La Castille Villa, Castillonnès
5 bedroom Villa in Dordogne. Sleeps 8
Enjoy French country living at La Castille, a beautifully restored 18th Century stone bastide which offers charm and style in abundance, in an area renowned for delicious food and wine. La Castille is the sister property to La Perigourdine and La Petite Maison.
An elegant balance of soft linens and rustic pieces carefully sourced from local 'brocantes', with a colour palette inspired by nature, the interior of La Castille could easily grace the pages of any French country chic magazine. Yet rest assured, the focus is on relaxed holiday living. The gorgeous kitchen/diner, flooded with light, is well-equipped, ensuring that self-catering becomes a delight, not a chore. The living room, with its plump sofas and calming colours, is an open invitation to relax.
From the kitchen, double doors open to the garden, which boasts dedicated areas for dining al fresco. The fenced pool sits to one side, complete with a decked area for sun loungers, and is surrounded by an open garden leading onto fields and woodland.
Beyond these natural boundaries lies the road to Bergerac (23km) and Castillonnes (3km). Castillonnes can also be reached by way of a country footpath (2.6km), which brings you into the heart of the town and its selection of restaurants and shops.
The area surrounding La Castille is perfect for languid sightseeing—an idyllic landscape between the Rivers Dordogne and Lot, where vineyards and charming bastide villages abound. Spend the morning exploring Issigeac (10km), Eymet (18km), or Beaumont-du-Perigord (25km), and the afternoon discovering the wines of the region (Monbazillac, Pecharmant, Saussignac, to name a few). For those with a sudden burst of energy, head to the lake at Lougratte (15km) for activities such as swimming, canoeing, pedalos, and beach volleyball.
