Valley of the Five Castles, Charming Residence from 1851, renovated like new.

Rated 3 stars by the official organization named "Gîte de France"
Within a radius of ten kilometers you will not have enough time for a week to discover the cultural or natural wonders that surround the town of Montfort. Its castle of course at the foot of the Dordogne, La bastide de Domme and La Roque-Gageac built between cliff and river (Two of the most beautiful villages in France), the castles of Castelnaud and its museum of the War of the Middle Ages, that de Marqueyssac and its famous hanging gardens, that of Fayrac, the castle of Beynac (still one of the most beautiful villages in France). Here are places that will not leave you indifferent. Five kilometers away, the medieval town of Sarlat will charm you with its architectural and historical heritage. Outdoor destination par excellence, with its hundred kilometers of cycle paths, mountain bike trails, hiking trails, canoeing down the Dordogne river, visiting or exploring caves, fishing in white or still water.
There is something for all tastes and all ages.

Wonderful place! Great location in an extremely quaint village surrounding an 800-year-old castle. Close to everything if you have a car. Perfect place, but it could use more comfortable furniture in the living room. But I'd stay there again in a minute!

Stay in Montfort
The location was perfect and the property clean and modern. The showers were really nice and the kitchen very well equipped. It was a little odd not to have a sink in with the water closets but this was minor. It was wonderful to have a patisserie within walking distance as well as a restaurant. We would stay here again.

Beautiful house in a charming village
We loved our time here! The house was the perfect base for exploring the region, and our four-year-old loved playing in the orchard. It was still the off-season during our stay from late March to the beginning of April, so the restaurant in Montfort was closed, as were many others in neighboring towns and villages that serve tourists. We did find plenty of options in Sarlat, just a short drive away. Overall, a fantastic stay!

A wonderful week in a beautiful area
Every aspect of our booking was excellent. Communication with Michel was speedy and efficient. The house was beautifully clean and had everything we could need. The covered pergola was a blessing as was all the outside furniture. The weather was lovely so the coolness of the house was very welcome. We would recommend this place to anyone without hesitation.

excellent stay. Everything as expected
Clean, comfortable, spacious house. Well equipped kitchen, nice large garden. Wifi was sufficient (speed varies between 3 and 60 Mbps) even outside on the terrace. Very quiet, we even saw a deer in the garden our first night. Close to the river Dordogne even-though access is limited near the house but a few kilometer away sufficient beaches. Nice scenery for walks, one starts right behind the garden (8 km).

Family Holiday in the Perigord Noir
The house is close to Montfort Castle, in a beautiful and quiet location with a huge garden. It is very well equipped, newly renovated and there are even toys for small children. Many sights and the most beautiful villages of the Perigord Noir are not far away. The ramp down to the house seems a bit narrow at first sight, but even with our big station wagon it was no problem to drive down there. We can recommend the house without any reservations.

Beautifully renovated in a lovely area
This is a lovely quiet property in a pretty village with bar/restaurant a very short stroll. It is well equipped, the beds are comfortable and lots of outside space to sit and relax. The bathrooms are lovely with big showers. Small uncomfortable sofa inside. There is no air con and the two fans were incredibly noisy so unusable at night. Take lots of insect repellent as we were bitten mornings, daytime, evening and night on any tiny areas not sprayed. Beaches a drive away, loads of places to visit, we had a lovely week in the property, thank you!

Tranquil Get Away
We spent a fantastic 2 weeks at this property. We took our 2 adult children and 1 teenager and could not find fault with it. The house was beautifully clean and had everything we could possibly require. The area is stunning, the weather was hot and it all made for a perfect holiday.

Wundervolle Ferien im Perigord
Wir hatte 14 Tage pure Erholung. Ein wirrlich tolles Haus mit Garten, so wie es inseriert wurde. Die Bilder vom Haus hätten von uns stammen können. Wir hatten einen sehr netten und herzlichen Empfang. Unsere Zeit vor Ort hat nicht ausgereicht, um alle Sehenswürdigkeiten aufnehmen zu können. Tolle Burgen, Festungen und vor allem der Markt in Sarlat ist mindstens ein Besuch wert. Eine wirklich tolle Unterkunft und ein tolles Team, dass sich um die Angelegenheiten vor Ort kümmert. Wir werden wiederkommen.

Nous avons passé une merveilleuse semaine dans cette maison parfaitement équipée, très propre et vraiment au cœur du Périgord noir. Les moustiquaires à l’étage ont été très appréciées, le jardin et la terrasse ombragée sont agréables. Nous recommandons fortement !
