Maison de la Grotte is a peaceful gite in the heart of Perigord Noir. We are located in the 'golden triangle' of the Dordogne, just 40 minutes from the beautiful medieval towns of Sarlat, Perigueux and Bergerac.

The gite is on a plot of 3 acres, and has a completely private garden (featuring its own cave!) with direct access to a stunning heated pool of which you have sole use. We live in a house on the property, and we respect your privacy but are on-call if you need any assistance.

The space
The gite is a completely renovated beautiful 200 year old property which has just been awarded a 4 star rating by the Comité Départemental du Tourisme de la Dordogne. Featuring a large living area and brand new fitted kitchen/dining room (with downstairs toilet), the accommodation also boasts two double bedrooms, both with en-suite shower rooms. The master beamed bedroom has a queen (160cm) bed and the second bedroom has two single beds. Outside, there is a large, completely private garden with three patios, one under the cover of a large awning. There is direct access to the 11x5m salt water heated swimming pool. We provide all bed linen, towels and pool towels. There is free wifi throughout the entire property.

Guest access
Access is via a front gate from the road with plenty of parking (at least 4 cars) at the bottom of our orchard. Access to the gite is via a wide lit pathway along the side of our main house. Whilst our hamlet does not have any shops, the town of Le Bugue (10km away) boasts several excellent supermarkets, local food shops and bars. The immediate neighbourhood has stunning scenery, perfect for walks and bicycle rides.

Other things to note
The gardens and pool are completely private and not overlooked, our house is on the property opposite the courtyard. The gite does have quite a few steps so is not suitable for anyone with limited mobility. This is a lovely old property and the ceiling height in the kitchen is 194cm.

We welcome dogs but if you are bringing a pet please do discuss with us first. We also have a dog and two cats.

Also, we must mention that the gardens are not completely secure as there is a gate to the front of the property, an entrance to our field and rocks that an agile dog can easily scramble up.

Please don’t let that put you off as we have had many family pets here and have never had an issue.

Sadly, we cannot allow dogs in the pool as claws can easily tear the pool liner. Which would not be good!!

Finally, the pool is heated from May until the end of September when necessary. To heat the pool any other times, please enquire for prices.

My work: Marketing guy and voice over artist
Speaks English and French
I live here in Mauzens-et-Miremont with Alison and a cat called Jimbo and have been here for the last two years. I have family already living here which partly prompted my decision to be here. I work as a voiceover artist and have a tiny studio here on the premises.
