A flamboyant place! You're in the heart of this charming market town, just a hop from the river and a stroll from pretty squares and bistros

A fine, three-storey house with parts dating back to the medieval times – find exposed beams, stone walls and large fireplaces. You enter through a side gate into a magical walled courtyard with peaceful gardens, a swimming pool and sun terraces among the pot plants, olive trees and lavender beds. The whole place is beautifully put together, with splendid rooms full of character, colourful art and designer features.

Spill out into a huge kitchen, a gymnasium with a full-sized Swedish sauna, a music room with grand piano and cinema, a summer kitchen conservatory, a pub-inspired games room, a formal drawing room and lots of convivial places to eat, inside and out. Bedrooms, named after London theatres, are spread out over three floors, three with en suite showers and two sharing a bathroom. Hotel-grade bedding and romantic views will revive you.

Stroll to shops, restaurants, the famous Saturday market, or take a picnic to the river bank.

Local points of interest from Mike Robertson:

Punti d'interesse locali da
Mike Robertson:

  • Sainte Foy La Grande is a medieval bastide town that is enveloped on three sides by Pineuilh, its more modern suburb.
  • Over the bridge is another of the 'burbs - Port-Sainte-Foy-et-Ponchapt and in both places are supermarkets, restaurants, butchers and bars.
  • Tavereau is slap bang in the middle of the bastide and along the two main streets (Rue de la République and Rue Victor Hugo) together with the town square there are local shops, bars, restaurants and banks.
  • A five minute drive or a twenty minute walk will take you to the edge of Pineuilh where there is a retail park with a hypermarket and other large outlet stores.
  • Two streets from the house is the Dordogne. There is a long promenade to drink in the view or more sensibly there are seating areas where you can drink in the wine.
