Domaine de la Borderie is a charming estate nestled in the heart of the Dordogne. Perched on a hill, this former French hamlet consists of a few characterful houses, four of which are available as holiday rentals. Choose from La Bergerie (for 2, newly renovated in 2025), La Chaumière (for 5), and La Fermette (for 8+2). Each can be booked individually or together—perfect for a peaceful getaway with family or friends.
The houses are tastefully decorated with respect for their original charm. Scattered across the wooded estate are cozy shared spots, including a wood-fired pizza oven at the center, near the home of the welcoming managers. The newly upgraded pool (2023) is a summer favorite, while the jeu de boules court offers a truly French touch. In La Fermette’s spacious living room, guests can enjoy music around the grand piano or gather by the fireplace. The terrace, with panoramic views, is ideal for sunset dinners and drinks.

• Private yet connected: each gîte has its own kitchen, bathroom, and garden
• Great for groups: enjoy time together while keeping personal space
• Peaceful, authentic atmosphere with shared amenities
• Family-friendly, with free cots, high chairs, and more on request
