This sweet house was situated perfectly for exploring the Dordogne valley. Nothing was further than 30 minutes and those minutes were pittoresque. The sky and water views are breathtaking. The local bistrot (La petite tonnerre) welcoming and delicious.
We absolutely loved our stay at La Petite Maison. The house is very well appointed and is ideally situated for exploring not only the beautiful village of Beynac but also the surrounding area.
Vincent goes above and beyond and Martine was a delight to meet.
We would happily recommend a stay here and thoroughly look forward to returning one day soon.
The house is tucked into the hillside in the perfect location to launch your adventures in the Périgord region. The village is wonderful to wander through and was not far from many other sites and activities and we wanted to see. One of our favorite activities was relaxing in the evening on the little patio with a nice white wine or rosé at the end of the day
Everything about our stay at La Petite Maison was perfect. The house itself was charming, beautifully maintained, and felt like stepping into a dream. Waking up each day in such a picturesque setting was pure magic. The weather was fantastic during our visit, making it easy to enjoy the stunning views and peaceful surroundings. The area hiking is extraordinary - we highly recommend the hike from Beynac to La Roque - Gaga. We couldn’t have asked for a better home base in Beynac—truly an unforgettable week!
Both Vincent and Andrea were extremely responsive. Martine welcomed us with open arms (literally!). She was so helpful, friendly, and full of joy! The home is fabulous! Beautiful, comfortable, and well stocked. The location is perfectly situated on a quaint street close to everything. We can’t wait to come back!
This house & Beynac are phenomenal! Host quickly responds to all emails and house staff Martine & Andrea are just great. Both helpful & informative. Martine even let us park in her driveway to avoid the parking lot. Both recommendations they gave us were perfect: La Petite Tonnelle - great restaurant steps from the house, and Sarissa at Taxi & Touring a la Carte provided us with a local winery tour that was educational & enjoyable! Cannot wait to return to Beynac!
This is the most amazing house we have ever stayed in on all of our travels! We had read the description but it goes beyond the feeling you have when you’re actually in it! The home was meticulous plus you are able to feel the age of it while the added modern features make it very comfortable. Communications with the host were many and very helpful and Andrea and Maritine were always eager to help us! The village of Beynac doesn’t even seem real! Our trip to Beynac and living in this incredible house have made our trip to France unforgettable! We had wished we would have made our trip longer as our accommodations were just unbelievable! We’re so happy to have had this experience!!!!
I saw a picture of Le Petite Maison 8 years ago and loved it. I have painted it several times.
When my brother was on hospice a photo of the house came up on my phone. And I promised him I would go. It was spiritual and magical at the same time🌹. Wonderful village and people.
This is just a lovely property! Such character! Beynac is a lovely picturesque town and conveniently located to lots of sites. Owner has left very detailed instructions and suggestions for things to do. Also the welcome basket was very much appreciated the first morning! Parking is just a few minutes walk, and was convenient. Small grocery store, bakery, butcher, and restaurants all withing walking distance. AC, washer/dryer, dishwasher all appreciated. We ate outside on the little front porch and enjoyed music from the neighboring restaurant. Also met owner walking by as we ate dinner! Property manager very helpful. All in all a lovely stay, and highly recommended.
La Petite Maison is a comfortable, well-equipped cottage located in a charming village. As described, there are two master bedrooms with ensuites, one of which is located on the top floor and the other on the bottom floor (i.e., two floors apart). We were two couples so this was ideal; however, I would caution that there are fairly steep, slippery staircases to access the bedrooms, which could prove problematic for anyone with mobility issues. The kitchen was extremely well-equipped for a holiday rental (one of the best we’ve stayed in). There is an American-style drip coffee makers but one recommendation would be to include a French coffee press. The village itself is small and quiet and ideally situated for exploring the area. All-in-all a lovely stay!
A wonderful old house in a superb area. Check in easy. The local contact, Martine, superb. It was a great place for us to visit the Dordogne. We will return!

Wonderful La Petite Maison!
My husband and I celebrated our 39th wedding anniversary while staying in this romantic little cottage! It was heaven. The house is so pretty and well maintained that many people stopped and took pictures as they walked by. The town is beautiful, with lots to see and the people friendly. There are many places to visit near by, so it is the perfect base to tour the Dordogne area. The owners made us feel so welcome, and their local representatives were great!
We highly recommend La Petite Maison to anyone who wants a clean, well maintained, beautiful place to stay in the Dordogne area.
The house is charming and surprisingly updated, with things such as a combo stovetop, oven and dishwasher. The village is really cute and is a perfect base to drive through Dordogne. Communication with the owners was very straightforward, and the check in process was relatively easy with their housekeeper (though she only speaks French, so be prepared for that). Although the house worked really well for us, and we would gladly stay there again, I would warn people that the walk up to the house is a little steep, and there are tight, spiral stairs in the house that would make it difficult for anyone with mobility issues.
There is a lovely outside area that would be perfect for sitting out and watching people go by, when the weather is nice. For us, though, the weather was rainy and cool, so after a day of touring around, we loved coming back to such a cozy house with a comfy living room.
Would gladly recommend this to anyone who does not have mobility issues.
We loved our wonderful stay in Beynac at La Petite Maison! Both the village and the house (and the whole area!) were utterly charming! And we appreciated the most generous welcome basket we have ever seen! We arrived quite late, and everything was closed, so we devoured a lot of it as our dinner.
The whole area around Beynac is filled with gorgeous scenery, medieval castles and villages, gardens and stunning views of the Dordogne River. The cobblestone path to the Beynac Castle is a steep uphill climb, but worth it! The house itself also requires steep climbing up narrow steps from the living area to the bedrooms…also worth it!
We enjoyed many meals on the terrace, and we could see the envy in the eyes of people walking by us! This was the first time that we ever saw a stove, oven and DISHWASHER all in one! The oven and dishwasher are half-sized, but they worked fine for us.
Staying in this medieval home was just great!
La Petite Maison My favorite stay in the south of France. What a charming cottage in a quaint village. Everything as pictured & more. It’s a fairytale cottage to stay in. Perfect location. Everything you need with beautiful furniture, fabulous kitchen. Beds so comfy & beautiful. Love the windows especially the one in the kitchen that opens to the private patio. Highlight to sit on the patio eat & enjoy the visitors passing by to & from the Castle. Everyone loves the corner cottage. The town is so beautiful & welcoming with lots to explore. We enjoyed everything about Beynac. The castle is fabulous & the journey along the way with shops & restaurants. We took a canoe down the river my first & so fun. Next time I’ll bring a picnic as you can stop along the way. Vincent is excellent in communication super nice & helpful. With an amazing welcoming basket from the local market. All information about the stay in the cottage is emailed & manual that is very detailed & so helpful. Martine the housekeeper beyond Superb. Sweet warm hearted & thoughtful. We saw her many times during our stay. Always with a smile & hard working that girl. Christoph Taxi service recommend by Vincent the best ever taxi service I’ve e had. I highly recommend he is quick to respond, super friendly, kind heart & welcoming. He has many suggestions & covers a large area also with tours. If not available he has many other referrals. But you’ll want him first if available every time. Eric & family at the local market is another gem. I didn’t want to leave I loved it here so much. Hope to make this my Summer vaca every year. Thanks for letting us stay in your magical home. Merci Beaucoup Vincent
Très bien située pour visiter les nombreux sites du Périgord aux alentours. Maison très bien équipée, manque juste une place de parking. Maison très charmante située en plein centre du village, près des commerces, ce qui peut occasionner un peu de bruit le soir.
La Petite Maison is a unique stone home nestled in a medieval village. The home is well maintained and contains gorgeous furniture, modern amenities, and is conveniently located to bistros, restaurants and grocery stores. After a day spent walking on cobblestone pathways, relax on a small, pleasant terrace and sip a glass of local wine. Experiment with speaking French. The French are very friendly and helpful. Lastly, enjoy! This place is great!
