About this property

Fully modernised and restored stone farmhouse

The house is situated on over 5000 m2 of non overlooked, private gardens at the end of a single lane, used almost exclusively by guests (and the postman). The garden offers uninterrupted views across Le Falgueyret valley and wider across the Perigord region.

The garden features dozens of mature oak, pine and fruit trees, (apple, prune, pear, fig, walnut and hazelnut). Please use the fruit/nuts in the garden during your stay!

The house was originally restored with exceptional vision by Bordeaux based artists in 1960’s.

Over the past 6 years the house has been fully modernized respecting the original features, (e.g. all rooms feature exposed original beams), to give a unique architectural and boutique feel combined with traditional features, ( e.g. Bread Oven).

May 2012 we completed a 10x5 m heated swimming pool with fully automatic integrated cover and a 7m x5m terrace. The pool and terrace like the rest of garden are very secluded and private.

The terrace has natural shade from the surrounding trees, but also the option to lounge in the sun.

The terrace has a large teak dining table, seating 8+ comfortably. Sunloungers / recliners are available also provided.

The pool house there is an additional fridge for refreshments and a toilet.

As of June 2016 integrated air conditioning has been added in each of the bedrooms and main living area.

Campagne, tranquillité, détente et multi activités !
Une superbe piscine, une maison agreable en pleine campagne ! La climatisation utile pour les chambres du haut. Tres bien situé pour diverses activités (culture, gastro, fun et sensation !) Un resto ou tout est fait maison dans le village a 3km (la p'tite factory). Bref nous recommandons !

In der Ruhe liegt die Kraft
Wir hatten hier mit Familie und Freunden eine göttliche Zeit fernab vom Alltag. Das Haus ist wunderschön ruhig gelegen und bietet innen wie außen viel Raum zum verweilen. Es ist charmant eingerichtet, da stört es nicht, das paar Dinge etwas in die Jahre gekommen sind. Laurent ist wohnt ganz in der Nähe und ist jederzeit hilfsbereit. Wir würden da jederzeit wieder hinfahren.

Disappointingly could be so much better - old photos
We (family of 4 with 3.5 yr old and 1.5 yr old) stayed in June 2019. The property is in a great location near to lots of lovely market towns and villages. Setting is incredibly picturesque. Communication with the owner before our stay was excellent - owners were very helpful with practical and local information. We arrived at the property quite late on a Friday evening. Checkin was easy but if you arrive late, pickup food en-route as many of the local shops and restaurants had already closed. Its a very rural area. Sadly though, there were a few issues with the property. A primary reason for choosing to stay in this property was that it was advertised as having a heated swimming pool – critical for us with two small children who we envisaged spending the lion’s share of their holiday in the pool. However, the pool had not been adequately prepared: - There was a lot of debris in the bottom of the pool on our arrival - The deck did not appear to have been swept in weeks, evident by the fact that once I’d swept it, it didn’t need sweeping again for the entire week - The pool wasn't full on our arrival and so for most of our 1st day there was a cold hose in it to fill it up - The pool man only came on our third day to properly clean it - The pool temperature on our 1st and 2nd day was only 22 degrees Celsius and did not get to an acceptable 25/26 degrees until our 5th day which meant for most of our stay, our kids didn't want to swim for more than a few minutes. The pool clearly has a heater, but it really should have been fully prepared ahead of our arrival. The owner sent a helpful welcome document ahead of our stay which detailed that the pool had a hard cover with security catches to keep it closed. Again, given we were traveling with young children, this was important for us. The catches were however broken and apparently had been for some time. Sadly there were a few issues with the house as well - really strong small of damp and cleanness levels were very poor. Owners did send cleaners in again, but this didn't improve things. Overall, could be a great property, but really needs some TLC and the photos seem to be about 5-10 years old. Such a shame. I contacted owner after our stay, but no response.

Great Family Holiday
Such a brilliant location, stunning views. Two families staying with children, everyone loved the pool, great place to visit and things to do. A couple of small points that were slightly disappointing the bikes had flat tyres and we couldn’t find a pump so we didn’t use them and the pool side loungers were broken or incomplete. But thanks for an amazing family holiday.

About the host

Hosted by David Harvey

Host profile image
Dominique and David are French and Irish respectively. Along with our 8 year old son Sebastien we live the majority of the time in Manchester, (but try to spend as much holiday time as possible inLe Falgueyret).

In late 2005 having spent a number of holidays in the Perigord region we decided to try and buy a house. We found this property in Feb 2006 and managed to complete the purchase in May 2006 in time to spend our honeymoon and first holiday there in June 2006.

Why they chose this property

We had 3 main criteria when looking for a house...

1. Should be a private single house
2. Less than 45 minutes from a working airport
3. Have a working bakery and a bar within walking distance

The house in Le Falgueyret is unique in terms of the architecture, layout and location. Despite the 6 inches of snow on the ground when we visited it was clear that it was the house for us, (but a much bigger project in terms of work that we understood at the time!).

What makes this property unique

The house itself is uniquely open plan and very practical for holiday living.

The pool is state of the art, fully automatic and heated.
There are separate dining areas surrounding the pool and on opposite side of the house.

The comfort level of the house has been increased with the installation of air-conditioning in each of the rooms and main living area.

We have incredible views across the valley countryside, while remaining very private.

We are part of a beautiful traditional hameau of Le Falgueyret,
(nearest house approximately 250 m away).

Ste Alvere is a living village, 3km away, that punches above it weight with multiple facilities. It is famous among other things for the truffle market in winter.

Ste Alvere is is at the heart of the perigord region with most tourist destination with easy reach, les Eyzies, Lascaux etc.

Finally....there are black truffles in the garden (allegedly!) if you can find them. (There are multiple truffieres within a 1-2 km radius).
