The Experience

There’s plenty of space with four large communal rooms, terraces and outdoor dining areas. The kitchen/dining room with its huge stone fireplace, oak table and all the cooking kit you, or a private chef, might need is at the heart of it all. Just a few steps away is one of the terraces overlooking the pool and garden – a shady spot for lunch. Thick stone walls keep the sitting rooms cool in summer and there are games, books and entertainment for the odd inclement day.

Outdoors find an acre of stunning garden, secure and all yours with a heated saltwater swimming pool, plenty of places to sit or eat, comfortable sun beds, table tennis and a choice of barbecues for long evenings of convivial fun and good food. The tower is a grand spot for escapees with long views over the valley.

Bedrooms are spread across the three floors: all are very comfortable with crisp cotton sheets and their own shower rooms – one has a claw foot bath.

Reviews

This is a very special place indeed- the owners have transformed this lovely stone house into a perfect holiday home- with loads of places to gather, eat, cook, sleep and play. The surrounding countryside is unspoilt and peaceful and incredible walks start from the moment you take a step out the front door. The wonders of the Dordogne await you, if you can bear to leave the property.

Second visit to this beautiful haven. The house is so impressive and the standard of presentation is exceptional. Everything is of the highest quality. The hosts are very attentive but not intrusive and is part of our holiday to socialise with them.The region is so beautiful , the views from the property are wonderful with amazing sunsets.Really hope to visit again


Kathy, Lindon

We had the most amazing time at Maison Montruf, we couldn’t have asked for better! Paul and Charlotte were the best hosts and their attention to detail is second to none.They were always on hand to help and give us advice on the area, very glad we took their restaurant recommendation and went to Le Petit Leon as we had an amazing meal there. The house and the garden are beautiful and an added bonus was the salt water pool which was so nice to cool off in! The house has been equipped with everything you could possibly need to make your stay perfect. Would love to go back!


Sue, Droitwich

Maison Montruf is absolutely stunning. The house is so luxurious with everything you could wish for and more. To be able to breakfast looking at the fabulous views is beyond words. Paul & Charlotte couldn't do enough for us which made this holiday one I will treasure. We arrived as guests and left as friends and will certainly be visiting again.


Bernie, Banbury

Stunning property with the most amazing views such a beautiful setting.We had a fantastic memorable very special family holiday. 🥰 Paul and Charlotte are lovely friendly hosts ensuring you have the most perfect stay. Monty and Rufus their gorgeous dogs also make you so welcome. Maison Montruf has everything and more to ensure your stay is perfect. Very much a 5🌟plus location 😍


Location

The neighbourhood

You're surrounded by hundreds of acres of forest filled with wildlife and there are marked trails for walkers. You're just a short walk from the river (hire canoes and bikes locally) and 3kms from the village of Saint-Léon-sur-Vézère (classified as one of the Most Beautiful in France) with lots of good restaurants. Montignac and the Lascaux caves are a 15-min drive

Local points of interest from Charlotte & Paul Bransbury-Harris

  • Centrally located in the Périgord Noir most of the “must see / do” attractions and towns are within an hour’s drive from the house. For the active there is a fantastic choice of walks and cycle routes and canoe hire companies are just a 10 min drive away.
  • If relaxation is what you prefer then the pool and large terrace is the perfect place to recharge your batteries. The view across the valley is stunning and the sunsets are truly magnificent.
  • There are no hidden extras. WIFI, UK TV and Netflix, cotton bed linen, bath and pool towels are all included as are store cupboard essentials. We know this is one of the most important weeks of your year and want to make it as wonderful as possible.
  • The house and gated grounds are private but not remote. St Léon is just 3 kms away with a wide choice of places to dine, from riverside cafés to fine dining at “Le Petit Léon”. Our local boulangerie is less than a 5 min drive, or 30 min walk away.
  • The house has a limited rental period because for the rest of the year it is our home. High quality, modern appliances, original artwork, antiques and curios elevates Maison Montruf to more than a Gite, it’s a home from home for your holiday.

Introducing

Charlotte & Paul Bransbury-Harris

Charlotte and Paul will be there to greet you along with their two flat-coated retrievers, Monty and Rufus. They bought the property in 2018 and moved here permanently from Oxfordshire. They're now happily integrating with locals from the area and can give good advice about where to go and what to do. They're just there if you need them and will leave you a welcome hamper, but will otherwise leave you be.
