Açıklama İngilizceLook out at the Dordogne vineyards and rolling hills around you as you relax in the glorious gardens of your manoir, surrounded by the summer scents of lavender, roses and jasmine. Close to the delights of both Eymet and Bergerac, this is a fine place to holiday with family or friends looking to relax in this alluring region of southern France. 

The former 19th century residence of the local mairie, this country abode is both elegant and stylish following an impressive restoration in recent years. With seven bedrooms spread over the main house and cottage, Manoir du Jasmin has retained much of its historic charm with original flooring, exposed stone walls and oak beams. This is contrasted with 21st century luxuries such as air-conditioning throughout, a home cinema room, a gym and an especially grand bar and games room in the converted barn.

Even the heated swimming pool is stylish with its limestone terrace and glass panelled safety gate, ideal for young families. The gardens are full of flowering colour and there are fruit trees and a vegetable garden; help yourself to aubergines, chillies or whatever may be growing that season. The 15-acre estate includes lawns, meadows and the owner’s vines; in this beautiful setting you are truly immersed in the Dordogne countryside.

Pass vineyards and summer fields of sunflowers as you drive to Eymet, a much-loved bastide town on the banks of the Dropt river. With its atmospheric square of restaurants, charming weekly Farmer’s market and occasional night markets in July and August, it’s a wonderful place to spend time soaking up the Dordogne ambience around you.

Bergerac is also close by, a must for wine and food-lovers with its Maison des Vins, twice-weekly market and excellent restaurants as well as being ideal for families with boat trips and other child-friendly attractions nearby. Also within a short drive you will find summer canoe trips on the Dordogne or Dropt rivers, incredible walking trails, horse-riding and mountain biking as well as magnificent châteaux and vineyards.

The most intrepid explorers could even venture as far as Bordeaux, just over an hour by train from Bergerac. That said, with its picturesque gardens, a superb pool and such outstanding features, it’ll be hard to leave the beauty of Manoir du Jasmin for too long.
