Tillol, a 3 bedroom house set on a hillside in 5 hectares of un-overlooked pastures
and woods at the end of a lane.One of three gites which their own terraces and share a beautiful swimming pool
This lovely
typical Perigordian cottage is part of a small private hamlet, situated on 5 hectares of woods and pasture on a hillside with
wide-open views. The calm location at the end of a country lane, overlooking magnificent views ensures peace, quiet and
privacy. The owners are Swiss nationals, speak French, English and German and live here all year round with their friendly
dog.
The property has been amazingly renovated to a very high standard.
Tillol sleeps 6-8 but can be booked with one or
more of the other two cottages for larger groups of up to 16.
The cottage has a fabulous large beamed living with some
exposed stone walls, a massive farmhouse style dining table and two leather sofas. There is a beautiful huge open fire place
and an ancient free standing enameled wood burner, although the cottage is centrally heated. There is a television for
checking up on local weather.
Leading from the living room is a small sitting room, which for parties of eight, is made
into a bedroom with a lovely corner fireplace. This leads to the master bedroom with a double bed and stunning views. Four
steps up in the corner take you to the en-suite shower room/toilet.
The staircase from the living room takes you to a
bedroom under the eaves with 3-4 single beds and a bathroom.
There is a farmhouse style kitchen which offers all modern
conveniences. There is a dishwasher, washing machine, microwave and fridge with a small internal freezer section, to make
your life a little easier.
There is also another downstairs toilet.
Outside there is a covered private terrace with a
built in barbeque, garden table and chairs and a parasol.
Bedding is included and all beds are made up ready for your
arrival.
If ordered the day before, bread will be delivered to your door each morning.
It is possible to arrange for a
meal to be prepared for your arrival if requested.
The beautiful rolling, gentle hills are broken up by woodland and well
kept gardens with a lovely 11 x 5 meter pool with a terrace round the pool. The pool is un-overlooked by outsiders.
There
is a petanque area, badminton and other games for your enjoyment and a field for ball games.
There is also a communal
courtyard which is planted with flower beds.
The house is 5 minutes drive from Sauveterre-la-Lemance (Lot et Garonne)
where a boulangerie, butcher, grocery shop, chemist, petrol station, garage, post office, several bars and an excellent
restaurant are located. It is 9 minutes drive from Villefranche-du-Perigord (Dordogne), a 13th century bastide town with
restaurants, cafes, 2 butchers, 2 boulangeries, a chemist and many other amenities (ATM, bank, petrol station etc). For
larger supermarkets, and cheaper petrol stations, Fumel is only about 15 kilometers away.
If you need a bout of more
serious shopping during your stay, Bergerac, Villeneuve-sur-Lot and Cahors are easily accessible. Cahors in particular has a
lovely town, and a river frontage where boat trips along the Lot can be taken - remember also to stop off for a wander around
Preyssac on your way to Cahors, particularly on Thursday morning for the large market around its beautiful Church.
Local
markets occur most days and some nights in surrounding towns and villages. Excellent local produce such as lamb, all
vegetables, all fruits, especially the local strawberries, cheese and wine (Red: Cahors, White: Bergerac and Gaillac) make
the area superb for eating at home or out in the local restaurants.
The surrounding country is green and hilly with
stunning views. The famous 12th century castle of Bonaguil is only 20 minutes drive away. There are numerous medieval
villages and chateaux to explore in the area such as Monpazier and Biron. Canoeing, fishing, water-skiing and other water-
based activities are available on the River Lot near Fumel.
Walking, cycling, golf, and canoeing on the Dordogne are
probably the most popular outdoor activities here in the Dordogne and the Lot departments. Painting is also pursued by
several of our guests, with the fantastic views. If that is too quiet for you track down the annual village fetes held by all
the towns in the area - a night of eating, drinking and music takes over the town and carries on late into the night.
The
Dordogne is one of the gastronomic centers of France, famous for its foie gras, duck, truffles, mushrooms and seafood. There
are many excellent inexpensive restaurants in the area using traditional recipes.
Just down the road is Villefranche du
Perigord, a traditional bastide village of the Dordogne with an attractive covered market on Saturday mornings. With its
cobbled roads this is one of the most beautiful villages in the region.
The area is also well known for its wines. The
world famous vineyards of Medoc and St Emilion are close by and the local wines of Bergerac, Yquem, Monpazier and Cahors are
also excellent.
The area is rich in pageantry. The English ruled Aquitaine for 300 years in the Middle Ages under the
Plantaganets and there are many castles, bastide towns and fortified churches for you to visit.
