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.

What a beautiful place! I can't rate it highly enough. Rupert and Franck were wonderful hosts - friendly and accommodating. The house was fully kitted out with everything you might need and the bedrooms and living areas were spacious and comfortable . The outdoor dining area was excellent too and where every mealtime took place. The pool, with its beautiful views of the Dordogne countryside, was fantastic. You really didn't need or want to go anywhere else! Definitely a place to recommend and a family holiday to remember. Family in this case ranging from baby of 9 weeks to grandparents!

Another wonderful week (our fifth spring visit) at Le Mas! The grandkids swam in the pool almost every day, and we had great rambles in the countryside. Rupert and Franck recommended a couple of bastide towns we had not visited, Belves and Villereal, and we happily revisited the peacocks, mazes, and Dordogne river vistas in the hanging gardens of Marqueyssac. As always, a comfortable house with enough space to spread out and have a quiet moment, balanced by the big kitchen / dining / fireplace room as a great place to gather. Thanks for a lovely stay!

We have just come back from the most amazing time at Le Mas - everything exceeded my expectations! Rupert and Franck are the perfect hosts, discreet, but welcoming and always available to answer any questions, or to give advice. The house and facilities are excellent, clean and tastefully furnished, with every detail carefully thought through to ensure that guests have a luxurious and well equipped stay. Everything on the outside equally matched the interior, the beautiful heated pool with parasols and loungers - yes, we swam every day during our stay and it was only April!

When I first saw the video of Le Mas et Le Mazet online it evoked such an emotional reaction in me that I cried. It looked enchanting, beautiful and peaceful and I just had to book. We stayed for a week in October and I am so grateful we did. Everything about the house, location and holiday was just wonderful, we couldn’t have asked for more. Rupert and Franck are on hand for questions/ directions/ recommendations- anything you need really- which puts you completely at ease knowing you are taken care of. Don’t hesitate to book, you won’t regret it Xx

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.
Le Mas is the most beautiful place I’ve ever stayed in. Perfect for my special birthday celebrations with family. Rupert and Franck were perfect hosts, offering great suggestions for activities and restaurants, even providing a personal taxi service. If you want something extra special book this place.
