Guest Reviews Of Coustalou

We enjoyed a wonderful week at Coustalou Villefranche du Perigord, the house was very welcoming and perfect for our needs, very clean, comfortable and so much space and everything you could possibly need, plus a lovely welcome from the keyholder and a bottle of local wine!  Sitting on the terrace until late watching the stars drinking wine or watching the world go by at Jean-marie's cafe after visits to various beautiful bastide towns, castle and ancient churches and riverside beaches was just fantastic, we are looking forward to our next visit.

We have visited Coustalou Villefranche du Perigord twice, both times very different but equally enjoyable.

During our holidays we managed to cram in visits (amongst others) to the largest freshwater aquarium in Europe at the Aquarium du Perigord Noir, an enchanting tour of the Chateau de Commarque, a castle that lay undiscovered for hundreds of years and a ride on a medieval Gabarre on the Dordogne river at the winemaking capital of Burgundy. The highlight of our two visits was the town of Rocamadour, a town built into the very rock of the mountains itself, truly a magnificent spectacle.

We could not fault the accommodation, it was spacious and welcoming and always a relaxing place to come home to after a hard days sightseeing. If you're looking for a holiday to relax and unwind then this is definitely the place for you.

A fabulous family holiday in VDP, our thanks go to Rachel and David for allowing us to "borrow" their home for our two week holiday.

With four adults and two children the gite was everything and more than we expected.   The locals were welcoming, friendly and helpful, the daily trip for the croissants was one of Sauls (aged 10) holiday memories as it was safe enough to go the village alone.  The local campsite involved us from the first day where we enjoyed lazy days and themed nights.

The area has many wonderful day trips to keep everyone busy such as canoeing the Dordogne (especially loved by Frankie the springer spaniel) and the surrounding bastide towns and famous caves. A holiday that will be treasured for many years, thank you so much.
