Domaine des Ormeaux - Self-catering house in Dordogne
Chartreuse des Ormeaux

Aquitaine,
Francia
A long drive curls through ancient trees to reveal these elegant 19th-century homes in warm local stone with a terrace made for long, lazy lunches or evening drinks. Inside, you’ll find two fully equipped kitchens (each with a dishwasher) and four living rooms, and all within a beautiful four-hectare landscaped park with a big heated swimming pool.
The ten bedrooms are stylish and generous – all have lovely views. Bathrooms are immaculate, most are en suite (one double shares a bathroom with a twin – perfect for families with small children). The pool, tucked into the lawn, is bordered by a potager, greenhouse and friendly hens in a coop. Everything has been thought of: a concierge service, restaurant-standard meals on request, and plenty of crockery and kit for celebratory suppers. Come in winter for one of their Black Périgord Truffle Discovery Weekends.
Kids will love the woods and the chooks; grown-ups will revel in the space, serenity and charm of this stylish retreat.
