The honey of our honeymoon 💛
Everything was absolutely magical!! The property was stunning!!! The kitchen was easy to navigate with all of the necessities! The location was a dream, it truly felt like a travel back into the past. The locals bars and restaurants were wonderful to explore. The community was incredibly welcoming, and we were able to get advice on all of the best foods/activities in the surrounding areas. The host were extremely thorough with their welcoming booklet with all of the details of what to do in the area. The slow life of the village was the perfect recharge that we needed. Can’t wait to return!! Side note: the house itself was incredibly clean and smelled amazing!!

“Slice of Paradise”
My sister and myself just had the “experience of our lives” living in Issigeac for two weeks and enjoying the 200 Year Old Stone House. So glad we met Lee-Anne who told us about the house and the VRBO site. We were instantly enchanted with the village and each day we met more friends and cherished more memories. It is a warm and cozy village and the house is so authentic and inviting. Our days were spent touring the lovely countryside and coming back to “our paradise “ relaxing in the lovely yard and dining at the restaurants in town. We had tears in our “eyes as we said Au Revoir”” to our friends and village life. We will be back someday as our karma found this paradise and Lee-Anne.💕

Perfect spot
We spent a week in Issigeac in October visiting the Dordogne region. Issigeac is the perfect mix of local restaurants and shops…and has a SUPERB farmers market on Sunday mornings. The house is an absolutely charming period house that has all the modern conveniences. We enjoyed early evening drinks in the private courtyard and cooking our meals in the well-stocked kitchen. There is also a small grocer/convenience stort a two-minute walk from the house that is open all week. We had diner at L’Atelier and la Brucelière and would recommend both if you want to experience excellent French cuisine. Be aware, however, that many businesses are closed on Mondays and Tuesdays during the off-season, which is the price you pay to avoid the summer crowds. This is a charming spot in a historic village in a fabulous region of France. Loved our stay!

Character galore in this charming house and village!
The property was exactly like in the pictures and description-all of the character and charm combined with the modern conveniences we wanted. The kitchen was really well supplied and everything was clean and ready for our arrival. We especially loved the private courtyard!! The location couldn’t have been better, within the village and with all that lies around it to explore. We were able to do and see so much, everything was accessible from here. The hosts were super helpful and nice! We found the guidebook in the house a terrific resource when choosing places to visit. We’d love to return someday!

Thanks so much for your review Paul. We thoroughly enjoyed having you and were happy we could extend your stay as requested. We'll definitely check on the lights and the dishwasher situation with our housekeeper. Thanks for bringing that to our attention. And thank you as well for the gorgeous multi-media painting your partner made for us about Issigeac. What a treat (and what a talented partner)! It will be displayed with pride. Cheers.

Perfect getaway in the Purple Périgord region!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stayed in Issigeac, the house was a perfect spot to not only relax in, but it's location was wonderful to explore the surrounding region, and a bit further a field (such as Lascaux). The garden was an oasis - a verdant, rosemary scented walled area that was just right for an early morning cup of tea. I even took a nap on the "grass" one day! We appreciated the kitchen and facilities from laundry to a dishwasher. The location was super convenient for exploring the village, the Sunday Market did not disappoint and boulangerie provided fresh baguette and patisseries! The selection of restaurants and cafes for a small village were outstanding and the artsy shops and boutiques were surprisingly sophisticated. All in all, a great stay - hope to be back one day and really get to know the region better!

marvelous
I wanted to find a place to stay for a while (one month) to do some reading and writing. The house in Issigeac was perfect. In fact, if it hadn't already been booked, I would have preferred to spend yet another month. House is full of character, yet easy to keep tidy. Everything works. Village is charming, friendly and has all one needs. Will definitely think about a return visit.

Issigeac is as charming as ever and this house is a lovely place from where to enjoy it. Comfortable and quiet, but close to the heart of the village. Recommended.

A perfect home with mix of history and modern conveniences in a small but amazingly vibrant village
The home itself is wonderful. Lots of room for our family of 5; everything you could need from the fully equipped kitchen to the upper floor with amazing books and games. Mike and Joanna have taken the time to provide detailed information about the running of the house, and all that is happening and to be enjoyed in the village and area.With this information we had some of the most excellent adventures. Our first day we were thrilled with the huge market, followed that evening by a village wide music festival! Despite being a small village, there are great shops for food, wine, restaurants and local artisans. Whether you're looking for a home base for adventures or a sanctuary to simply sit in the courtyard and read a book, this home will be just what you need.

Wonderful stay in a fantastic village
We spent 10 days in Issigeac , a most beautiful , charming medieval village just south of Bergerac . Perfect location for exploring the surrounding area where we travelled not only locally but as far as Bordeaux , St Emilion, Duras, Domme and Toulouse . Issigeavc had al the facilities required , great local restaurants a couple of nice bars as well as a fantastic Sunday market where people came to from all over . Our house we rented was right in the heart of the village amongst the narrow lanes , traditional stone walls but modern kitchen and bathroom and as well an outdoor walled garden area - perfect for a glass of wine ...or two! Issigeac was perfect in every way and gave us a taste of French rural village life away from the pace of big cities , would recommend it to any one wanting a holiday in a wonderful French village .

Village et location agréables mais attention aux prestations annoncées !
Notre séjour ne s'est pas passé comme nous l'aurions souhaité car toutes les prestations annoncées n'étaient pas disponibles: pas de connexion internet (il n'y avait pas de box et pas de 4G dans la maison ni d'ailleurs quasiment aucun réseau), pas de machine à laver non plus. La propriétaire a oublié de nous en informer et pour ce désagrément nous a dédommagé. Mais les vélos et canoë proposés dans le descriptif sont inutilisables car ensevelis sous des fientes de pigeons et de poussière, le parasol sert de nid pour les guêpes et il n'y a pas non plus de parking à proprement parler car c'est un parking municipal à 100m de la maison (la maison n'y a pas de place réservée). Il y a aussi dans le descriptif des éléments tel que sèche-cheveux ou grille pain que l'on a pas trouvé. Les placards étaient remplis de nourriture si bien que l'on ne pouvait pas ranger nos courses. Malgré tout ça, location calme et village sympa. Assurez-vous juste que toutes les prestations proposées sont bien disponibles.

Très beau village
Issigeac est un très beau village pittoresque, excellent point de départ pour découvrir la région. La maison est "dans son jus", mais cuisine et salle de bain sont bien équipées. Lors de notre séjour, internet et la TV ne fonctionnaient pas (il faut sortir de la maison pour avoir du réseau), nous avons profité de la bibliothèque anglophone et des DVD à disposition. Environnement très calme mais proche des commerces.

excellente semaine
La maison est très bien placée dans le village, proche de tout et en même temps au calme. Elle est rustique mais agréable à vivre. Le jardinet est petit mais bien orienté. Il y a absolument tout ce qu'il faut pour la cuisine, les draps, les serviettes etc. Tous les commerces sont présents dans le village, pas besoin de prendre la voiture pour les courses. Le marché du dimanche est un vrai régal. Parfait!
