Few things sounds more romantic than a cottage situated in the middle of wine country, where the endless vineyards sprawl and birds chirp. Perfect for a long-awaited holiday away from the kids or a getaway for a budding romance, the home is small but its surroundings are vast and baby-blue French shutters are ever-so charming. Escape right out to the private gardens from the pastel bedroom. After days lounging by the pool or drifting in the nearby river, take the bikes to one of two nearby towns to explore gothic churches and to pick up local delicacies like fresh truffles and a bottle (or two) of wine for enjoyment on the stone terrace. Intimacy is the emphasis here, and we can guarantee this home as a perfect start to a French-inspired love story.

On a cliff overlooking the Dordogne River, you'll find a 14th-century castle on beautiful grounds steeped in charm, character and tradition. On top of that, taking the title as one of Europe’s top ten best luxury villas for 2016 by The Telegraph, the chateau boasts scenic French country views for as far as the eye can see. 

Whether you're in the private infinity swimming pool, wandering around the 5 hectares of wooded grounds, or tucking into some local culinary delights and French wine on the patio – this spot offers an awe-inspiring setting from which to relax and enjoy good times. 

If you're looking for a wedding venue or somewhere to hold a special event, look no further, as the picture book setting of the majestic chateau offers an idyllic spot to celebrate with family and friends. With a chapel just a short stroll away in the local village, or space to host a ceremony and reception on-site at the chateau and in the stunning gardens, what more could you ask for? 

Located near the best of the Dordogne and Lot areas, the town of Souillac is only 8 kilometres away and well worth a visit. Meanwhile, the chateau's owner runs a Michelin-starred restaurant nearby – for when you prefer to dine locally.

Doze in the sunshine and let the scent of peonies, magnolias and roses drift over you on a gentle breeze. This idyllic Dordogne home is a haven, set in a valley of rolling countryside. When you’re not stretched out on a sun lounger, you’ll be swimming laps in the solar-heated salt-water pool, and listening to the fountain trickle softly in the background. Tuck into alfresco feasts on the terrace – there’s a barbecue and pizza oven to make cooking as easy as can be. When the sun has set, settle around the fire pit with a bottle of local wine, and sit out late spotting constellations in the clear sky above. 

The house itself is wonderful. The contemporary living space is the heart of the home, with high ceilings and plenty of light. There’s enough room for everyone to gather together here, though there are also peaceful corners for those quieter moments – we love the reading nook. 

In addition to its wonderful charm and beauty, this home is in an excellent location. Hop on bikes to cycle into the village for a coffee and a bite to eat in a cafe-bar, or to shop locally. The Friday morning market in nearby Ribérac is one of the best in the area – head there to pick up local produce for dinner. Aubeterre-sur-Donne, one of France’s prettiest villages, is just a short drive away. There’s so much to see and do here, you’ll want to return time and again.

Fenced Property

La Belle Vie has been around for well over a hundred years. No fakes, no approximations, just old-style charm and the kind of luxury only the nineteenth-century French nobles could conjure up. Mostly furnished with antiques in various states of refurbishment, this chateau is a walk through the history of comfort — perfect for a large family gathering with older children, or a luxurious base to explore the  the world-famous vineyards of the Aquitaine region. Some off you will start your days with a brisk walk around the estate, and some with a proper morning swim in the private pool. There are plenty of spots to socialise both indoors and outdoors, so reconnecting will be easy even when you're not gathering for one of your fancy meals. And if you're travelling with discerning guests, the host is more than happy to organise a variety of extra services that will turn your stay into a proper five-stay experience. Think private chefs, maid service, babysitting, fridge filling, and more.

Nice to haves

Stepping onto the terrace of Le Souhait you’ll feel as though the whole of the Dordogne is at your feet, and you’d be right. This fantasy of a farmhouse is set within seventy acres of a vast walnut orchard with a private pool, a wishing well, and alfresco dining, and it’s a brief drive away from the sunny villages and vineyards of the area. Inside the home, the walls are hung with curiosities, shelves groan with the weight of beautifully bound books, and there seems to be a chandelier in every room. Warm woods, bright colours, and tongue-in-cheek design touches (like the penny farthing bicycle hanging in the hallway) prevent this home from feeling too grand to relax in; it invites you to gather round the farmhouse kitchen table for morning coffee, spend an evening dining on the terrace, or sink into the comfortable queen bed after a long day by the pool. 

Le Souhait

Tennis Court

Desk / Workplace

Perhaps unsurprisingly for a chateau that dates back to the 16th century, there's a real air of grandeur at this address. Perhaps the best example of this can be seen in the dining room, which has parquet flooring, wood-panelled walls and a truly monumental 17th-century fireplace. The Beupoil family wallpaper in the living room wouldn't be of place in a museum, while the mosaic-tiled bathrooms are fit for a Roman Emporer, too.

The home's forty acres of private grounds are just as impressive as the lavish interior. Not only are there wonderful views of the Isle River Valley and the woods of Antoniac, but there's also a private swimming pool from which you can admire this rustic vista. Add to that an outdoor games area with tables for ping-pong and pool, plus a barbecue, and you've got everything you need for a stretch of alfresco living.

In the local area, the edge of Parc Naturel Régional Périgord-Limousin takes a quarter of an hour to reach in the car and offers no shortage of beautiful French countryside to wander through. The town of Perigueux is a five-minute drive away too and rewards visitors with a collection of fantastic restaurants, plus a twice-weekly outdoor market.

Wine Cellar

Nestled inside its very own vineyard, this luxurious château will be a favourite for wine-lovers and francophiles alike. The regal honey-coloured exterior, with its purple adornment of wisteria, dazzles immediately as you enter the grounds. Inside, the home has been lovingly restored and the rooms are light and spacious. Modern touches and elegant furnishings blend with classical remnants. We especially love the claw foot bath, which will make for a dramatic soak. However, the standout feature of this home is its idyllic surroundings. Watch from your window the workings of the organic, bio-dynamic vineyard and sample the well-known Saint-Émilion Grand Cru. This Chateau provides a perfect base to explore this captivating region. Saint-Émilion is situated just three kilometres away with its golden-cobbled streets providing a delightful maze to get lost in. If you’re craving the hustle and bustle of a more well-renowned city, Bordeaux can be reached via the coast in a little over an hour. 

Grand Cru Wine

As featured on Channel 4’s ‘Escape to the Chateau', this 12th-century castle once saw involvement in the Hundred Years' War, but now offers a storybook retreat. You'll be touching centuries of history as you brush past stone walls and walk spiral staircases. Imagine rolling out of a four-poster bed and admiring the valley views from a former lookout, then curling up in the lounge to learn some French phrases.

Sip cafe au lait before hopping in the plunge pool on summer days. To forget all about your medieval surroundings, rustle up a barbecue dinner and take photos beneath the wisteria. Alternatively, why not hire a private chef to cook a feast fit for a king? In the atmospheric dining room, you'll saunter atop chestnut floors and break bread with your loved ones beside a grand fireplace.

Perched above a vegetable farm, you can stock the kitchen with fresh produce at the weekly village market. Furthermore, this superb home sits within driving distance of several landmarks, including the Château de Beynac – an old stronghold of Richard the Lionheart. From canoeing along the Dordogne river to picnicking in the nearby forest, there's plenty to do in the countryside.

If you're after an authentic stay in a historic French castle, look no further –this home offers the ultimate luxury French chateau experience. With carved, painted and stencilled wooden ceilings, uniquely themed bedrooms and even an original medieval chandelier in the period dining room, the building feels rich in history and exquisite in taste. That's not to say that it's old fashioned; the wellness centre (which includes a gym and yoga deck), sound system in the grand library, and air conditioning in each bedroom adds a modern touch. There are 32 hectares of grounds to explore, which include ancient woodland, valleys and even the ruins of a 12th Century church. All this, and the nearest village is only fifteen minutes away on foot.

This chateau was in the same family from the 17th century to 1980 and then acquired by the current host in the last 12 months. A stay here will quickly reveal why they are probably so reluctant to let it slip out of their grasp.

The perks start before you even reach the home itself. Fifteen acres of well-kempt grounds feature everything from a wildflower meadow and orchards to a private lake surrounded by woodland paths. A little closer to the property, there's a swimming pool to cool off during the summer months, an outdoor kitchen with a firepit, plus alfresco tables on the terrace with scenic views of the local valley.

Behind the home's front door, guests are treated to three floors of lavish living space with a wealth of antique furnishings, grand chandeliers and cosy fireplaces. However, despite this historic appearance, a recent renovation has brought the chateau up to 21st-century standards, including an updated kitchen. There are also a lot of games and activities to keep youngsters entertained, from the slate-based pool table to a cinema room.

Travelling in a larger group? The grange is available upon request for a fee and can accommodate an additional four guests, bringing the total occupancy up to eighteen.

While there's certainly a sense of seclusion at the address, the market town of Thivers is only one kilometre away when you need shops or restaurants. Throughout the surrounding area, it's possible to fill days with visits to castles, wine tastings or outdoor activities. 

It Runs in the Family

This beautifully converted mid-nineteenth century mill house bordering the Auvezere river is perfect for those seeking a relaxing retreat in the French countryside, as well as those wishing to delve into local village life. The minute you arrive at Bucolic Beauty, you’ll feel right at home thanks to its beautiful and personal touches. During cooler months, the cosy sitting room is great for hunkering by the fire, while the outdoor terraced dining area and swimming pool make alfresco living a breeze during summer days. Little ones will particularly enjoy the large games barn that comes complete with table tennis and plenty of space to roam around. A lovely home like this requires excellent service to match: your very own housekeeper will be on hand to cater to your every need and give you an opportunity to practice your French!

Bucolic Beauty

This fully restored castle in the Dordogne manages to merge the modern with the ancient. The stone foundations may date back as early as the 5th-century, but the interior is dotted with modern art and all the little luxuries of modern life. There's over 15 hectares of land to explore, with a swimming pool, terraces, and a barbecue area for al fresco dining. The castle backs on to the vineyards of Bergerac, so you're never too far from a glass of locally produced wine. Should the weather turn, the games room with a billiards table and library with floor-to-ceiling bookshelves provide quality indoor entertainment.

Built in 1611, this elegant chateau is where historic grandeur meets contemporary luxury. Arriving to Le Roi through the classical iron gates, you’ll feel like royalty. With the option to dine under a magnificent chandelier with food prepared by your very own private chef in the gastronomical centre of France, this home is a real life fairy-tale. And with stunning grounds to explore and panoramic views of the French countryside, it’s certainly not short of space to relax and unwind. If you’re looking for that je-ne-sais-quoi, Le Roi has it all.

By sympathetically restoring this 17th-century chateau, this home strikes a beautiful balance between old and new. Find retro checkerboard floors next to modern farm-style appliances, and exposed beams and chandeliers sitting in sharp contrast with modern bathrooms. There is a beautiful harmony in all of the design choices and this sort of careful curation and attention to detail is a true credit to the host. 

Take advantage of the beautiful Aga and cook breakfast for everyone to enjoy alfresco. Of course, if you’d really like to live a life of luxury, you can arrange to have a private chef prepare meals that you can either savour in the striking dining room or out on the terrace. 

Bookworms will love the quiet of the library and office space where they can pass hours reading their favourite books or selecting something new off the shelves here. Others might find themselves entertained in the games room where they can shoot a few rounds of billiards whilst everyone else gathers in and around the private pool. 

With 32 acres at your disposal, walk the grounds in search of the many brooks, canals and ponds. You might even pack a thermos and some macaroons which you can sit down to devour once you’ve found the perfect spot. 

Spend sunny mornings, lazy afternoons, and starlit evenings appreciating all the beauty and tranquillity on offer at this home. Retire to one of the amazing bedrooms when you’re ready, but not before treating yourself to a bubble bath in the rolltop tub.

Begonia Pink & Periwinkle

Situated on its very own 1km stretch of the Dordogne river is this home with warm stone interiors and impressive outdoor living areas lined by wisteria trees. Perfect for the family or multiple couples looking to relax and enjoy the surrounding regions, mornings by the pool will turn to afternoons on the riverfront reached by wandering through walnut groves. For those feeling sporty, there is a private tennis court on the property. If you do want to leave home, take the kids horseback riding or escape for some romance to a vineyard and stop in the local village on the way home. Pitch up some local truffle to enjoy with your bottle of Bergerac on the dining terrace. Don’t forget to add your very own home-grown walnuts to the spread. 

Happy River

In the heart of the Limousin-Perigord National Park, this home exudes all the rustic charm of an old farmhouse. The building dates back to the 17th century, evident in its honey-brown stone facade and white-wash shutters. The lush garden is home to towering, ancient trees, offering plenty of privacy, especially if you want to spend day lounging by the poolside in the sun. There’s a hammock for a quiet siesta and dining beneath the wrought-iron gazebo. From here, the only soundtrack to your holiday is the cheep of blue and great tits. Pathways lead across the seven acres of grounds to hidden benches and shaded spots between the trees – you may even spot the resident green woodpecker nesting in the sweet chestnut tree. 

Inside, it’s a picture of lavish yet rustic charm, with a wood-burning stove in the master bedroom for chilly evenings, original fireplaces and a big farmhouse-style table at the centre of the kitchen. This home has been lovingly restored, with the old features like wood beams and terracotta floors still on display. In the grand living room, you’ll find an antique dresser stacked with books and a fireplace for cosy evenings in. While the kitchen is vast and boasts a pretty stove in the old hearth. 

You could spend all your days spotting wildlife and lounging by the pool. But if you do fancy a day trip, Limoges is a forty-five-minute drive and the pretty medieval town of Périgueux is a fifty-minute drive in the other direction.

This charming villa is located in the Charente region and boasts five bedrooms with stunning panoramic views of the surrounding fields. The property is a beautifully renovated former barn that offers a pleasantly heated swimming pool, a bowling alley, and ample outdoor seating areas. The swimming pool measures 12 x 5 m and has Roman steps, while the terrace features eight sunbeds and a parasol. Additionally, there is a veranda by the living room where guests can enjoy some shade. Inside, there is a spacious kitchen with a five-burner cooker, two ovens, a microwave, dishwasher, and two refrigerators. The large living room features a long wooden dining table with ten chairs, three large sofas by the fireplace, and an internet connection. Guests can enjoy playing snooker or table football on the upper level of the living room. The villa also provides tenants with bicycles to explore the area, along with a table tennis table and volleyball net to place over the width of the pool.

This stunning converted farmhouse sits within a vineyard in the beautiful countryside surrounding Bordeaux. It’s a few minutes from the historic village of Saint-Émilion, and it overlooks idyllic Saint-Christophe-des-Bardes and the area’s lush valleys. Here, you can look forward to the comforts of a boutique hotel with total privacy. Outside, you’ll find a delightful swimming pool and an alfresco dining space, while inside the decor is dominated by old stone and wood – it’s rustic yet refined. We love the country-style kitchen, and the breakfasts prepared each day by the chef. 

The French House

Driving up to this 18th-century chateau in the Bergerac region of France might invoke a sense of actually travelling back in time. And if driving in through wrought-iron gates and past decorative moats doesn’t do it, the interior of this beautiful home just might. Between exposed beams, historical fireplaces, rough-stone walls, chandeliers, and a spiral staircase made of stone, you might get lost in the idea that you’re actually living like royalty. Which is exactly the type of attitude we encourage – take it a step further by having high tea out on the terrace, curling up on the period furniture with a classic novel after you’ve kindled a fire, or walking around the 30-hectare estate of woods and meadow in search of the perfect spot for tea and macarons. 

With plenty of space on offer, everyone is sure to find a nook that serves them just right and you might find yours in one of the palatial bedrooms or in a secluded spot in the garden where you can sit down at the bistro table with a glass of wine. 

Come together in and around the pool where you can dangle your feet into the crystal clear water or make use of one of the sunloungers. With seclusion comes peace and tranquillity and this home makes enjoying that environment to the fullest, easy – offering you every opportunity to spend lazy, sun-filled days in whichever way would make you the happiest. If that means exploring, then you can venture to beautifully restored towns such as Sarlat, Bergerac or Périgueux, and if it means golfing, you’d be happy to find a course minutes away.

Owned by two sisters with five children between them, it's fair to say your hosts know a thing or two about creating a family-friendly getaway. With its generous layout, relaxed atmosphere and wide selection of outdoor spaces – including a heated pool, three acres of fenced garden, swings and a well-equipped games room – for those who like the idea of letting their children roam free, this six-bedroom home could be a perfect choice.

Inside, you'll uncover an abundance of French rustic charm, with plenty of period features. Grand fireplaces, sparkling chandeliers and gnarled beams sit untouched since the home's halcyon days as a winemaking chateau. Split across the ground and first floors, there are six king-size bedrooms with four en-suite bathrooms and one large family bathroom with an inviting freestanding tub.

Despite the feeling of privacy and seclusion, the property is very accessible – just ten minutes from Saint-Émilion and well within an hour of Bordeaux and its airport. We'd suggest carving out some time for yourself to enjoy a distinctly French day out wine tasting at the countless vineyards within a short drive of the property, or booking a tee time at one of the nearby eighteen-hole golf courses.

When stocking up on essentials, there's practically a food market every day of the week, so you can steer clear of the supermachés and shop the way the locals do. And if all that poolside relaxing has drained you of any desire to cook, your hosts can help organise a private chef. Alternatively, there are plenty of top-notch restaurants within a short drive.


Dust on the Bottle

When in France, it might feel like a cliché to stay in a château with six hectares of land in your kingdom. Well, we say long live clichés. This original 18th-century mansion is just a fifteen-minute walk from the medieval town of Dignac, where you can browse the market or stop in for a pastis. But your private estate offers plenty of reasons for you to stay put.

You’ve got panoramic vistas of the Aquitaine countryside to satisfy your appetite for the natural world, and striking architecture for you to marvel at man made wonder. The cream walls of the exterior stand out among the thick forests of the estate. Its grey pointed rooftops and turrets cast an imposing shadow onto your pool terrace. Dine alfresco on a balmy evening, or follow the steps up past an elegant balustrade to enter the home.

Original in every sense of the word, the entrance boasts vaulted ceilings, an oak staircase, and corniced ceilings. While tradition dominates the decor, we love the modern twists – wood-panelled walls painted pale blue and an inglenook used as a cavity for the hob. Not that you need to cook often, with a private chef on hand whenever you fancy.

Le Garde Forestier

This charming Dordogne farmhouse sits above a watermill in a little hamlet near the Dronne river – a truly tranquil countryside escape. It's just a short walk from the village of Bourdeilles with its handful of cafés and bistros, medieval castle, and bustling Sunday market. The restored farmhouse has its very own private pool, outdoor seating and barbecue that's perfect for alfresco lunches. The master bedroom even comes with its own private balcony overlooking it all. Ready to explore the Dordogne? Hop in the car and visit some of the historic towns and villages, or borrow the farmhouse's four bikes for a leisurely tour of the countryside.
