We found this house a few years ago, and fell in love with it and the gorgeous setting. It needed a lot of loving care, but we are very proud that we created a charming town house with 2 bedrooms and 2 shower rooms with toilet over two floors. Newly renovated to a very high standard, so you get all the comforts you need in a modern holiday home, but with some original features still in place. Cute front garden with raised porch to watch the world go by and a big private back garden with covered terrace. Fully equipped kitchen and washing machine. The upstairs bathroom has a big walk-in shower. Central heating and hot water generated by a new heatpump.

We are a Dutch-born couple who live 20 minute away from this property. We developed this private house in a lovely village setting because we wanted to offer our guests an alternative to the rural property we run as a shared holiday-let and B&B (La Rame in Chalais 24800, see our other Booking listing). We love our dogs, cat, motorbikes and living in this stunning and friendly region of France. We have many years of experience in high-end hospitality and we are confident we can offer you a great stay.

The house is situated in the centre of a beautiful old village which is dominated by the magnificent fairytale castle of Jumilhac with at its feet the river l'Isle. You even have a view of the castle from the private back garden. Shops, bakery, hairdressers, 2 restaurants, post office, tourist office, ATM machine, 2 restaurants and a tea room all within easy walking distance in the village. At 15 minutes drive you'll find 2 thriving market towns, Thiviers and Saint-Yrieix-le Perche. The town of Jumilhac is in the national parc Périgord-Limousin, on the route du richard coeur de lion (Richard Lionheart). There is stunning scenery, walks and lakes all around. In the house you will find a little gift from the local tourist office, with lots of local guides and flyers. The tourist office in the village also has lots of inormation about local walks and trails. On hot days you can splash about in the river at the foot of the castle, go to one of the swimming lakes nearby, or use the public swimming pool in the village. Perfectly located for day trips out into the Dordogne or Haute-Vienne regions, where you can visit towns such a Sarlat-la-Canéda, Rocamadour, Montignac-Lascaux, Domme and Limoges, and many more historic towns, rivers and castles.
