La Borie

La Borie faces west, looking away from the other cottages and with a newly-decked terrace designed to take full advantage of the sunset and views – lovely to have a sundowner here. It’s compact indoors, just one open-plan room with a beamed ceiling, terracotta tiles and pale walls and a sleeping area with shower room. No door between the two areas will be fine for intimate souls.

The kitchen is well-equipped for holiday cooking and you’ll find a bottle of the local bio rosé in the fridge along with homemade cake. The local boulangerie delivers fresh croissants each morning. Stroll around the perimeter of the Domaine along mown paths, past two ponds and a field with donkeys – views are over the agricultural landscape and the planted grounds.

The nearest town is Issigeac (five minutes by car) with three restaurants, a boulangerie and medieval architecture along its narrow winding streets.
