Dordogne. Heated Pool. Gite house. Exclusive. Family and friends.

Rose Barn at Sol du Mazel has a wonderful open plan living area occupying the whole ground floor. The well equipped kitchen should have everything you need. Though there are comfortable sofas inside, though most people sit under the abri to relax and dine outdoors.

Upstairs there is a double bedroom which can take a cot , a twin bed room and a bunk bedroom with full size beds.

We make a point of being Child Friendly and have pretty well all the equipment needed for babies, toddlers, kids, tweenies and teenagers.

Sol du Mazel, is situated in a most beautiful, quiet rural setting, yet it is close enough to the village to take a morning stroll down the age old footpath to the local boulangerie for fresh croissants. Hope Cottage is the other (4 bed) property at Sol du Mazel.

Situated in the Dordogne, near Domme, Daglan and Castlenaud, nestled in 4 acres of its own land the two gîtes overlook a walnut orchard and wild flower and grass meadow. On the other side of the valley the woods are the home to deer and wild boars which can often be seen at dawn if you manage to get up that early.

Rest and relax by the gorgeous 12 x 5 m swimming pool (heated from May through to end Sept - so that it is still pleasant).

Watch the children play on the trampoline, play fort or the climbing frame while the grown-ups might build up the energy to read a book in a hammock or from the shaded gazebo overlooking the meadow.

Later enjoy a barbecue outside sitting under the shade of the abri, or perhaps visit the gourmet restaurant in the village (remember to book). From the end of June to the end of August every Saturday evening the village square and road is taken over by the ‘Marché Gourmand Nocturne’ which can best be described as a street party where everyone is welcome and all sorts of food and drink are on tap.
