The house
You will stay in the recently renovated and converted tobacco drying barn attached to our 17th-century house in typical Perigourdine style. When renovating, we kept as many authentic elements as possible and added modern comforts such as roof insulation and double glazing.
This 2-person gite (pet-free and non-smoking) has its own parking space with entrance, and both terrace and garden are private.
The cottage has a 25m² living kitchen with appliances (induction hob, oven, fridge), dining and sitting area. In this room you have satellite TV with DVD player, and free internet (wifi as well as fixed connection is possible). Thanks to the electric heating, the cottage is pleasant and comfortable even in the cold season.
The modern bathroom has a spacious walk-in shower, a hanging toilet and a vanity unit.
The bedroom (20 m²) with double bed is very quiet and cosy thanks to the use of natural materials. Using the wardrobe and clothes rack, you can neatly store and hang out your clothes.
From the terrace and garden there is a sublime view of the Dordogne valley including Château des Milandes. The castle where Josephine Baker lived a large part of her life. With the garden set and deck chairs, you can enjoy the sun as well as the shade, for example under the old cherry tree.

Our gite is situated in the valley of the 5 castles, near Sarlat, in the Périgord Noir. A green wooded rural area with sloping hills and medieval villages. There is plenty to see, do and enjoy here.
Walk through the walnut orchards, cool down in the Dordogne river, see the valley from a hot air balloon, or enjoy the atmosphere at one of the many terraces. Then there are the castles, the gardens and the markets.

Reviews
Sylvie MEEKEL from LE PECQ,
Gîte très calme, très agréable et très propre qui correspond parfaitement au descriptif et aux photos de l'annonce. La situation est excellente pour visiter les jolis coins de Dordogne, la vue du jardin est absolument fabuleuse et le propriétaire est très sympathique et discret. A recommander vivement !
Comment from Michiel en Marianne Lankhorst
Bonjour,
Nous sommes heureux que vous ayez passé un agréable séjour dans notre gîte et nous tenons à vous remercier pour votre avis.
Merci beaucoup!
Bien cordialement,
Marianne et MichielMarten en Ans Hoefakker from Doorwerth,
Als je wilt genieten van een mooi uitzicht, van een oude traditionele verbouwde tabaksschuur in een voortreffelijk nieuw jasje (interieur), van een geweldige rust, en een heel hartelijk en gastvrije ontvangst, ga dan naar Vive la vie. Wat hebben wij genoten. We zijn er 1 week geweest en dat is veel te kort. In een woord geweldig. Marten en Ans
Anita en Jan from Deventer,
De foto’s op de website hebben het heel goed weergegeven: Wat een mooi uitzicht, het Dordogne dal met Chateau des Milandes als middelpunt, en wat een mooie Gite! Marianne en Michiel hebben een geweldige plek uitgekozen om hun Franse droom waar te maken en met veel zorg en oog voor details de tabaksschuur gerenoveerd en verbouwd tot een comfortabele en smaakvolle Gite. We hebben een heerlijke week gehad. Dankzij de gunstige ligging veel uitstapjes kunnen maken naar de hoogtepunten van de Dordogne streek, lekker kunnen fietsen/wandelen en heel erg genoten van de enorme stilte in de royale tuin. Dankzij het fijne bed ook nog eens heerlijk geslapen. Kortom het was echt genieten, we komen graag nog eens terug.
Anita en Jan, Deventer
