The farmhouse is set in seven acres of peaceful countryside with walks from your front door and as hosts we will be inconspicuous (our house is 150 metres away) or we can organise wine tasting trips etc. we will leave it to you. In the Winter months we are happy to organise cooking/wine tasting and house hunting weekends and will happily put you in touch with local Estate Agents.The Farmhouse was originally a typical local farm with a mix of animals and agricultural.

Lascaux 2 offers a chance to see some of the best early cave paintings whilst Beynac et Cazenac, Sarlat, Domme and Castelnaud have huge medieval connections and are very picturesque.
