The Experience
The honey-hued stone farmhouse is light and spacious with a big kitchen for group cooking (or hire the private chef), a table made for long conversations, toys and games for children and heaps of books. Le Mazet is perfect for two escapees from the main house and is just as pretty with tiled floors and heavily beamed ceilings. The whole place is geared up for families, especially the heated private pool.
The local bakery delivers fresh croissants and bread some mornings if you order the day before, supper can be waiting for you on your arrival day, country walks lead from the houses and you can hire bikes to explore local markets. Wander the gardens and help yourself to fresh fruit and nuts in season, walk down to the auberge restaurant next door for delicious food and natural wines in summer.
Only the sound of distant church bells disturbs the peace and quiet. As the sun goes down light up the barbecue or get cosy round the fire.

Our best travel friends joined us at Le Mas late this spring. Though seasoned travelers all, they agreed with us that Le Mas was the finest blend of creature comforts, peaceful isolation and convenient location imaginable. Rupert and Franck were discrete hosts, but always available and eager to share their recommendations and enthusiasm for this, our favorite region of France. The house was impeccable, the kitchen expertly outfitted, and the renovations designed to balance gathering space and privacy for all. No detail was overlooked. We could not have asked for more.

We loved staying at Le Mas and wanted to say just how impressed we were with not just the property, views and location, but with your attention to detail and care with which you run it. It is so refreshing to find such a clean, beautifully designed and well equipped home to adopt for a week and a wonderful bonus to meet two such lovely guys at the same time. We honestly couldn't recommend Le Mas et Le Mazet with any greater candor.

In the middle of the Dordogne countryside we stayed at this beautifully restored farmhouse. The two (charming) owners have put all their energy, love and taste into restoring the house into a luxurious place to stay. They have managed to keep many of the old elements of the house such as the big fireplace, the old beams and the sandstone walls that make the house extremely homely. The owners were very hospitable (without intruding in any way) and went out of their way to make our stay as memorable as possible. We made great hikes in the region. We will definitely return to this lovely place

I had a wonderful stay at Le Mas and Le Mazet. Rupert and Franck were friendly and accommodating hosts, and had many useful suggestions about what to do/where to eat in this richly interesting and historic region. The property itself was beautiful with a combination of scenic views and French style (the bathrooms were particularly modern). Everything was impeccably clean. Outside was equally pretty, with the pool (which was of perfect size for cooling off) looking over the hills where we routinely saw kestrels and butterflies. The thoughtful Summer Kitchen allowed us to make the most of this.

Location
The neighbourhood
From the houses you can glimpse the hamlet of Sainte-Croix with its 12th-century church, 2km away. The nearest restaurant in Montferrand-du-Périgord is 3km away. Hike, go horse-riding and hire bikes, canoe or swim in the river. Within 15 minutes' drive (9km) are two bastide towns, Monpazier and Beaumont. Both have restaurants, shops and weekly markets, and Beaumont has a night market in summer.
Local points of interest from Rupert Springfield
- The Daily Telegraph reviewed us online with a score of 9/10 and The Sunday Times has featured the properties numerous times. Links on our website. The French Ministry of Tourism has awarded Le Mas with 5 stars.
- There is a great 30 minute walk from the house past a 12th century church with original wall paintings, through a wood to a ruined castle towering over a beautiful Dordogne village, ending at a restaurant serving drinks and delicious food.
- We can arrange for a private French chef (who had a Michelin star for 8 years!) who can cook for you at Le Mas. We also have a local baker who can deliver your croissant and bread order in the mornings.
- Don't miss the best market of the week on Sunday morning in Issigeac - bustling, French and with delicious produce.
- Prior to your holiday we'll send you information about the great restaurants in the area which we can book for you, bike hire delivered to Le Mas for you, and massages, pilates and and yoga in the garden.
- Situated on top of a hill, the houses offer stunning uninterrupted views over the surrounding countryside and the 12th century church, whose bells you can hear across the valley.

Introducing
Rupert Springfield
Rupert and his husband Franck opened Le Mas & Le Mazet in 2015, Rupert having had an antiques shop in Amsterdam, and Franck was a theater producer for Cirque du Soleil. They have enjoyed the challenge of making a successful business so much, Rupert now has a consultancy, Gîte Guru, advising other gîte owners.
My fiancée and I stayed here over the winter whilst searching for a wedding venue. It is beautifully decorated, gorgeous comfy beds, hot power shower, a fantastic log fire for the winter months (and heating!) and beautiful views to enjoy. There is an excellent kitchen stocked with any equipment you could possibly need. Frank and Rupert were incredibly welcoming and went out of their way to help us with dinner reservations and potential wedding venue suggestions! One of the best places I have ever stayed in the Dordogne, we will definitely be back!
