About this cottage rental
Berbiguières is a small, picturesque village in the heart of the Perigord Noir. Its houses cluster along the walls of a 15th century chateau. The entire village is classified and protected from commercialization. It is ideally situated for exploring the Dordogne region.
On the main level of the charmingly-restored, 400-year-old, Non-Smoking cottage is the living/dining area with its original open fireplace. The kitchen has all you need for dining in. Downstairs is the main bedroom, together with the bathroom, toilet room, and laundry. Upstairs is a second bedroom with two single beds. The stone terrace and grape arbor are setup for outdoor grilling and dining. Linens are provided. (Note: the stairs to the upper and lower levels are somewhat steep and may not be suitable for infirm people.)
Berbiguières is within easy reach of a rich variety of historic sites, from the pre-historic caves at Lascaux, to nearly 50 restored castles that date from the 100 Years War (1325-1453), to elegant 17th and 18th century chateaux with their lovely formal gardens. Access to the Dordogne for swimming and canoeing is nearby. There are boat tours along the river if you prefer a narrated approach. The hills beckon with excellent hiking opportunities.
The Dordogne region is renowned for its truffles, its foie gras, and its fine cuisine and Bordeaux wines. The vineyards of St. Emillion, Montbazillac, and Cahors are within an hour or two's drive. Outdoor markets rotate daily through local towns, such as Sarlat, St. Cyprien, and Bergerac, if you want to shop for local fare and eat in. Or, dine in one of the many fine restaurants in the area. Visit fortified bastide towns, such as Domme, Belves, and Montpazier, for a sense of medieval history. In summer, there are excellent theater and music festivals to enjoy.
English-speaking neighbors are ready to help you find your way around the cottage, the neighborhood, or the region. This makes the cottage ideal for holiday and vacation rental. IF MY PROPERTY IS OCCUPIED WHEN YOU WOULD LIKE TO RENT, I MAY BE ABLE TO ASSIST WITH OTHER PROPERTIES IN THE VILLAGE; PLEASE CONTACT ME.

This is an excellent location from which to explore the area: within a half hour drive to many interesting sites. It was very quiet for sleeping and had a lovely outdoor courtyard to enjoy an evening glass of wine. Not for everyone, as others have noted, with steep stairs to lower level. But that is a trade off for the opportunity to stay in a 400 year old cottage in a great location. We recommend nearby Bistrot d’Epicure and the excellent wine store Julien de Savignac in Le Bugue. Thanks to Ines!

We had a great time in this beautiful little cottage. It's a bit of a drive but worth it! It's close to many castles and outdoor activities. There were 4 of us and the place for us perfectly. I would recommend it to anyone.

I discovered Berbiguieres by chance and loved it so much I had to go back. I found the listing and contacted Katherine to make the reservation almost 2 years ahead of time. It was my dream place and I was not let down. The place was a perfect Perigordian cottage. Perfect in every way, the welcome, the ambiance, the convenience, the comfortableness, and the simple beauty of rural France, which to me is infinitely better than the large cities. I would never go to Paris or Province when I can go to Perigord. I am an artist, an Art History and a History buff. This place has everything. The cottage is really special. I recommend it to everyone! And I felt I made a new friend with Katherine who went out of her way to make sure our welcome was impeccable. There was a wonderful terrace and garden, the view over fields and mountains is beautiful, and the amenities like kitchen and bathroom were clean and fully equipped.

What a fantastic experience we had. The cottage in Berbiguières was just what we needed to get the full experience of the Perigord Noir/Dordogne Region of France. It's centrally located just south of the river and an easy drive to so many charming communities and chateaus throughout the region. Not to mention that Berbiguières itself is a quaint, country community that is full of charm and relaxation. Our entire experience was top notch - from making the reservation with the owner to working with the local property manager. The cottage is well appointed and has everything you need for enjoying your time at the cottage and resting between outings exploring the region. You're greeted by a quaint covered patio just through the gate, situated along the walking path from the center of the village. You open the door and pass through a thick stone wall that transports you to the past with all the creature comforts of the present. A comfortable living room/dining room/kitchen offers the perfect space to plan your daily excursions or to consume your purchases from one of the local public markets. There are two bedrooms - one upstairs and one on the lower level (three stories) that offered us plenty of privacy as we were two couples traveling together. The bathroom included a wonderful shower that worked well for someone taller like me - not to mention great water pressure. All in all, I cannot begin to say enough words of compliments or thanks for such a great experience and stay. The cottage helped make our trip to the Dordogne special, memorable and down right perfect! Thanks for making it available to us - as our travels allow, we'd love to go back. Merci beaucoup!!
