"Paradise in the Perigord."
We rented a gite in a town called Peyzac-le-Moustier - a thriving urban centre of 197 persons. We decided (because of our age and packing/repacking) to stay 2 1/2 weeks in one place and day trip. Good choice. What a marvellous place! Set on 10 hectares, overlooking a valley and rolling hills, it slows your heart rate and cures your sleep disturbances. Spring is fully engaged in this part of the world - so much so that we may just do a photo blog of all the amazing flora we are surrounded by. We settled in, seriously unpacked and fortified ourselves for upcoming adventures.
The view from our window at La Cipiere All the irises made Deirdre regret the fact that we cannot grow irises in Mexico. I will just have to take lots of photos of irises to bring back to Mexico for her.
"A lovely garden and a fine terrace."
We enjoyed our stay at gîte l'Hirondelle in the May holidays. A lovely place to stay for a family with two children aged 8 and 10. Lots of space inside; it was nice sitting both at the dining table and on the sofas. There is a television with countless channels. Nice that the cottage has a DVD player and the music system with Bluetooth is handy for playing our music from Spotify.
For us, the garden and terrace were a big plus. The children played a lot in the large garden. Swinging and of course hanging lazily in the hammocks. We enjoyed sitting on the terrace with a beautiful view over the garden. We liked the location of your property. Right in between the Vézère and Dordogne rivers, in a quiet location, with all the major attractions nearby. The boat trip in La Roque-Gageac was a super day with the cosy town. Domme was nice with the views, terraces and shops. Montignac and Monpazier were doubly lovely by visiting them on a market day.
Thanks for these lovely two weeks and who knows, see you soon!
"We enjoyed the view and the beautiful garden."
If like us, you can spend your holidays here at la Cipiere in May, you get lost in wonder.... We enjoyed the lovely gite with its beautiful decoration, the garden with the trees and flowers, and especially the beautiful view.
At any time of day, the view from the terrace of le Rossignol is beautiful, in the morning when there is mist that slowly dissolves with the sun, a little stroll along the plant borders at the front. In the afternoon, when the weather is fine, reading a book in a hammock in the shade of the trees, yes, what more could you want?
If you want to do some activities then you can take advantage of the many walks Jeroen and Corinne have for you and in the fields and forests there are also many flowers such as daisies, bellflowers, chickadees, orchids and salvias.
We also enjoyed the beautiful villages and towns, castles, gardens and canoe trips, in short, too much to do all in one week so we definitely want to come back to this beautiful area again!
"The beautiful pool with its lights at night was a beautiful experience."
We were warmly welcomed by Jeroen and Corinne, who gave us many tips on the area while remaining at a distance, which we really appreciated. We got to swim in the pool twice at night with the lights on while it was pitch black around us, a great experience.
La Cipière is located in beautiful surroundings where nature is abundant. We enjoyed the sunrise and the fantastic views from le Rossignol's terrace. The pool is a place where you can relax and enjoy the beautiful plants around you and the large field around it, ideal for children and adults alike.
The garden and arboretum are a pleasant place where you can also admire the sculptures Corinne has made. We enjoyed the authentic Dordogne with its legends and castles. We visited the castles of Marzac and Puymartin where they offer a game for children, an original way to enjoy an extra visit.
What is definitely recommended, a canoe trip on the meandering Vézère with the family on a hot summer day, where you have the coolness of the water and the shade of the trees. We enjoyed the gastronomy in saint Léon and the restaurant l'Essai in Sarlat.
We also got to know the history of the region better by visiting le Roque saint Christophe, la Roque Gageac and Domme. We also visited the gardens of Marqueyssac at dusk, which was beautifully illuminated by thousands of candles. In short, a very successful holiday.
"A really relaxing holiday."
We had a lovely relaxing holiday with the five of us and your hospitality at La Cipiere contributed greatly to this. It was a very nice spacious gite (Le Hibou) with good beds, a nice kitchen and a cosy living room.
The garden is great for relaxing in a hammock under a tree or interacting with the other guests, like during a game of petangue. But equally, there is plenty of space to keep to yourself. The pool was also a delight every day for the children to cool off or just have fun.
We also really enjoyed Corinne's sculpting course. In addition, there is plenty to do in the area within a short distance and all in beautiful surroundings.
We can heartily recommend your Gite
"For those who love peace, space and beautiful nature."
We stayed at L'Hirondelle for 14 days at the beginning of September. Beautiful gite, spacious , clean and fully equipped. Lovely to sit on your terrace or in the beautiful garden under the trees. The pool is super nice with lovely loungers. The domain is located in the country site, not far from many attractions, picturesque villages, castles, caves, rivers and beaches.
In short , for those who love peace, space and beautiful nature a must.
