About the Holiday Home

The courtyard

La Maison de Martel is a finely-restored home in the medieval heart of the village from which it takes its name, in the richly historic Dordogne region. The house faces south and gets plenty of sunlight all day long. Up to six guests can stay in two double bedrooms and one twin bedroom.

The house is built around a cosy, lushly planted courtyard, where guests can dine outdoors. From here, steps lead up to the entrance. Inside, the house is tastefully decorated and richly furnished with antiques and contemporary pieces.

The dining area

Much of the ground floor is taken up with a spacious open-plan kitchen-living-dining area. A pair of sofas and a rocking chair give space to relax with bookshelves, a television with a DVD player, and a stereo.

The fitted modern kitchen is fully equipped and includes an electric stove and burners, a microwave, a dishwasher and a washing machine, and a dining table.

The twin bedroom upstairs

In the spacious and sunny master bedroom, French doors open onto a small balcony. The bathroom is also on this level, and includes a bathtub with a shower, a toilet and a sink.

A winding staircase leads upstairs from the living room to the two bedrooms upstairs under the roofbeams. One has a pair of single beds, and the second has another queen size bed.

About the Area

A medieval courtyard in Martel

The medieval village of Martel is known for its seven towers. Its cobblestoned streets are full of history, with many superb examples of medieval houses, public buildings, and a magnificent 18th century hall on the plaza. During the middle ages, Martel was the administrative capital for the viscount of Turenne, and was occupied by the English for a period during the Hundred Years War.

Martel has a good range of shops and services for all everyday needs, as well as a choice of restaurants and cafés to enjoy the excellent regional cuisine.

About the Region

The old lavabo or washhouse in Martel

Martel lies in the heart of the Dordogne region, and there are many interesting places to visit nearby, including the flawlessly-preserved medieval town of Sarlat; the village of Rocamadour, built on a cliffside and home to a lively artistic scene; and the town of Collonges-la-Rouge, where the buildings are made of a local red stone. The region has many layers of history, going all the way back to the cave paintings in Lascaux and continuing through medieval castles and fortified villages. Many sports and activities are available, including rock climbing, canoeing, and fishing, and there are plenty of good rural trails to explore by foot or on a bike.
