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.

We have stayed in many places around the world but Le Mas is definitely one of the best, if not the best. This beautiful property set in the most idyllic rural location surrounded by wonderful Dordogne sites and places is simply heaven. It’s luxurious, stylish in its design with absolutely everything you could need for a perfect family holiday. Such careful thought has been given to everything and Rupert and Franck are so helpful and welcoming. We couldn’t recommend this property enough. It’s a slice of French heaven!

Le Mas is a truly exceptional property and the ideal place for a family vacation with friends. The house itself is beautifully decorated and the surrounding countryside and the views from the property are stunning. It's a haven of tranquility from which we enjoyed runs on trails, lounging in the pool, and meals in the summer kitchen as we watched the sunset. Charming villages such as Montpazier and Beaumont(with its delightful evening market) are just a short drive away. Rupert and Franck are the perfect hosts, always on hand to answer questions and assist in planning. We're eager to return!

Le Mas et Le Mazet were the perfect places to stay for our family group of 12 and Rupert and Franck the perfect hosts - charming and ready with any information or assistance we required. The houses are beautifully appointed, the facilities superb, and the garden and pool perfect. We could barely stir ourselves to go further afield. The only sounds you hear in this secluded spot are the bees and the birds. it is an idyllic place and we were sorry to leave and hope to return soon.

We loved everything about Le Mas and wholeheartedly recommend. The location is stunningly beautiful and provides complete tranquility (apart from birdsong), the property has been beautifully restored and provides every modern convenience as well as lots of lovely extras (welcome treats were hugely appreciated). The owners couldn't be more helpful or welcoming.

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.
This is our 4th stay at Le Mas and every time we leave overwhelmed by the beauty of the location, the excellence of the facilities and the hospitality of it's owners, who are unobtrusively on-hand in their neighbouring property, should you need advice, restaurant bookings, or indeed anything you can think of. Biggest highlights for us with the property specifically are the decor which is beautiful and clean throughout; the kitchen, which has an abundance of anything you could need; the summer kitchen and the BBQ which gives you an incredible view over the pool and valley. I could go on and on!
