Description
Domaine de Fumel (ADULTS ONLY) offers a haven of peace and tranquility for the discerning holidaymaker looking for a luxury gite for 2 people in the Dordogne.
Le Chai is a luxury gite for 2 that has been tastefully restored and the sunny patio overlooks the vineyards, is quite private and also benefits from the sunset.
The ground floor in Le Chai is very spacious and because it is on the north side, it stays nice and cool. The raised kitchen is half open and closes directly to the dining room. Le Chai has all the comforts of home and is a great space to use.
The bedroom is located on the 1st floor. The comfortable 1.6m bed is of good quality and the room is nicely decorated. The bathroom has a toilet, bath with hand shower attachment, bidet and washbasin. The windows overlook the vines with far reaching views over rolling farmland, the goldfish ponds and ancient rooftops.
Outside
The solar heated floodlit pool is 14m x 7m. The pool has a deep end of 2.2 m and a shallow end of 0.9 m with Roman steps. It sits on the edge of a gentle grassy hillside and benefits from rural views and inspiring sunsets. There are plenty of sunbeds around the pool, which is carefully covered every night to keep the solar gains at temperature. For your enjoyment, a hot tub has been added to the end of the pool deck, which is also carefully covered each night to keep the water warm. For even more fun, we've also created a giant chess set. The south courtyard overlooks the pool and lawns, and is well shaded. Ideal during the hot summers. The surrounding gardens are largely laid to lawn and various trees for shade. Various trees provide cherries that are ready to eat in June, but there are also figs, walnuts and grapes that are ready to use in meals in September. There are also three ponds, filled with goldfish eager for your stale bread. A word of warning - from April to June the frogs croak happily, they can be quite noisy!
The luxury accommodation at Domaine de Fumel is just a 20-minute drive from Bergerac Airport. Ideal if you want to go on holiday to the Dordogne by plane. The land surrounding the domaine has been designated a "Reserve de repeuplement" by the local Chasse, meaning it is not allowed to be hunted and has therefore become a haven for all local wildlife. Golden Oriels and nightingales enchant us in spring and early summer; buzzards, owls, bats and hawks entertain us all summer and fall. Due to a careful policy of pesticides in agriculture and vines, the country benefits from wild orchids and mother-of-pearl butterflies in early summer.
