The Experience
At the end of a country lane curving through forest and field, a cluster of 16th-century farm buildings has been transformed into luxurious retreats by Rupert and Franck who live in the former tobacco barn nearby. They are thoughtful and generous hosts.
The farmhouse is light and spacious with a big kitchen for many helpers – although you can hire a chef if you choose. There are heaps of games, toys and books for children, a long table for sociable meals and lovely gardens with a heated pool. The cottage is peaceful with your own private garden area. You’re left wine and local treats, you can help yourselves to fruit from the orchard and an artisan baker delivers some mornings to both places.
Hire bikes to explore nearby hamlets and villages, swim or canoe in the river, hop in the car to visit local markets and brocantes. These are fuss-free places to stay and very generous to boot.

We have just returned from the most wonderful week at Le Mas and Le Mazet. It's not that we were trying to but we could not find one single fault. Rupert and Franck have clearly thought of everything - the beds are exceptionally comfortable, their restoration is remarkable, every angle and viewpoint is carefully considered and the views and pool are epic (I could go on and on). If you are looking for a relaxing haven amongst fascinating, beautiful countryside and with impeccable hosts then look no further.

We are an American family of four (boys ages 10 and 12) and we had an absolute dream two weeks at Le Mas. We both took time to enjoy the house and the pool and grounds but also ventured out for tours of gardens and castles as well as did a lot of biking and a day of canoeing. Rupert and Franck have created the most beautiful and most hospitable experience. And the region is non stop interesting. We would definitely return and I knew it from the minute that we stepped out of the car and took in the view of Le Mas and countryside beyond.

Location
The neighbourhood
You’re in the middle of the countryside here; the hamlet of Sainte-Croix with its 12th-century church can be glimpsed from the cottage – it’s 2km away, or a 20-minute walk. The nearest restaurant in Montferrand-du-Périgord is 3km, just over a half hour’s walk. Within 15 minutes’ drive (or 9km) are two fortified towns, Monpazier and Beaumont; both have weekly markets, restaurants and shops.
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.
- Monpazier and Beaumont are two beautiful bastide villages, only 12 minutes away, both of which have weekly markets, regular brocantes, night markets and lots more to enjoy.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
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
