Beynac Holiday Chalet in Perigord Noir, Dordogne, South-West France Reviews

Very nice home for a vacation stay in a beautiful setting in the Dordogne River valley


We spent a week at this home in early-May 2012. What a comfortable home in a beautiful setting! Located just outside of the village of Beynac, this home is in a very quiet location that allows you to get away from the busier parts of Beynac yet is a reasonable walk to the village. The view from the master bedroom is of Chateau Beynac (wow!). The front deck is a great spot to relax, eat breakfast or dinner and look over a tranquil country scene of several small farms. Each evening, we enjoyed a glass of wine from the deck and watched the hot air balloons float over the valley.

Beynac is a very good base from which to explore the Dordogne. Many of the sights we wanted to visit were within a short drive, making for nice day trips.

We received a wonderful welcome from the owners. One was on hand when we arrived and provided a very welcoming tour of the home. Most unexpectedly, the owners had stocked the kitchen with essentials for the next morning's breakfast (eggs, fresh bread, bacon, milk, juice, etc.). We have rented vacation homes in many places in the U.S., Canada and now Europe and have never received a warmer welcome.

The home is fully and accurately described in the VRBO listing. The home is exceptionally well maintained. We hope to make a return visit to the Dordogne Valley in the future for a longer stay and this property will be our first choice for our home away from home.
