Maison Allemans

About this property

At the edge of a country lane in the Lot-et-Garonne, surrounded by open fields that stretch toward the horizon, Maison Allemans stands as a beautifully restored stone barn offering comfort, space and outdoor living. With one hectare of private grounds and rural views, this spacious home is designed for relaxed holidays where every generation can unwind and reconnect.

The original character of the building has been thoughtfully preserved, with exposed stonework and generous proportions, while the interior has been fully modernised to meet every need. The open-plan kitchen and dining area is made for leisurely meals, complete with table football for casual entertainment. A cosy lounge with TV, Wi-Fi and a fireplace provides a welcoming space to retreat in the evenings, while a handy ground-floor bathroom is ideal after a swim.

Upstairs, five comfortable bedrooms accommodate groups of up to 10 guests, including two doubles with ensuite shower rooms alongside a family bathroom. Outside, days drift easily between sunny afternoons by the private 9-metre swimming pool, shaded lunches on the terrace and friendly games on the private tennis court.

Tucked between the villages of Allemans-du-Dropt and Auriac-sur-Dropt, the location balances countryside with convenience. The nearby village of Allemans, just 2km away, offers a bakery, café-bar and even canoe hire for riverside adventures. A short drive brings you to Duras with its restaurants, supermarket and weekly market, while the medieval Dordogne charm of Eymet, 12km away, offers further options for dining and exploring.

Whether gathering with friends or spending quality time with family, Maison Allemans is the kind of home that invites you to slow down, stretch out and savour the simple pleasures of rural France.

At the end of a no-through lane with only a small handful of neighbours, Maison Allemans enjoys a countryside setting in the heart of south-west France’s enchanting Dropt Valley. Surrounded by open fields and gently rolling hills, this holiday home sits in a wonderfully rural location between Allemans-du-Dropt and Auriac-sur-Dropt, yet within easy reach of vibrant market towns, medieval villages and some of the region’s most celebrated vineyards.

Just over 2km away, the riverside village of Allemans-du-Dropt offers an inviting taste of local life, with a traditional bakery, café-bar restaurant and summer canoeing on the Dropt River. A short drive leads to Duras (10km), a charming hilltop town crowned by its 12th-century château. Here you’ll find a full range of amenities, including a supermarket, restaurants and a lively Thursday night market during summer months.

A little further afield, the bastide towns of Eymet and Issigeac are a delight to explore, each offering winding medieval streets, atmospheric squares and thriving local markets. Issigeac’s Sunday morning market is especially wonderful – the village itself is classified as one of France’s ‘Plus Beaux Villages’.

For those in search of colour and character, don’t miss Sainte-Foy-la-Grande, perched beside the Dordogne River. Its Saturday morning market is one of the region’s best, brimming with fresh produce, local wines and artisanal delights. A day trip to Bergerac opens up a world of gastronomic pleasures and heritage charm, with its riverside quays, half-timbered buildings and easy access to the vineyards of the Périgord Pourpre.

Wine enthusiasts are perfectly placed to explore some of France’s most prestigious appellations for superb days out. The world-renowned village of Saint-Émilion, with its ancient wine caves and grand cru estates, is just over an hour away, while the elegant city of Bordeaux makes for an unforgettable excursion, offering everything from cutting-edge wine experiences to riverfront dining and fine art galleries.

Whether you’re here to unwind in nature, sip your way through storied vineyards or explore the timeless beauty of the villages across the Lot-et-Garonne, Gironde and Dordogne regions, Maison Allemans offers the ideal base for an authentic and relaxing escape.
