Maison La Seguinie Villa, Martel

4 bedroom Villa in Dordogne. Sleeps 10

featured in Villas

A recently built house owned by an architect and an interior designer who have created a beautifully finished property that evokes the local style yet is thoroughly modern, exuding flair and taste.

On the main floor, a double-height ceiling creates a striking impression and enhances the airy, spacious feel of this open-plan home.

Within the layout, three distinct zones define the space: to one end, a modern, sleek kitchen fully equipped for a self-catering holiday; the dining area, offering views over the pool; and at the far end, plump sofas in soothing blues and creams are gathered around the wood-burning stove, perfect for cosy evenings.

The rear of the property is attractively landscaped with local stone, featuring shrubs and flowers that bring vibrant colour. The garden is dominated by the pool, ideally positioned to capture the sun throughout the day. Poolside furniture in matching blue echoes the interior colour scheme, showing the owner’s thoughtful attention to detail. Mature trees provide shady spots for relaxation or a game of table tennis, and alfresco dining is catered for with a terrace on the main floor.

Just 1.5km away, Martel hums with local life. Wander the narrow streets, past charming shops and restaurants, to reach the 'Place de la Halle', where the magnificent medieval wood-framed market hall stands proudly at the town’s heart, still in use today. It’s the focal point for many summer events. The town also boasts several excellent eateries, from a wine bar offering a contemporary twist on local produce to two Michelin Guide-listed restaurants.

Beyond Martel, the surrounding countryside is dotted with beautiful villages and attractions. Don’t miss a ride on the local steam train, a canoe trip on the River Dordogne (5km), or a visit to the iconic site of Rocamadour (21km). Be sure to explore the nearby towns of Souillac, Sarlat-la-Caneda, Carennac, and St-Cere—each offering its own charm and beauty.
