Lartimache is a tiny hamlet just 2.5 km from La Chapelle Montbrandeix on the borders of Dordogne and Haute Vienne in the Perigord Limousin National Park - an unspoilt region of rolling wooded countryside interspersed with numerous rivers and leisure lakes. Local shopping is at Cussac and St Mathieu with the larger centres of Limoges, Angouleme and Perigueux all within an hours drive. Lively markets are held each week at nearby Piegut and Nontron, and there is an excellent choice of local restaurants to suit every budget. - 'Chez Jules' just 5 mins away and 'Hostellerie St Jacques', a gourmet's feast to rival any top London restaurant, a 15 minute drive. The beautiful town of Brantome, the little Venice of France, is a 30 min drive and after exploring the market here you can hire a canoe for a trip down the River Dronne.

LARTIMACHE

JIG Newcastle
Review Submitted: July 15, 2008 Date of Stay: May 2008
First impression is WOW the property is certainly unique - Decor is stunning and all bedrooms are airy and with own en-suite - ideal for big families or groups. There are swings, table tennis, some toys and the local wildlife/animals to keep the kids amused. The Donkeys live another barn which is next to the property - they are very friendly and love fruit/veg leftovers!! Location is good - It only took 45 -50 mins from Limoges airport and note that most people book Avis etc for car hire - we had cite europe booked through Holiday Autos and so walked straight in and got the keys. However everybody else was queuing for the main car operators - so if you do go with them - get your luggage and exit quickly to pick it up otherwise you could be hanging around for a while..........
A 20 min walk from lartimache approx 2 kms to local village and chez jules bar - no english spoken but seemed friendly.If you leave the property entrance and go left towards the big oak lake, keep going for 1/2 mile and you will find a lily pond full of singing frogs - our kids loved it. Also not far (1/2 hour) from Lake Estephe - absolutely beautiful spot with beach play park cafe restaurant etc; all clean and well maintained - we spent many days here.
In all we saw; Deer,buzzards,hawks,lizards,frogs,fox.rabbit all locally so keep your eyes peeled.
The only 2 major drawbacks of this property were; the pool is not heated and as it is housed on the upstairs floor within the barn walls - it was very cold. We were here end May and even with some sun on it all day, the water was just bearable.
The other one is the washing facilities - it is an old drum machine and doesn't work very well - we had mixed weather and by the 2nd week were struggling - It would have been a god send if we had had a tumble dryer as well!
Having said that - this are small niggles and we still had a fabulous holiday, and would return again.
