About this property

BUTTERFLY Cottage - Cosy Romantic Cottage in a calm hamlet, heated pool, gym

Butterfly Cottage is centrally located in the most desirable part of the Dordogne - the Perigord Noir. Located in a hamlet on a no-through-road (no passing traffic) the location is very peaceful and enjoys beautiful views across the village and the surrounding countryside. The Cottage is just minutes from fairytale settings of Chateau de Commarque and Les Jardins de Marqueyssac, historical sites of Font de Gaume, Lascaux Caves, Chateau Castlenaud and medieval villages of Beynac, Les Eyzies and Sarlat-la-Caneda.

The cottage looks out onto a large courtyard with a beautiful Mulberry tree that sits in the centre. The courtyard is your own private area to relax in and enjoy watching the swallows fly in and out of the barn door. Also, your personal 3 burner Weber gas grill is in the courtyard so you can cook up a barbeque. Inside the cottage there are beautiful wooden floors and all the modern conveniences of home. There is a fully equipped kitchen with a breakfast table and bar stools. The living and dining room area is one great room. The living room has 2 comfortable reclining leather chairs and a lovely sofa to relax on. The custom made sofa is a sleeper bed for the possibility of having a third guest. The dining area has a wonderful large bar top table that seats up to 4 persons. The bathroom is down stairs and is fully updated with a new walk-in rain shower. The spacious master bedroom is upstairs with a beautiful wood beam ceiling, wood floors, and a heavenly King size bed (180*200).

This is a charming property full of character, and beautifully furnished. You have the feel of the 17th century, but all the upgrades and comfort of home. There is a gorgeous garden to relax in and read a book. So whether you are a couple on your honeymoon, friends on vacation, or a family wanting some quality time together, there is something for everyone to enjoy at The Butterfly Cottage.

Butterfly Cottage is your sanctuary for relaxation but as it is located in the heart of the famous Golden Triangle of the Perigord Noir we are just 6kms from Les Eyzies, 6kms from the lovely village of St. Cyprien (and all required services) and 20 mins to the historic town of Sarlat-la-Caneda. Our local centre at Meyrals is just 3km away and provides a bakery, a bar and 2 restaurants.

Les Hirondelles Butterfly Cottage Perfection
We have had a great time in this beautiful region. Andy was the perfect host, always on hand with any queries or just a chat. The accomodation is full of character, comfortable and well appointed. We enjoyed use of the pool and hot tube. The gardens and setting are idyllic. Plenty to see and do without having to drive too far, local restaurants great value😄All in all A+++

Nous avons passé une très bonne semaine dans ce logis des hirondelles, très bien accueilli par nos hôtes (des œufs, des noix et une très bonne bouteille de vin en cadeaux),très discret ,s inquiétant pour nous si nous avions pas froid au cas où que oui du bois a été coupé, un endroit très très calme, de plus beaucoup de choses à faire et a voir dans la région. Nous conseillons vivement cet endroit aux futurs visiteurs de la region.

Herbsttage im Perigord
Wir haben Ende September / Anfang Oktober fast zwei Wochen auf dem Anwesen von Les Hirondelles verbracht und haben den Aufenthalt sehr genossen. Wir hatten das Butterfly Cottage gemietet. Es ist mit sehr viel Liebe zum Detail eingerichtet und es hat an nichts gefehlt. Der große Garten mit beheiztem Pool ist ein Traum! Die beiden Gastgeber Uliana und Andy sind äußerst liebenswürdig und sehr hilfsbereit. Auch unser kleiner Hund fühlte sich pudelwohl. Wir können das Objekt auf jeden Fall weiterempfehlen und wir werden eines Tages bestimmt wiederkommen. Vielen Dank an Uliana und Andy - auch für die Eier von ihren glücklichen Hühnern und den leckeren Rotwein!

Savoir Vivre
Es ist schon ein schönes Fleckchen Erde, Carmensac! Ländlich ruhig, ein paar Häuser rundherum, im Nachbarhaus wird manchmal Klavier geübt (schön), die eigenen Hühner liefern Eier, der Feigenbaum frische Feigen, insgesamt viel Natur rundherum. Dazu hat man noch den Luxus eines herrlichen Pools und Jaccuzis! Das Cottage ist sehr gemütlich eingerichtet, Andy und Uliana sind immer ansprechbar. In 3 km Entfernung gibt es ein Dorf mit Bäcker und Restaurant. Ein paar Kilometer weiter St. Cyprienne und LesEsseysies und Le Buege, hier kann man auf den Spuren Martin Walkers und seinem Romanhelden Bruno, Chef de Police, wandeln. Kanufahren auf der Dordogne, Burgen, Schlösser an jeder Ecke, prähistorische Höhlen (wohnungen) , besonders die Höhlen von Lascaux sollte man besichtigen. Wunderbares, preiswertes Essen und Märkte mit typischen Köstlichkeiten findet man überall.. Das Einzige, was uns gefehlt hat, sind ausgeschilderte Wanderwege. Das wäre noch ausbaufähig.

Un magnifique séjour dans un cadre verdoyant et reposant
Nous recommandons vivement le Butterfly Cottage. Un magnifique endroit situé dans le triangle d'or du Périgord Noir. Les hôtes sont d'une gentillesse et d'une attention incroyable, discrets mais très disponibles si besoin. Nous avons même reçu des œufs frais des poules des propriétaires ainsi qu'une bonne bouteille de vin et des noix à notre arrivée. Le cottage est totalement dans le cadre des habitations locales. Tout le confort est présent, tout en conservant l'authenticité du bâtiment. La piscine est juste géniale. Des transats et des parasols sont à disposition en suffisance. Un sans faute. Nous y reviendrons sans doute.

About the host

Hosted by Andy and Uliana

Host profile image
We have a corporate career behind us but have now decided to embark on a new adventure. We purchased Les Hirondelles in November 2018. The property has consistently earned 5 star ratings and rave reviews over the last 10 years. In our first season we were able to maintain the high standard of accommodation and hospitality, earning our own 5 star ratings.

Why they chose this property

Location, location, location!!! All our guests agree we are in the center of paradise. Privacy, peace, and quiet!! Away from it all, but with everything close by. You have a gorgeous villa to relax and enjoy, but within 5 to 20 minutes you can see so many fascinating and historical sites in the Perigord Noir. There is so much to see and do in our area, that you could stay for a month and not see it all. There are beautiful village's and chateaux's to explore; the Dordogne and Vezere rivers offering fishing and canoeing; as well as superb restaurants and shops. There are numerous vineyards of Bergerac for wine enthusiasts and there is a different local market situated in a nearby village or town for every day of the week. This is a wonderful home to enjoy and relax in, has all the amenities you could want, and close to everything. We hope to see you soon!!

What makes this property unique

You will have a wonderful home to stay in, that is full of so much history itself. The villa has the feel of the 17th century, but all the upgrades and comfort of home. It's your home away from home.

Large heated salt water pool. Gym with running machine, cycling and more. Weber gas grill. WiFi throughout the property. Complete kitchen made for a chef including microwave, dishwasher, toaster, coffee maker & cooking spices. Private French Chef (upon request). Washer & dryer. Hair dryer, iron, & ironing board.
