Maison des Templiers (ref. 0306) - Gite rental Perigord 4 sleeps

From the street, this house looks just like many others in Domme - but don't be fooled by appearances!
Push open the front door and you will discover a house full of character, tastefully decorated and mostly furnished with antiques yet with all modern comforts. Nestled on the top of the medieval remparts of the village, it offers spectacular views from the terrace to La Porte des Tours - the original gateway into the village, and Templar knights prison!

INTERIOR DESCRIPTION:
*********************
The front door opens into a hallway where several steps lead up to:
- a large open plan living space of 55m² offering three distinct areas:

* a separate toilet

The house is double glazed and offers air conditioning in all rooms except the conservatory.
Bed linen and towels are included for your comfort, and internet WiFi access is available throughout the house.

Despite the comfort and the quality of the interior furnishings, it is without doubt the exterior space of this property which gives it that "something" truly special!

* A terrace built actually onto the remparts offers views across the huge garden, private pool and countryside beyond. There is a wooden table and chairs and a gas barbecue for al fresco dining.
* A conservatory offers a covered space for relaxing whilst enjoying the view over the Porte des Tours, which is illuminated every evening!
From this level, a path leads in front of the owners house (who lives next door but is rarely present and when is, extremely discreet!), down some stone steps and actually through an archway in the remparts!
* At this level you will find the wonderful pool measuring 8m x 4m, private, south facing and surrounded by decking and established plants. There are sun loungers and a large parasol ideal for lazy afternoons!
* A vast garden, all lawned and surrounded by shrubs and flowers stretches before you, and leads to a lower level where the more adventurous can wander amongst the hundred year old trees and discover the nature rare in the centre of Domme!
* On an upper level, and accessible via the street, or via a steep slope from the garden, is a private, gated parking area for two cars.

Classed 4 star in 2021, the property is situated on the ground floor of a house. It has been completely renovated recently and is completely independent. The extremely discreet owner lives next door - invisible unless you need her!
