The house is located in the middle of the village of Troche, exactly a thousand kilometres from Amsterdam, in the French Corrèze. On the highest hill of the village and surrounding hilly landscape, and right next to the water tower, lies the majestic house with its attractive garden. Because of its exceptionally high location, there are beautiful views in all directions as far as the eye can see.

Just a few steps away, the village has a bakery and a cosy restaurant.

A small bell tower on the roof and the statue of Mary in the facade give it an authentic and fairy-like appearance. The house is not standard, but has all the comforts you want to spend a relaxing time 'away'.

    Super vakantie hier gehad met twee gezinnen! Echt een aanrader. Zoveel ruimte, luxe en gezellige plekjes om te tafelen en te spelen. Het is zoals op de foto’s en het is een rustige omgeving met mooie natuur, genoeg activiteiten en zwem meren. Aernoud is ook heel fijn in de communicatie. Onwijs bedankt Aernoud!

    Echt prachtig, zowel van binnen als van buiten. Prachtige ruimtes, goed comfort. Rustig gebied, veel te zien en veel te wandelen. Voor een grote familie (we waren met 6 volwassenen, 2 kleine kinderen en twee babies) is het perfect. Als het erg warm is (het was een paar dagen 37-38 graden) is het boven (ondanks gebruik van luiken) ook echt warm en het zou handig zijn als er een paar ventilatoren zouden zijn - maar dat is ook echt het enige verbeterpuntje. Warm aanbevolen!

    Een heel fijn en ruim huis. Alles is aanwezig voor een perfecte en relaxe vakantie. De tuin, de ruimte en de bioscoop zolder zijn fantastisch. Het contact met de eigenaar is snel en goed. Ideaal voor een vakantie met een groot gezin .

Restaurants, food & wine

Troche has one typical French restaurant at 150 metres walking distance from the house and one (fine) bakery that bakes bread on a wood-fired oven. So it can rightly be called a village.

In beautiful Pompadour (7 km.) and in Lubersac (10 km.) you will find everything in abundance. There are large supermarkets including an Intermarche (Pompadour) and a Super-U and Lidl (Lubersac). There is a petrol station in both villages and several small shops. In Pompadour, for example, there is a picturesque village square with a beautiful castle and cosy cafés. There is also an excellent caterer there, for the countless culinary delights the area has to offer (rillettes, truffles, andouilettes, tripes, foie-gras etc.). So with a car on the doorstep, everything is within easy reach.

Further remarks

The house is a former Catholic girls' school. It also housed a small chapel. For decades, girls from the area were taught there, under the inspiring guidance of three nuns who themselves lived on the first floor. The latter took place until the late 1980s. When the last nun left the building, it came 'on the market'. The toilets at the back of the garden immediately recall the atmosphere of yesteryear.
