The house

The Maison is uniquely situated overlooking the natural northern tip of the Vézère Valley which slopes down to the Dordogne River. The area has a rural feel. Although it is only a few kilometres from the river Vézère, it is also not far from a number of beautiful viewpoints, villages and towns, read more..

Maison La Chapelle Bellevue consists of what was once a traditional house with the local sawmill and woodworking shop on 1 hectare of land. Below that are 2 hectares of unused farmland which has grown into more of a natural forest. Followed by the pastures of local farmers and a small river. The land can be wandered, played with or gathered wood for outdoor fire pit. There are currants, red and white grapes, peach, pear, cherry, apple trees in the garden and plenty of wild blackberry, mirrabelle plum and plum trees in the fields. You are free to pick the ripe fruits.

The house has been converted into a guest house with all rooms newly (re)built and furnished including all-new electricity. One of the two bedrooms on the second floor has a roof terrace with beautiful wide views over the valley. The house is 15 metres wide and faces south.
