Le Mazet - Self-catering house in Dordogne
1 Chemin du Mas, 24440 Sainte Croix, Dordogne
Aquitaine,
Francia
On top of a hill with countryside views, the cottage is part of a patchwork of 16th-century stone farm buildings beautifully renovated by Rupert and Franck who live in the former tobacco barn nearby.
Country walks lead from the house, you can hire bikes to explore nearby hamlets and villages and swim or canoe on the Dordogne. Hop in the car to visit local markets and brocantes, and you can help yourself to fruit from the orchard and produce from the veg garden; your hosts leave you with wine and home-made jam and an artisan baker delivers in the mornings.
It’s peaceful here, the only sound the distant chime of church bells across the valley. As the sun goes down fire up the barbecue in your private garden area or get cosy round the roaring fire. Either way uncork the wine.

Local points of interest from Rupert Springfield:

Rupert Springfield:
- The Daily Telegraph reviewed us online with a score of 9/10 and The Sunday Times published an article about us in February 2022. Links on our website. The French Ministry of Tourism has awarded Le Mazet with 4 stars.
- Le Mazet is situated between Monpazier and Beaumont, both beautiful bastide (fortified) towns built by Edward I of England. They have restaurants, shops, café terraces and artisan bakeries. The Dordogne is steeped in history and has stunning nature.
- 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.
- The garden is full of fruit trees which you are welcome to pluck and you'll find home-made jams and produce in your welcome pack. For fresh fruit and veg there are markets in the surrounding towns most days of the week.
- We can arrange for a private chef to bring you pre-prepared dishes which you just need to warm up. Very handy for your day of arrival. We also have a local baker deliver here every morning so you can stay longer in bed.
- 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.
