Vacation Rental Description
Chauffour gites are beautiful self catering holiday cottages located in the Dordogne countryside in south west France.
We have four gites that can be rented individually or together for large groups. La Ferme is our large 5 bedroom farmhouse, the delightful 3 bedroom La Grange, our 2 bedroom gite, La Porcherie and the 4 bedroom La Petite Maison.
All of our gites are set in large, mature gardens complete with swimming pool.
Chauffour gites are in a peaceful hamlet and surrounded by sunflower fields and vineyards. Just a few minutes away are the villages of Allemans and St. Severin where you can find bakeries, banks, post office and a supermarket. The bustling market town of Riberac, famed for its huge Friday market, is just 10 minutes away.
We're 1 hour from Angouleme and Bergerac, 1.5 hours from Bordeaux, 2 hours from Limoges. The new airport at Brive, due to open shortly, is also within easy reach. Ryanair, Easyjet and Flybe all offer low cost flights from the UK, and Air France and Aer Lingus offer flights from Dublin, Ireland into Bordeaux. The ferry ports of St. Malo and Caen are all within a comfortable days drive making Chauffour ideally placed for your holiday in the Dordogne.
As well as our self catering cottages, we also offer Bed and Breakfast and long term letting out of season; contact us for more information.
We live discreetly on-site with our young family and are happy to offer as much or as little assistance as you need. With two children of our own, we fully understand family life and accommodation at Chauffour has been designed with children in mind.
To make your vacation as relaxing as possible, we also offer a Dinner on Arrival and speciality Pizza and Dining Club events. Relaxation, Massage and Reflexology is also available in the comfort of your gite.
