La Girbodie - Self-catering house in Dordogne
774 route de Jacqou, 24290 Thonac, Dordogne
Aquitaine,
Francia
Drive up the winding lane and you can almost feel the centuries drop away. Beyond is a house that might have been conjured for a film: ochre walls, a beautiful stone roof, dark wooden staircases, ancient fireplaces and rooms filled with furniture collected over the family's sixty years here.
Come together in the big kitchen, built around an island that can host a party. Take a book from the library, play cards by the fire, or enjoy your morning coffee beneath the enormous linden tree outside. Eight bedrooms are spread across two wings, each with its own character. The principal has a four-poster bed and a green-tiled bathroom, while up a narrow spiral staircase, two attic rooms are like stepping into a dollhouse.
The house meanders around courtyards and terraces, with cobbled pathways and corners appearing as you go. Outside, an old chicken coop has been reimagined as a pool house (with a plancha to cook on) beside the heated pool.
