Le Mas

When I first saw the video of Le Mas et Le Mazet online it evoked such an emotional reaction in me that I cried. It looked enchanting, beautiful and peaceful and I just had to book. We stayed for a week in October and I am so grateful we did. Everything about the house, location and holiday was just wonderful, we couldn’t have asked for more. Rupert and Franck are on hand for questions/ directions/ recommendations- anything you need really- which puts you completely at ease knowing you are taken care of. Don’t hesitate to book, you won’t regret it Xx

We took our whole family to the Le Mas and Mazet and had a throughly excellent time from start to finish. The facilities available are second to none and Rupert and Frank went out of their way to ensure our family time together was extra special. Their recommended private chef Didier is also worth considering if you want an extra special evening as we did on one occasion - the food was amazing. Lots of lovely local places to visit to keep all ages entertained.

We have just returned from the most wonderful week at Le Mas and Le Mazet. It's not that we were trying to but we could not find one single fault. Rupert and Franck have clearly thought of everything - the beds are exceptionally comfortable, their restoration is remarkable, every angle and viewpoint is carefully considered and the views and pool are epic (I could go on and on). If you are looking for a relaxing haven amongst fascinating, beautiful countryside and with impeccable hosts then look no further.

We are an American family of four (boys ages 10 and 12) and we had an absolute dream two weeks at Le Mas. We both took time to enjoy the house and the pool and grounds but also ventured out for tours of gardens and castles as well as did a lot of biking and a day of canoeing. Rupert and Franck have created the most beautiful and most hospitable experience. And the region is non stop interesting. We would definitely return and I knew it from the minute that we stepped out of the car and took in the view of Le Mas and countryside beyond.

Absolutely gorgeous home and gardens, great for families. Rupert & Frank are lovely and very welcoming. Highly recommend for a stay in the Perigord area.

Once again a wonderful spring week in the beautiful Dordogne hills! Le Mas was great for the six of us - kids and grandkids upstairs at one end of the house, the two of us at the other end, with the dining room / kitchen and living room on the ground floor as our common play grounds. We swam in the pool every day except the rainy one; we had lunches out in the neighboring villages, shopped the local markets, and cooked supper at the house. Walked the fields and woods, canoed 12 km on the Dordogne, spotted a black stork, heard cuckoos (both exotic for Americans) and totally relaxed.

Le Mas is a slice of paradise. Hosting is fantastic - nothing is too much trouble, both before and during your stay, and there is a wealth of unexpected special touches provided. The property is exceptional - luxurious and peaceful, with stunning gardens and views. We had a wonderfully memorable fortnight as a group of friends, with teenage daughters. Days in the pool or exploring the countryside; evenings in the summer kitchen, watching the sunsets. We cannot recommend Le Mas enough. Perfection!

We have just returned from our wonderful family holiday at Le Mas et Le Mazet. We loved every minute. It is a magical place with stunning scenery, peaceful atmosphere and is incredibly well equipped for a superb holiday. The quality and attention to detail is phenomenal. Rupert and Franck are extremely kind and helpful. The property is finished to a very high standard with comfortable beds with beautiful bed linen, luxury White Company products in all bathrooms. We enjoyed the heated pool and had lots of family fun and games. We look forward to returning in the future.

This year we made our 7th trip to Le Mas & Le Mazet. The location is incredible. The view from Le Mas is also entrancing and bucolic; haybales, sunsets and chateaus all from the stunning outdoor kitchen. The property itself still really stands out, even all these years on, maintained inside and out with phenomenal attention to detail. During your stay the owners Rupert & Franck are on hand if you need them but practically invisible if not. Each visit it feels more and more like home from home. We countdown to our next visit from the moment we leave!

Rupert & Franck have created holiday heaven! Their property is on site but they manage the balance of being available (they are a mine of local info!) & allowing privacy for total relaxation. We loved visiting Millie to pick organic veg (some of which was included in our welcome goodies) and we enjoyed long lunches & dinners outside everyday. The local area is beautiful with lots to do but you will want to get back to this special place as soon as you can to squeeze every drop out of your time there! We very much hope to return…..

Having stayed for the first time in 2022, we had no hesitation in booking again for 2023. Franck and Rupert are excellent hosts, and nothing is too much trouble. A wonderful week was spent lying by the pool during the day followed by eating and drinking in the outdoor kitchen in the evenings. The kids loved the pool and all the games, whilst the adults appreciated the variety of places to find some much needed peace and quiet. Both properties have everything you could possibly need to make it a true home-from-home. I have no doubt we will be back again, as long as we can find some availability

Had the most fabulous holiday at Le Mas. Beautiful, comfortable and spacious accommodation, and the most accommodating hosts who are always happy to help with recommendations and arrangements. Highly recommended.

We have been here in May it was fantastic! Super nice and richly equipped house. There was a welcome package with local wines and homemade jams and Gin! How fun! The house has been beautifully renovated. We lived like gods in France for two weeks!

We love staying at Le Mas - it's great for families, with the beautifully-kept surroundings, house, and pool. The owners are terrific, very responsive to any queries ,and always ready with suggestions of where to go and what to do. We look forward to our time there each year!

Le Mas is a gem. The house was somehow more beautiful than the pictures. The owners have thought of everything and were gracious and accommodating. We were a group of artists and found tremendous inspiration in the grounds and local sites. 10s across the board! Would definitely like to return in the future.

We had the most glorious week at Le Mas. The house is gorgeous in a most amazing location. The kitchen was so well equipped it was a pleasure to prepare and enjoy all the delicious food from surrounding markets. Rupert and Franck are generous and kind hosts. Highly recommend for a family or group of friends who want to really relax and enjoy the simple pleasures of the French countryside.

Where to begin? Everything was exceptional. Rupert and Franck have created an amazing property - warm and inviting, spotlessly clean, comfy beds and stocked with everything you need. Beautifully designed from the kitchen, to the bedrooms, and the lovely living area. As hosts, they provided a welcome basket, recommendations for restaurants and sights, and excellent communication. We spent 7 unforgettable days enjoying the view and pool, cooking and eating in the outdoor kitchen, going to markets, taking long leisurely walks and visiting nearby villages and restaurants.

From the moment of our very friendly welcome to our warm departure this holiday was wonderful. Set in a gorgeous area of the Dordogne Le Mas and Le Mazet delivered beyond expectation for all 12 of us! The accommodation is stunning, the setting and gardens glorious and the attention to detail by our lovely hosts is remarkable. We have stayed in gites in France for decades but this surpasses anything else and how! I know that this is a bunch of superlatives but it’s true! Little details…like a heated salt water pool, a lovely pétanque barn, a massive collection of books and games. We'll be back!

Amazing place, fantastic views and pool and the attention to detail was the best we have ever had in France. Can't wait to return!

We returned in June 2022 and couldn't believe it seemed even better than our previous visits. The beautiful house is full of character and has everything you could wish for. The large outside eating area is perfectly equipped for all day dining and the pool is sublime. The friendly, yet discreet, hosts truly are the best and ensure you are totally spoilt. All this, set amongst stunning scenery, means we'll definitely be coming back soon.
