Le Mas & Le Mazet - Self-catering houses in Dordogne
1 Chemin du Mas, 24440 Sainte Croix, Dordogne
Aquitaine,
Francia
At the end of a country lane curving through forest and field, a cluster of 16th-century farm buildings has been transformed into luxurious retreats by Rupert and Franck who live in the former tobacco barn nearby. They are thoughtful and generous hosts.
The farmhouse is light and spacious with a big kitchen for many helpers – although you can hire a chef if you choose. There are heaps of games, toys and books for children, a long table for sociable meals and lovely gardens with a heated pool. The cottage is peaceful with your own private garden area. You're left wine and local treats, you can help yourselves to fruit from the orchard and an artisan baker delivers some mornings to both places.
Hire bikes to explore nearby hamlets and villages, swim or canoe in the river, hop in the car to visit local markets and brocantes. These are fuss-free places to stay and very generous to boot.

Rupert Springfield:
- The Daily Telegraph reviewed us online with a score of 9/10 and The Sunday Times has featured the properties numerous times. Links on our website. The French Ministry of Tourism has awarded Le Mas with 5 stars.
- Monpazier and Beaumont are two beautiful bastide villages, only 12 minutes away, both of which have weekly markets, regular brocantes, night markets and lots more to enjoy.
- There is a great 30 minute walk from the house past a 12th century church with original wall paintings, through a wood to a ruined castle towering over a beautiful Dordogne village, ending at a restaurant serving drinks and delicious food.
- Prior to your holiday we'll send you information about the great restaurants in the area which we can book for you, bike hire delivered to Le Mas for you, and massages, pilates and and yoga in the garden.
- We can arrange for a private French chef (who had a Michelin star for 8 years!) who can cook for you at Le Mas. We also have a local baker who can deliver your croissant and bread order in the mornings.
- Situated on top of a hill, the houses offer stunning uninterrupted views over the surrounding countryside and the 12th century church, whose bells you can hear across the valley.
