Manoir Du Jasmin | 7-Bedroom Villa in Saint-Capraise-d’Eymet Eymet

Fourteen guests arrive at a converted 19th-century manor house in Saint-Capraise-d’Eymet, Dordogne, stepping into seven bedrooms spread across a main residence and separate cottage. The landscape unfolds in all directions—vineyards, rolling meadows, and the kind of silence that only southern French countryside can deliver. This is a luxury villa rental in the heart of wine country where the heated pool gleams against limestone terraces and medieval bastide towns sit just minutes away by car.

Inside Manoir Du Jasmin

Manoir Du Jasmin sleeps 14 guests across 7 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, distributed between the main manor house, a detached cottage, and converted barn facilities. The layout accommodates multiple families or large friend groups with ease, each space designed for both privacy and gathering.

Main Manor House (Two Floors): A generous living room anchors the ground floor, flowing into a fully equipped kitchen featuring a substantial oven, gas cooking surfaces, and quality coffee equipment—the kind of kitchen that transforms reluctant cooks into volunteers. The open-plan dining area connects seamlessly to this culinary space, ideal for communal meals. Bedroom 1 offers a king-size bed with an en suite bathroom featuring both shower and WC. Bedroom 2 contains two double beds, while Bedrooms 3 and 4 each feature queen-size beds. Two additional bathrooms—one with bath, shower and WC; another with shower and WC—serve the first floor. A ground floor WC provides additional convenience.

Separate Cottage (Two Floors): Perfect for extended families seeking semi-independence, the cottage contains its own living room and kitchen-dining area. Three queen-size bedrooms (Bedrooms 5, 6, and 7) occupy the upper level. A bathroom with bath, overhead shower and WC, plus a separate WC, complete the cottage facilities.

Converted Barn: A games room features snooker and table tennis for indoor entertainment, while a full bar with seating by the fireplace creates an atmospheric space for evening gatherings. Above, the loft houses a home cinema room, and a WC serves the barn spaces.

Throughout the property, air-conditioning ensures comfort during warm months, while Wi-Fi connectivity maintains your digital links to the outside world. A gym facility supports those maintaining fitness routines during their stay.

Outdoor Spaces and Living

The 15-acre grounds represent the villa’s greatest asset. A heated swimming pool measuring 14 metres by 5 metres dominates the landscape, surrounded by a limestone terrace and protected by a glass-panelled safety gate—a critical feature for families with young children. The pool operates approximately from May through October, allowing guests to dive into azure water while gazing across the Dordogne countryside.

Terraces surround both the main manor and cottage, each designed for al-fresco dining and morning coffee rituals. A dedicated pizza oven and built-in BBQ setup cater to outdoor entertaining, whether you’re hosting an intimate dinner or feeding all 14 guests under stars. Boules equipment sits ready on the lawn for afternoon games—a quintessentially French pursuit that requires minimal skill but maximum enjoyment.

The gardens explode with seasonal colour. Lavender, roses, and jasmine bloom in succession, their fragrances drifting across the terraces during warm months. A productive vegetable garden and established fruit trees provide fresh ingredients—aubergines, chillies, and whatever else flourishes that season. Lawned areas and meadows roll toward the property’s private vineyard plantings, creating the sensation of inhabiting a working wine estate rather than simply visiting one.

Location: Saint-Capraise-d’Eymet and the Surrounding Area

Saint-Capraise-d’Eymet sits in the southern Dordogne region, positioned between two significant river valleys and within striking distance of France’s most celebrated wine territories. The property occupies a small hamlet location, yet convenience is never sacrificed—a boulangerie and essentials shop operate in the nearest village, just minutes away.

Eymet, 8km south, functions as the local hub.

Train services depart from Bergerac to Sarlat-la-Canéda (60km, approximately one hour) and Bordeaux (75 minutes), expanding exploration possibilities considerably.

Issigeac, 15km southwest and officially recognised as one of France’s Plus Beaux Villages, hosts a notable Sunday morning farmer’s market. Monflanquin and Monpazier, both also designated Plus Beaux Villages, showcase medieval bastide town planning at its finest. Limeuil, positioned at the confluence of the Dordogne and Vézère rivers, offers picturesque riverside scenery.

For gastronomic pilgrims, the Michelin-starred restaurant Le Vieux Logis in Trémolat (22km) represents the region’s culinary apex, ideally paired with a Dordogne river excursion. Monbazillac’s wine estates welcome visitors for tastings, while numerous wineries cluster within 15km of the property, many accessible by scenic drives through sunflower-dotted summer fields.
