*********************************************************************
Located inside the fortified walls of the mediaeval village of Domme
(classified as “one of the most beautiful villages of France’’), this fully restored stone cottage offers charming and comfortable accommodation for a couple or small family.
La Combe has a master bedroom, a small bedroom, a bathroom, a large open-plan kitchen and dining room, and an elegant and cosy living room. It also has a small secluded garden with table and chairs to lunch outside al fresco under the fruit trees while enjoying the extensive view over the fortified village walls.
The house is set in a quiet street but is only 3 minutes walk from the shops, bars and restaurants of the bastide village. You can lie in bed enjoying the countryside views and send your partner to get the baguettes and croissants in the mornings! Or wander back home in the evening, after a delicious meal and a romantic stroll through the honey-coloured village.
Indoor description
******************
From the doorstep made with traditional “pisé” (small pieces of stone set into lime) the front door opens into an open plan kitchen and dining area. The solid wood kitchen is fully equipped with an electric oven, hob, microwave, toaster, kettle and fridge-freezer. There is also large cast iron woodstove for those chillier evenings in low and middle season. Adjacent is a cosy and light living room with a sofa, two armchairs, a coffee table and a large collection of French and English books. It has French doors which open onto the yard and the stone staircase that leads to the secluded garden.
From the dining area, an oak spiral staircase leads upstairs to the bedrooms and the bathroom. The comfortably elegant master bedroom at the rear of the house, with its view over the valley from the dormer window, has a double bed and plenty of under-eave storage. The light and airy bathroom features a view of the fortified walls and has a full bath, shower, sink and toilet. The small bedroom to the front of the house, with its exposed wooden beams, comfortably sleeps one.
The house has been restored using traditional and ecological materials including lime plaster, hemp insulation, natural paints and wood treatments and organic fabrics. It also runs on renewable electricity. It has been redecorated with a keen eye to detail whilst retaining many of the original features including exposed stone walls and wooden beams. There are also solid wooden floors throughout. The house comes equipped with a washing machine, an ironing board and iron.

Domme is an attraction in itself. Built in the 13th century, it stands
above a bend in the river Dordogne. Its history is fascinating and its
old buildings and streets have been perfectly preserved. It has
restaurants of all grades, a weekly market and its own caves accessible from the market square.
Within easy reach are the medieval town of Sarlat (much used in film
sets), the amazing cave systems of Perigord, the spectacular chateaux of Castelnaud, Beynac and Montfort and the troglodyte villages of LaRoque Gageac and St Christophe. This is not known as the Golden Triangle for nothing!
Golf is available at the Domaine de Rochebois (7km away) and in Cenac, less than two kilometers away, you can rent canoes for a tranquil jaunt down the Dordogne. Horse riding, mountain biking and donkey walking tours are all less than ten kilometers away and tennis courts are available at Domme.
