Garden and outside

There is a private balcony leading from the conservatory in the Matisse apartment. The balcony faces south west and is furnished with garden chairs and with a bistro table and chairs. It's very popular, and a great place to have lunch, and to relax.

The balcony has a great view over Sarlat and down the valley.

There is also a garden with lawns and flower beds. We have put deck chairs and sun loungers on the grass in the garden, which are available for guests should you wish to sunbathe.

The bamboo terrace is an extra terrace in the garden, sunny during the day and shaded in the evening. It is available for the use of guests during their stay. There is also a barbecue on the bamboo terrace for you to use whenever you want.

Parking and garages

There is parking for 4 cars. A space for each apartment, next to the house. There are two spaces on the drive and two on the hard standing at the side of the house.

Parking is free for the duration of your stay, and conveniently situated next to the apartments.

The front of the house is on Rue Jean Leclaire, and there is a gate from the garden that you can take to walk down to the centre. But by car, from the bottom of Rue Jean Leclaire, take the first turn to the left on to Cote de Ravat, first left again, on to Rue Roger Bissiere, and first left again on to Lieu dit Roc Bediere, where Maison Pierre D'Or is on the right.

Visitor suitability

The apartments are ideal for couples, but the Matisse apartment has dining for 4 and you are welcome to invite friends back during the day/evening. However, it is not appropriate for parties.

There are guests in the other apartments, and we ask that everyone respects each other's space. Most guests like the peace and quiet.

The Owner Recommends

Two restaurants in Sarlat - Chez Le Gaulois and Le Presidiel

This bistro is our favourite in Sarlat. It makes the perfect tartiflette, and we can highly recommend it. You'll love its traditional French décor and friendly staff.

Or for more fine dining, visit Le Presidiel, where you can enjoy white tablecloths and exquisite French cooking in the beautiful setting of the old law courts.
