Stunning Gite, private garden, large heated pool, tranquil and historic setting

Gite Delphine with its blue Provence shutters, is a charming property with its own private garden and large terrace. Delphine is set within a small private historic hamlet which consists of one other gite, about 25m away, barns and ancient stone cottage. The pool is shared.

As you approach Delphine along the parasol pine tree lined drive, and Delphine comes into view, it would be difficult not to be enchanted.

Delphine has a large open plan kitchen, dining and living with direct access to the large terrace for al fresco dining and relaxing. The kitchen is fully fitted and includes a dishwasher. The living area has a comfy settee and a traditional log burner.

The ground floor ensuite bedroom (accessed via the living room) can be configured as either a twin or superking room. This bedroom has a vaulted ceiling with original exposed beams and direct access to the terrace. There is also an ensuite shower room.

The first floor king size ensuite bedroom is accessed via a wooden spiral staircase. There is also a vaulted ceiling with original wooden beams and the ensuite has both a bath and over bath shower.

The pool area is nestled at the lower part of the property and is accessed via private stone steps from the driveway. The large 10x5m heated pool has a lovely sun drenched terrace. The pool is shared.

Delphine is completely private in her own right however, should you wish to holiday with two parties or a larger family, please take a look at our other gite - Gite Estelle.

If you want a break from relaxing by the pool or exploring the grounds at La Terrisse, there are plenty of things to do in the local area:
* 'Parc en Ciel' is about 8km away from the property and is a fantastic aerial assault course, suitable for all ages and in a lovely wooded valley with gorgeous pool area making a great day out ).
* There are many companies that offer canoeing or boat hire down the beautiful Dordogne or Lot rivers. You can choose the distance you cover and stop off to visit villages or picnic along the way.
* The region is rich in history and has numerous castles and bastide (walled) towns to visit. We are particularly fond of Monpazier and Monflanquin (about 20km away), which are beautiful towns with craft and antique shops and plenty of excellent cafes and restaurants. Chateau Bonaguil is 8 km away from the property and is well worth a visit (). We also love the much smaller chateau at Gavaudun, with it's access staircase cut into the rock (6km away).
* In the summer months on most evenings you can find a local village fete where you can mix with the locals and enjoy regional food and wine.
* The prehistoric sites of the Dordogne, such as the troglodyte village at Roque Saint-Christophe () and caves at Lascaux are within easy reach.
