Lidoire, Perigord Vert Rental with Pool in La Rochebeaucourt et Argentine, Dordogne, France Reviews

Fantastic Family Home in a Beautiful Location

The property and site were accurately described. The Gite was clean and well cared for, I could find no fault in it.

The owners Nicky and Richard, who live on site were both friendly and very knowledgeable about the area, they 'literally' have an open door policy when you want to talk to them. Nicky had clearly spent some time in creating her 'Trip advisor' beating local guide for restaurants and sites.

I would unquestionably recommend this property to anyone, I have every intention of going back, but next time dragging my friends along to.

I would really recommend visiting the towns of Bourdeilles, Brantome and Perigueux. For food Le Lavalette restaurant in the near by town. Further a field La Rochefoucauld Chateaux and the primates park La Signe.

A perfect holiday, A fantastic location

What a fabulous setup Nicky and Richard have at Les Riviers,You could not want for more, We really loved our time there and was sad to leave.In amongst the sightseeing and chilling i managed a bit of fishing at the lake that belongs to the property, Once Richard told us which end to fish i managed to catch 18 carp in a morning. This will most definately be a place we will holiday again. The pictures do not do it Justice it is fantastic.Best regards Chris and Carol

Highly Recommended for Children. Great Place.

We all, and particularly the children, had a great week at our Gite in the tiny hamlet of Nadaillac near the village of La Rochebeaucourt et Argentine. Our Gite, one of four on the property, was well furnished and clean with it’s own BBQ and patio furniture. During our week we canoed down the picturesque River Dronne to the village of Aubeterre, the children swam in the river: we went for a long bike ride (bikes provided) along beautiful country lanes, enjoyed a day at a lake with a lovely sandy beach; had a wonderful pizza evening cooking our own 'home made' pizzas in the owner’s wood fired oven and eating them with all the other guests on long trestle tables laid out on the ‘football pitch’, A great evening.

Fantastic facilities in beautiful location

My family and friends rented two gites in this "complex" of 4 gites which are in converted farm buildings. The Gites are clean, well maintained and are equipped with everything you'd need. The photos on the website do not capture how lovely the gites are. The grounds had plenty of facilities to please adults and children, infact many of our group did not leave the site for the entire week other than to buy supplies in the nearby town. The woods and fields behind the gites are beautiful and we saw wild deer a couple of times on walks there. If you do prefer to explore the local surrounds there are some very pretty towns in the area with plenty of activities such as canoeing available. We saw deer in the woods behind the gitesNicky and Richard were great, friendly and helpful hosts. We all liked it so much we have already booked all 4 gites next summer.

Les Rivieres: fabuluous break and hosts

Where to start?! As soon as we arrived and were greeted by Nicky (and a short time later by Richard) we knew that we'd made the right decision.

Nicky and Richard have developed a fantastic setup at Les Rivieres that provides very comfortable and well equipped accommodation in a peaceful and relaxing location, and excellent facilities (including the great and enclosed pool, games barn,badminton area, bikes....). All in all, it offers really good value for money and has much to offer for all ages.

Wonderfully relaxing holidays at Les Rivieres

We cannot begin to praise Nicky & Rich enough for making Les Rivieres such a wonderful place to spend the summer holidays. This is the second time we have stayed here, and have already booked for a third time, which pays testiment to what a fantastic time we have here. We can honestly say that we have previously never spent more than one year holidaying in the same location, but Les Rivieres is so special it makes you want to keep coming back.

Nicky & Rich are very friendly, welcoming hosts, who go out of their way to ensure guests are happy. They have an excellent knowlegde of the local area and places to visit, and will happily make reservations/bookings on your behalf. They are always on hand if required, yet still allow you the space to relax and enjoy your holiday.

beautiful retreat.

The area in which Les Rivieres is situated is unspoilt countryside with quiet roads to cycle on and little villages to visit. Our gite Le Martrieux was comfortably furnished and had plenty of room for 6 of us. The extra bedroom option downstairs was extremely useful. The bedrooms were all spacious and beds very comfortable. The gite had it's own garden which was well-tended and private. The cherry trees dripping with dark red fruit were a real bonus. The pool has a lovely open feel and is extremely clean plus it was big enough for a proper swim. There are lots of historical sites in the area which can be visited without driving too far. Angouleme has a great new museum. The canoeing from Brantome is highly recommended and very good value.

Peace and Quiet in the Dordogne and affordable too

Whilst the gite we stayed in is not amongst the pictures above and was a little older in style, it was very spacious, warm and comfortable, whether it was cold or warm outside.

Our hosts were considerate and friendly but not in the least intrusive. They offered us fresh eggs and even advice on some of the local estate agencies as well as the loan of a laptop so we could check them out and view properties online before visiting in person.

A great place to unwind & relax.

A great place to unwind relax and to spend some quality time with the family.

The location of Les Rivieres is in a great idyllic area which will get you away from the everyday hustle and bustle.

The properties at Les Rivieres are excellent and well equipped, clean and are continually being improved. The facilities are fantastic with everything provided for a stress free holiday, from towels and bed lining, to bats and balls for the children, Nicky and Richard have thought about everything for all ages. The pool is an ideal size, very clean and situated overlooking the beautiful surrounding countryside.

This is the reason we have returned to stay with Nicky & Richard for the last three years.

Each year we have visited, we have experienced something new and exciting from the bread / pizza oven being restored and the new games room and gym.
