The pool and garden are highlights, offering a peaceful and secluded environment. The cottage's location is ideal for exploring the surrounding area by car, and the comfortable bedrooms and well-equipped kitchen contribute to a relaxing stay. Thoughtful touches from the host, such as home-grown produce and homemade jams, add to the charm of this holiday rental.

There is no specific mention of cleanliness in the reviews, so it is not possible to provide a score for this category.

The location is described as quiet and peaceful, overlooking fields and forest, which suggests a high level of satisfaction. However, it is noted that little is within walking distance, which may be a minor inconvenience for some.

Guests have highlighted the comfortable beds and the overall relaxing atmosphere of the property, indicating a high level of comfort.

The property is well-maintained with a lovely pool and well-equipped kitchen. However, one guest mentioned the lack of handrails in showers and difficulty with steps, which suggests some room for improvement in accessibility.

The host's thoughtfulness is frequently mentioned, with guests appreciating the welcoming touches such as home-grown tomatoes, homemade jams, and a sample of wine. While these gifts are highly valued, they are not guaranteed for every stay.

About this property

Perched on a hill among the vineyards, this villa in the Dordogne will excite travellers looking to commune with the region’s terroir. The sloping garden overlooks the rolling green countryside of Saint Antoine de Breuilh, a tiny hamlet with enormous charms. Inside the villa, you’ll love the simple, homey feel: the rough-hewn walls, tile and wood floors, and original exposed beams have warmth and classic holiday villa character.

Indeed, outdoor activities aren't hard to come by here - lovers of hiking, horseback riding, tennis, and golf will all find their passion in the surrounding area.



St. Emilion, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a short drive away. Try renowned local wines and explore shops and bakeries on cobbled medieval streets. You’ll also find plenty of outdoor adventures like ballooning, canoeing on the Dordogne and golf close by, or you can tour medieval chateaux and learn the region’s history.

Wine is everything in this region. Follow the nearby Dordogne river 30 km east to Bergerac, where you’ll find both your local airport and the Maison des vins de Bergerac - a museum where you can learn all about the appellation. Put your newfound knowledge to use at the dozens of wineries surrounding the city. You’re also spitting distance from the famous Bordeaux region. A little more than an hour's drive will take you to Bordeaux (the city), where you can launch another unforgettable wine tour.

Without any shadow of doubt, the department of Dordogne is one of the most charming destinations in Aquitaine and perhaps, in the whole South of France.

Laurel Rose enjoys an excellent location in the outskirts of the small hillside village of Saint Antoine de Breuilh, surrounded by vineyards and forests and bordered by the Dordogne river.

St. Emilion, a unesco World Heritage Site, is a short drive away. Try renowned local wines and explore shops and bakeries on cobbled medieval streets. You’ll also find plenty of outdoor adventures like ballooning, canoeing on the Dordogne and golf close by, or you can tour medieval chateaux and learn the region’s history.

The city of Bergerac, with its international airport, can be easily reached in about 40 minutes. A visit to the old town standing out for its medieval architecture, narrow streets full of local boutiques and good restaurant, is highly recommended. Here, you will also find the unmissable Maisons de Vins and will have the opportunity to take a tour along the Route de Vins de Bergerac.

The whole region is a true haven for nature and sport lovers alike offering a wide array of outdoor activities, from horse-back riding, to tennis, mountain-biking, golfing and watersports, not to mention the number of hiking opportunities.

On top of it all, several local villages with lovely weekly markets, excellent restaurants and historical attractions are all located within a short driving distance.

    This gite is fab! Everything you could want on a relaxing holiday in a beautiful area. The host was great, very welcoming - fresh home grown tomatoes, home made jams and a sample of her wine were waiting for us on arrival, a lovely touch! Having the pool was great, big enough to swim or play in. The whole garden is secluded and a real sun trap. Comfy beds, well equipped kitchen.. couldn't have asked for more! It's in a good location for exploring the area by car (v little within walking distance which wasn't an issue for us but maybe worth noting) Would thoroughly recommend!
