Black and White House

About this property

With charming views over the Dordogne Valley, Black and White House is a beautiful breakaway for the whole family to enjoy. Sleeping 10 guests, the villa is a modern building, blending peacefully into the landscape and nestled within the trees.

On the first floor, a large and bright living area centres the villa, with plenty of room for the whole family to enjoy. In the lounge there is a fixed television with a DVD player. The villa also has a moveable TV that can be moved into the bedrooms. Tourist guides are on hand to offer more information on the local area, and board games are on offer for everyone to gather and spend quality together in the evenings.

The kitchen has a modern finish, with black countertops and white cupboards. The kitchen is separated from the living room with a glass wall, making the family space feel even bigger. Large windows frame the trees outside, bringing the nature into your luxurious hideaway. The cupboards are stocked with basics ingredients to get you started, including tea, coffee, tea, sugar, oil, salt and pepper. The kitchen is also equipped with all essentials including the cooker, dishwasher, crockery, toaster, kettle, and electric coffee machine. Glass windows on every side offers panoramic views of the valley as you enjoy preparing meals together with fresh, local produce.

From the living room, open large glass patio doors and step out onto a patio with a dining table set out. A parasol is on hand to provide shade while you dine underneath a canopy of trees.

Back inside, the villa has four bedrooms spread out across the two floors. Two bedrooms have en-suite bathrooms with walk-in showers or a bathtub with a shower. Each bedroom is spacious, with plenty of storage for everyone to settle into with homely yet modern décor. The third and fourth bedrooms share a family bathroom off the main corridor. The fourth bedroom has two sets of bunk beds, perfect for families with young children sharing. Kids will love sleeping all in the same room, allowing them to have a sleepover every night! Even more so, with all the activities surrounding the villa, it won’t take them long to fall asleep!

Outside the villa, you are surrounded by a gorgeous landscape. A shaded terrace provides a peaceful and cooling corner off the main grounds. The villa also has a barbecue, perfect for chilled evenings in the gardens. Walking down the steps to the bottom of the garden, you'll find a heated private pool, that you can enjoy day or night. Decking runs around the pool with sun loungers and parasols gathered, ready for you to dry off after a refreshing swim.

The facilities within the villa also include laundry facilities, an iron and ironing board, a hairdryer and a highchair and baby cot for the newest members of the family. Black and White House is ready for you to unpack and enjoy your family holiday straight away!

Black and White House lies deep in the heart of France, looking out over the Dordogne valley. Dordogne is also referred to as Périgord Noir, filled with scenic landscape known for its abundance of prehistoric cave dwellings & medieval towns. Famous for the black truffles found on the woodland floor, you will be filling your days exploring the history and beauty of the area. Taste the local cuisine at the local restaurants and cafes or pick up fresh produce and cook your meals at home, watching the sunset as you eat.

The Dordogne River is a great way to bring the whole family together. Enjoy the river from its banks, paddling or swimming in the cooling waters. Alternatively, experience more of the scenic river and take a kayaking tour, exploring the villages, towns and landscape from the water beneath the sunshine. Périgord-Limousin National Park is filled with adventure, with 2,000km of paths and trails ahead of you to explore. Périgord-Limousin has a diversity of landscapes, making it highly unique. This includes rivers, limestone plateaus, forests, cliffs, peat bogs and ponds. This diversity also makes wildlife abundant, including, hen harriers, ungulates and peregrine falcons.

If you want to explore the local towns and villages, Sarlat, is a must-see in the area, located north of Dordogne. Containing the highest density of classified historical monuments, the town was founded in the 9th century. You will love walking through the streets, admiring history on every side. With architecture dating back to the 14th, 15th and 16th centuries, there are stories of times gone by at every turn. Pick up a walking tour booklet from the tourist centre near the cathedral! For your information, market days in the town are on Saturdays and Wednesdays. Finally, summer is when Dordogne comes to life, and theatre and jazz festivals are plentiful as you relax in the sunshine.
