The Experience

Sunny days will be spent idling by the wide pool, or pottering around the very beautiful garden to discover a private lake with a mown path around it (and yes, a couple of loungers here too for those who like to sneak off) then a poplar plantation, all green shade and rustling leaves. A large, airy garden room sits to one side of the courtyard with barbecue, drinks cooler and plenty of seating.

Thick walls will keep you cool in summer, the kitchen is big enough for everybody to cook together and you’re left local produce from the village including award-winning bread, local goat’s cheese and a bottle of organic Cahors wine. Walk 10 minutes down to the fabulous bakery for your morning baguette or croissants then amble back to spend a bit more time doing nothing more energetic than picking up a book.

On rainy days you can watch a film, play a board game or relax in the garden room and wait for the sun.

Reviews

Your charming hosts hope you will enjoy the tranquillity of walks around the lake, perhaps some fishing, or lounging by the pool in the delightful enclosed garden. Almost passes the pantoufle test - 'can you walk to the boulangerie in your slippers?'...the lively market village is just a short walk away and you return to peace and a variety of outdoor delights and an elegant house.

Ben, Weybridge

Absolutely wonderful stay in a beautiful part of France. The house is stunning and had a perfect amount of space...might sound weird but having a utility room just helped with storage etc for 2 weeks! Serge and Sam were so helpful with recommendations where needed. The pool is gorgeous and the icing on the cake is that Cazals is a 5 minute walk with the best bread and some great little shops including a butcher/epicerie, antiques shop and lovely little restaurant. Hoping to return!


Gill, London

Really beautiful and comfortable gite, with particularly lovely terrace and pool area. The property was well equipped and the owner, Serge very helpful and friendly. We particularly appreciated the welcome gift of delicious local wine, bread and cheese! It’s a short walk into the village of Cazals for daily supplies - award-winning bakery and great farm shop, no less. We had a brilliant week - highly recommended!


Nadia, Poole

A really lovely gite within easy walking distance of a village with an award winning bakery, a café for morning coffee and an excellent cheese shop. What more could anyone want?


John, Thames Ditton

A delightful gite conveniently situated for visiting the major sights all within an hour's leisurely drive but away from the crowds when rest and relaxation beckon. In beautiful grounds with a lake and swimming pool, the property is well presented and has everything you need for a relaxing holiday. Communication with our charming host Serge was excellent, always on hand to offer advice. The village is within walking distance, has everything you require and holds a market each week. Further afield there is a Super U and petrol station open daily. We would definitely recommend and return.


Location

The neighbourhood

Cazals is a short walk for a restaurant, cafés, lovely shops and a big square lined by traditional houses. On Sundays the market is bustling with local fruit and vegetables, meats and cheeses - it's great for people-watching as well as choosing your supper. There are many medieval towns, castles, more markets, rivers, gorgeous walking trails and vineyards nearby.

Local points of interest from Serge & Sam Rolland

  • Wander in to the village in the morning for your fresh baguette, and croissants from our award winning bakery, or drink a coffee with locals in the sunshine.
  • Located on the edge of the Dordogne we are a short drive away from the fabulous cliff edge castles of the Dordogne, the medieval town of Sarlat.
  • Only a short drive to the breathtaking village of Rocamadour, the natural wonder of the Gouffre de Padirac and the ancient history of the Caves at Pech Merle.
  • If you like food, then this is the area for you. Several Michelin starred restaurants, a number of Michelin recommended restaurants and plenty of fabulous local restaurants all within a short drive.
  • The wines from the Cahors wine region are famed around the world. Visit the vineyards themselves for a round of wine tasting then pop a box or two, into the back of your car to enjoy at the property or back at home.
  • The medieval times have left their mark on the area whether it's in the ancient cobbled streets of hilltop villages, the cliff top castles built by both the English and the French or the gabarres on the river that transported wine across the region.
