La Mirabelle, ideal for both adults and children, is a renovated 19th century farmhouse with attached barn. Situated in Montazeau, in the canton of Vélines, its location at the top of a valley offers uninterrupted views across the countryside. Montazeau,5km from Vélines, is bordered by two rivers, the Lidoire to the north-west and the Estrop to the south-west, both of which meander through the heart of the Dordogne Valley's rustic countryside.

Four individually designed bedrooms with ensuite facilities containing state-of-the-art hydro showers. The rooms, with 150-year old beams, wooden floors and wonderful art on the walls, offer a great sense of space and airiness. Included is all bed linen and towels.Spacious enough for 9 people, la grande cuisine/sitting area is an exceptionally large room to cook, eat and relax. With two large double ovens, both with rotisseries, it is the perfect place in which to prepare meals, chill,relax and enjoy. Bon Appetit


 

 

All about La Mirabelle

KitchenLa Mirabelle is set in two acres of gardens, with vineyards on either side. The raised decked terrace around the pool is a day-long suntrap. Catch the sun and have lots of fun. Further deck areas (one with purpose built bbq), tables, chairs and parasols, provide excellent areas for relaxing and eating al fresco. For the more energetic there is a beach volleyball/badminton located in the centre of the garden, Petanque, football and archery situated in our grove of fruit trees.

Proximity to an excellent selection of restaurants, offering a wide choice of local and cordon bleu cuisine. Within the village of Montazeau there is La peche mignon,a splendid location for traditional Alsace cuisine.In St Meard du Gurçon, there are two splendid Restaurants, only 5km drive.

We are also close to the bar 'La Pagode', run by our good friends Marie Claude & Philippe. Great for beach food/snacks. Le Lac de Gurson (10 mins): two beautiful lakes, one for fishing and another (with lifeguard during the season) for swimming. The lakes offer a range of leisure and sporting activities, including fishing with a man-made beach to complement with several bars and restaurants.

More about La Mirabelle and its surroundings

Valley viewsThere are markets in local towns and villages virtually every day of the week throughout the area, although our particular favourites are the bustling Saturday market in Sainte-Foy-La-Grande (12 mins) and the Friday & Sunday markets in Libourne (30 mins). With all the smells, aromas and wonderful produce you will find all the colours of the rainbow, just waiting to be taken and turned into the most amazing delicious dishes. To purchase local wine couldn't be easier, pop next door, Chateau La Font du Parc, consistant medal winners.Superb every day wine,red,white and rose,or for that special occasion-the oak aged red,is a must.

St Emilion, of course, is one of the premier houses of the Bordeaux wine region and the town, with its wonderful winding, cobbled streets shouldn't be missed. St Emilion has many fabulous restaurants, sensational architecture and plenty of opportunities for wine tasting in the surrounding chateaux. Our favorite tour and tasting is Chateau Belair, an experience not to be missed. Sensational wine and tour of their caves.

PoolWalking and cycling around La Font du Parc (our local commune) or further a field. Canoeing and kayaking along the Dordogne River. Tennis is available at Ste Foy & St Antoine de Breuilh. Golfing: 18-hole course at Chateau des Vigiers (20 mins), which also has a wonderful restaurant and health spa and a 9-hole course at Chateau Les Merles. Coast (1 hr), including Aracachon and the Dune du Playa (one of the largest sand dunes in the world). A wonderful day out for all the family.
