Close to the borders of the Lot, Dordogne and Cantal (Auvergne), this paradise of peace and tranquillity sits above the 12th Century Tours de Merle, on the Franco British frontier during the 100 years war, in an undiscovered land of hills, woods and secret valleys, a utopia for walkers (the property lies in the centre of a range of magnificent walks), cyclists, equestrian and water enthusiasts. Medieval Chateaux and Churches, some of the most beautiful villages in France, (Collonges la Rouge, Salers amongst others) cultural festivals, canoeing on the Dordogne, some of the best food in France are all within easy reach. The local village St Cirque de Loutre (bread and essentials) is 5 mins by car and the main town 10 mins (all essentials including restaurants). Or you can just chill out and lay by the 6M x 12M pool, forget the tourists, pollution and stresses of modern life and relax in complete privacy and peace except for the sound of the birds, and odd rutting stag

Reviews for this vacation farmhouse rental in Correze, France

Rating
5 out of 5

Idyllic and peaceful location

Review Submitted: December 21, 2008 Date of Stay: October 2007
We spent a wonderful week in October 2007,spell bound by the views across to Tours de Merle rising in the early mornings mists, eating our meals or partaking an aperitif outside , enjoying the magnificent views and tranquility. Although the prime reason for our visit was to 'do nothing but relax', we soon found we were off investigating all the beautiful and historic villages around.

The gite had everything one could have wished for, providing that feeling 'home from home', with very comfortable beds and lovely bed linen. The gite was immaculate and the owners most caring, providing the perfect holiday

Although our visit was in October, we never needed to light the wood burning stove, which was in some ways a great shame as I can imagine those cosy evenings by the fire in the evenings after a full and enjoyable day, walking, eating and relaxing!! What more could one wish for!

I would definitely recommend this property to friends but a car is a firm requirement and possibly people with walking disabilities need to take care, as the property we stayed in lies on a hillside. There are, of course, a choice of two other gites, which the owners would be able to recommend to those with mobility difficulties.

We look forward to a return visit.
Owner's Response: There is only one other house available and we would not recommend it for those with mobility problems
