Vacation Rental Description
Recently renovated to an incredibly high standard both inside and out, Belair is an ideal holiday rental. The house sits upon the crest of a hill and has 360 degree views over the French countryside. Set in stunning gardens which include a lake, a Japanese garden and an Italian garden, the pool is heated and has a rigid automatic cover for security and safety.

Surrounded entirely by beautiful countryside, it is a haven for wildlife - wild boar, deer, hares, birds of prey etc - and its terraces and verandas offer the perfect spot from which to view these delights.
Although its situation is tranquil and private, it offers easy access to the many delights the Dordogne has to offer. There are activities to suit all ages and interests, foodies will enjoy the great local restaurants at the heart of France's centre of gastronomic excellence, as well as the wine of AOC Bergerac. The area has been described the capital of world prehistory, and culture vultures are spoilt for choice with caves, museums and chateaux aplenty.
