Poor cleanliness
The property could have been cleaner. There was also some exposed electrical wires. Be fully prepared for mosquitos as the property is near the river there are a lot of them.

Excellent Gite, in prime location
We stayed here for 2 weeks in August 2023. We arrived and Ariane (owner) had been let down by her cleaners so there was a small delay before entering the property. However once we gain entry we were more than happy with the accommodation and facilities. We were a family of 7- 4,8,9 children, parents and grandparents. There was lots of pool toys, toys in the house, games books. Ariane has lots of baby items if you need. The kitchen was well stocked with lots of pans and utensils. It was very hot (35-40C) when we stayed and could have benefitted from some AC but we managed and there are a couple of fans around that we used. The pool was great and very family friendly with steps into the pool for children to play on. There were sun shades and sun loungers (only 6). Ariane is a great host and we saw here a couple of times on our stay cleaning the pool and was lovely to speak to her. The gite has access to the river, which we used to paddle board and swimming the river - although very strong currents so be careful. Next door is a campsite and we heard no noise from this what so ever. Further down the road in Montfort is a boulangarie (which is 25 mins walk) and also a lovely restuarant we visited twice on our stay. Vitrac port has canoeing, but we also found a canoe hire just a short distance up river in the campsite just past lassagne (15 mins walk). Sarlat is 10 - 20 mins away depending on traffic. Would stay again!!!

Peaceful Retreat
We had a wonderful week’s stay. Our gracious host was always available and so very helpful. It was great to have a pool and also the Dordogne at the end of the garden! We like privacy and this place certainly did not disappoint. Centrally located, all the most beautiful attractions are on the door step. We used Brive airport (from Stansted) and hired a car. On return the fuel tank was still nearly full despite using it every day for visits. Everything is so close by. Fans were useful for the hot nights. Closing all indoor and outdoor shutters helps too. The house is very well equipped so expect much of what you have at home. A lovely stay. Thank you!

Lovely well equipped house with large private pool with river access
We spent 2 amazing weeks as a family of 4 (2 children aged 9 & 17). Ariane is the perfect host, ensuring the house was clean before we arrived and checking the pool regularly and if there was anything we needed. The house is lovely, brilliantly equipped, plenty of seating indoors and out. We really appreciated the pool, the kids loved it - very large. The house is in a really quiet area, so peaceful but very close to Sarlat and other attractions. The direct river access was a bonus - crystal clear water you can swim in and a bonus for us to kayak, SUP and fish. Thank you so much Ariane!

I don’t really want to say how lovely Ariane and her gite are as we won’t be able to book for next year when we want to ! The house is really family friendly(baby/ toddler safe ) / equally you wouldn’t notice if just adults. The best location as so much to do and really comfortable and everything works well and and well maintained.

Very relaxing
We booked a year in advance and was our first post covid holiday. The accommodation was in very good condition with everything you needed and plenty of space. Arianne was locals and available but we didn’t need her help as everything was obvious. The pool was the main feature and was very welcome in temperatures of 37c plus. All the family enjoyed the stay and I would definitely recommend. Check in was super quick and Arianne came to say goodbye the night before we left. Overall - excellent accommodation, great location, unobtrusive but welcoming host. Thank you Arianne.

A wonderful return to Vitrac
Ariane is a most welcoming, helpful and friendly host and took great care that we would find the house in excellent condition. We visited four years ago and found the house to be just as well equipped as before. The house and garden are very relaxing and we really enjoyed relaxing in the pool and in the garden. This part of Perigord Noir is delightful; we walked to Montfort and Soleil Plage where we hired kayaks and had a lovely day travelling down the river to Vezac. We also revisited Domme and Beynac where we ate lovely meals again. We are so glad we came back here, it really is a most delightful holiday location. Thank you, Ariane!

Amazing family holiday
We spent a week in the cottage with another family, including 2 babies and a toddler. The cottage was ideal and had everything we needed for entertaining and caring for young children. The house is large and the surrounding space for playing, trips to the river beach and pool really added to the magic of our trip. The location is fantastic for exploring the Dordogne and there’s a lovely bakery in Montfort, within walking distance. Ariane is a pleasure to communicate with and really looked after us well. A great find for a holiday. We hope to come back soon.

Beautiful house in a stunning location with a wonderful host
We spent a week at the house with our young baby. Ariana the owner could not have been more helpful. The house is spacious and cool on summer, great kitchen. The pool is fantastic and looks out over the valley, totally secluded, but within easy walk of camp sites down the road if you don’t feel like cooking. 10 mins drive from a number of Chateaus and pretty villages, as well as supermarkets. Great place for a family holiday in truly beautiful surroundings.

FAB-U-LOUS!!!
Beautiful property and setting. Ariane greeted us and is a lovely lady. The house is extremely well equiped from cuttelry and crockery and towels and bed linen and she also leaves what the previous occupants have left so all basics for the kitchen are there, the follwing property we stayed at removes EVERYTHING and was very stingy with towels and bedding! Fantastic area, lots of places to visit, Chateaus galore (Milandes has a bird of prey show), Grottes galore, can thoroughly recommend kyaking on the Dordogne, my 1st time and felt safe and sound. You wont be disappointed here, we would definitely stay again, Thank you Ariane De Gerard for a fabulous stay!

Perfect for Us
The house & surrounding property are even nicer than they look online. The house was very comfortable & well equipped for our family of 4 adults, a baby, & a toddler. Lots of toys & informative guide books, and everything we needed for the baby. We enjoyed the great big dining table & new downstairs stall shower, & the comfortable living area. Sound carries in the house, particularly upstairs, which was sometimes a challenge with sleeping children. The salt water pool was great & lit up at night looked beautiful. The owner was very attentive & her son cleans the pool regularly. There's a path to a small beach at the river that's a 2 minute walk away. The house is perfectly situated for short trips to Domme, Sarlat, Beynac, La Roque-Gageac, & many more lovely villages in the area. Shopping & local markets are also close by. We had a wonderful stay & enjoyed our time here. Highly recommended!

Lovely welcoming place to explore the Dordogne.
This was our second stay and we choose to return, because all 5 of us love this house and the surroundings. The weather wasn't great, but the house was cosy and we used the fire-place. Sarlat is at a good distance to do the shopping and sightseeing. We went to Beynac castle this time, went canoeing and walked in the area. Ariane was lovely and very welcoming. Our kids have already told us they want to return.
