A wonderful holiday farmhouse…

Welcome to Gite Les Roches, a luxury farmhouse fully renovated in 2004. Located in the Dordogne in South West France, the house is on the edge of a Bastide village with panoramic views over a secluded valley, offering five bedrooms, all with ensuite bathrooms, one of which is a self-contained apartment. There is a stunning heated saltwater swimming pool surrounded by a lovely stone-slabbed terrace, which is south facing and fully enclosed by natural rocks and walls – a safe and private, quiet suntrap.

...with an abundance of facilities…

Whilst retaining its natural French rustic charm, it never-the-less boasts every modern convenience. The gite is extremely well-equipped – from a summer kitchen at pool level with outdoor fridge, triple BBQs and copper sink, to sauna, shower, loo and changing facilities. The farmhouse kitchen is a chef’s delight, whilst the book library, Sky TV and video library are just some of the facilities that will entertain all ages and interests. It has been designed for outdoor living and 'al fresco' dining.

The farmhouse kitchen is a chef's delight, with every possible facility for your convenience.

...in a great location…

Nestled in a quiet corner of Fonroque, a small village numbering only three hundred or so, but never-the-less offering a wonderful Boulangerie (bakery) and Epicerie (convenience store), we are in the heart of France’s gastronomic centre of excellence and are well-served by numerous excellent restaurants. And what better accompaniment than the local wine – Fonroque is surrounded by the vineyards and chateaux of the Bergerac wine region, comprising the magnificent appellations controlees of Côtes de Bergerac, Pécharmant, Rosette, Monbazillac, Saussignac and Montravel, and Pécharmant. And with the River Dordogne close by, there are plenty of activities on offer to suit everyone. We are only five minutes from Eymet, complete with excellent restaurants, bars, estate agents and the necessary amenities, and 20 minutes from Bergerac International Airport. Fonroque is ideally positioned being within easy striking distance of Issegeac, Monpazier, Domme, Sarlat, Beynac, Rogue-Gageac, Le Bugue, Castillonnes, Villereal and Beaumont to the east, Bergerac and Perigueux to the north, and St Foy La Grande, St Emilion, Bordeaux, Duras and Castillon-la-Bataille to the west. Monflanquin, Miramont and Villeneuve-sur-Lot are also noteworthy, located to the south.

The village of Fonroque is small and friendly, there is plenty going on - the boulangerie is one of the best in the Dordogne, and epicerie is 'open all hours'. The Dordogne offers something for everyone - beautiful countryside, fabulous medieval towns, and activities to suit all tastes and interests.

Please note that, for the comfort of all our guests, Les Roches is non-smoking inside (although please feel free to smoke on the roof terrace or verandas).

As a holiday home, Les Roches is available from April to October for short-term vacation rental and for a long term let over the winter from November to March, during which time the apartment is available for rent as a flexible let - ideal for house hunting in the Dordogne and Lot-et-Garonne.

The roof terrace offers panoramnic views over the secluded valley - great for nature-spotting.

The heated swimming pool offers privacy, peace and quiet.

The secluded valley - rich with wildlife.
