Description from owner

Description

La Chartreuse du Maine features 3 stylish holiday houses located in a stunning private estate. The three holiday houses may be rented separately. To see availability and rates for each house, please click on "More" right under the "About the owner" section.

La Chartreuse du Maine and our passion for the genuine beauty of the Dordogne will make your stay a truly memorable Perigordine experience.

Constructed during the reign of King Louis XIV, Le Maine is an 18th-century Chartreuse set in a beautiful countryside at the edge of the authentic village of Cubjac. At Le Maine, in harmony with nature, everything breathes peace, serenity, and happiness of life, you will enjoy simple 'art de vivre' in a confidential property run by locals!

The estate is situated in an estate of abundance and generosity : 63 acres of gardens, terraces, meadows, and woods with plenty of walking trails to explore the surrounding nature. Within 5 minutes walk you will find local shops, a café and even a weekly market in the village.

The swimming pool is in the middle of a meadow filled with wild flowers and offers magnificent views of the hills in the distance. The openness of the area allows the pool deck to benefit from sunlight from dawn to dusk making it an ideal spot to relax.

In this romantic setting the manor house and holiday homes frame the large landscaped courtyard. Each house benefits from complete independence, and has its own private garden with furniture to enjoy a coffee, a meal, or a quiet moment with good book.

If you can tear yourself away from Le Maine, its unique location in the centre of the Dordogne region makes it the ideal base for getting to know all the area has to offer the visitor.

Further details indoors

In every house there is a stereo, a DVD player and an HDTV that receives a satellite signal for stations in English, German and Spanish as well as French.

Beds and bedding are all new and of the highest quality, made with finest linen.

The kitchens are fully equipped with all the appliances, utensils and tableware you will need to prepare gourmet "Perigordine" meals.

Further details outdoors

The 3 houses are detached, not facing each other.
They all have a private garden with dining furniture, lounge chairs and outdoor grill.

In addition the estate offers you:
- Private woods with many footpaths to enjoy walking, footing, bird and wild life watching
- A kitchen garden with rose-trees on ancient arches. Our guests are welcome to pick herbs for cooking
- A pasture where Zebulon the donkey and Rothschild the sheep are happy to socialize with (not only) children
- A meadow on the Auvezere river banks ideal for fishing
- Bicycles for adults are at your disposal at the property

The large swimming pool is to be shared with a maximum of 8 other guests. It has
- A large teak deck with lounge chairs and parasols
- Modern chlorine-free purifying system (slightly salt water not aggressive for eyes and skin)
- An automated security cover to protect non swimming children
- It is located some 80 meters away from the houses, so as children can play without disturbing nap enthusiasts
