Peace, Tranquility and Calm - the perfect holiday destination
Traditional Perigord farmhouse in the heart of the Dordogne, close to all the main attractions. With everything you need, the location is an oasis of tranquility. The house is fully equipped and has air-conditioning, which was a welcome addition during August making sleeping comfortable. The landscaped grounds are fabulous, with swimming pool, children’s play equipment and plenty of furniture and sun loungers to relax both in and out of the sun. It’s the perfect entertaining space, with two covered terraces and large dining tables. We loved the opportunity to relax with a large family group (good WiFi to keep the kids connected), using it as a base to explore all the wonderful local towns and villages (Belves, Sarlat, Monpazier, Chateau des Milandes, canoeing at Castelnaud, Beynac, La Roque-Gageac, Domme and many more). Don’t forget Airparc Perigord - a full days entertainment and the kids loved it. If you’re a wine lover, all the wines of Cahors are close by. And if you’re a radio ham, a great open space for your portable HF antennas!!!
We loved Lortal and hope one day to return - all you need for the perfect family holiday.

Fantastic traditional french property with a great pool and a large garden.
We recently had a fantastic two week holiday at Lortal and Petite Lortal with our with our extended family. Brilliant house in a beautiful setting, with a great swimming pool which can be used by the whole family. Perfect location and a short drive to the nearby picturesque town of Belves. Lots to see and do in the area, with numerous chateaux and gardens all within a short drive. The property is extremely well equipped with everything you could need. Would highly recommend this property for a family holiday, we all look forward to returning soon!
Restaurants, food & wine
Almost everywhere you will find restaurants that can satisfy all expectations with elaborate menus and local wines. We especially recommend trying the menu du jour at lunch; it is unbeatable value for money and almost universally delicious. Within an hour's drive are the vineyards of Bergerac or Cahors, where it is possible to taste some of the wines.
Also try to eat at one of the evening markets, the "marché nocturne". Many villages have their own food market on different evenings. This is a special experience and will certainly be worth repeating. Bring your own plate and glass (or hire one locally), walk along the many stalls and buy some food and drink and then sit down next to the French on the long rows of benches and tables. One of the best and most extensive is in nearby Belves.
