Regional Information
This outstanding 17th century villa is reached by it's own tree-lined private driveway, and is located in the beautiful Dordogne countryside. Take a relaxing holiday in your own private villa with its superb pool in this delightful part of France.

Chez Denis sits in its own private grounds of 5 acres located on the edge of a small village. There are rolling hills and woods all around. Both the house and gite have been restored to provide every modern comfort, while retaining all the charm of the original stonework, wood beamed ceilings and stone floors.

Relax in this beautiful setting in the rolling Dordogne countryside. Enjoy the top class food at local restaurants, canoe down the River Dronne, or visit the many interesting attractions and picturesque villages.

The Dordogne is an enchantingly attractive region of south west France, offering all kinds of sights and attractions.

There are spectacular caves and pre-historic cave paintings. There are outstandingly picturesque and quaint villages and amazing rock formations.

The river Dordogne itself offers some of the most beautiful scenery in France, but the Dordogne is only one of several attractive rivers in the region.

The River Dronne, which runs through Brantôme and Bourdeilles is also a very attractive and picturesque river.
