La Petite Truffe is the place for you.

The accommodation consists of an open plan lounge and dining area (seats 6), with stone walls, open beams and wooden floors, with carpets (removable).
The window seat in the dining area looks out on the garden.

GUEST COMMENTS
This is the first gite holiday for us as before now it was always a trailor tent. The hospitality of Audrey & Sydney, the comfort of the beds, the swimming pool, the BBQ, a coffee maker, and no queue for the showers/toilets/washing up..... We are sure we will be back in the future.
Graham, Sheila & family (4girls! 9-16), 27.07.07

A luxurious gite in a wonderful setting.
We loved the layout, especially the garden and pool area. Very child friendly! Great location for day trips around the Dordogne area. We made good use of the leaflets provided.
The toys and games kept the little one entertained and made this feel like a home from home (but with better weather!)
Jane Haynes, Claire Haynes, Anna, Darren and Isabel (4) Moore, 03.08.07

3 children (9 weeks/2yrs/4yrs), 4 adultes (one expecting) and a dog....and still space for friends to come and visit!
Absolutely perfect.
