2 Bedroom Cottage in Berbiguieres, Berbiguières

Berbiguières is a small, picturesque village in the heart of the Perigord Noir. Its houses cluster along the walls of a 15th century chateau. The entire village is classified and protected from commercialization. It is ideally situated for exploring the Dordogne region.
On the main level of the charmingly-restored, 400-year-old, Non-Smoking cottage is the living/dining area with its original open fireplace. The kitchen has all you need for dining in. Downstairs is the main bedroom, together with the bathroom, toilet room, and laundry. Upstairs is a second bedroom with two single beds. The stone terrace and grape arbor are setup for outdoor grilling and dining. Linens are provided. (Note: the stairs to the upper and lower levels are somewhat steep and may not be suitable for infirm people.)
Berbiguières is within easy reach of a rich variety of historic sites, from the pre-historic caves at Lascaux, to nearly 50 restored castles that date from the 100 Years War (1325-1453), to elegant 17th and 18th century chateaux with their lovely formal gardens. Access to the Dordogne for swimming and canoeing is nearby. There are boat tours along the river if you prefer a narrated approach. The hills beckon with excellent hiking opportunities.
The Dordogne region is renowned for its truffles, its foie gras, and its fine cuisine and Bordeaux wines. The vineyards of St. Emillion, Montbazillac, and Cahors are within an hour or two's drive. Outdoor markets rotate daily through local towns, such as Sarlat, St. Cyprien, and Bergerac, if you want to shop for local fare and eat in. Or, dine in one of the many fine restaurants in the area. Visit fortified bastide towns, such as Domme, Belves, and Montpazier, for a sense of medieval history. In summer, there are excellent theater and music festivals to enjoy.
English-speaking neighbors are ready to help you find your way around the cottage, the neighborhood, or the region. This makes the cottage ideal for holiday and vacation rental.

Summary: This is an excellent location from which to explore the area: within a half hour drive to many interesting sites. It was very quiet for sleeping and had a lovely outdoor courtyard to enjoy an evening glass of wine. Not for everyone, as others have noted, with steep stairs to lower level. But that is a trade off for the opportunity to stay in a 400 year old cottage in a great location. We recommend nearby Bistrot d’Epicure and the excellent wine store Julien de Savignac in Le Bugue. Thanks to Ines!

Summary: We had a great time in this beautiful little cottage. It's a bit of a drive but worth it! It's close to many castles and outdoor activities. There were 4 of us and the place for us perfectly. I would recommend it to anyone.

Summary: I discovered Berbiguieres by chance and loved it so much I had to go back. I found the listing and contacted Katherine to make the reservation almost 2 years ahead of time. It was my dream place and I was not let down. The place was a perfect Perigordian cottage. Perfect in every way, the welcome, the ambiance, the convenience, the comfortableness, and the simple beauty of rural France, which to me is infinitely better than the large cities. I would never go to Paris or Province when I can go to Perigord. I am an artist, an Art History and a History buff. This place has everything. The cottage is really special. I recommend it to everyone! And I felt I made a new friend with Katherine who went out of her way to make sure our welcome was impeccable. There was a wonderful terrace and garden, the view over fields and mountains is beautiful, and the amenities like kitchen and bathroom were clean and fully equipped.

Summary: What a fantastic experience we had. The cottage in Berbiguières was just what we needed to get the full experience of the Perigord Noir/Dordogne Region of France. It's centrally located just south of the river and an easy drive to so many charming communities and chateaus throughout the region. Not to mention that Berbiguières itself is a quaint, country community that is full of charm and relaxation. Our entire experience was top notch - from making the reservation with the owner to working with the local property manager. The cottage is well appointed and has everything you need for enjoying your time at the cottage and resting between outings exploring the region. You're greeted by a quaint covered patio just through the gate, situated along the walking path from the center of the village. You open the door and pass through a thick stone wall that transports you to the past with all the creature comforts of the present. A comfortable living room/dining room/kitchen offers the perfect space to plan your daily excursions or to consume your purchases from one of the local public markets. There are two bedrooms - one upstairs and one on the lower level (three stories) that offered us plenty of privacy as we were two couples traveling together. The bathroom included a wonderful shower that worked well for someone taller like me - not to mention great water pressure. All in all, I cannot begin to say enough words of compliments or thanks for such a great experience and stay. The cottage helped make our trip to the Dordogne special, memorable and down right perfect! Thanks for making it available to us - as our travels allow, we'd love to go back. Merci beaucoup!!

Summary: First, what a Nice surprise when we discovered the village : so quiet, beautifull and however, full o Life ! Then, we discovered the cottage, built With the beautifull local stone. Each of the members of the familly found its place and appreciate the decoration. I particularly appreciated the spacious shower ( not so Common in France). In general, this place is comfy and easy to live. Outside There's also a Little Bench carved into a wall, massively appreciated by the kids. The garden enables BBQs and during watering the plants you can make rainbows ! I highly recommend this place for a good stay and would say it is the ideal place to Discover the aera, Lascaux, sarlat la cenada and all kinds of famous other places.

Summary: Our family (2 adults and 2 kids, aged 13 and 15) enjoyed our recent stay in this cottage in Berbiguieres. We felt very privileged to have the opportunity to stay in such a beautiful old village. Our host, Katherine, was very prompt in communicating with us when we were booking the property, and we appreciated that she accepted a shorter booking than usual as we arrived late in the season. Ines, the local who oversees the property, was very friendly and welcoming. The house itself was very comfortable for all of us. The kitchen is small but functional and the living/dining and bedroom areas are a good size. The outdoor courtyard is delightful and great for al fresco dining. The distance from the car park to the property was shorter than I expected from previous reviews, and was not an issue for us. We enjoyed returning to this picturesque, quiet environment every day after our travels. Many thanks to both Katherine and Ines for this unique experience. We also highly recommend spending a day kayaking on the Dordogne - this was a highlight for our family.

Summary: Our time getting to Berbiguieres, including finding it and unlocking the door!!, was an adventure, but once there we were mesmerized with the authenticity of the setting. We felt like we were time-capsuled back to a time of simpler, purer life pleasures. The cottage was well appointed for all basic needs .. the biggest challenge was with the stairs but otherwise, we found it to offer a special, secret, home-away from home. Ines, who oversees the rentals on site, is a warm, very welcoming person who too knows a lot of the history of this very unique village - she was a wonderful source of information and also a very kind host. Great base from which to explore the Dordogne. We absolutely loved the opportunity to partake of this special village and would return in a heartbeat.

Summary: My wife and I and two children (ages 16 and 19) had a great stay here. The cottage is lovely, a comfortable size, well furnished, clean, and quiet - the only sounds are an occasional car, the birds, a rooster, and a braying donkey. The village is very quaint and peaceful. The village is small and we only saw a few people; we were up and gone most days. It is in a great location for accessing many destinations: castles, chateaus, bastides, fortified Romanesque churches, prehistoric caves, medieval cities, wineries, great views, etc. There is no store or Tabac in the village so the breakfast baguette and croissant need to be purchased the day before in St. Cyprien or elsewhere. The temperature was in the upper 70s to low eighties while we were there. The kids said the loft area was fine for sleeping so long as the provided fan was running. Going from the loft to the bathroom in the basement in the dark of the night requires turning on a light or bringing a flashlight or nightlight. The bathroom (sink and shower) are separate from the toilet room, which helps when there are four in the cottage. The parking is not right at the cottage but in the village square about 200 yards/meters away along a pathway at the base of the chateau wall. The village square was not as large as our pre-visit mental picture, but we were able to park fine every day but one, and on that day we parked in the village parking area by the cemetery which is only an extra 200 yards/meters from the square and that worked out fine. The owner is very pleasant and helpful and quickly responded to questions. We highly recommend the rental.

Summary: Our stay at Berbiguieres was an incredible delight. It is tucked protectively beneath a majestic chateau, amidst roses, fragrant honeysuckle, and calla lilies. The cottage is cozy and tidy, with a surprisingly well-appointed kitchen. We were well within traveling distance to many excellent wineries, including those in St. Emilion. We recommend visiting the Chez Claudette Restaurant in Beaumont, a reasonably priced, family owned eatery. The veal chop with morels was quite memorable, and the service friendly despite our lack of expertise in the French language. We loved touring the nearby Chateau Castelnaud and La Noix, a walnut farm where one can sample candied walnuts, as well as walnut cookies, wine, and spirits. The cottage owner is cordial, helpful and prompt in replying to all questions regarding the property. Please note though, that this accommodation will not be appropriate for those who find stairs challenging.

Summary: A perfect place to relax and enjoy the peacefulness of a tiny village, yet be within easy driving distance of cave paintings, village markets, castles and canoe trips on the Dordogne. Very nicely furnished, well-equipped and managed. We highly recommend it!
