The sounds of nature, birdsong, little breeze from the Dordogne, flowers all around, good wine, great food products... who could ask for more?

The irregular-shaped swimming pool, approximately 14m x 9m (46' x 30'), is in a beautiful setting about 25-30 meters from the house.

The pool is heated only between June 15 and September 15 of any given year, if you rent before or after this dates, and you want the pool heated, you must contact us and ask for it, and we will work out the conditions with you. The pool is taken care of all year round, with state of the art system for best comfort in the water. The pool is kept clean and tidy by our grounds keeper.

The Brook and the River - On the eastern side of the property a little brook marks the border between the jurisdictions of Siorac and Marnac. Along this brook you can walk down to the bank of the Dordogne. A great place to finish your day with a glass of wine, sitting on a rock or a tree stump, feet in the cool water. You can also borrow the two canoes (with a signed waiver) and go up or down the river and back. But just enjoying the most beautiful sunsets with a glass of cool Monbazillac is an experience you will not easily forget.
