Fantastic property, like a home from home, it is quirky, authentic and a very traditional home. Amazing amount of space, inside and out. Stunning views and widlife abounds. We had two weeks using Pignon as a base to visit the region and attend a family wedding.
Great and formidable house and garden for big family
A wonderfully cool house with many rooms and space. enclosed garden is nice for a dog. The balcony is huge. A wonderful place to have breakfast in the morning and drink wine in the evening. Also closed, so ideal for our dog (or small children). Excellent contact with the landlord! Supermarkets within 15 minutes. Need a car. We'll be back for sure.
This property was in a rural and scenic location with easy access to the vineyards that we visited. Lovely views from the balcony and the swimming pool was great for cooling down

Pretty location
The house is in a really idyllic location, the chateau opposite is very pretty, and there are fabulous views from the balcony (which is very spacious)
Unfortunately, we had a few problems with our stay. Namely the cleanliness of the property (the kitchen in particular, which had dirty wipes left on the counters) and overall the house was very dusty with a lot of cobwebs and clutter.
Check in was after 4pm on the day of arrival, which is okay. However the check out was supposed to be 10am, but this was disrupted as we were informed the cleaner would arrive at 8:30am on our last day. This means there were two days which were comprised by timings, and given that the property was not clean when we arrived, an 8 hour allowance for cleaning time does not seem reasonable.
We were disappointed to find that many of the wardrobes in the rooms were full of clothes and therefore unusable for our stay. Coat hangers were left out to instead use the hooks on the doors for storing clothes.
Also not mentioned in the listing is the fact that some rooms were locked off, which means that you don't have access to the full house. This is fine, however the house only mentions 5 bedrooms, and the fact it is only partial use should be mentioned in the description of the property.
We have used house-swap and exchange websites before, and this house felt more like a free exchange than a property that charges rent. We felt that we were living in somebody's house, and for the price that we paid, this is not appropriate or compatible with the price range.
Overall the facilities weren't sufficient for us (a group of 7), let alone a group of 10. There were not enough mugs / glasses / heat mats etc. We also thought the layout of the house could be more accommodating for family dynamics, most of the sofas and chairs were covered in dust sheets. Although they do provide a TV, there are no sofas or living area on which to watch it in the place where the TV is stationed.
However, the pool is great, as well as the piano, which several of our family members enjoyed playing. We also really appreciated the hospitality on arrival, as the owner's brother came to welcome us with some bottles of wine and encouraged us to visit their vineyard, which we visited and was lovely as described.
Overall, the property has potential as it's in a lovely location, however the facilities need renovating and modernising to align with the price range.

au calme, en famille...
Idéale si on souhaite du calme et de la tranquilité.
Attention, 1h30 minimum en voiture, de la cote et des villages du perigord mais parfait pour les passionnés de vin (15/20 mn de St Emilion par exemple...)
Très bon accueil et hôte très disponible en amont de notre arrivée pour répondre à nos questions.
Un lieu calme et parfait pour des retrouvailles entre amis ou en famille !
De très belles ballades à faire aux alentours !
Je recommande vivement la maison de Marc pour vos futures vacances !
Gîte très agréable, dans un très beau site, très calme. Le propriétaire s'est montré très conciliant. Très bon séjour.

About the host
Hosted by Marc Franc de Ferriere
Owner of a consulting company specialized in the reconversion of factorys sites and revitalization of territories. I am passionate by history and local archaeology (lot of sites to visit in the area), local economic development, and aviation, as an instrument rated pilot, having been trained at the local aerodrome of Sainte Foy la Grande, and fully equipped Bergerac airport.
Why they chose this property
Having inherited this family property, in our family since 1904, I seek now to redevelop it by starting again, with my children, our own wine production since 2010 (under the name of Domaine Pignon, available locally) and tourism, by sharing it, and its exceptional environment, as holidays rental. I spent all my holidays here, this house represents thus all our childhood, and the history of our family.
What makes this property unique
The countryside quietness: at the center of the property, the house is within approximately 100 meters of the local road, and protected by the park. The terrace, which runs over the entire length of the house makes it possible to eat & BBQ outside in any season (part is protected by a roof ) and to accomodate many people during meal very casual (15 to 20 people seating capacity). Good place to rest, overlooking the Dordogne valley. The park which allows many activities (petanque, …) . Walks around the house in the vines, and forests around.
