Perfection
This was such a lovely place to stay. Itâs a 16th century historic home with loads of charm and history but yet outfittted with all of the modern conveniences. In the morning, one wakes up to fresh air, the sounds of birdsong and the bells of the church next door. Located in the heart of Sarlat so shops, restaurants and the famous market are on your doorstep. If you have elderly guests or ones with limited mobility be warned there are steps both within the house and into the home so a bit challenging. Host/owner is very kind and responsive. I wouldnât hesitate to stay again and hope I have the chance to do so one day!

Outstanding home!
Jacqueline was waiting for us when we got to Sarlat. She was delightful to talk to, and exceedingly helpful giving us ideas where to visit and eat during our stay. The old house was spacious, well appointed, and memorable.

Fantastique/Awsome
A must for enjoying Sarlat and all the wonderful surrounding castles. This recently restored historic residence in the middle of Sarlat will allow you to explore all of the Dordogne, all within a short drive. Stay in town you will find so many great Restaurants. Duck in all forms, Foi Gras, Pate and truffles abound. Our host, Jaqueline made our trip one to remember. Our two weeks there was to celebrate our 50th anniversary. What great memories we shall bring back home.

Sarlatâs Pretty Postcard Cottage
What a beautiful region & remarkable home! My family of 4 spent two weeks in this cityâs most enchanting, most photographed medieval cottage & loved our stay. The home is quiet at night, beds were comfortable, washer & toilet on ground floor were convenient & fans for cooling were provided. We enjoyed the small patio for morning coffee & it was so nice to step out the door & have all of Sarlat at our feet. Or within 15 minutes be in another perfectly preserved voted âmost beautifulâ medieval village. Our gracious host Jacqueline & her English speaking daughter, Lea, personally met us at the top of the street where itâs very easy to offload your luggage & park free overnight. Longer term free parking info was given & itâs just a short diagonal walk across the park. Jacqueline & her daughter Lea were available if we needed anything & are both lovely warm people. Do read their booklet for top spots, etc. We did mostly everything on it.
More Tips:
* Do not miss Beynac, park at the castle, visit, then walk down through the village & let the fittest one retrieve the car. ;)
* Domme: park at the very top- do the Grotto tour underneath the visitor center.
* Canoe: we can recommend Canoe Loisirs
* Chateau Milandes: Falconry show
* Sarlatâs market days were terrific. The mini Casino for everything else is a few minutes walk away or the large Carrefour nearby.
Thank you again Jacqueline & Lea, we had a wonderful time!

Magnificent home and host
Magnificent is the best word to describe our wonderful host Jacqueline, and this historic home (16th century) with a perfect view of the old cathedral. The early morning tranquility and late night splendor seen from the front stone porch are peaceful and inspiring. The home has all modern conveniences and everything you need for cooking at home. Sarlat and the Dordogne region offer many activities. Jacqueline offers dining and activity recommendation to make your stay memorable and enjoyable. This is the only place we will consider if we retrun to beautiful Sarlat.

perfect home base
Jacqueline's home was perfect for us. It was quiet, even though it's the most-photographed home, with it's iconic architecture and perfect location at the entrance to the old town. It was spacious and clean, and a great base for exploring Sarlat and the surrounding areas.

A truly special stay
This property exceeded our expectations, an outstanding home with an in town location. Second to none. Strolling the ancient streets of Sarlat and sampling the wine and food was memorable. Our host and owner couldnât have done more to make are stay better, her beautiful historic home provided the historic feel with all the latest conveniences, we hated to leave.

Lovely old house with lots of atmosphere and charm. Well decorated.
From the photo we did not realize that it was on such a steep hill with a steep, narrow alley like street. We had an SUV and there was only public parking and spaces were difficult to find. Otherwise, the experience of staying in this house was wonderful! The owner is charming and very helpful. The house was just steps from the medieval town, and it was only a short walk to the bakery every morning for warm bread!

Fairy-Tale House
This house has the most Beauty and the Beast Vibes: the patio is covered with flowers and overlooks the village, and the rooms are rustic and cozy. The outside of the house is very picturesque. The bathroom and the kitchen are updated but still felt cozy. Jacqueline gave us a tour of the house during the check-in and helped us with the check-out process; she was very hospitable. She left us a nice gift for our stay. The house is the perfect location; we were steps away from the town center and l the market. Overall, our stay was amazing. We highly recommend this house.

Stunning historic property in amazing location with perfect outlook
I cannot recommend this property highly enough. Jacqueline was a considerate and welcoming host, who made sure we had everything we needed without imposing on our stay. The property was beautifully restored and presented, and spotlessly clean in a wonderful central location. Our stay was a joy and we cannot wait to return!

Amazing property in a perfect location!
We stayed in this wonderful property from 5-19 Sept 2021. We were looking for a property within walking distance to the centre of Sarlat and this house was perfect for us. A mere 2 minute walk into the centre with its many shops and restaurants. The property itself has a beautiful terrace, with comfortable outdoor seating, overlooking the cathedral. The house has been recently renovated and was spotlessly clean and fitted with all mod-cons. Stunning modern bathroom with an additional toilet and washing machine downstairs. The owner Jacqueline was helpful and approachable. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend this property. A real gem.
