Location

This exceptional former mill house benefits from a unique position, just 2km south of the centre of the medieval old town of Sarlat, the capital of the Périgord Noir, in the northeastern Dordogne valley. Sarlat has a distinctive old quarter of great historical interest with beautifully restored Gothic and Renaissance town houses and medieval streets; it offers all shops and services, and a colourful Saturday market.

This is an ideal starting point for excursions up and down the Dordogne River, with beautiful scenery and dramatic castles lining the valley in both directions. Close by are the caves of Les Eyzies (20km) and Lascaux II with France's most famous prehistoric cave paintings. In Sarlat there are tennis courts (1km), riding stables (2km) and bicycle hire (1km). There is a leisure lake close by at Groléjac (10km) and river bathing, canoeing and fishing can be found on the Dordogne River (5km). There is a 9 hole golf course 6km away at Vitrac and an 18 hole course 26km away at Siorac-en-Périgord.

The watermill, reached via a picturesque stone bridge, was built in the 18th century and is set in a mature garden of 2000sqm within 2 hectares of grounds.
