Vineyards and Valleys: A French Hide-In

Tucked within the stunning Domaine d'Essendiéras in the heart of the Dordogne, this beautifully restored Périgord-style cottage offers the perfect blend of French countryside charm and modern leisure. Surrounded by rolling hills, ancient forests, and a serene private garden, guests can unwind in the heated, fenced swimming pool or enjoy leisurely afternoons on the sunny terrace with a barbecue and lounge seating. Children will love the shared trampoline and play equipment, while adults can take advantage of the tennis and boules courts, or relax in the cozy living space by the fireplace.

Families will appreciate thoughtful additions like a high chair and children’s bed (on request), making it a welcoming stay for all ages. Bicycles are also available to explore the domain and its scenic surroundings. For those traveling with pets, there’s plenty of space to roam, and local attractions like Les Grottes de Presque even welcome leashed dogs for underground cave tours.

The region is rich in heritage, with iconic sites like the prehistoric Lascaux Caves, Château de Hautefort, and the charming towns of Sarlat, Brantôme, and Périgueux all within reach. Wine and gastronomy lovers can indulge in regional delicacies such as truffles and foie gras at local markets, or dine at nearby favorites like Le Rustic in Excideuil or Auberge de la Truffe in Sorges for authentic Périgord flavors.
Whether you're soaking up the Dordogne sunshine by the pool, exploring medieval castles, or savoring wine under the stars, this peaceful cottage offers an unforgettable escape into the heart of southwest France.
