On the hillside just above the tiny village of Paunat, just a short walk away from one of the best restaurants in the area, is the beautiful La Maison Soleil. 

Recently renovated with great care, this characterful house offers the perfect combination of traditional features alongside contemporary style. You’ll find beamed ceilings and a decorative wood burner (not useable) in the cosy living room with French windows leading straight out to the glorious gardens. Exposed stone features in the quirky dining room, which has its own office space on an open mezzanine, the perfect place to find some peace and quiet! The rustic kitchen is lovely and features all the modern conveniences you would expect to prepare your feast of French delights.

The two ground floor bedrooms are light and airy with their own stylish walk-in showers and picture book windows. As you wander outside you can read a book on a bench overlooking the gardens, have your morning coffee listening to the birds, sit by the pergola to take in the views or relax by the small but dreamy swimming pool with the gentle sounds of the stream below. It’s the perfect place for a couple, two or three friends or maybe even those looking for a romantic honeymoon.

This is a great location near both the Vézère and Dordogne rivers, an area full of pretty medieval villages, fine wines, truffles, vibrant local markets, canoeing on the rivers and unspoilt views of stunning countryside. There’s an excellent restaurant within a short walk in Paunat, a lovely village with a little stream, 1000 year old abbey and wonderful countryside views around or head to the town of Le Bugue (8km) on the Vézère riverside which has a fantastic market on a Tuesday. The pretty Dordogne village of Limeuil is also within a short drive and an enchanting place to visit. 

Other magical trips out should include sampling the delicious black truffle in the city of Périgueux, heading east to the exquisite town of Sarlat or simply exploring some of France’s Plus Beaux Villages along the Dordogne such as La Roque Gageac, Beynac and Castelnaud-la-Chapelle. Not forgetting the beautiful city of Bergerac with its unmissable Maisons de Vins.

Whether you are a lover of fine foods, exquisite scenery or just looking for a romantic and relaxing break away, La Maison Soleil is a picture-perfect place for your stay in the magnificent Dordogne.
