The Experience
A fine, three-storey house with parts dating back to the medieval times – find exposed beams, stone walls and large fireplaces. You enter through a side gate into a magical walled courtyard with peaceful gardens, a swimming pool and sun terraces among the pot plants, olive trees and lavender beds. The whole place is beautifully put together, with splendid rooms full of character, colourful art and designer features.
Spill out into a huge kitchen, a gymnasium with a full-sized Swedish sauna, a music room with grand piano and cinema, a summer kitchen conservatory, a pub-inspired games room, a formal drawing room and lots of convivial places to eat, inside and out. Bedrooms, named after London theatres, are spread out over three floors, three with en suite showers and two sharing a bathroom. Hotel-grade bedding and romantic views will revive you.
Stroll to shops, restaurants, the famous Saturday market, or take a picnic to the river bank.

Thank you thank you thank you!! Some of our wedding guests from England and America, stayed for the week at your beautiful Manor House, from the sumptuous high quality bedding to the extensive facilities throughout. Our guests also really enjoyed the location, only 5 minutes walk to the historic square, with a delightful Boulanger and patisserie, pizzeria, bars and shops to browse. Thank you once again for looking after our guests 10/10.

I have had the great pleasure of visiting this wonderful home on a few occasions and highly recommend it to anyone seeking a quiet, luxurious, spacious retreat in the middle of a small yet bustling rural French town. Meals with friends around the beautiful kitchen table or dining alfresco, make delicious memories to take home. Also, it’s a wonderful base from where to explore the Gironde/Dordogne region.

My family and some friends stayed at Tarereau for a long weekend and had a fantastic time. The house itself is absolutely stunning with beautiful interiors and the courtyard is a wonderful place to relax in the day by the pool, or for an evening BBQ. The rooms are huge and perfect for larger groups of people or those who like lots of space. The house is a great base to explore the South of France but also a very short walk to the local cafes and amenities in the heart of Sainte-Foy-la-Grande. Special mention to the very cool ‘pub room’ situated on the ground floor of the house.

Location
The neighbourhood
Sainte-Foy-la-Grande is a bustling little place with lots of restaurants with sunny terraces to amble to, including Coté Bastide, Michelin starred for special treats. Visit the market, enjoy riverside walks, explore prehistoric caves in the Dordogne valley or Saint-Émilion (44km) for superb wine tasting and buying. Bergerac is 25km and Sarlat 95km, both beautiful at any time of year.
Local points of interest from Mike Robertson
- Sainte Foy La Grande is a medieval bastide town that is enveloped on three sides by Pineuilh, its more modern suburb.
- Over the bridge is another of the 'burbs - Port-Sainte-Foy-et-Ponchapt and in both places are supermarkets, restaurants, butchers and bars.
- Tavereau is slap bang in the middle of the bastide and along the two main streets (Rue de la République and Rue Victor Hugo) together with the town square there are local shops, bars, restaurants and banks.
- A five minute drive or a twenty minute walk will take you to the edge of Pineuilh where there is a retail park with a hypermarket and other large outlet stores.
- Two streets from the house is the Dordogne. There is a long promenade to drink in the view or more sensibly there are seating areas where you can drink in the wine.

We stayed at the beautiful Tavereau French home .We could walk into the town enjoyed restaurants and shops.This house was beyond our expectations so tastefully furnished and an amazing large kitchen for socialising. Bedrooms with ensuite we particularly loved the attic bedroom with a four poster and the outside pool. We will definitely be staying again.
