Les Tourterelles

Les Tourterelles is a perfect base from which to explore the Dordogne’s medieval villages, vineyards, markets, chateaux and gardens. Distances are never far and the roads are stress-free. We found long woodland walks and paddled our canoe with dragonflies for company. We would never have found the local farmer’s homemade bread, or the magical night market at Bouzic without Annie’s advice. Nor would we have eaten at such wonderful restaurants. Such a spacious, comfortable and restful place to be, in a very friendly hamlet.

Annie’s apartment in the tiny hamlet of Le Peruyzel is a great place from which to explore the area where distances are never far. Annie offered great advice so we were able to buy farm-made organic bread and book wonderful restaurants. Over 2 weeks, we explored medieval villages and towns, canoed the Dordogne, saw walnut oil being pressed and visited markets including a fabulous night market at Bouzic . We saw every garden in the area open to the public as well as seeking out vineyards and sampling Bergerac wines. All from a very comfortable studio with a welcome natural plunge pool.

Annie is a perfect hostess, full of knowledge about the area, and concerned to make your stay really comfortable. The rain-water plunge pool is a lovely idea, fresh water with no chemicals and a life-saver on really hot days. The bed is very comfortable and the bathroom truly luxurious. This part of the Dordogne is full of interesting places to visit, and is so green and heavily wooded, it is delightful to drive around. Annie's house is very near the Dordogne river itself, with boat trips and so many chateaux to visit. And she knows the best places to eat!

This little place is really beautiful. We thoroughly enjoyed our week's stay in this very interesting area. The little walled garden and natural pool is just perfect. We are a retired couple and loved the garden for afternoon naps and a cool-off on the pool. The owner is most helpful and full of helpful information. We would recommend this place.

Les Tourterelles was a lovely apartment in a lovely peaceful setting. The apartment was the perfect base for exploring the area. The owner Annie was very helpful and gave lots of useful advice. I would thoroughly recommend this apartment for anyone wishing to visit the dordogne.
