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.
Les Bonnets is a luxury gite for 2 people in the Dordogne. This house has a beautiful long view over an ancient pond and rolling fields. The entrance faces west and benefits from a cool breeze and good shade.
On the ground floor you will find a well equipped kitchen and the living room and dining room and restored fireplace. The dining room chairs and table are antiques from the country. The master bedroom has an excellent quality king size bed, set into the roof slope, with beautiful exposed beams. (Some are low!) From the room you have a view of the pool. The en-suite bathroom has a washbasin, W.C. and bath with integrated shower.
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.
