Au Bardèche

An imposing 17th Century Country house and private pool

(Sleeps 11) - 5 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms

Situated in the hamlet of St.Pierre sur Dropt not far from Duras, this lovely house is a perfect retreat for those wanting to enjoy rural France.  The Bastide towns of Monsegur, Eymet and Issigeac are within easy drive.

Au Bardèche offers all the home comforts whilst retaining a number of the original features. It has lovely views of the Chateau at Duras and of the rolling countryside with vine covered slopes.  Enjoy a glass of wine under one of the covered terraces or take a walk through the orchard.

"Le Petit Bardeche" may be rented separately or along side Au Bardeche for summer 2010 for those looking for larger accommodation. Web-link with photos and prices to follow.

***************************************

Please note: A property in the hamlet, bordering to the rear of Au Bardeche (the furthest side away  from the pool)  has recently incurred fire damage - work to restore the house started in February.  We are in contact with the owners of the damaged house and we are advised that the roof will be replaced by Easter and all exterior work is due to be finished by early June.  Whilst we are being assured that there won't be any disturbance, we are temporarily offering a 15% discount on all remaining available weeks just in case you might be slightly disturbed during your stay.   We will keep you updated.
