Peyrelevade - Le Tournesol

For the active holidaymaker, who wants to go, see and experience the French countryside but also wants to enjoy the tranquility of the terrace near the pool.

Situated on a hillside we offer cozy cottages, each with its own character, in an environment where life is easygoing and the air is still pure.

Upon arrival we make sure the beds are made and that a cold drink is waiting for you.

Le Tournesol is the smaller part of the converted barn (sleeps 4) and is on two levels.

Upstairs, there are two bedrooms and a bathroom, which has a large walk-in shower. One bedroom has a queen-size double bed and the other has twin beds.

Downstairs, there is a spacious living room with a kitchen/dining area.

There is a washing machine and a dishwasher. French windows lead to a terrace, on which you will find a barbecue and furniture for open-air dining.

The swimming pool for Le Tournesol can be seen from the terrace where you can sit in the shade of an old willow tree.

Villefranche-du-Périgord (6 km drive away) is a small pretty town in the Dordogne. It is a fortified, medieval "bastide", with colonnaded shops, bars and restaurants. Along the shady streets you can find a newspaper shop selling UK papers, a post office, a bank with an ATM machine, a pharmacy, two small supermarkets, a good butcher and two bakeries selling a wide variety of breads and pastries. The church in the market square is interesting to visit on Market Day.

Peyrelevade itself is actually located across the Dordogne border in the Lot-et-Garonne. It is a 10 minute drive away from the village of Sauveterre-la-Lémance. Sauveterre is smaller than Villefranche, but it still has a good choice of shops, bar including a bakery, a pharmacy, a post office and a museum of local pre-history in the Town Hall. Sauveterre also has a weekly open-air meal in the village centre which is always fun!
