La Pouyette was originally, in the 17th Century, one large farm with several barns and outbuildings. The Holiday House was carefully restored and enlarged, maintaining all traditional features, from what was once one of the lime stone outbuildings of the original farm. the distinctive character of old stone houses in the region has been retained, but now allows today's standard of comfort. The 10 x 5 m pool is set in a large terrace of 120 qm which leads directly to the living room. Evergreen shrubs and small olive trees give through every season that southern feeling we all like. La Pouyette offers simplicity and charm for those with eclectic taste who want a traditional holiday home with a 'modern touch'
La Pouyette
The surrounding area
La Pouyette is standing on a hilltop with magnificent views of the rolling countryside in a small hamlet of four, well spaced apart, other properties owned by mainly retired French families. Situated between Verteillac (4 Km north) and - just ten minutes away to the lively little town of Riberac (8 km south), which has every facility and the best weekly market in the region each Friday. Not far you'll find countless Chateaux, typical Perigord hamlets and fortified hilltop towns. Breathtaking views of valleys, undulating patch-works of fields and small forests, exuding in all seasons the distinctive aroma of the Perigord. The Perigord is an invitation to re-discover the real 'art of life', a recipe of 'bien-etre' and taste.
