Beautiful Perigourdine Gite in Tremolat, Dordogne, France Reviews

Charming Cottage in Perfect Location


We were the first American couple to rent this lovely place. We wondered if we should keep this gem to ourselves, but it's only fair to tell the rest of the USA (and the world) that this cottage in Tremolat is impossible to beat.

We were pleasantly surprised at the care and detail of the decor. Both outside and inside, attention to detail created a cozy, "at home" feeling.

The owners greeted us warmly and the two times we visited with them, we felt almost like part of the family! The set up is perfect- we had total privacy (would have never even known they are there), but we could go up the steps to their home to ask questions or visit. They always welcomed us inside and gave great tips about sight-seeing and restaurants. One of the most pleasant aspects of our week in France was meeting such lovely people.

Tremolat itself is a quiet, beautiful village and a perfect home base to return to each night after visiting the surrounding areas. We went all over the region! Wineries in Bergerac, amazing view in Domme, Chateau de Beynac, canoeing the river between Cenac and Beynac, Font de Gaume caves, shopping in Sarlat, the gardens of Marqueyssac, Abbey at Cadouin, and much more! There is plenty to see and do, but this is also a great place for relaxing and resting if desired.

And the food, my heavens the food! We ate like kings at every meal. Tremolat itself has a Michelin starred restaurant Le Vieux Logis that is a gourmand's dream come true. Also in Tremolat is Les Truffieries- one of our best meals. Nearby in Limeuil, try Garden Party.

This was our dream vacation and everything fulfilled our expectations perfectly. We are so pleased with this house rental, the town of Tremolat, and the entire Dordogne region.
