The property is in a great situation, near a lovely town but in a rural location with a fantastic open aspect from the pool area. There are a handful of houses in the hamlet of Le Borie and the local road runs past the property but it is all very sedate. The property is 1.5-2 miles from the town of Tocane -Saint-Apre where there is a small supermarket, an excellent bakery (Boulangerie), a cafe/bar and a superb bistro called Cafe Rouge. Although the property felt very private for us, it is in the grounds of another larger property and if this was occupied by owners or guests it would definitely not feel the same. The property has a rural, rustic character and has been tastefully converted I would say some 10-15 years ago plus has had a deep and generous pool added to it's grounds. Here ends the good news.... Unfortunately, the property feels tired and is in need of some TLC. On arrival I had to cut back some vines to gain access to the property and the front door patio area was overgrown and unusable until I again cut things back. The path to the pool area was a sea of rotting cherries from the tree, again I cleared a path. Inside, the property was full of spiders webs and didn't feel particularly clean, so we had an hour or so of cleaning to do. The bed was odorous and grubby, there was no washable topper on the bed so I imagine it was infused with years of sweat etc. The fridge was turned off on arrival and does not contain a freezer compartment, no ice with a G&T on an evening then, plus the food we bought en-route spoiled. I have never stayed anywhere, in my 20 plus years of going to France, that didn't have at least a small freezer compartment! As for the lovely deep pool, watch your feet, the decking at the pool steps is rotten with several nail heads sticking up. Plus the pool soon started growing green algae at a rate of knots and on testing the water the pool had very little disinfectant / chlorine in it plus a low pH level. My wife suffered upset stomachs and I gained an ear infection we believe both came from the pool. As I have had previous experience with pools, I cleaned the pool and got the levels correct to make the pool safe. The local lady who looks after the property for the owners, told me off for doing this but her idea of cleaning the pool was to put the "robot" in for 30 mins mid-week. On the note of mid-week, don't expect a towel / bedding change.

We have just enjoyed an enjoyable, relaxing week at this charming and characterful gite. We travelled as a couple, and although the gite is small, it had everything we needed to make the week perfect. We spent a lot of time in and around the pool during the day and made plenty of use of the bbq and outdoor seating on an evening. We do unfortunately rely on the internet on our holidays so was pleased to find the wifi signal to be fairly reliable despite the rural location. The gite is off a quiet country road and is completely private, however there are some other properties close by to avoid feeling totally isolated. The village of Tocane Saint Apre is only about 3km away, and has everything you might need including a boulangerie, boucherie and Intermarche supermarket. I would also recommend the bistro Rouge in the village for a delicious lunch at a reasonable price.
Thanks also to Karen for the loan of her bikes during our visit - it was a lovely way to collect our baguettes from the village, but also to explore the local area. This gite is perfect for any couple just needing 1 bedroom, but would still like to have the outdoor facilities of a larger property.
The property offers a beautiful house with an amazing swimming pool, perfect for exploration. Clean, comfortable, with great outdoor seating areas and fantastic views. Ideal for a peaceful getaway!

Boulangerie de Providence is ideally situated on the border of the Perigord Blanc and Vert, in a small hamlet just 3km from the pretty French village of Tocane Saint Apre which is only a 2min drive or a 30min stroll away. It has the most fantastic outlook onto sunflower fields and has a beautiful swimming pool with terraced area for those hot sunny days. Whilst you can enjoy the tranquillity of the peaceful location you are still within driving distance of some of the Dordogne's most appealing places to visit. If you are looking for somewhere special to stay then you've just found it!
