La Closerie

Whether you're a couple seeking a peaceful getaway in the Dordogne or a family looking for plenty of features to keep the children happy, this 18th century villa enjoys such a beautiful setting high above the rolling French countryside.

Appreciate La Closerie's classic ambience with stone walls, wood-burning fireplaces and simple, rustic furnishings. Soak up the sun on the loungers by the pool and dine al-fresco on the stone terrace looking over the vast gardens. Younger guests will also adore the indoor games and play set in the garden.

Set off on a hike - there's no shortage of beautiful paths here on the edge of the rural town of Grezes. In nearby Terrasson-Lavilledieu, around 7km away, you'll find the Gardens of the Imagination - a beautiful 13-part landscape installment presenting mankind's transition from nature to city life. Also convenient to Terrasson are restaurants, cafes, a cinema, and supermarket.

Further afield, a day trip to Perigueux is worth your while. This medieval town hosts a daily market where you'll find the delicacies of the Dordogne, most notably foie gras and truffles. Even closer, if you fly in through Brive-la-Gaillarde, stay a while! The locals exude "Gaillarde" - lusty, robust good humour.
