Le Figuier - Self-catering house in Dordogne
530 Chemin des Palisses, 24290 Auriac-du-Périgord, Dordogne
Aquitaine,
France
This rambling farmhouse in a hamlet that dates to 1715, has been restored with care and instinct by owner Wab. Two original stone buildings are joined by a light-filled salon with enormous windows that look out on to rolling hills. Ancient stone walls keep the summer heat at bay.
To one side, the kitchen – welcoming and airy with everything you need to feed a crowd. In the other building, five bedrooms (three doubles, two singles) ranged over two floors, including one with an ancient stone fireplace, and connected by a wooden spiral staircase. Upstairs, narrow corridors pass through stone doorways – it’s like staying in a rustic doll’s house.
Outside, there’s a saltwater pool and a "coin de repas" where you can fire up the barbecue and eat al fresco. There’s no television, no noise. Just birdsong and crickets. Sip an aperitif under the spreading fig tree and take it easy.
