La Roque-Gageac Holiday Farmhouse Rental with Pool, Dordogne, France Reviews

We stayed for a two glorious weeks with three generations of family who all enjoyed the house, pool and local area. There were seven of us so there was plenty of room. In fact there were two more beds than we were expecting. We enjoyed walking into the village for bread and to eat at the local restaurants - and then being able to retreat back to the calm of La Croze. (We would recommend La Belle Etoile to foodies - pricy but worth it.) We particularly appreciated the huge fridge in the kitchen and the additional drinks fridge in the utility room. The barbecue was also a welcome addition. It was lovely to sit out after a meal in the evening under the stars. We managed to pack in canoeing (would recommend being dropped off up river to allow you to canoe back at your own pace and not have to wait for a pick-up), a visit to the chateau at Castelnaud, also a walk across the fields to Castelnaud and lunch at the slighlty eccentric but delicious tapas restaurant, La Tournepique, a trip down the river on a Gabarre (interesting English audio guide available), a visit to the Jardins de Marqueyssac (fantastic views over the river) and a trip to Domme on market day. Otherwise we were happy to laze around the house, eating, drinking, reading, swimming and using the very reliable wifi. David and Erika were very welcoming and helpful before and during our stay. All in all, a great holiday in a lovely villa in a stunning part of France.
