Escape to the unspoiled countryside of Southwest France and discover Las Vignotes de Léa, a charming and secluded home perched above the picturesque village of Payrac, in the Lot. With its private pool, sweeping valley views, and stylish comfort, this is the perfect place to disconnect, unwind, and explore the treasures of the Lot and Dordogne regions. Whether you're looking for tranquil poolside days, cultural discovery, or culinary indulgence, this is your perfect French escape.
Set on 1.5 acres of private land, Las Vignotes de Léa offers a serene, elevated position surrounded by lush greenery, where deer often wander by and birdsong fills the air. Inside, the home is lovingly restored and thoughtfully equipped. The master bedroom offers breathtaking valley views and ample wardrobe space. The second bedroom sleeps up to three guests with a bunk bed (double on the bottom, single on top). A convertible sofa bed in the living area offers space for two additional guests. The open-plan living room features a wood-burning stove, board games, playing cards, and a TV with French channels and Netflix (with your account).
The modern, brand-new kitchen includes a fridge-freezer, oven, microwave, dishwasher, coffee maker, toaster, and full cookware and dinnerware – everything you need to feel at home. The bathroom includes a walk-in power shower, double sinks, and a separate WC. Families with young children are welcome – we provide a cot, high chair, and baby bath upon request.
Step outside into your own private paradise. Enjoy a dip in the private pool, soak up the sun on loungers, dine al fresco on the shaded terrace, and enjoy peaceful evenings with a glass of local wine and a BBQ dinner. The outdoor space is tranquil, private, and perfect for unwinding. Watch the sun set behind the hills and keep an eye out for local deer grazing nearby.
Located in the heart of the Lot region, Les Vignotes de Léa is an ideal base for exploring both the Lot and Dordogne valleys. The spectacular cliffside village of Rocamadour – France’s second most visited heritage site – is just a short drive away. Nearby you’ll also find some of France’s most beautiful villages including Sarlat, Domme, La Roque-Gageac, Saint-Cirq-Lapopie, Autoire, and Beynac. History lovers will enjoy visits to ancient châteaux, Romanesque abbeys, and the spectacular Gouffre de Padirac cave system, just 38 km away.
Food and wine lovers will find plenty to enjoy – from bustling local markets to authentic restaurants, farm shops, and the famous Malbec vineyards of Cahors. Try local delicacies such as truffles, duck, foie gras, and walnut-based desserts. The Lot and Dordogne rivers are perfect for canoeing, swimming, boat trips, and riverside picnics. There are also plenty of scenic walking and cycling trails to explore right from the doorstep.
The house accommodates up to seven guests comfortably and is perfect for couples, families with children, or friends looking for a relaxing escape.
