Perfect location, very pretty scenery all the way around the gite. The gite itself was very private and quiet with plenty of outside seating areas to relax and enjoy the views. Inside was very clean and comfortable, and the building itself very quaint with lovely old fashioned beams and eye catching details.

We found the gite was the perfect getaway from everything for us.

Had plenty of pans etc if you wanted to cook, a good range of crockery, cutlery, cups, and drinking glasses.

The bed was fantastically comfortable, and even in the heatwave of up to 39 degree days we had in the second week, the bedroom remained nice and cool. Great bathroom with huge shower, plenty of hot water at all times.

Pool, was a nice size and great for cooling off in especially when the temperatures soared.

About 3 k from the pretty little village of Tocane St Apre.

We had some really lovely day trips out, went to various markets and pottered about in the beautiful countryside.

Shopping for food etc was easy as there is a big intermarche just out of Tocane and a market on Mondays.

It was made very easy to pick day trips out with lots of information left at the gite. We had access to the internet as well so all in all it was perfect for us.

Karen was very helpful all the way along through our booking, and arrival. She gave us all the information we needed so it was a very easy and stress free experience.

We really enjoyed our stay of just over 2 weeks and would love to come to stay again!

Paradise in Tocane.

Our stay was lovely and more than we had hoped for. We would certainly

recommend this property to friends or relatives. We only left the property to go shopping in the village!

My partner and I had a great holiday. We loved the location overlooking fields of sunflowers and 5 minutes drive or 15 minutes cycle ride to the village with its weekly market and boulangerie etc. We spent most days cycling down peaceful country lanes and roads to villages and towns where we'd have lunch, and then on arriving back at the house, diving into the pool and later, dinner on the terrace under the stars. This really is a complete 'get away from everything' location. Internet excepted though, we valued the wifi to help map out cycle routes and read up on the various interesting places we visited. The bathroom has a great shower, the kitchen - living area is small but well equipped and compact and cosy. The bed is big and comfortable. The property was clean and well-kept, and the owner and local manager could not have been more helpful. We definitely would recommend the house.

Boulangerie de Providence

A lovely, small, peaceful and comfortable holiday give. Very clean and pleasant with a beautiful swimming pool area. One of the most relaxed holidays we ever had.

A peaceful paradise!

My partner and I stayed here for a week at the end of July and couldn't have asked for a more peaceful and relaxing holiday. Although we'd both wanted to visit this part of France for some time it was our first trip to the Dordogne and we both hope very much that it won't be our last.

The gite was exactly as described on the website and more than lived up to our expectations. It was just the sort of rural retreat we were hoping for, clean, tidy and just perfect for the two of us. The location, surrounded by fields of wheat and spectacular sunflowers was idyllic, quiet and secluded without being too remote. We spent most of the time sat by the fabulous pool reading and drinking the odd glass of wine! And in the evening we lit the barbie and ate out under the stars!

When we did venture out, a visit to the beautiful town of Brantome was probably the highlight. That said, Sunday lunch in the courtyard of the auberge in nearby Montagrier was fabulous, as was dinner at the Le Moulin du Pont restaurant in Lisle, they even have their own trout farm. And whatever you do, stop off at Rouge, a great little bistro/hotel in the centre of Tocane St Apres. It's only five minutes away by car and the food was superb.

It's fair to say we thought it was one of the best holidays we'd ever had and frankly, we can't wait to go back!

Rural Paradise!

We were really happy with this little cottage, it was a perfect size for two people and even accomodated an extra visiting adult for a few nights in relative comfort.

It really is a place in the sunflowers, they grow in the fields all around the property and give such a beautiful and relaxing view from the swimming pool. The weather had been cool before we visited so the pool was cool but it warmed up whilst we were there and we swam every day and ate our meals outside. The pool is a good size and clean and well maintained.

The cottage is full of character, with rough walls but it is stylish, fully modernised and very comfortable. The bed was huge and the darkness total which is always a recipe for a god night's sleep! Unlike many holiday properties the plumbing worked faultlessly and the shower was powerful and hot. The little kitchen was great, we cooked most evenings and it had all the utensils and pans we needed. There is no dishwasher or washing machine but we really didn't notice their absence. Everything was clean and well maintained.

English television was also a good feature although we didn't watch much - there is a DVD player and some films to watch if all the relaxing becomes too much.

The village is about half an hour's walk away and is utterly charming - a little market on Mondays, two bars and a restaurant (the bars also do food). We found the restaurant a bit quirky as it was run by a New Zealander and the menu was a bit international but the bars were traditionally French and very good value.

A well stocked supermarket is a further 10 minute walk from the centre of the village.

We saw deer in the fields around the cottage, there was plenty of birdlife and the insects were not intrusive!

We really enjoyed our time at the cottage and would recommend it to anyone seeking an 'away from it all' holiday. We can;t wait to return!

A place in the sunflowers


We had a lovely stay here. It's a really beautiful and romantic spot, the gite has been beautifully renovated and had everything we needed. CHeck out the boulangerie in the village for fantastic pain aux raisons (but get there early, they sell out quickly!). There’s some lovely restaurants nearby too, all in all a pretty perfect holiday.

Boulangerie the Providence

We enjoyed two weeks of our holiday in Boulangerie the Providence. La Borie is a very small hamlet on a hill. The view is beautiful. Here you can enjoy the silence.

The house is neat and contains everything you need. The decor of the house is tasteful. We enjoyed every day of the main pool.

Muriël, yhe neighbor, hands over the key, she is very nice and helpfull.

Walk to Tocane takes half an hour, bij car 5 minutes. There is a bakery, butcher and supermarket. In Riberac there is a hypermarché (Leclerc).

Restaurant Rouge in Tocane is great.

Aubeterre is a beautiful village in the area. Friday market in Riberac is large.

Perigieux is fun to visit, Bergerac is a beautiful place.

From Roque Gageac, a 2 hour drive, you can create a beautiful canoe trip on the Dordogne.

The area is not as busy as the eastern side of the Dordogne.

Boulangerie de Providence is a very good place to anyone who loves peace.

The gite had a rather musty smell inside which we found unpleasant. When you opened the cupboards/drawers to take out utensils again the smell was not good. Very dusty and spiders behind bedside tables We also felt the cushions that went on the sunloungers weren't too clean. Overall very disappointed and consequently left two days early.
