About us
We specialise exclusively in renting vacation properties in the Dordogne region of Aquitaine in the South West of France to world-wide clients.
This is a unique selection of quality homes, a strictly limited collection of the finest châteaux, manor houses and farmhouses in the area, which we have assembled since 1989, when we discovered the Dordogne , fell in love with the area and moved here from London.
The Bourdil Blanc near Bergerac is owned
by us. All the other properties we have personally inspected . These
are all chosen because of their unique quality, assurance , value for
money, character and charm and are often situated in idyllic locations.
All the owners are known to us personally and they are aware of the
exacting standards required by our international clientele. We always
meet with the owner and inspect and photograph all properties offered
for rental.
As permanent residents we know the region
extremely well and can give detailed advice as necessary.You will find
the guide book about the Dordogne which we have written most useful.
This can be bought online. Check out the link on the Home Page.
What makes our company different from
others ?
Our in depth knowledge of the area, the
houses and the owners. There is no doubt that we have the best houses
to rent in the area.
How ?
We have lived here for nearly twenty years
and have built up a very successful track record over this time sourcing
and renting the best houses.
This is because we are on site.We live
in Bergerac and are fluent in French. We can therefore also provide
you with the best service whilst you are on holiday. This means assistance
with travel arrangements, restaurant bookings, advice on things to do,
guides and additional staff at the house , either maid service or cooks
or anything else you may wish to know about.
Please note that most owners provide limited
housekeeping as part of the rental price. Where it is not provided we
can arrange housecleaning through the owner, generally at about Euros
10-15 per hour. All properties have either a caretaker or other responsible
person who may be contacted in case of emergency or because of plumbing,
electrical or other problems. The phone numbers of these contact persons
are provided. Properties with pools invariably include pool maintenance.
We are on site to help if these local maintenance people do not provide
the service desired in an emergency.
Many owners have prepared extensive information
for guests that includes restaurant recommendations and suggestions
for local sightseeing.
Most owners welcome clients personally
or arrange to have their local caretaker do so. Owners normally welcome
guests at 17.00 on the day of arrival, and expect them to vacate on
their departure date by 10:00am. This allows the owner time to clean
the property after a client's departure and before the next client's
arrival. Arrival and departure times may sometimes be altered in exceptional
circumstances.
All these last minute details, changes of plan and special requirements are our speciality and this is what can make all the difference between an average and a truly wonderful holiday.
In brief our aim is to find you a quality
holiday rental home which meets your specific requirements and is hassle
free and most enjoyable once you have arrived.
We have lived in the UK and the US in the past so we really do understand the specific requirements of our Anglo - Saxon clients. We do this by talking to you and corresponding with you about what you really want. We have years of experience in matching people and properties.
Should you desire references from clients who have rented previously through our company, please ask.
PLEASE BOOK EARLY FOR THE BEST PROPERTIES AS THEY RENT EARLY.
We look forward to helping you select the best rental property for YOU.
