House 8 persons, Ferme de Paufy. Ideal for families and nature lovers

Lovely airy accommodation with all you need for a relaxing holiday. It is fairly remote, but only a short (25-35 minute) drive to some very nice locations, including the towns of Bergerac and Perigeaux. Access to lots of walks through the country lanes, or stay on the property and enjoy the swimming pool, badminton and table tennis etc. Plus extensive play areas if you have children. Valérie and her husband run the farm and sell the produce. Valérie’s mum, Marie-France was lovely, very helpful, and we could buy their home grown vegetables and figs plus goodies from the organic farm shop (including eggs). She happily took us round the garden to see what we would like and everything was picked fresh. There’s a good Inter marche in Mussidan (about 12 minutes drive) plus a Lidl and Netto, though we didn’t use these. Visiting the working mill a little north of the property was well worth the drive, the nut oils, nut flours, soaps and other artisan products were wonderful, and the owner who gave us a tour was so informative and passionate. Would we stay again? Definitely! Loved the house, the area, the animals and the hosts.

Many thanks to Marie-France for the warm welcome. We had a wonderful time in this comfortable Gite. The surrounding countryside and the garden is picturesque. The swimming pool provided a welcome cool-down at the end of the hot weather while we were staying. Even when it was very hot outside, the shutters on the windows kept the inside of the Gite comfortable. Would recommend for a family holiday.

We had a lovely stay with Valerie & Landry at their farm in St-Gery. The apartment is spacious and the kitchen is very well equipped. It really has everything you need. The garden is large and extremely well maintained and our children were able to run around without any problems or fear for their safety. A large sandpit and new climbing frame had just been set up before we arrived and the kids made ample use of all the facilities. The swimming pool is very clean and enclosed by a large gate which was great for us as we didn't have to constantly keep an eye on our children, aged 2 and 4. For us adults there was badminton and table tennis, so plenty to do. Valerie and Landry run a biological chicken farm which was great as we had delicious fresh eggs for breakfast a couple of times. We witnessed a tremendous electrical storm and some bad weather that caused the wifi to shut down a couple of times during our stay. But after telling Valerie is was up and running in no time. The only thing that would have been nice is if the sun loungers had been equipped with some cushions as these were rather uncomfortable without them and were therefor not used. As for the surrounding area, Perigueux, which is about 45 minutes away by car, is really worth a visit and Bergerac is 20 minutes drive from the house. If you want a quiet holiday suitable for children then this is definitely recommended. Kind regards, Katherine & Jelmer from Holland

From the arrival we were warmly greeted. The pictures on line didn't do justice to how beautiful the setting was. The gite was much larger than we had anticipated and was spotless. The facilities were perfect especially for our 3 year old granddaughter who was able to run around safely. She really enjoyed seeing all the animals on the farm. The gite is very well placed for easy access to visit many places of interest and although in a very rural location, the supermarket is only 10 mins away. Perfect. Many thanks to Valerie and all the family for making our stay so enjoyable. We have no hesitation in recommending this gite to others.
