About this property

16th Century Farmhouse In rural france surrounded by bordeaux vineyards

The beautiful authentic refurbished farmhouse in the Dordogne dates from the16th century and is the perfect place for a group or extended family holiday. The property is set on 3/4 of an acre and is spacious yet cosy and family friendly. With open beams throughout providing a truly rustic charm. Downstairs the entrance hall leads to a large sitting room as well as a thoughtfully equipped farmhouse kitchen, with seating for 8 to 10 people comfortably. Downstairs, the property also offers a bedroom, a utility room and a toilet with whb. Upstairs there are 4 bedrooms and 3 modern bathrooms.
In total it can accommodate 8 to 10 people and has 6 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. Les Mondains is the ideal French rustic retreat coupled with contemporary convenience in the truly rural vineyards of Bordeaux.
The private swimming pool (11.5m x 5m) is definitely a favourite. Set in a very peaceful location with uninterrupted views of the local vineyards and walnut groves.
There is also an outdoor terrace for alfresco dinning complete with BBQ where everyone can sit out and enjoy meals together.

Maison surévaluée
La maison est vaste, l’aménagement intérieur est très « brocante », ce qui pourrait être charmant, mais il n’est malheureusement pas assez entretenu : armoires sans étagère ou sans porte, brûleurs de cuisinière bouchés, porte de chambre qui ne ferme pas, etc. La piscine est belle, mais son environnement est là aussi bien triste : terrasse en petits galets désagréables sous le pied, arbustes morts, bâches qui trainent, volets dont la peinture s’écaille… Les propriétaires sont sympathiques, mais très/trop proches : ils habitent au bout de la terrasse et partagent la piscine avec les locataires.

A lovely place to stay
We had a lovely time staying les mondains. Perfect for a family gathering. Great weather, company, food and wine. Also plenty to see in the local area. Highly recommended.

Why they chose this property

Les Mondains is set in a quiet hamlet overlooking sunflowers, vineyards and walnut groves. It provides very comfortable accommodation for families and is a brilliant location for exploring the Dordogne. Numerous activities for those that want to be out such as nice trails for walking or hikes around the house, fishing, zip wires, canoeing, picnic on the Dordogne, cycling, wine-tasting and local markets for foodies (day and night).
Equally, you can easily visit the world famous town of Saint Emilion (a Unesco heritage site), the bastide towns of Sainte Foy La Grande, Bergerac, the city of Bordeaux and the prehistoric caves of Lascaux. Also close by is a lakeside beach resort as well as a 27 Hole championship golf course with Michelin Star restaurant.
We are approximately 1 hour and 10 minutes from Bordeaux Merignac airport and 30 minutes from Bergerac Airport (car hire is readily available from both airports).
As hosts, we have lived in the area for seven years and are very happy to help out with recommending local places to go/eat/explore. Alternatively this location is the perfect place to relax and have a glass of Rose or to read about the rich history of the many vineyards.

What makes this property unique

A charming stone farmhouse overlooking the vineyards and walnut groves below. The location is very private and tranquil with plenty of private spaces throughout the gardens.Private enclosed garden where you can sit by the pool without hearing the sound of passing traffic.
