Anna Harrison "" I stayed at La Vielle Dezie with my partner, some friends and their young daughter and we couldn't have imagined a more perfect week away. The cottage was beautifully furbished, very well equipped with a superb swimming pool and Jacuzzi and located in a fantasic setting. Dougie Dog was very well behaved even with young children, and it was easy to get to the local tourist attractions from here. Only 35 min drive from Bergerac airport was also very convenient. I would certainly go back again in the future.
Will Hurrell: We can't recommend this as a holiday location enough. Beautiful cottage, a fantastic rural setting (found it quite difficult to find to begin with) but still near enough to the busier attractions like Beynac, Sarlat etc. Grant & Christelle are wonderful hosts have now become good friends. The pool is lovely, the horses are great & we even fell in love with their pet dog Dougie...despite him pinching some of our BBQ items! Highly recommended, so much so that we've already booked for 2010!
Rebecca Goulding: We have just returned from a wonderful holiday at La Vieille Dezie with our 4 daughters and friends (staying in the neighbouring gite). We had a wonderful holiday and are already planning our return visit to the gite and Lodge.
The accomadation is beautiful and the location is surrounding area breathtaking.
Would thoroughly recommend to everyone!
Anna Zanghi: We had a wonderful and very relaxing time! Grant and Christelle are great hosts and as per our previous stay very supportive of our children - taking them on pony rides & even teaching them about gardening. We like their relaxed, welcoming + supportive yet non intrusive style! We certainly will be back !
Thanks again
Anna & the Gang
Nicola Codd: I stayed at La Vielle Dezie with my husband, my Mum and Dad and my mother in law and it was one of the best holidays we have ever had.
The gite is beautiful with a very impressive media set up full of films for rainy evenings and a barbeque coupled with georgous views for sunny ones. The surrounding area is packed full of villages and towns which are perfect for a day or afternoon visit. One of the highlights for me was a day visit to Beynac (an old childhood favourite for me), and we all thoroughly enjoyed an afternoon canooing.
We enjoyed a fair few sunny afternoons drinking sparkling wine around the pool and every morning headed out to the local village for fresh croissants and baguette (a car is a must for this part of the experience).
A perfect place for anyone whose idea of heaven is barbeque followed by wine and cheese in peace and quiet watching the sun set over beautiful countryside !
Viv Dykstra: We stayed in the Villa with our 3 kids during July and had a great time. The Villa & Pool were lovely and we were delighted with the area and immediate grounds.
Grant & Christelle looked after us really well and didnt impose at all - the kids got to ride the pony and everything was perfect.
Thanks so much for a great holiday, Viv, Ade & the Girls. x
Nick Shelley: We really enjoyed our fortnights holiday in June at La Vieille Dezie. Grant and Christelle were very welcoming, introducing our three year old son to the joys of horses, even taking him for a walk on their pony. The surrounding area is full of interest for people of all ages, from caves to funfairs and markets. The house provided a lovely place to return to, BBQs in the evening sat on the covered patio, watching the sun set across the fields in the late evening from inside the swimming pool, and plenty of good wine! A lovely relaxing holiday.
Heini Suvitie: La Vieille Dezie is a great place for relaxing! You are surrounded by peaceful country side atmosphere. The house is renovated with romantic rustic style which creates a beautiful ambience in the house. The yard is huge and all this space gives you opportunities for different kind of outdoor activities. The swimming pool is nice during the sunny days. There are many beautiful and idyllic villages nearby. It’s worth renting a car to get to know those villages. The owners are very friendly and they offer real hospitality. They gave us also many good tips about the villages, wine yards, shops etc. During our holiday we enjoyed the tranquility, serenity, beautiful views, French country side ambience and not forgetting all the dining & wining together! :)
