Beautiful House with Amazing views of The Dordogne and La Roque Gageac - Le Mirador

The Dordogne, Le Mirador

The Dordogne is simply a glorious place to be - a paradise of beautiful tree-clad landscapes studded with medieval castles, ancient churches, bastide towns, and amazing caves. Pretty Perigordine houses abound, with their steep roofs and pigonniers. La Malartrie is on the edge of the famous village of La Roque Gageac - one of the most photographed places in France and designated by the French Government as one of the prettiest villages in France. From the house's position perched above the river, there are breathtaking views of the village clinging to the cliffs and across the valley to the bastide town of Domme. If you're visiting the Dordogne it doesn't get any better than this stunning stretch of the river between Domme and Beynac. No fewer than five castles - four of which are open to the public - are within a mile or two of the house. Castelnaud (1mile) has a fascinating museum of medieval warfare and Marqueyssac has beautiful topiary gardens to visit. Chateau de Milandes was famous as Josephine Bakers residence in the 1930s. The medieval bastide town of Domme which is well worth a visit lies about 4 miles away. Here among the cobbled streets are lots of charming shops and restaurants. The Dordogne is also a place of walnut groves and potagers where local people harness the rich soil and warm climate to grow things for the wonderful local markets. 

La Mirador is a really superb location for a holiday in the Dordogne. It comprises 2 Bedrooms, Sleeps 4, 2 Bathrooms. The property is an exquisite balance of rustic charm and practicality. Two outdoor areas for dining / relaxing; the BBQ and well-equipped kitchen are suitable for creative cooking and entertaining. 

Within strolling distance of La Roque Gageac - designated 'one of the prettiest villages in France', it is set in the heart of the most celebrated part of South West France. No fewer than five castles are within a mile or two of the house and the famous medieval town of Sarlat is only 5 miles away. With the beautiful bastide town of Domme three miles away, Castlenaud just over one and Beynac around two, you won't find a more central location to enjoy the best of the Dordogne's 'golden triangle'. In the village itself, you'll find a boulangerie, gift and wine shops and several lovely restaurants and cafes to enjoy what the French do best! With the river only a short stroll away there is no shortage of places to swim. Canoeing is available a few hundred yards away as are boat trips. Bike hire can easily be arranged.

Le Mirador is a lovely traditional stone house perched above the Dordogne on the edge of La Roque Gageac.
