Description from owner
Description
Le Priolet was originally an 18th century priory built on the banks of the Dordogne river, 15 minutes from the UNESCO World Heritage site of Saint-Émilion. Le Priolet has been lovingly renovated with modern amenities and one-of-a-kind antiques, preserving the authentic beauty of the original architecture without sacrificing comfort. Set at the end of long, private driveway through neighboring vineyards, the villa is a tranquil oasis with a swimming pool, gardens and private access to the river for swimming and fishing from our dock.
The open plan gourmet kitchen and dining area for 6-8 people is warmed by a large stone fireplace, and opens up to a patio and outdoor dining area overlooking the river. You will spend many hours with your coffee/tea or a glass of wine, watching the river drift by. And when the weather is warm, we eat outside every meal. It is not uncommon for swans and other water birds to spend their days in the river by Le Priolet, watching us as we enjoy their presence.
The kitchen opens to a large double height living room with a second smaller dining or games table and its own freestanding fireplace. A bluetooth speaker and drinks cart help you set the mood.
The villa has 4 large bedrooms. The master bedroom is upstairs with a king size bed and ensuite bathroom. There are two bedrooms on the main level, one with a queen sized bed, and the other with two twin beds that can be separate or pushed together for another king size bed. These rooms share a large bathroom adjacent to them. The loft bedroom has a queen size bed and it's own ensuite bathroom. There is also a separate toilet off the living room. Extra sleeping room for 2 can be arranged in the large den with a pull-out sofa and a day bed.
Other amenities include, wifi, satellite TV, washer/dryer, ping pong table, bikes, canoes and kayaks.
Set your own pace with activities. You can spend your day with a book watching the river go by, or ...
- Explore the countryside with our 2 bikes - Castillon-la-Bataille is a 15-20 min ride away along the river.
- Swim, fish or kayak in the river (it's perfectly clean)!

“Wonderful stay.”
The four of us stayed for a week and had a wonderful stay. Great location, close to many interesting towns, such as St Emilion and activities. The house was lovely and interesting with everything we could need to make our stay comfortable. We enjoyed the pool, the bikes and the river which we explored with canoes provided. Great to have breakfast or dinner watching the river slowly flow by and it was very quiet. We thought it was a great place, a great find and wouldn't hesitate to stay again if the opportunity presents it's self.
