The Experience

Swoop down country lanes lined with nodding sunflowers to this tranquil stone house hugged by rural peace. Once a manoir for the nobility, today it is a characterful and much-loved family home filled with cosy spaces, a grand fire-warmed living room, bedrooms with views and small yet spotless bathrooms.

Cleverly fusing new and old, traditional stone walls and beams add charm while the modern kitchen has all the kit and caboodle for cooking and eating together – or you’ll barbecue and dine outside in the undercover courtyard lit up with solar lights and twinkling candles. The set-up is fantastic for families with big relaxed gardens, a swimming pool, outdoor table tennis and football plus books and games for wet weather days.

Pop to your closest town, Ribérac (8km), for restaurants, shopping and an excellent Friday market. It’s perfect for a potter around with two churches and a municipal lido.

Reviews

Le Figuier is a charming property which oozes historical details whilst being sympathetically restored by the current owners to become a comfortable home for the 21st-century family. There is room to play together and relax apart whilst being immersed in the stunning French country landscape. There is easy access to beautiful towns which offer great shopping, historical buildings, canoeing, wild water swimming and delicious restaurants. Altogether it offers the perfect French country holiday.

Manoir Le Figuier is an absolutely beautiful property in such a peaceful setting. It has everything you need for a relaxing holiday. The attention to detail was next to none. We particularly enjoyed making pizzas in the outside kitchen. We would love to stay again!


Matthew, London

We had a wonderful stay at Manoir Le Figuier. It's an amazing property in a peaceful location. Great place to hang out and chill, but also a good base from which to explore the Dordogne. The pool is lovely, the kids enjoyed the table tennis and there are several different places to gather for mealtimes. It is very homely - and has a fabulous history! Sally-Anne was incredibly helpful and responsive, ahead of and during our stay. Lovely neighbours too!


Gareth, London

This was our second time at Manoir le Figuier and, as usual, it didn’t disappoint. A home beautifully decorated and comfortable without losing any of its historical charm. It is always wonderfully presented upon arrival and incredibly well equipped, especially the kitchen. We enjoyed many a delicious dinner on the terrace or under the abri watching the sunset over the wildflower meadow and I will be dreaming of sipping Bergerac wine by the pool all year. We will certainly be booking again. Gareth.


Richard, London

Manoir Le Figuier is a charming house full of character set in a very beautiful part of the Dordogne. It is tastefully decorated and has all you need. Great selection of terraces for different times of the day. And a lovely large downstairs sitting room which stays wonderfully cool in the hot spells. The kitchen is well stocked and the beds are comfy. We enjoyed several meals out in Riberac and went kayaking on the local river. We also went wine tasting and would definitely recommend it for a holiday with family and friends.


Location

The neighbourhood

You're surrounded by pretty towns including riverside Saint-Astier (18km), Les Plus Beaux Villages Aubeterre-sur-Dronne (25km) and Brantôme (35km) which has a gorgeous cathedral and river tours. Nature lovers, walkers and cyclists will all be in heaven while vineyards for tours and tastings abound.

Local points of interest from Sally-Anne Holland

  • Ribérac has a wonderful Friday market, selling local produce, fresh flowers, plants, fish, pottery, clothes and much more. You can relax after your shop in one of several local cafes and watch the world go by. If river swimming is your thing, there are plenty of opportunities to swim.
  • Brantome, a beautiful medieval town surrounded by water, known as the “Venice of the Perigord”, is just 40 minutes’ drive. With its imposing Benedictine Abbey, founded by Charlemagne in the 8th Century, wonderful artisan shops and market selling local produce on Friday, it is well worth a visit.
  • Bordeilles 25 minutes away, is a charming village with panoramic views overlooking the river Dronne. Visitors can visit the Chateau which is two castles. The fortress built in the 13th and 14th centuries and the 16th century Chateau. There are several restaurants and a Sunday market.
  • Verteillac (25 minutes drive) is a picturesque village with lively bars, shops and a Saturday market. It is probably most famous for its Brocante market which takes place on the first Sunday of every month.
  • Aubeterre sur Dronne, the only village classified amongst the Most Beautiful Villages of France in Charente, is just 20 minutes away. The village is home to local artists and crafts people and has some lovely restaurants and interesting shops.
  • Lac Jamaye (20 minutes drive) is a very large lake in a nature reserve with beach and play area, along with several restaurants/cafes and picnic area. Lovely walks and bike rides around the lake.
