Périgord Noir, near Sarlat, house in a park, view over the Dordogne

Cantegrel, two lovely houses set in 4 acres of land at the edge of a wood, carefully restored and furnished with French antiques.
The position is absolutely unique on a cliff top overlooking the river Dordogne. You will enjoy complete privacy in that romantic location. The two houses are rented together as an ensemble and they are ideal for 6 people. A sunny terrace and a large yard will allow you eating outside and sunbathing. Beauty and peace, those are the two words which describe Cantegrel best !


Sport: Straight from Cantegrel enjoy long walks in the countryside. You can also ride horses ; canoe on the river Dordogne, Vézère or Céou ; climb cliffs ; swim in the Dordogne ; fly over castles by plane, balloon, ULM ; play golf : 'le Domaine de Rochebois', 9 holes (Vitrac 15 km) and 'le Golf de l'Olivarie', 18 holes (Siorac 14 km).
If you wish to canoë on the river Dordogne, you'll find two renters on Enveaux beach, 1 Km from Bézenac.
An 'air park' on the same beach will delight kids and teen agers with tree-climbing, ropes, nets, passages on top of the trees overhanging on the river, etc..

Historic area: During the One Hundred Years war, the Dordogne was on the frontier between the English and French kingdoms. Several towns like Monpazier were built by England on a very special plan, the 'bastides'. When God set the castles in France, he put the most beautiful alongside the river Loire and then tired of his job he emptied all the rest of his bag on the Périgord. That means you will never have enough time to see them all ! The two local castles Beynac (4 km) and Castelnau are truly splendid. Michael Crichton's novel 'Timeline' takes place in the village of Bezenac, but in a more dangerous time than nowadays.
Les Eyzies de Tayac (15 km) is known as the capital of prehistory. 'The shelters of stone' last book of Jean M.Auel is located around Les Eyzies. Several famous painted caves are very near (Lascaux (40 km), Rouffignac, Font de Gaume).
Stalactites caves are also exciting to visit. (Proumeyssac chasm 17 km)

Gastronomy and festivals: 'Good food and wine, this is paradise on earth' said France's much loved king Henry IV. In Périgord eating well is a way of life, a source of pleasure and friendship. The country markets (Saint Cyprien 4km, Sarlat 15km), will provide all the quality products to make yourself the famous "cuisine périgourdine".
You will also find all around the different types of restaurants, from the cheap but excellent "repas à la ferme" to the three stars table.
During the summer, there are many festivals, for example the theatre festival of Sarlat in July and August.

Charming Home in Authentic Village

We were delighted with Cantegrel. The house is perched high above the Dordogne River in the village of Bezenac. Bezenac is off the tourist trail but provides ready access to many of the principal sights of the Dordogne Valley. There are also walks direct from the house and we cycled on quiet paths and roads on a couple of days. The house is very well equipped with good quality cookware which enabled us to cook some lovely meals with produce from the local markets. Helene, the owner, could not have been more helpful.

tranquillity in the Perigord

Our visit? Typified by peace and sunshine + good food and wine at the farmhouse ( yes, we cooked and BBQ'd most days at home and the facilities are excellent) + the beauty ( and cuisine) of the surrounding area and the lovely local town - great market. The view from the cottages over the Dordogne are worth the rent on their own. If you like nightlife, other than restaurants, this is not for you. If you like looking at stars, talking and drinking good French wine, it is. And walking locally? Really good and straight from the farmhouse - take a proper map so you know where you are going and you will find a cold beer at the end of your walk if you plan where you are going. If you end up in the local town and have a few then the taxi home is around 12 euro. And for the English out there, don't believe anything you hear about French people - everyone was friendly and accomodating. We have been twice, and we will go again!

Wonderful View, Wonderful Stay

We visited the Dordogne in November with a view to buying a property of our own. We were attracted to Cantegral by the huge selection of pictures available on-line, giving a really good idea of what the property had to offer. The two properties are set high up in the hills with a great view of the Dordogne and valley around St Cyprien. As we were very fortunate with the weather, we were able to sit out on the terrace and enjoy the views and sunsets over the valley on several afternoons. I can only imagine how much better it will be in the summer season, enjoying a glass of wine over dinner with those great views. Despite arriving quite late one evening, we received a warm welcome from the owners who had set a roaring fire in the hearth and ensured the heating was up and running. The main house offers a living area with good facilities, a huge master bedroom and plenty of accommodation for another 4 people on the next level. There is also a separate house just a few steps away for added privacy or extra guests. Everything was very clean, tidy and in good order, which meant we could simply get on and enjoy the stay. For me, this was a wonderful base from which to tour around the Perigord Noir region –close to many places of interest but away from the main tourist areas. It also had the added attraction of some wonderful books written by the owner, including an excellent book on the history of the area, which I just had to buy! I’d strongly recommend it as a great place to stay, with very friendly, helpful owners and an amazing location.

Agréable mais quelques équipements insuffisants (ombrière) et en bout de course (parasol notamment). Chambre du 2étage inhabitable en cas de forte chaleur.Entretien déficient (évacuation lavabos, charnières des volets, four et filtre de lave-vaisselle sales).Localisation parfaite, bel environnement, proximité facile avec de nombreux sites de visite.

Es war ein wunderschöner Urlaub, das Haus liebevoll gestaltet, sehr gepflegt und dank der detaillierten Beschreibungen hatten wir innerhalb kurzer Zeit das Gefühl dort "zu Hause" zu sein. Alles notwendige ist vorhanden, bei Fragen antwortet Hélène innerhalb weniger Stunden und der Aufenthalt ist unvergesslich!!! Der Ausblick von der Terrasse ist zu jeder Tageszeit atemberaubend und man kann in der Gegend sowohl entspannen als auch viel unternehmen, je nach den Bedürfnissen. ABSOLUT zu EMPFEHLEN!!!!

Belle escapade en Dordogne

Sympathique maison en pierre, avec une vue surprenante sur cette magnifique région, et un bel espace extérieur, le chien Norton était ravis de pouvoir courrir et se balader dans le bois tout proche. Calme malgré les voitures sur la route que l'on entend un peu étant donné que les sons montent. Heureusement peu de circulation. Pas évident de trouver la maison mais la propriétaire nous a très gentiment guidé malgré l'heure tardive. Nous avons passé un très agréable séjour...

A Lovely Stay at Cantegrel

Cantegrel was a delight! Cozy comfortable accommodation in an idyllic setting above Bezenac and overlooking the Dordogne between Beynac and St Cyprien. Helene had made sure everything was organised for us before we arrived, and even left a birthday card for me, as this was the main reason for our visit - a family birthday celebration. For that purpose it was very special - a barbecue for ten in the evening sun overlooking the river! The addition of a bedroom suite in a little house beside the main house was delightful and reading about its history was fascinating. Everything was very clean, plenty of facilities (dishwasher, washing machine, fridge-freezer, TV, music system - which was playing some welcoming music when we arrived!). Wi-fi would have been nice, but to be honest it was almost a pleasure to be without it for a week!! Plenty of information about the local area, and maps galore. Although we knew the area quite well these were very useful for familiarising our family members with where to go and what to see. We would certainly recommend Helene's beautiful place to others for a stay in the region - it is perfectly located for visits to all the major sites.

Que du bonheur !

Il fallait bien deux semaines pour cette première en Dordogne ! Et cantegrel fut un parfait point de chute, et mieux que ça, un havre de paix et de liberté pour découvrir les environs ! Un paradis pour le promeneur que je suis et ses chiens. Une carte IGN au 1/25.000 et voilà 15 jours de découvertes qui en appellent d'autres. Encore Merci ! :-)
