About the Holiday Home

The swimming pool

La Chartreuse de Marcousin was founded in the 11th Century, but the main building is an entirely refurbished 17th century 'Chartreuse'-style mansion, which has been granted the "Bâtiments de France" label - a distinction reserved for the finest buildings in the country. Up to 8 guests can sleep in one house, and 4 in the other, with room for a party of up to 12 renting both houses together.

La Chartreuse de Marcousin is located on a hill in a peaceful and picturesque 14 hectare (35 acre) estate with a 13 x 5m swimming pool. With no automobile traffic around, the only sound to be heard is birds singing.

The roofed terrace of La Vallée

There are two houses available for rent on the property. La Vallée acccommodates eight guests comfortably in four bedrooms, while l'Orient sleeps four in two bedrooms.

Each house has a fully equipped kitchen and a living room with sofas and an open fireplace. The houses are full of traditional features, with exposed stone walls, wooden beams in the ceilings, and chestnut or tiled flooring.

Special features:	• Pool on the property • Bilingual assistance available on site • Maid, Cook and Driver can be arranged on request
Swimming pool:	13m x 5m

About the Area

The view from La Vallée

La Chartreuse de Marcousin is located in a sunny Périgord in the neighbourhood of Belvès, which is classified officially as "one of the most beautiful villages in France". Grocery stores and all sorts of services are available within a ten minute drive. There are open markets almost every day in one of the surrounding villages. The region offers some of the best food in France, with plenty of romantic and famous restaurants. It is about one hour's drive to Saint-Emilion, one of the most famous Bordeaux vineyards.

The nearby Dordogne river

There is a golf course five minutes away, with special arrangements for our guests. Visitors can also ride horses, or paddle down the Dordogne river starting from the foot of a beautiful medieval castle (Beynac). There are many music festivals in the summer. La Chartreuse de Marcousin is close to the main attractions of the area. Sarlat, a picturesque medieval town, is 25 minutes away. You can reach some of the most famous tourist sites, such as Rocamadour, in less than two hours.

About the Region

The château and village of Castelnaud

Dordogne is one of the most beautiful places in France and a perfect holiday location. It is a land of tradition, with a rich historical past, including a great legacy from the Hundred Years War in the 13th century.

The medieval heritage is everywhere, with an incredible number of castles, old villages and Romanesque churches throughout the region.

The medieval fortified town of Domme

It has also been one of the world's most important areas for prehistoric archaeology. Lascaux, with its breathtaking cave paintings, is about an hour away by car.

It is a place of excellent food and wines, with romantic restaurants and colourful open markets almost every day.
