Perched on a hill at the foot of castle ramparts sits a beautifully converted house with stunning valley and woodland views. It’s warm and friendly with two sitting rooms, one with slouchy sofa and big coffee table, the other with sofabed. Wend your way up oak staircases to two cosy bedrooms with iron paysan-style beds, higgledy-piggledy beams, oak floors and sensational film-set views. Just go steady in the dead of night as you back down the stairs – to a state-of-the-art bathroom with a swish walk-in shower and tub. The rustic-contemporary kitchen is a delight, with its exposed stone walls, flagstone floors, and corner dining table. Leave your car in the square opposite and spend the days pottering up and down the steep cobblestone streets and the Perigord Noir houses of the village, bright with flowers in summer. Don’t miss the château gardens, Wednesday’s market, river swimming 4km away. Enjoy a quiet drink on the small terrace, then amble off to a restaurant or bar. This may not be perfect for the very young, but for a family or two couples happy to share a bathroom, it’s bliss.
We have just spent two glorious weeks at Rediat Cor, and quite simply cannot imagine a more perfect place to be based. The house is a delight: beautifully and sympathetically furnished and decorated, with very comfortable beds, great bathroom and even a lovely desk to work at! The location is idyllic: a beautiful village, very, very peaceful, and yet with a fabulous bakery, an excellent epicerie, and superb restaurants just steps away from the house. This quiet part of the Dordogne is so beautiful with small villages to explore, and many excellent & well-marked walking trails. Thank you Amy!
