Lafage is an old stone farmhouse, typical of this part of South West France, at the edge of the village (under 5 min walk from the centre), straight across the valley from the medieval chateau. The house has been sympathetically modernised to retain centuries’ worth of character producing an exceptional french gite. A million miles from a modern 'buy to let' or synthetic holiday village, new and traditional blend to transform the cottage into a comfortable home from home.
The village of Lanquais, (as featured in ‘The Most Beautiful Villages in the Dordogne’) is an ideal base for a villa holiday for exploring South West France. Located in the heart of the Dordogne, (Aquitaine region), it is within easy reach of Sarlat, Perigueux, Lascaux and Souillac. The house is in the Bergerac wine region and is only a short drive from St Emilion in the Bordeaux area. The medieval market town of Issigeac is also nearby.
In a small valley, away from any main roads, you will feel cut off from the outside world and yet be only 15 minutes drive from Bergerac airport, 2 hours from Bordeaux or three from Toulouse (for more transport details click here...)
The village has a small shop, with a fresh bread delivery every morning, and a superb, reasonably priced restaurant 'Les Marronnieres', which also has a friendly bar.. The nearest town is Lalinde, only about 5 min drive.
The large pool (11.5m x 5m with roman steps at one end) is for your exclusive use. The area around the pool is paved for sunbathing, with a patio at the end near the house. The pool area is laid to lawn, at the edge of a field and is not overlooked.
