About this property
Spacious holiday cottage with pool and panoramic view
Nestled in the heart of the Périgord, this 300 m² house offers unmatched tranquility and stunning panoramic views. This 19th-century property has been fully renovated by us, combining authenticity and charm with high-end, practical, and functional features. Le Pigeonnier features a private heated swimming pool (from May to September), secured and measuring 11 x 5 m, surrounded by a 110 m² stone terrace offering breathtaking views and beautiful sunsets over the surrounding countryside. At your disposal: a volleyball/badminton court, as well as many games such as pétanque, molkky, etc. Set on a 1.2-hectare wooded plot, it can comfortably accommodate up to 15 guests.
On the ground floor, you will find a bedroom with an en-suite bathroom, a fully equipped kitchen for preparing meals for everyone, and a dining room that can host the entire group. The kitchen opens onto a covered terrace, where you will find a very large outdoor dining table, an XXL fire pit barbecue, and a ping-pong table. The spacious living room is equipped with a 55-inch smart TV and an American pool table, as well as a wood-burning stove for cozy evenings. Le Pigeonnier is also equipped with fiber-optic internet, providing a fast and reliable connection, as well as a Type 2 charging station for electric vehicles.
Upstairs, Le Pigeonnier offers 6 bedrooms with high ceilings, each with its own private bathroom (with either a bathtub or a walk-in shower measuring 120 x 80 cm). The bedrooms are accessible via two separate staircases, ensuring privacy: 3 bedrooms on the left (for 6 guests) and 3 bedrooms on the right (for 8 guests), separated by a highly insulated partition. Each bedroom features high-quality bedding (160 cm beds) with memory foam mattresses.
To make the most of your stay, several on-demand services are available, such as: private chef, massages, yoga classes, babysitting, and on-site wine tasting. If you are interested, feel free to let us know your needs; we will take care of organizing everything to make your stay unforgettable. Baby beds and high chairs are available upon request.
The gîte is located 1.5 km from the village of Pont-Saint-Mamet, which offers a tennis court (access included for our guests), a small grocery store with an excellent bakery, as well as a bar/restaurant, tobacco shop, newsstand, etc. In the surrounding area, you will find many fishing ponds and hiking trails starting right from the house.

Absolutely stunning venue with very accommodating hosts. The pool was clean, the house was immaculate and the outside area was incredible (especially to watch the stars at night). It has everything you need for the perfect holiday with family and friends.
Le Pigeonnier is a very well-thought out holiday home which was extremely comfortable for four families. A very well-equipped kitchen, we loved eating outside, pool and pool area great, lovely garden space for the children, volleyball/table tennis/pool were enjoyed. Tennis at Pont Saint Mamet was easy to organise, great local shop. We loved the isolation and peace. Merci!
Rural property perfect for groups wanting to relax.
The property is rural which means a silent night and no need to worry about neighbours. The pool is great and is warm enough for kids. The rooms are very well layed out and with plenty of room. The lounge and pool areas is fantastic, especially in rainy days. Which we had a few of. You have easy access to local towns and city's and supermarkets are about 20mins away. Overall it was a perfect location for our 4 families with 7 children and 8 adults.
Absolutely beautiful property and surroundings. We had a fantastic holiday at Le Pigeonnier. There was everything there we needed from the pool and all the outside games to the kitchen which was really well equipped, the BBQ was incredible!Wonderful place in a stunning part of France

Family trip
Great size house, well equipped, amazing views, plenty of outside space, lovely clean pool.
We had a brilliant week ,the only downside was it was not particularly toddler friendly, also renters should be aware that that it is a drive to local amenities.
The house is excellent for 2/3 families. The pool and outside was brilliant for fun family time. We ate outside most days, making use of the good BBQ facilities. Check in was easy and efficient and the house has everything you need. Laure and Norbert could not do enough for us and visited to tend the pool, replenish equipment and help with advice. I’d recommend the property highly - it is nice and remote but close enough to the main Dordogne attractions. Our only issue was we had temperatures in the high 30s and 40s which constrained what you could realistically achieve.
We were 9 adults and 2 babies staying for 10 days. We were extremely pleased with the set up of the villa and the large living spaces within and external. The pool is lovely. The external area is very spacious and nicely private with a nice garden and eating area. Laure was an excellent host and very responsive.
A great vacation for all in peaceful surroundings, well located in the Dordogne and we would be very happy to return.
Lovely property and Laure was really helpful. An example - we weren’t sure if we’d fitted the new gas bottle correctly and they came out to check for us. Also were happy to tell us of all the best places to go and to eat. A pleasure to stay here. Thank you.
Lovely 7 bedroom house in the middle of fabulous countryside. Had all of the amenities we needed. Great pool. Wonderful views. The nearby local shop had virtually everything one needed. Larger supermarkets were an easy 15 minute drive. Bergerac airport around 25 mins away. Laure and Norbert were our hosts and were always available without being intrusive. I would highly recommend for a perfect French family holiday home.

Fantastic house - paradise
We had a wonderful week at the beginning of July 2016. The weather was incredible and the house even better. It is very well equipped with lots of different seating areas so great for large groups. The pool is beautiful and a few metres from the house so you can make noise without being heard in the house which was great in the evening.
The house really is nicely secluded. You can only see other houses in the far distance and you are not overlooked at all. Perfect for noisy families. Even though it is secluded villamblard is only a 5-10 mi drive away and is very sweet with patisserie and cafe. Bergerac is only 15-20 mins away. It is really easy to get to places from here as one of the main roads is not too far.
Beautiful country walks all around the house which we enjoyed.
The only reasons I haven't marked as 5 stars is that there are not toilets in every room which can be awkward when you have different families sharing.
Also the wifi didn't work most of the time and it is only a hotspot not full wifi so not good enough if you need to work or do anything complicated.
We did find communication slow with the hosts. Although they were very nice.
Would recommend this house and we would love to come back again
gite très agréable,la propriétaire très gentille et accueillanteGite conforme a l'annonce ,dommage il manque des toilettes dans la chambre du rez-de-chaussée pour personne a mobilité réduite?Nous avons passées une semaine très agréable en famille.du 24mai au 31 mai 2025
We hebben een prachtige vakantie gehad met kinderen en kleinkinderen, ondanks de hittegolf.
Een mooi en stijlvol ingericht huis met alles op en aan, gelegen op een prachtige locatie.
Supervriendelijke en bereidwillige eigenaars!
Tout est au mieux dans la plus chouette des campagnes possibles !
Jeunes et grands garderont longtemps le souvenir joyeux de Douville et de son Pigeonnier.
Équipements, piscine, paysage, tout est au top !
Merci à Laure et Norbert pour leur disponibilité.
Nous avons passé une très belle semaine au Pigeonnier avec toute notre famille (10 adultes et 5 enfants).
La maison est très agréable, avec de grandes pièces à vivre pour que tout le monde se sente à l'aise et puisse avoir sa place. Les équipements sont à la hauteur et en nombre tres suffisant pour les grands groupes.
Les extérieurs sont tout aussi accueillant et permettent d'en profiter pleinement.
En conclusion: calme, confort et convivialité.
Un grand merci à Laure et Norbert pour leur accueil, leur écoute et leur bienveillance.
nous avons passé un très agréable séjour dans une maison qui a été parfaite pour nos besoins
les hôtes sont très accueillants et très cools
nous étions 12 vétérans dans une habitation très spacieuse
avec un endroit pour les repas bien conçu,
site très au calme, nécessitant des moyens de locomotion .
car un peu éloigné de tous les sites du Périgord
merci encore à Marie Laure et Norbert
car un peu à l'écart
Superb location and property for a large family holiday, very peaceful with so much space inside and out. Swimming pool was fantastic plus table tennis, volleyball and a pool table meant there was always something to do, or do nothing and enjoy the views. Laure was an excellent host and very prompt at answering any queries.
Superbe maison de vacances dans un endroit splendide
Nous avons passé une excellente semaine entre amis au Pigeonnier. L’intérieur de la maison, spacieux et décoré avec goût était très agréable (notamment les vastes chambres avec chacune leurs salles de bains privatives). L’extérieur de la maison est somptueux, en pleine nature avec aucun voisin à proximité ! Nous recommandons vivement cette location.
Séjour tres agreable en famille dans un cadre génial
Très beau séjour dans le Pigeonnier. Le cadre est magnifique, perdu dans la nature et dominant toute la campagne et les bois ; l'intérieur très agréable grâce à de belles pièces bien distribuées et bien entretenus avec une déco sympa. Terrasse au top pour nos repas de famille, le grand jardin permet à chacun de profiter de ses activités (piscine, volley, pétanque, molky, ping pong, lecture, etc ...)
Un séjour inoubliable !
Avec un groupe de 15 amis, nous avons passé un magnifique séjour au Pigeonnier. Tout d'abord, Laure et Norbert sont deux personnes merveilleuses qui nous ont donné un accueil très chaleureux. Nous avons communiqué bien à l'avance et à notre arrivée, ils nous ont fait une visite complète du domaine. La maison elle-même est parfaite pour un groupe d'amis. La cuisine et le salon sont entièrement équipés, les chambres sont très propres. Le jardin est immense. La piscine est à la température idéale et il y a beaucoup de place pour les activités sportives. Nous avons eu le plaisir de rencontrer Laure et Norbert plusieurs fois et à chaque fois ils nous ont donné de nouveaux conseils sur la région et les promenades à faire. Nous avons vraiment apprécié notre voyage et Le Pigeonnier nous manquera beaucoup. Ce fut une expérience inoubliable et nous reviendrons certainement. Merci encore à Laure et Norbert !
