This family-friendly holiday estate is situated in the Périgord Noir and is set on a hill-side, overlooking the Dordogne valley. All properties are bookable individually, but this estate is ideally suited for extended groups of families and friends who have the privacy of their own individual properties combined with the benefits of shared outdoor facilities. The booking page allows you to select adjacent cottages where you may want to keep together.

Périgord Noir encompasses the central part of the valley of the Dordogne, and the valley of the Vézère. This is the distinctive Dordogne country, deep-cut valleys enclosed by the water-smooth cliffs their rivers have eroded, with fields of maize in the alluvial bottoms and dense oak woods on the heights, interspersed with patches of not very fertile farmland. Plantations of walnut trees (cultivated for their oil), and prehistoric-looking stone huts called bories are other hallmarks of Périgord Noir.

The weather is greatly influenced by the warm Gulf Stream. Aquitaine, therefore, has a very temperate climate with mild winters and warm sunny summers. Outside activities are well catered for including canoeing ,walking, horse- riding, lawn-tennis, mountain biking, paragliding, and of course pétanque. There are 3 local 18-hole golf courses.
It is here in Périgord Noir that the underground is laced with prehistoric painted and engraved caves. Over 150 sites line the Vézère river alone. The region is dark with trees, especially walnuts, for which it is famous, as well as being known for its black truffles.

Sarlat-la-Canéda, capital of Périgord Noir, has a big Saturday market which spreads its stalls of geese, flowers, foie gras, truffles, walnuts and mushrooms in season across the central Place de la Liberté.
If you like history, ancient castles and fortifications, prehistoric painted caves, natural beauty, and great cuisine you would not completely cover the area in a week.
