Maison Dorée Lemance Dordogne: 4-Bedroom Villa with Heated Pool, Hot Tub & Tennis Court in
Holiday Home Rental Description
This exceptional luxury villa rental Dordogne offers an enchanting escape into the heart of southwestern France, where rolling green hills, ancient woodland and sun-drenched terraces create the backdrop for an unforgettable holiday. Maison Dorée Lemance Dordogne sits at the scenic crossroads of the Dordogne and Lot-et-Garonne regions, delivering a rare combination of peaceful rural seclusion and effortless access to some of France’s most celebrated landscapes and gastronomic traditions. With space for up to eight guests across four beautifully appointed bedrooms, this property promises leisurely days by the heated pool, spirited matches on the private tennis court and long, lingering meals prepared with the freshest local produce.
Inside Maison Dorée Lemance Dordogne
Step through the entrance hall and the tone is immediately set: warm, inviting and refined without a trace of pretension. The generous living room is the social heart of the home, furnished with deep, comfortable seating arranged around a cast-iron stove that fills the space with a golden glow on cooler evenings. A wall-mounted satellite TV, DVD and CD player, and a premium Bose sound system ensure entertainment for every mood, whether it is a family film night or a quiet soundtrack to after-dinner conversation. French doors open directly onto the front terrace, flooding the room with natural light and blurring the line between indoors and out.
The kitchen is designed for those who relish cooking on holiday. An Aga-style range cooker anchors the workspace, complemented by a large American-style fridge-freezer, a microwave and a dishwasher that makes post-feast clean-up effortless. Herbs from the garden, ripe tomatoes from a nearby market stall and a bottle of Bergerac wine are all you need to create something memorable here. A second set of doors leads from the kitchen to the dining terrace, making it wonderfully simple to carry platters straight outside for alfresco meals under the canopy of mature trees.
A dedicated dining room provides an elegant setting for more formal occasions, while a separate study or reading nook offers a quiet corner for anyone seeking a moment of solitude. Upstairs, four bedrooms are arranged to give families and groups plenty of privacy. Each room features quality linens, generous wardrobe space and soft, muted colour palettes inspired by the surrounding countryside. Two well-equipped bathrooms serve the upper floor, finished with classic fixtures and stocked with plush towels. The layout ensures that couples, parents and children all have their own retreat at the end of each sun-filled day.
Outdoor Spaces and Living
The grounds of Maison Dorée Lemance Dordogne unfold across manicured lawns, dappled woodland and vibrant flower borders. At the centre of it all, a heated swimming pool sparkles in the Dordogne sunlight, bordered by a wide stone terrace with loungers positioned to catch the best of the afternoon warmth. When muscles need soothing after a day of exploring, the outdoor hot tub and spa area deliver pure relaxation under open skies. For those who prefer something more active, the private tennis court is ready for friendly rallies and competitive sets alike.
A built-in barbecue station sits beside the main terrace, ideal for grilling duck breast, local sausages or simply charring fresh vegetables while sipping rosé. Children will find the expansive lawns and woodland edges irresistible for hide-and-seek, den building and all the adventures that a luxury villa rental Dordogne can inspire. Private parking keeps the driveway clear and secure, allowing guests to come and go at their own pace.
Exploring the Dordogne Region and Beyond
Maison Dorée Lemance Dordogne occupies a privileged position just outside the village of Sauveterre-la-Lémance, roughly two kilometres from everyday essentials such as a bakery, a small grocery shop and a welcoming café. The medieval bastide town of Villeréal lies around fifteen kilometres to the northwest, offering a renowned Saturday morning market where local farmers sell foie gras, walnuts, strawberries and artisan cheeses. Approximately twenty kilometres to the northeast, the charming town of Fumel provides larger supermarkets, pharmacies and riverside walks along the Lot.
Culture lovers will appreciate the proximity to some of the region’s most atmospheric attractions. The prehistoric caves at Pech Merle are about an hour’s drive, while the clifftop village of Saint-Cirq-Lapopie, regularly voted one of the most beautiful villages in France, is around fifty minutes away. Château de Bonaguil, a spectacular late-medieval fortress, stands just eight kilometres from the property and makes for a wonderful half-day excursion.
