Appréciations pour La Maison Des Dîmes, Saint-aquilin:
July 2012
The location of this beautiful old house could not be more perfect. There is a very special atmosphere here and if you are looking for peace and tranqulility this is the spot. The rooms are delightful and our host Madame Bernado could not have been more welcoming. Occasionally, on request, she will cook an evening meal for guests, a real treat! Plenty of walks on your doorstep with woodland, meadows and small villages to discover. At the same time you are ideally placed for visits to Bergerac and Perigeux. Our host was happy to share her knowledge of the local area and was also kind enough to make a phone reservation at a restaurant for us when we arrived.We are already planning a return visit!
