About this property

Villamblard, The Perfect Place To Unwind And Relax. This villa is in a rural setting.

La Petite Foret is a spacious comfortable 5 bedroom house in the heart of the Dordogne.
Set in two acres of private enclosed grounds, with mature trees bordered by a stream, leading into woodland.
With its own large circular private pool, gardens, bbq and table tennis, makes this delightful house an ideal retreat for families wishing to unwind and relax.
La Petite Foret nestles in the Dordogne South West corner of the Perigord Pourpre, betwixt the towns of Bergerac and Perigueux both of which offer a good selection of restaurants, bars, and shops. Bergerac, famous for its wine grapes offers some of the best wines.
The local cuisine includes truffles and foie gras and is noted for its rich goose and duck dishes. Named after one of France’s longest and most beautiful rivers, the Dordogne is celebrated for its lush woodland, rolling green countryside and fertile valleys, and offers some of the best landscape scenery in France.

The Owner Recommends

Perfect Location between Bergerac and Périgueux

At La Petite Foret you can have the benefits of the two Cities, Bergerac 22km and Périgueux 27km and all that they can offer while still have the rural tranquility of Villamblard

There are so many things to do around this region and filling your days are limited by only your imagination. Here are just a few of the things that are available locally.

# Canoeing
In summer you’re missing out if you come to the Dordogne and don’t take a trip on the river.
# Gabarres de Bergerac
Keeping with a watery theme, barges are a tradition on the Dordogne next to Bergerac and have been shuttling along the river for centuries.

# Grand Etang de la Jemaye
Villamblard is a long way from the ocean, but if the heat gets too much in summer a picturesque lake can pick up the slack.

# Caves
Caves, there are many but chances are you’ve never seen caves like these ones, an easy drive between Bergerac and Sarlat-la-Canéda.

# Food Tours
If you’re curious about the delicacies of the Dordogne and Périgord region you could fill your day with one memorable food experience after another.

# GOLF PUBLIC DE PERIGUEUX
This 18 hole course, which is relatively flat, is crossed by the Beauronne which is a small stream and adds a number of features and hazards to the course. There are several other water features to negotiate…..

# Tennis
And of course, just a very short walk away there are some fine tennis facilities just waiting for you to hone those skills.

We spent a very enjoyable fortnight at LPF in August 2019. Our party was two families with four young children, and a set of grandparents. The house is very spacious, with a massive living room, good sized bedrooms, and lots of outdoor space. Having two kitchens was great. We used the upstairs one for breakfast, and the larger, downstairs one later in the day. There was an abundance of cooking and eating utensils, and nothing was missing. The pool is much bigger than the pictures suggest - at least 9m across - and the gardens were perfect for our kids to run around. There were plenty of garden and pool toys in the cupboards and we made good use of the table tennis. The pool was cleaned regularly.

Villamblard itself is a lovely little town, with a small weekly market, a boulangerie, a decent small supermarket, and a couple of cafes/bars. The butcher has sadly closed down - larger supermarkets are in Mussidan, Bergerac and Perigieux - all around 20 mins drive. There are numerous markets in nearby villages. The municipal swimming pool next door is very good, and luckily sells ice creams.

We needed some new bedding and other small things during our stay and it was easy to get in touch with the local contact to make arrangements.
