About this property

Beautifully renovated country house in fantastic location and a vast private pool!

The 19th century renovated farmhouse 'Laudinie' is beautifully situated on a hill at the end of a dirt road off a quiet country lane. The house is free-standing, amidst 11 hectares of private land. Those seeking peace will find it here. 'Laudinie' is fully protected from prying eyes - perfect for a private, rejuvenating vacation! The generous sunbathing area surrounding the very large pool (20x45ft, up to 12ft deep) invites you to enjoy undisturbed sunbathing or relax in the shade of large trees. The covered BBQ and lounge space allows for grilling even in (rare) uncertain weather conditions. Enjoy enchanting sunsets from the wide-view terrasse which can be accessed through the romantic courtyard or the living room.
Four bedrooms, a fully equipped modern kitchen and bathroom provide all the comfort necessary to never leave the house if you so desire!

Although privately located, the house is centrally situated amidst innumerable attractions and outdoor activities of the Dordogne. The Dordogne is most famous for its worldclass medieval castles (Chateau Castelnaud / Beynac / Milandes / Marqueyssac), medieval towns (Sarlat / Domme / LaRocGageac / Perigueux) and prehistoric sites (Font de Gaume / Lascaux / RocSt.Christophe). Within 10min of the property you can also indulge in numerous outdoor activities such as canoeing, golfing, horseback riding, mountain biking, hiking, climbing, water and adventure parks etc.

To discover :
Every day of the week a traditional street market is taking place in another romantic medieval town close by. A great opportunity to taste the regional delicacies - a highlight for all gourmets!

Various large and small wineries invite you to taste their produce. Discover the famous wine regions of Bergerac, Monbazillac, Cahors, and Bordeaux and live 'like God in France'.

The region is known the world over for its wealth in prehistoric caves with up to 17,000 years old polychrome works of art (Lascaux 30min, Font de Gaume 10min, Grotte de Rouffignac 10 min), as well as geologically unique stalactite and stalagmite caves (Grotte Grand Roc 10min, Gouffre de Proumeyssac 20min, Gouffre Padirac 1hour).
The village 'Les Eyzies' (10 min) is home to the National Museum of Prehistory and the international exposure and information center 'Pole International de la Prehistoire'.

The medieval castles of 'Chateau Castlenaud' and 'Chateau Beynac' (conquered by Richard the Lionheart) have played crucial roles in the french/english Hundred Years War in the 14th century. Both provide unforgettable visits and great insights into europe's medieval history through museums and fantastic architecture. The 'Chateau des Milandes' and 'Chateau Marqueyssac' are also great highlights that shouldn't be missed.

A large network of hiking trails lead through the whole region. Along wild creeks, through endless chestnut and oak forests, past impressive rock formations and stunning natural landscapes. The property owner's daughter Michela is a professional tour guide and will gladly provide you with options!

There are also seven golf courses in the region, four 9-hole and three 18-hole.

The Dordogne lets children's hearts beat faster, too. The world of dinosaurs and stone age man is approached in creative and interactive ways (e.g. 'Prehisto Park', 'Roc de Cazelle', or the 'Parc du Bournat'). Europe's largest privately owned freshwater aquarium is only 15 km away ('Aquarium du Perigord Noir').
It also has a go-karting park, mini-golf and a fun park with water slides, pony rides, railway etc ('Jacquou Parc'). In addition, there's horse riding and canoeing a stone's throw away.

The ideal holiday region for families with various generations - through the wide range of excursions all ages will find suitable thrills!

Charmante maison au calme et superbe piscine
Nous avons passé deux très belles semaines à la Laudinie avec nos 3 adolescents qui ont pleinement profité de la table de ping-pong, des vélos et surtout de la grande piscine (très propre et très profonde idéale pour les plongeons). L’environnement est très calme, avec une belle vue sur la campagne environnante, et proche de tous les sites préhistoriques de la vallée de la Vézère. La literie est de qualité et la cuisine très bien équipée. Super accueil de Michela. Merci pour tout !

Oase im Herzen des Périgord
Die Alleinlage des mit viel Liebe eingerichteten Hauses ist einzigartig. Wir haben uns mit unserem Hund von der ersten Minute an wie zu Hause gefühlt. In der sehr gut eingerichteten Küche ist es eine Freude die auf den umliegenden Märkten eingekauften frischen Lebensmittel zuzubereiten. Auch das romantische Gartenhaus mit dem super WEBER Grill möchten wir nicht unerwähnt lassen. Die Liste der Vorzüge dieses tollen Objekts liessen sich noch lange fortsetzten. Hier kann man die Seele baumeln lassen. Den tollen Pool möchten wir aber doch noch erwähnen. Die Gastgerinnen Franziska und Michaela sind einfach super nett. Danke vielmals.

Großes Haus mit tollem Pool in wunderschöner Umgebung
Wir verbrachten eine Woche in „Laudinie“, einem etwas abseits gelegenen Anwesen, das aber dennoch gut erreichbar und nicht zu weit entfernt von den zahlreichen Sehenswürdigkeiten in der Gegend ist. Entgegen der Beschreibung gibt es sehr wohl Nachbarn, allerdings bekommt man so gut wie nichts davon mit. Der Pool ist wirklich riesig und tief, was für unsere Jungs das Highlight war. Es gibt eine tolle Bibliothek (mit hauptsächlich deutschen Büchern) und DVDs. Obwohl die Vermieterin aus persönlichen Gründen nicht vor Ort war, war sie jederzeit für uns erreichbar und hat immer schnell geantwortet. Was uns nicht so gut gefallen hat: Am Rand der Badewanne war nicht gerade wenig schwarzer Schimmel. Wir haben die Vermieterin darauf hingewiesen, das Problem ist wohl bekannt. Wir hätten erwartet, dass der Schimmel vor jedem neuen Gast wieder entfernt wird. So haben wir die Badewanne nur so wenig und so kurz wie möglich benutzt. Was der Vermieterin ebenfalls bekannt war, ist der Holzwurmbefall in den Balken des dritten Schlafzimmers. Das Knistern dieser Tierchen ist nicht zu überhören, sodass dieses Zimmer von uns nicht benutzt wurde (was aber für uns zu viert kein Problem war). Die Behandlung des Holzes dauert laut der Vermieterin noch an. Der Grillplatz war deutlich weniger einladend, als wir ihn auf den Bildern empfunden hatten. Das Austauschen der in die Jahre gekommenen Holzbank und des kaputten Plastikstuhls wäre eine Idee. Trotz dieser Punkte verbrachten wir eine schöne Woche in Laudinie und haben die tollen Sehenswürdigkeiten und kulinarischen Highlights in der Umgebung genossen.

About the host

Hosted by Franziska & Michela Thomann

Host profile image
Hi! We are mother Franziska and daughter Michela Thomann. We're originally from Zurich, Switzerland, and we're fluent in english, french and german. We both live near-permanently in the Dordogne. Franziska is an acupuncturist and also does some accounting. Michela works as a tour consultant and route manager for an english hiking company in the Dordogne and the adjacent Lot region (atg-oxford.com). She is also developing a personal Lama-hiking activity 10min from the property. We're both happy to provide you with competent information about activities and sights in the region, as well as the culinary delights to indulge in.. We have a big heart for animals and will welcome you gladly with your four-legged companions.

Why they chose this property

Worldclass private swimming pool (20x45ft, up to 12ft deep), fantastic views from terrasse, pool, lounge & BBQ area. Idyllic and isolated yet centrally located in a UNESCO world heritage zone and major tourism region. Numerous prehistoric and medieval historic sites close by as well as traditional culinary delights and child-friendly attractions. Great for multi-generational and pet-friendly holidays.

What makes this property unique

The wide views from the terrasse over the valley and rolling hills is unique and soothing. Seeing as the house is oriented South-West you can enjoy magnificent sunsets from the pool area, the terrasse and also the BBQ area. Our grazing sheep in the adjacent fields add to the idyllic feel. With no neighbors close by, the extraordinarily big private swimming pool (20x34ft and up to 12ft deep) and its surrounding sunbathing area invite you to swim, play and relax at your leisure.
