Maison Carsac

Through a wooded pathway a morning stroll into Montfort to fetch the obligatory pastries is the perfect way to start your villa holiday in South West France at this classical setting in the heart of the Perigord Nord region. One of France's most visited towns, nearby Sarlat is not only a myriad of narrow, pretty cobbled streets and architecture charting its medieval and renaissance history, but is also the gastronomic hub of the region, most renowned for its truffles and foie gras.

With idyllic villages such as Domme and Rocamadour within easy reach, and veritable sightseeing spots including the castles at Beynac and Castelnaud and the wonderful Lascaux Caves on the doorstep, the area is ripe for cultural exploration. The Dordogne River which dominates the region is a beacon for canoeists and kayakers who can be spotted from the pool setting at the house, which also sees hot-air balloons passing by at spectacularly close proximity.

A recent renovation of this 'Chartreuse' (charterhouse) building breathed new life into the property, which offers breath-taking views across the river and surrounding countryside. Both pebble and sandy beaches are within a 10-minute drive and with so much variety on offer, a week is barely enough to scratch the surface on this culturally rich region, also a haven for cyclists and hikers. Around the decked pool area, with natural shade provided by the oak trees the pergola-covered seating area is a spot for lazy lunches in a peaceful rural setting, nestled, as you are in seven acres of wooded hillside.

Soft, light furnishings ensure soothing, relaxed interiors which flow from the modern kitchen through the open-plan dining and living room, with direct access on to the upper terrace overlooking the pool. Also offering a woodburner, study area and piano, the ground floor houses the master bedroom, with feature roll-top bath. The remaining 5 bedrooms (all with fans) are set on the first floor, with the basement completing the accommodation, offering table-tennis and a TV room with English Channels.

The above benefits are not offered lightly. Red Savannah clients receive all the advantages and protections listed above, without paying a penny more. And remember, apart from the inability to match-make the right client to the right property, ‘Rental by Owner’ sites could expose the user to fraud. The City of London Police’s National Fraud Intelligence Bureau, report that in 2016, fraudsters stole £7.2 million from 5,826 unsuspecting travellers via online scams. Why risk it?

*Best Price Guarantee applies only at the time of enquiry and before the booking has been confirmed and paid. If you find a cheaper price for exactly the same property on a like for like basis and over identical dates, and where in the sole opinion of Red Savannah, no substantive pricing error has been made or private discount offered, Red Savannah will match the price. This guarantee is valid only when prices are advertised and compared in the same currency. Please note that no further amendments to prices can be made following payment of deposit.
