About this house rental
If you're looking to experience life in a French village, this is where you want to be. Named the best French village for foodies by National Geographic (2022), Issigeac is a market lover's dream. The village is home to a FANTASTIC weekly market on Sunday mornings (so it's highly recommended you start your rental on a Saturday). Just steps from our front door, you can get pretty much whatever you want to eat or drink. The market spills out from the central village square into the winding streets with fruit & vegetable stands, stalls that specialize in cheese, roast chicken, fish, oysters, olives, foie gras, crèpes, paella, sausages...
The village has a full range of shops (bakery, groceries, organic food, butcher, wine, magazines), as well as cafes, restaurants, hair salon/spa, yoga studio, children's playground and artists' studios.
Our house is located in the Dordogne department of southwestern France, with the nearest airport and train station (in Bergerac) are just 15 minutes away.
The house is renovated but still simple. On the ground floor, the eat-in kitchen is surrounded by warm exposed stone walls, with exposed oak beams on the ceiling. On the middle floor, there are 3 bedrooms: (two with double beds, and one with bunk beds). The entire top floor is a sitting area/lounge with a double sofa bed and single day bed.
Outdoors, relax in our grassy courtyard garden - a rarity in such a village.
We are open to having as many as 8 people, but we recommend no more than four adults, as there is only one bathroom.
Please contact us for a 20% discount if you stay 2 or more weeks.

We arrived in this charming mediaeval town and well-equipped renovated house with wonder. It was a step back in time, a place of peace and quiet and bird song. We explored the labyrinth of roads and passageways that centred around the main church and marketplace. With more time we would have liked to visit the many artful shops. We had fun cooking at home in the updated kitchen with the large dining table and French doors that opened to a sunlit area with a beautiful rose tree. The Spar grocery store was nearby, as were the two restaurants where we had the best cuisine on our trip in France…l’Atelier and La Brucelière, outside on their patios with exquisite menus and service. There were walking trails leading out of Issigeac that were easy and pastoral. The bedrooms on the second floor were large and comfortable. The top floor we didn’t use but would be great for kids too, with games and toys and lots of books. A small note to future guests that many historic homes have steep stairs and uneven floors….and a final special note regarding Mymy, who manages the house when the owners are away. She lives just around the corner and was extremely helpful and made our stay most pleasant. If you take the train from Bordeaux to Bergerac, our experience was hiring a taxi at the station which we rebooked for our return. We were let out at the side of the church and made our way down passages to find #5, to be welcomed by a cool, clean, character home for our too brief stay.

In October, Issigeac is pretty quiet except for Sunday market and some music Wednesday night at Andy’s Bar. I hear quite a bit busier in summer! I spent my days exploring the area on a bike and working at a friend’s farm near-by. Really enjoyed my stay here and highly recommend!

Charming medieval house in the centre of Issigeac. Everything was at our disposal and excellent communication from Lee-Anne when we cldnt find the hairdryer! So many different villages within half an hour’s drive and lots to do - lots of information about what to do etc was given and was v helpful! A lovely stay.

Notre séjour ne s'est pas passé comme nous l'aurions souhaité car toutes les prestations annoncées n'étaient pas disponibles: pas de connexion internet (il n'y avait pas de box et pas de 4G dans la maison ni d'ailleurs quasiment aucun réseau), pas de machine à laver non plus. La propriétaire a oublié de nous en informer et pour ce désagrément nous a dédommagé. Mais les vélos et canoë proposés dans le descriptif sont inutilisables car ensevelis sous des fientes de pigeons et de poussière, le parasol sert de nid pour les guêpes et il n'y a pas non plus de parking à proprement parler car c'est un parking municipal à 100m de la maison (la maison n'y a pas de place réservée). Il y a aussi dans le descriptif des éléments tel que sèche-cheveux ou grille pain que l'on a pas trouvé. Les placards étaient remplis de nourriture si bien que l'on ne pouvait pas ranger nos courses.
Malgré tout ça, location calme et village sympa. Assurez-vous juste que toutes les prestations proposées sont bien disponibles.
