and is ideal for one large group, or for two or more smaller groups, since the Farmhouse and the converted Barn each have their own fully-equipped kitchens, and dining/living areas - allowing independence.

Notes: Note that the Farmhouse and Converted Barn BOTH offer their own kitchens and living areas with dishwashers, microwaves, coffee-makers, hair dryers, TV sets with multi-region Dvds and CD players. 'Les Volets Bleus' is located in the countryside, an easy 20 minute walk from the picturesque town of Trémolat. It should also be noted that there is a highly-regarded 'ferme auberge' (farm restaurant) on the property immediately next door (a short walk down a country lane). This restaurant is open for lunch and dinner most days. It is very reasonable and serves delightful local cuisine. Our guests always rave about their experiences at 'Les Truffieres'. There are three additional restaurants in Trémolat,m as well as a casual pizzeria. This is therefore an ideal location for either eating out, or enjoying a summer meal at home. A well-informed, local couple will welcome you and be of service during your stay, when needed.

Further details for this vacation villa rental in Tremolat, France

Philosophy of the owners, Bill & Janice.: We are the proud owners of “Les Volets Bleus” and purchased and upgraded/renovated the property in June 2005. Although our home is in California, we have travelled a great deal in Western Europe and have rented many properties – some great, and some less than spectacular! We always appreciated cleanliness, comfort, good beds, furniture you could actually sit on, great linens & towels, appliances that really worked, and nice big wine glasses! After buying our dream home, our philosophy hasn’t changed & we have upgraded the standard of the house to meet or exceed the best we’ve seen. Basically, we have designed it to be the way we’d like it if we arrived tired and hungry from across the world. We appreciate the chance that you take when you book on-line and hope that what you see is really what you’ll be getting! We guarantee you will not be disappointed - in fact, most of our guests feel that the reality of the house far exceeds their expectations.

Personal welcome: We have an excellent local manager who speaks both English and French fluently. You will be met personally, and have someone to answer any questions and address all your needs while your stay at our home. Our manager is well-versed in the house and the local area, and is very popular with our guests. We also provide you with very detailed maps and directions for your arrival, as well as information on the area so that you know exactly where to find everything you might need: such as days and towns for the best local markets, and inside tips and suggestions from previous guests. We want you to have the best possible experience in this wonderful area of the Dordogne that offers so much in the way of scenery, markets, activities, food adventures, and wonderfully warm people.

Other Activities: hiking, canoeing

Les Volets Bleus, A great place to stay

Brosnan Harpenden, England
Review Submitted: November 14, 2008 Date of Stay: August 2008
The house, the owners and the situation have everything to make for a relaxing and comfortable stay. The house is owned and lived in, part of the year, by people who obviously have a taste for good living; so the house is equipped for their comfort and as a consequence the standard of accommodation is very high. All of the ammenities are of the highest quality, especially the beds which are fitted with Egyptian cotton sheets.

The owner could n't be more welcoming and actually took the time to book us into a couple of restaurants when I asked her for some recommendations. One knew instantly from talking to her that she welcomed guests into her house and really wished for them to have a nice holiday rather than what sometimes one feels is a grudging toleration of house guests for the sake of the money. The effects of this philosophy was felt all over the house:Well stocked Kitchen with non-stick pans (a rarity in rental places); beautiful wine glasses; Outside furniture and games materials to enjoy the outdoor life; Dvd players and a collection of DVDs to amuse adults and children; mosquito candles and repellents easy to hand for long evenings around the porch; the most beautiful pool you could hope for which was the centrepiece for the children's holiday; well detailed personalised list of local attractions including the local markets and restaurants. These personal touches really made you feel like you were staying at the house of a friend and put you at your ease as a result.

The surrounding area is beautiful and too quaint for words. The house, if you want to walk, is within a 10-15 minute walk along a track to the nearest village of Tremolat which has several restaurants (A michelin starred restaurant), 1 general store and a delightful boulangerie. Hypermarches are not too far away. The house is in a rural setting and only has as an immediate neighbour a paysanne style restaurant which looks great but is n't good for vegetarians (as is most of France).

Things we enjoyed
The pool, Lascaux caves, walks along the river, beautiful town of Sarlat, Dinner at the Le Vieux Logis, walking into Tremolat, Kayaking along the Dordogne, Lovely evenings around the big outdoors table with a couple of bottles of wine, visits to the local markets.
