Nearby Sarlat there's a Cocoon, to listen to the silence +Pool/Spa 30° & Jacuzzi

This property is in a gorgeous setting - rolling wooded hills. Very peaceful and scenic. 8 women of a certain age, from USA and Canada, spent 9 nights (there were six of us after the first 2 nights). We rented both the bigger cottage and the small one - after there were 6 of us, we could all have easily fit in the big one. Every room is thoughtfully decorated and the bathrooms are incredible. So nice to have good water pressure and lots of hot water and toilets and showers that work properly. All appliances were in working order and everything was spotless. There were plenty of linens and towels. Pascale has three little dogs that are delightful - we all enjoyed them! A nice welcome basket awaited us in each cottage, and I cannot think of a single utensil or item we needed and could not find. The real gift, though, is Pascale. She is so warm and friendly and helpful, I feel like I have a new friend. She went out of her way to pick me up in Brive to take me to the rental agency, because only the Hertz agency has vans with automatic transmission, and it isn't near the train station. Prior to that, she made many phone calls on my behalf finding just that vehicle to rent, and helping me get it booked. She then led us all to Souillac, where we picked up the rest of our people and their luggage, Then, on our last day, she did it all again, even though she needed to prepare the cottages for 12 arriving guests that afternoon. She also arranged for an appointment, and drove, and acted as interpreter with a physician when one of our party was ill. The dinner she prepared for us the first night we arrived was so good, and a friendly, welcoming evening was had under the hazelnut trees in the yard. Delicious food and great company. If you get a chance to have brunch at the castle whose owner she knows, in St. Genies, it is an unforgettable experience. The pool house has to be seen to be believed. It is like having a whole cottage beside the pool, (sans bedroom), and our group ate there almost every night. The pool is wonderful, warm and sparkling clean. I could go on and on, but you can see that 5 stars aren't enough - I would give 10 stars, and I can't wait to return! Thank you, Pascale!

My husband and I rented the small cottage/gite on this property for one week in September and had a fabulous time. September and October offer warm, sunny weather (75-82F), and the towns are not crowded so sightseeing is a joy! The cottage has lovely furnishings throughout as well as a modern bathroom and kitchenette. The kitchenette is fully equipped with appliances, cookware, dishes and glassware. The grounds, outdoor patio and pool areas are beautiful. The pool is heated to 89F. The owner, Pascale, is friendly, knowledgeable and very helpful. She speaks English fluently and provided helpful tips for our day trips. Go and have a wonderful time!

We spent two fabulous weeks in this very nice Gîtes. The house feels like a real original house from the region. Decorated with love and details, it has a special atmosphere that feels like vacation in France. We especially like the historic Flipper “Indiana Jones” and the original Juke Box that was running all day for us. The heated pool was large and perfectly situated by the house. Our two kids loved to use it almost every day. Being located in Simeyrols, it was possible to easy do day trips to all important Perigord locations like castles, botanical gardens, historic towns, caves and of course the Dordogne river where canoeing is the perfect sport. Last but not least it needs to be mentioned that Pascale is a perfect organizer and she can make almost everything happen. Thank you again for all your support Pascale !! Greetings from Frankfurt, Germany.

Highly recommended for a taste of the real Perigord. Our cottage was comfortable and nicely furnished and the country location was spectacular in the Spring. Pascal, our host truly excelled at making us feel at home and ensured we visited the considerable important sites in the area.
