La Colombiere

3 properties in a spacious complex comprising 10 bedrooms - sleeping up to 27

3 bathrooms and 6 shower rooms

La Colombiere is an old farmhouse situated 15km south of Bergerac in the Dordogne.   The property is full of character with thick old stonewalls & exposed beams and has been lovingly restored to give spacious, comfortable accommodation for parties up to 26 people (no bunk beds, no bed settees) . It is set in 17 acres of grounds in a small farming community and has the advantage of being peaceful and tranquil but also near to local amenities and facilities. In fact there is as little or as much as one wants to do making it an ideal location for a family holiday.

The beauty of this area is the diversity of attractions and things to do and see. Of course there is the French cuisine to suit all tastes and pockets, the fine wines with numerous free wine tasting locations. The very many chateaux are a must for those with historical interest as are the Bastide towns that are famous in our area. If its taking in the French ambiance that attracts you, our nearest small town of Eymet is ideal. In the centre of this Bastide town you will find a delightful square full of restaurants, shops and bars where, as well as the tourists, the locals spend many hours watching the world go by. Also we have three excellent golf courses nearby (Les Vigiers 10 mins), canoeing on the River Dropt and several tennis courts only minutes away. However, if it’s shopping and activity you are looking for Bergerac is our nearest large town (20 minutes away) which is also a definite must for visitors. Bergerac has everything to offer with an aqua park, ten-pin bowling, go carting etc., Its new part is vibrant, colourful and busy with shops of every description. The old majestic buildings tower above their shoppers and there is a magnificent fountain in front of the Palais du Justice.
In contrast the old town with its cobbled streets, ancient, tilting buildings has an ambiance which will charm all who care to meander leisurely. There are restaurants at every turn to suit every taste and the River Dordogne is just a two-minute walk. Whether you enter Bergerac over the old bridge or the new bridge you will be so pleased you visited this old, old town.
