Maison Monterone

About this property

Maison Monterone offers a gorgeous escape for two in the heart of the Dordogne’s Perigord Vert. Set within a little hamlet, this sensitively restored farmhouse cottage blends rustic charm with contemporary ease, inviting guests to unwind without forgoing comfort. Step inside, and a light-filled interior unfolds with a double-height ceiling, exposed beams and a seamless open-plan design.

The living area opens directly onto the terrace, where a little al-fresco dining space awaits. A private log-fired jacuzzi spa offers indulgent moments under the stars, complete with a solar shower. Inside, the kitchen is fully equipped for relaxed holiday cooking and the modern bathroom adds an extra layer of comfort. A spiral staircase leads to the mezzanine bedroom, where a double bed promises restful nights.

Whether you begin your day with coffee in the garden or wind down with an evening soak in the spa, this is a space designed for slowing down. Across the area, woodland trails stretch out in every direction and there are some lovely cycling routes. For those craving deeper relaxation, onsite holistic therapies, including massage, reiki and reflexology, are available by arrangement.

A small café bar is just 2km away in the local village, while charming Mareuil en Périgord, with its restaurants, shops and weekly market, lies only 15 minutes by car.

Indeed, the cottage is ideally positioned for exploring northern Dordogne. Brantôme, often called the “Venice of the Périgord”, is just 15km away and offers riverside dining, vibrant markets and canoeing. Venture further to discover medieval villages, grand châteaux and the rich culinary traditions of the region.

For couples seeking a peaceful, well-connected hideaway with plenty of soul, Maison Monterone invites you to linger, explore and truly exhale.

In the Périgord Vert region of the Dordogne, Maison Monterone offers guests an idyllic escape surrounded by the unspoilt countryside of northern Dordogne. In a little hamlet close to the small village of Leguillac de Cercles, this charming holiday home is perfectly placed for discovering the rich heritage, natural beauty and historic charm of the region.

A 2km drive or leisurely walk takes you to the village café-bar for your morning coffee in Leguillac de Cercles, while the nearby town of Mareuil en Périgord (11km) offers a selection of local shops, restaurants, a bakery, and a supermarket for all your daily essentials.

Meanwhile, Brantôme en Périgord (known as the ‘Venice of the Périgord’) is just 15km away and promises a magical day out with its riverside abbey, vibrant market and winding medieval streets lined with artisan boutiques and shaded cafés. Look out for boat trips and canoeing opportunities along the Dronne River.

History and culture await in every direction. The striking Château de Bourdeilles (12km) is a highlight for history lovers, while the hilltop town of Villebois-Lavalette (30km) boasts impressive ramparts and a beautiful covered market. Head west to the riverside gem of Aubeterre-sur-Dronne (38km), officially listed among France’s ‘Plus Beaux Villages’, and home to an extraordinary monolithic church carved into the rock.

For a more bustling local experience, Ribérac’s famous Friday morning market (27km) is perfect for sampling regional cheeses, fresh produce and local delicacies. A day trip to the elegant city of Périgueux (45km) reveals Roman ruins, fine dining and high-end shopping.
