Superb swimming pool and terrace. Easy access to Sarlat on foot.

We had a fabulous week as a family here at the end of August. The house is very well equipped with a glorious pool, pool table, table tennis, 2x BBQ's etc. And everything you could possibly need inside. 4 really good sized Bedrooms, and enough bathrooms for everybody. It's a very short walk to town (15 mins) allowing you to benefit from the best of the town and what it has to offer, with its lovely local markets, entertainment and bars and restaurants. Further afield you are ideally positioned for local trips to the Dordogne, castles or caves, all of which can be reached in 30-40 mins or less. There are lots of facilities close by, with a large carrefour 5 mins drive to the North and a large E. Leclerc to the South. Communication with the owners was excellent, and they added some lovely little touches to make us feel welcome. The area is absolutely stunning, if you haven't been we would strongly recommend it, we loved the house. Thank you!

Beautiful house with amazing pool overlooking Sarlat . Communication with Sophie was brilliant! She shared so much information . A 10 min walk into Sarlat via a woodland path . The house is a home from home with everything you could need. The welcome basket left for us was so lovely. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home in Sarlat . Would definitely recommend!

My husband and I rented the house for 5 weeks and in all fairness, we noticed the quirks that anyone renting for one week might not even notice. Let me start with the many good things. We arrived to find a bottle of wine, a duck breast and a sausage in the refrigerator; brioche and jam on the kitchen table; and a full “kegorator” (beer on tap). We were very happily surprised at the Jean-Ives’ generosity. The house was very clean and all the linens were on the beds and towels were in each room. The house is large and comfortable. The bathroom on the second floor is beautifully done. The bedrooms are all a good size. The two downstairs bedrooms each have a shower in them. One downstairs bedroom has a sink and vanity with good storage. The washer and dryer are located in the shed by the pool. At one point the dryer died. In less than two days a new dryer was delivered. There is every conceivable “toy” at the house. There is a mini-pool table and ping-pong table on the porch. The heated pool is huge and has a hot and cold shower and fuszeball table on the deck. There are floating toys and plenty of lounge chairs and two large umbrellas. Julian comes to clean the pool and the hot tub every Saturday. We didn’t barbecue (too many good restaurants in town) but there is a gas grill as well as a brick charcoal grill. We spent many evenings sitting at the big patio table with a glass of wine and taking in the gorgeous unobstructed view. We wanted to rent a house with character and this house has just that. However, there are a few suggestions we would make to enhance the rental experience. The driveway washed away in torrential rains before and after we first came, I know Jean-Ives will repair that. There are only two toilets in the house, one upstairs and one downstairs. The loo on the first floor is very, very small but does include a small sink. Another toilet on the first floor would make a huge difference. There is a clean toilet in the shed, which we did use in a pinch. The kitchen is not very functional, no counter space and the stove is old. It is otherwise well-equipped. There are perhaps too many pots and pans, too many plates, and not enough storage. One drawer had no back and a broken bottom. New kitchen cabinets and stove would be perfect. All in all, we had a wonderful stay. Our whole family and some friends came and everyone had a wonderful time.
