House in the heart of the medieval city, ideal location and dream land

We really enjoyed our stay in Sarlat. The house was comfortable and is in a great location for touring and dining in Sarlat. The town is very charming and there are a lot of intesting places to visit in the area.

There are two choices for parking: a designated space at the top of the hill adjacent to the entrance of the sloped lane, or you can drive down the lane to the house - which can be a little tricky depending on what car you drive. Down a few garden steps is a lovely terrace and south facing patio which leads to the entrance. The benefit of leaving your car up top of the hill-which we did- is that it won’t detract from the house’s charming position: perched high over Sarlat, it is surrounded by little meadows. The house is spacious, and has a very cosy, private feeling. And yet it is closer to the medieval centre than we first thought. Through a garden gate and down some steps, a paved public path runs through an ancient neighborhood below, leading you to one of Sarlat’s squares. From front door to the square is maybe a five minute walk. If you can, plan your visit around the Saturday market which is held in the town center.This property is a gem. The kitchen is well appointed, the living area and bedrooms spacious. A short drive in almost any direction will take you to any number of castles and villages.Our host was very gracious and most helpful. We are already planning our return visit!

Gorgeous home, very well located for exploring Sarlat and the surrounding villages.

We had a fantastic stay at Sophie's lovely house in Sarlat. The location is exactly as described, really close to the historic centre of town via an alleyway with steps, literally a 5 minute walk. The house was perfect for us two adults with 15 & 13yr old boys, we felt completely at home for the two weeks that we stayed in Sarlat. The kitchen was really well equipped, and the washer/dryer new and efficient, with a drying rack provided so that we could get our kit washed and dried easily after each new adventure. It was lovely to have a choice of the decent-sized dining table or the equally well-sized outside patio table (with sun shade) for family meals. The blackout blinds on the upstairs velux windows were great for keeping any hot sun out in the day. Sophie herself was was very friendly and helpful, coming to show us the way to the house when we arrived in Sarlat, and to give us a guided tour of the house. She was also really prompt and helpful answering any queries we had, as well as recommending places to eat, and letting us know when market days were - an excellent host, thank you for an amazing holiday!
