La Badoussie - Self-catering house in Dordogne
Daglan, 24250 Sarlat, Dordogne
Aquitaine,
Francia
Up from the wooded valley to land in a small hamlet… and, behind the high stone wall, La Badoussie, a golden 18th-century home with magnificent views. Enter the gravelled courtyard to find the house on one side and the barn ahead, impeccably linked to form a harmonious whole. There’s a cosy winter sitting room with whitewashed rafters and a splendid fireplace, a summer sitting room with rattan sofas and arched windows opening to the pool, and a big bright kitchen that cooks will love. The style is rustic-elegant, more chic than shabby: neutral colours, open stonework, prints, paintings and furniture painted in creams and greys. For families it’s heaven - climbing frame, badminton, ping pong, heaps of lovely toys and, beyond the planting and the lawns, wild edges falling away to woodland. Friendly neighbours live down the road but there’s no other house in sight. Pop into Daglan (2.5km), for tennis, smart restaurant and small Sunday market, or set off for Cenac, Sarlat, and ‘la vallée des cinq châteaux.’ Then a lap in the pool, a barbecue on the terrace, and beds with sprung mattresses wrapped in fine linen.

Local points of interest from David & Colleen Rosser:
Puntos de interés sobre la región de
David & Colleen Rosser:
- The Dordogne is one of the most beautiful areas of France and forms part of the Aquitane region. La Badoussie is set within the Perigord Noir, famed for its history, cuisine, chateaux and stunningly pretty villages.
- The nearby village of Daglan, which once accidentaly discovered by us, became the focus of a search for our holiday house. A short drive (or bike ride for those fit enough to take on the hill) for the daily croissants is a must - as is the weekly market.
- Bike hire within a 10 minute drive in nearby Castlenaud is a regular favourite for the family and guests. A gentle ride along the river is perfect for children of all ages with varying lengths of rides to suit those after more of a challenge.
- Sarlat (20 minutes away) is a must for food lovers and those seeking out the larger markets. There is a lively and cheerful atmosphere and its all set against the background of a beautiful town with exceptional, historical architecture. Not to be missed.
- Domme is one of the most famous Bastides in the region and a one-time base for the Knights Templar. The village is so picturesque that it has become very popular but the stunning panoramas of the Dordogne valley/river are worth it, as are the restaurants!
- And finally, a trip to the area would not be complete without hiring a canoe from one of the many locations on the River Dordogne. Our favourite is to start in Cenac, passing through the stunning Roque Gageac and by numerous chateaux.
