Renovated by a multi award winning theatre lighting designer, we offer you the exclusive use of his house which features four sitting rooms, a courtyard garden and four double bedrooms of which three are ensuite plus a further twin room with double air bed. Accommodation for 10 to 12 people.

The bedrooms are located over three floors in the main sixteenth century house with the main dining kitchen and drawing room on the first floor.

Down to the ground floor where on the left is a salon with a grand piano and a home cinema. On the other side of that hallway is the pub. A snooker room with a darts board, stacks of games and banquette seating again for 12, the perfect place for late night revelry. Also in this room is a mini office with computer and printer. From the pub one way is a handy WC and the other is the bright summer kitchen conservatory which is another sitting room featuring an auxiliary kitchen servicing an indoor gas BBQ, dining table and comfortable seating in sofas and directors chairs. Beyond here is a laundry room available to you.

The courtyard has different zones to relax in, each shady or sunny with the passing of the hours and an L shaped swimming pool to cool the body and relax the mind. At the far end of the pool is a covered pergola for two and a door into the gymnasium with weights, a rowing machine, electric relaxation bed and a full sized Swedish sauna.

Sainte Foy La Grande is a medieval bastide town that is enveloped on three sides by “Pineuilh”, its more modern suburb. Over the bridge is another of the ‘burbs “Port-Sainte-Foy-et-Ponchapt” and in both places are supermarkets, restaurants, butchers and bars. Tavereau is slap bang in the middle of the bastide and along the two main streets (Rue de la République and Rue Victor Hugo) together with the town square there are local shops, bars, restaurants and banks. A five minute drive or a twenty minute walk will take you to the edge of Pineuilh where there is a retail park with a hypermarket and other large outlet stores. Two streets from the house is the Dordogne. There is a long promenade to drink in the view or more sensibly there are seating areas where you can drink in the wine.
