It is situated in a charming little French village, called Bussiere Badil, which is part of the nature parc Perigord-Limousine and settled in between the green, blooming hills and valleys of the Dordogne.
We have named our holidayhouses, the gites, “gite Syrah” and “gite Merlot” . These gites are made to offer lots of comfort,
freedom and space to enjoy a good holiday and a bit of the French way of life.
Each morning can start with a fresh croissant…The “boulangerie” (the bakery) is less then 5 minutes walk-
A bottle of wine is ready for you when you arrive. Have a seat on the terrace in the sun and enjoy!
The gites, the holiday houses, are located on the edge of the village in a domain of about 11.000 m2 with green lawns, lots of trees and flowers.
A driveway with big chestnut trees on each side leads to the gites, roses are growing alongside the old garden walls, various trees providing delicious fruits. When they are ready you’re free to take them and taste them. Dining on the terrace outside or on the green lawn, lighting up the barbecue, enjoying a glass of wine and some special French cheeses while watching the sunset….It’s all there to enjoy! The cheerful sound of the birds, or by night, the owls are creating the right “background music”.
A refreshing splash in the small pool is possible whenever you feel like it.
There are sun beds next to the pool to relax.
Wifi is available.
