Le Renard - Self-catering house in Dordogne
21 Grand rue, 24230 Velines, Dordogne
Aquitaine,
Francia
This very lovely town house, elegantly decorated in whispered tones, sits in a quiet village in the Entre Deux Mers wine region. Built in the late 18th century, it feels chic and charming thanks to the Antipodean owners’ smart renovation. Clean lines and wooden floors are warmed with sisal rugs and upcycled furniture. Walk in and drop your shoulders along with your bags – this is a lovely place to relax.
There’s a light-filled drawing room on the ground floor and a large, well-equipped kitchen at the back of the house with a generous antique table for convivial meals (and a welcome basket of wine, bread, cheese, and more). Double doors open onto the garden – a private oasis with a dining terrace, barbecue and shaded sun beds around a pretty plunge pool.
Upstairs, three double bedrooms – the master has an en suite and views of the garden, the other two have French windows onto small balconies overlooking the quiet street.
