About this property
Surrounded by rolling hills, vines and golden fields, Maison Marmont stands as a graceful echo of rural French charm. Dating back to the early 19th century, this sensitively restored farmhouse in the Lot countryside welcomes up to 6 guests. Stone walls still bear the marks of history, while beamed ceilings and thoughtful interiors create a welcoming atmosphere.
The main house features a farmhouse-style kitchen, where French doors lead straight out to the garden terrace. A dedicated dining room and TV snug offer spaces to gather or unwind, while upstairs, the air-conditioned living room invites lazy afternoons with a book or a film. Two double bedrooms (one ensuite) ensure restful nights, complemented by a generous family bathroom.
Just across the lawn, the separate Garden Annexe offers a charming retreat, complete with an open-plan living-dining area, kitchenette, a third double bedroom and a modern shower room. French doors lead to a private terrace, ideal for morning coffee or a glass of local Malbec as the sun dips below the hills.
The other outdoor spaces are equally inviting. The 10m-long private pool shimmers under wide open skies, flanked by a sun terrace with loungers and a dining spot for leisurely poolside meals. A second shaded dining terrace with barbecue make it easy to enjoy the gentle rhythm of countryside living.
The house is located just a 5-minute drive from a tiny village with a grocery store/café-bar/restaurant. Head 12km to Puy-l'Évêque for further amenities and soak up the charm of its historic riverside beauty. Spend days exploring walking and cycling trails, sampling local wines or gliding along the Lot River by canoe.
Further afield, visit the bastide villages of southern Dordogne, the historic market town of Cahors or even venture to the picture-perfect village of Saint-Cirq-Lapopie.
Whether savouring family moments or seeking a slower pace, Maison Marmont offers an attractive retreat in one of France’s most authentic and captivating corners.
In rural southwestern France, this 3-bedroom farmhouse offers a rustic escape amid rolling hills, vines and open countryside, only a 15-minute drive from Puy-l'Évêque and the Lot River.
The house is set on a country lane in open countryside. The nearest tiny village, Sérignac, is 2.5km away with its small grocery store (with bread)/café-bar/restaurant whilst further amenities can be found in Puy-l'Évêque (12km) and Montayral (14.5km)
Surrounded by the gentle hills and not far from the Lot River, this area is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts. Guests can explore the restful landscapes on numerous walking and cycling trails or rent electric bikes for a more leisurely experience. The nearby Lot River offers opportunities for canoeing and kayaking, while local wineries provide tours and tastings of the region's renowned wines, including those from Cahors' prestigious AOC appellation. For the culinary inclined, the region boasts several excellent restaurants.
Culture and history are woven into the fabric of the area, from the cobbled streets and medieval buildings of Puy-l'Évêque to the bustling markets and historic sites of Cahors (37km), especially loved for its iconic bridge, Pont Valentré.
Further afield, a visit to Saint Cirq Lapopie (62km) is a must - perched high above the river, this picture-perfect village is regularly named among France's most beautiful, with its winding lanes, artisan shops and panoramic views.
The Lot countryside also makes an excellent base for exploring the southern Dordogne. Discover the bastide charm of Monpazier (40km) and Villefranche-du-Périgord (27km), or venture a little further to marvel at the riverside splendour of Domme and La Roque-Gageac, just over an hour away.
